Write-In Jim Rutledge for Attorney General

    Attorney General Doug Gansler (D) is one thing – a politician. He is currently using the post of Attorney General to enforce his political views on the people of Maryland. In March, I wrote an article on the topic after he, by decree, changed the status of same-sex marriages performed outside of Maryland. This is not his job, it’s that of the legislature and shows | Read More »

    Spotlight Baltimore County: Ryan Nawrocki for County Council District 6

    Baltimore County District 6 is currently represented by a rather conservative Democrat, Joe Bartenfelder. Bartenfelder decided to instead of run for reelection – run for County Executive.

Since then, Bartenfelder has been seen with Republicans in the County and has endorsed without actually | Read More »

    Spotlight Baltimore County: Richard Reinhardt for Clerk of the Circuit Court

    Baltimore County’s Clerk of the Circuit Court is an important role that, sadly, is not as visible as some of the flashier posts like County Executive or County Council. The Clerk serves an important function in the county ensuring smooth operations of the Circuit Court.

    Spotlight Baltimore County: David Marks for District 5

    Baltimore County District 5 is currently represented by Vincent Gardina. Gardina is a conservative Democrat who has gained a ridiculous pension before deciding to retire after his multiple terms. Against Gardina, it would be a difficult race – but in an open seat anything can happen. The Democrats nominated commercial insurance broker Mike Ertel. He’s a Teacher’s Union endorsed candidate who has a platform filled | Read More »

    2010 Candidate Interview: Rick Hellberg (R-PA)

    Rick Hellberg is hoping to take down Democratic incumbent, Chaka Fattah, in Pennsylvania’s 2nd Congressional District. What makes Fattah notable is the fact that he wants to tax each of your ATM and other bank transactions. Hellberg is a business owner and non-profit board member with a solid, conservative platform. I asked him if he’d be willing to answer some questions and below are his | Read More »

Based on a review of the race – I like our chances. Kamenetz is | Read More »

He also served in multiple capacities | Read More »

    Draft John Bolton 2012

    I’m going to start the movement right now. Former United Nations Ambassador is an articulate spokesman for conservatism. He’s got a great presence and an even better mustache. I say we draft him for 2012. No, not for President – here in Maryland for US Senate. Bolton is currently a resident of Bethesda, Maryland. He’s lived in Maryland for a good portion of his life, | Read More »

    Why I Will Vote for Eric Wargotz

    A while back, I wrote an article explaining why I wasn’t planning to vote for Eric Wargotz in the primary. Since that point – quite a few things have changed, not the least of which is the fact that he won the primary for US Senate. I congratulate Dr. Wargotz on his primary victory and plan to vote for him in the general election. What | Read More »
