Manassas & Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee

Just what did anyone expect from a group of complaining politicians?  We’ve all seen how the GOP Presidential candidates decided to use the CNBC debate moderators as a means to amp up poll numbers. Attacking the questioners of what’s characterized as a left leaning media outlet was just the answer.  So now the whiners want to organize the debates themselves.  This must be an attractive option for the boys at…

Yesterday, you might have seen my explanation of the I66 toll plan.  I won’t gloat, but feeling vindicated, I read today WAPO editorial page and found that I’m not the only one who is disgusted with Hal Pal’s scary ads about the toll or Jackson Miller’s lie-ridden signs posted in the usual GOP supporter’s yards. But wait, there’s more.  Hal Pal was called to task by Gov. McAuliffe for Hal…

Hal Pal claims in his TV ads that he will put a stop to I66 tolls.  Yes, darn it.  The ad would lead one to believe that anyone who uses I66 inside the beltway will have to pay a toll.  Of course, this is a big lie perpetuated by the Virginia GOP particularly in Northern Virginia.  The lie is a means to whip up the masses who might not take…

The Richmond Times-Dispatch has published a good overview of our local Virginia Senate race whose outcome may determine which party controls the Virginia Senate for the next four years. http://www.richmond.com/news/article_1dc167c9-b6bd-5adb-b22b-c5581b6cdb7b.html

Republican Hal Parrish Speaks To Only Republicans After refusing to sit down with reporters or to stand up at debates, Republican Hal Parrish has come out of seclusion to address only hand-picked Republican supporters. According to his email to supporters below, he’s willing to discuss a “Campaign Status Update” and take a “Supporter Q&A”.  As there are only 6 Days left until the election, here are 5 questions that we would…

Did you see the new TV ads where Hal Pal has claimed responsibility for “creating 1600 new jobs” in Manassas?  Interesting.  Hal Pal has been on the Manassas City Council in some capacity as either Councilman or Mayor for 22 years.  So over that 22 years, he is responsible for creating only 1600 new jobs while the while the population has increased from 26,000 to 40,000.  And this is a…

If it wasn’t so pathetic, it would be funny.  So Hal Pal has Sheriff Glen Hill (Republican) in his latest TV ad supporting him.   You need to know, first of all, that Sheriff Hill is not only a Republican, but he is running for Sheriff and will be on the ballot next Tuesday unopposed.  You also need to know that Sheriff Hill is African-American.  I suspect that this is…

Sadly, I’ve been around long enough to have known Harry Parrish, Hal Pal’s dad, who was a Manassas City Councilman and then Mayor of Manassas before he was elected to the House of Delegates in 1982 where he served until he died in 2006.  I guess this is a “back then” kind of thought but I never remember Harry as controversial or supporting anything except what was best for his…
