Virginia’s 10th Congressional District, One of Ten Races to Watch in 2016

Comstock seems to want to ride the fence between the moderates and the conservatives on the republican side of the ranch. That is a very lonely place for a republican, and the democrats love it!

Unfortunately, what we really need is leaders that are courageous enough to remind folks that it will be a little painful to wean off the spending of the unearned dollar in order to head off the long-term effects of the present fiscal insanity. DHS was funded. She voted for it. But in doing so Comstock sent a signal that republican principles are exchangeable if she gets the constituent support; given the demographic quantity of government workers in her district. If it were a conservative, they’d have none of it. DHS should have been defunded–for weeks until the president backed off this executive amnesty nonesense. We all know that the critical functions would have remained open and still operate. The purpose of the differing branches of government is to BALANCE the powers (not just for everyone in congress or the courts to follow the White House ideas and interpretations).

She is riding the Frank Wolf coat tails. Moderates are going out of vogue and if she doesn’t start sending conservatives the right signals soon she will indeed have a hard time at a convention.
