Creigh Deeds Meltdown Tops 50,000 Views on YouTube

Click Here to Join the Fun! In Kaine-Speak, Deeds is a “Fool” More Than 30-Times Over Tim Kaine expressed outrage over proposals to use portions of Virginia’s General Fund to pay for programs other than public education, seriously calling into question the validity of more than 30 spending promises offered by Creigh Deeds. Kaine made the exclamation with reference to Bob McDonnell’s proposal to use a part of the General Fund to address Virginia’s crumbling transportation system. In reality, only about 45-percent of the General Fund is used for public schools. That must mean that Kaine opposes almost all of Deeds’ plans. Read more here.

Deeds is Fibbing on General Fund Argument About Roads

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine and his chosen successor for governor Creigh Deeds are now howling daily that Bob McDonnell would harm public schools with his roads plan, despite Deeds’ own extensive list of programs that draw money from similar sources. Deeds has listed more than 30 programs that would come from the same pool of money. Also, in reality, only about 45-percent of the General Fund is spent on education. Deeds Kaine are in cahoots in this scheme to mislead Virginia voters. If you believe the claim that any dime spent out of the General Fund robs education, then you have to conclude that Deeds himself is like Bonnie and Clyde rolled into one deceitful package. So, to paraphrase Deeds himself: ‘Creigh, what about the children?’ Read more.

Doctors Blast Deeds: Higher Malpractice Cap = Reduced Access to Medical Care

Four Virginia medical doctors have criticized Creigh Deeds for his attempt to triple the limit of awards for malpractice claims against physicians, a move that would have seriously threatened the ability of many doctors to continue their practices and endangered the health of patients seeking care. Deeds sponsored legislation in the General Assembly that would have increased the cap on such claims from $1 million to $3 million. Malpractice claims and the lawsuits that accompany them increase the cost of the insurance doctors must have to remain in the medical field – in many cases driving them out of practice entirely. In addition, fearing possible malpractice claims, some doctors often perform what is known as “defensive medicine,” which could mean keeping a patient in the hospital for a stay longer than fully necessary or calling for additional tests and procedures in order to avoid charges that sufficient care was not provided. These factors contribute to the increasing costs of medical care for everyone. Read more about why Deeds is wrong on medical issues. Cuccinelli Schools Shannon in WTOP Radio Debate Democratic candidate for attorney general Steve Shannon fraudulently claimed to be the centrist option in the race in a debate today on WTOP radio in Washington, DC, despite using his only opportunity to question his opponent, Republican Ken Cuccinelli, to push a radical environmentalist agenda that will harm the economy and destroy jobs in areas of Virginia that can least afford it. This should not surprise any observers, as Big Labor-backed Shannon attended a seminar hosted by the Democratic Attorneys General Association in September that gave lessons on how to attack private employers on environmental grounds. “I am a pro-business, law and order centrist,” Shannon claimed during the debate, despite his record of supporting Big Labor issues 100-percent of the time, according to the AFL-CIO. Big Labor has also been among Shannon’s greatest financial admirers, giving him $145,800 in contributions in his political career, including $119,850 during his run for attorney general (www.vpap.org). In Shannon’s only opportunity to question Cuccinelli, he essentially asked why his opponent did not fully agree with those who say that global warming is threatening modern civilization. The query puts Shannon squarely in line with those in the environmental lobby and the Democratic wings of Congress who are aggressively pursuing Cap-and-Trade legislation, a known job killer that will increase the price of energy, boost the cost of doing business and raise expenses for every person living in the United States.
