One nominee is the Loudoun Independent for running those disgusting allegations about Tag Greason.
Lloyd the Idiot
on November 26th, 2009Creigh Deeds. Hands down.
Brian W. Schoeneman
on November 26th, 2009So many to choose from here in Loudoun – I’ll go with the Loudoun Independent too. Stevens Miller is the Loudoun Turkey runner up.
Loudoun Lady
on November 26th, 2009Sure The Independent is possible, but I would think John Geddie is the responsible individual in that instance. Let’s stick with people, people. If you two are amenable, let’s count those as votes for John Geddie, representing The Independent. personally, I would pick Poison over Geddie since I hold him ultimately responsible. Maybe Ward Armstrong, but I’m trying to stick locally.
Loudoun Insider
on November 26th, 2009Jeff Frederick hands down.
Dan (Not the liberal one)
on November 26th, 2009Stevens Miller deserves the Turkey of the Year award…followed by Creigh Deeds.
Crystal Clear Conservative
on November 26th, 2009If it were stll spring time I’d say Pat Muldoon but Miller would be a fantastic choice!
Dan (Not the liberal one)
on November 26th, 2009Stevens Miller
FedUp
on November 26th, 2009No question, Stevens Miller.
Susie
on November 26th, 2009A turkey is too good for Stevens Miller, but he works for this contest. So sure he was going to win. What a tool.
Yick
on November 26th, 2009Stevens Miller for his people who don’t vote can go to hell statement from his Board chair
NotStevensMiller
on November 26th, 20092 people who are definitely not turkeys: the NoVa couple that crashed the White House state dinner. har! they are tres’ cool.
kelley in virginia
on November 26th, 2009if nancy pelosi is not Turkey-ess of the year, I will eat my hat.
kelley in virginia
on November 26th, 2009Stevens Miller. No contest. Five minutes after being smacked down by Tom Rust he’s already talking openly about running again in 2011. Maybe he ought to try being supervisor for a while. Not a sermon, just a thought.
David Poisson gets runner-up. When any two-term incumbent loses that badly, it’s clear something went terribly wrong.
Anon

Turkey of the year definitely goes to gutter Stoner for showing up at a private Poisson dinner party packing a weapon and displaying intimidation tactics for an all time low level in Loudoun County politics. Congratulations big man! You make such a fine ambassador for the leadership of the LCRC. Luckily your antics had no effect on the outcome of the competition for the 32nd.
BlackOut
on November 26th, 2009It’s gotta be Creigh Deeds, but I like the idea of Jeff Frederick as well. At the beginning of the year, many of us were openly fretting about running a full election cycle with him hanging around our neck, and when the process to get rid of him was in full swing, people on both sides were talking about the long-term effects it would have on the party. Instead, the deed was done, Jeff burned his bridges on the way out, Pat Mullins stepped in admirably, and Bob McDonnell took the hand-off from there and ran almost untouched towards the endzone.
VA Blogger
on November 26th, 2009I think I need to cast my vote for J-Fred after thinking about it awhile. Turkey fits him quite well. Let’s let this go through tommorow and we’ll tally up and announce a winner, with some special artwork!
Loudoun Insider
on November 26th, 2009I’m extremely torn between Frederick and Miller. Each has problems they need to deal with. And neither should be leading anyone.
Blackout…..are you afraid of a highly trained fellow who nows the laws of the Commonwealth better than you carrying because the State has not only granted him the right to carry, but to instrct others how to carry?
Where was this “private” dinner? In a public facility? Did Stone remain on public property at all times? And if he did enter private property, did you check with the owner of said property for Stone’s expressed permission from that owner? Do you know how many times we’ve sat down to discuss issues before us that I’ve actually been carrying?
The Bulletproof Monk
on November 26th, 2009Stevens Miller is my first choice, but Poisson is a close second. Now we have Dave Marsden to add to the list. Perhaps Dave should ask Stevens how it worked out for him when he pretended to live in a new district so that he could run for office.
Lovettsville Lady
on November 26th, 2009Yea my formal vote will have to go to J-Fred.
Dan (Not the liberal one)
on November 27th, 2009Blackout, You are full of Turkey Shit. I saw G. Stone at the public location you are speaking of and have a picture of him, he was not packing heat and was on public property. He sat in his car and got nowhere near anyone. You better be very careful with your accusations. You border on obsession with some of this crap.
If you want to correct behavior – start with your own party, perhaps Tom Beres. He heckles and harrasses members of the LCRC and embarrasses himself and the LCDC with every public event. I have personally witnessed this behavior on 2 occassions and suspect he is on the verge of losing control at some point. Quite honestly, the man is deranged.
So I chane my vote, Turkey of they year is Tom Beres followed by Blackout. They seem to be very close and imho, dangerous.
Loudoun Lady
on November 27th, 2009I know nothing about this issue – period – so for my edification, why would G. Stone sit in a car outside a private Poisson dinner party (public or private – with or without heat) apparently with LL? That seems a bit odd to me. Sounds like an FBI stakeout.
Eric the 1/2 troll
on November 27th, 2009Eric, Not with me – but I did see him. It was a public street.
*
As you know, David Poisson ran the dirtiest campaign in Loudoun history. Mr. Stone was making a public statement on his campaign tactics, on public property. The LCDC babies, to include Blackout, have been crying like little girls because their candidate was called out on his behavior and was subsequently handed his ass in the election. Not only are they disgusting campaigners, they are sore losers.
*
There was no stakeout, no one was armed and Blackout is obsessed with this issue. Quite frankly it is disturbing and BO should get on with his life. His candidate got his ass kicked and he is still boo-hooing.
Loudoun Lady
on November 27th, 2009BO-”Luckily your antics had no effect on the outcome of the competition for the 32nd.”
Did you see the results?
^
Further calling out GS for his actions? Is this not the USA and can you say “individual freedom” Did he break the law? The sheriff was called and responded. Following investigation left saying there was NO wrong doing. Was he nasty or creating a ruckus? Unlike the Poisson campaign no lies or false information promoted against the candidate.
*
I say either Miller or the Poisson Campaign Manager for his radical and viscious mailing against TAG
jtr
on November 27th, 2009I may have to vote for the whole “FBI is coming!” thing, since it’s apparently still alive–lol
Barbara Munsey
on November 27th, 2009Here are my choices.
Delegate Poisson for green lighting a despicable campaign.
Delegate Churchill for proposing, paying for and enacting such a despicable campaign.
Stevens miller, the list is long.
Blackout for being a misinformed, misguided, intellectually bankrupt small minded putz. One can only hope, one day he will actually gather facts before making a complete and utter ass of himself.
G. Stone
on November 27th, 2009BO’s fake outrage is a smokescreen. The facts:
I sat in my car on a public street in front of Del. Poisson’s house with a banner taped to the side of the car. The banner was taken directly from a campaign mailer responding to the well publicized despicable mailers sent out on Del Poisson’s behalf by the Delegates minority leader in the House of Delegates.The entire time I was there I read the Sports Page. Poisson supporters were angered because I would not engage them in conversation. I was there to sit in my car , on a public street and read the newspaper. They being so frustrated called the sheriffs office who in turn told them after a short conversation with me, there is no crime in reading the sports page.
BO’s being a Poisson supporter and having zero real information is simply playing the role of hack.
G. Stone
on November 27th, 2009Jeff Frederick, hands down Turkey of the Year. Stevens Miller for Chicken of the Year. David Poisson for Snake of the Year (for being the lowest of the low).
Loudoun Watcher
on November 27th, 2009too many turkeys to count. Frederick’s ordeal had no impact on the november elections (Thank, God). But he’s still a turkey — turdkey is more like it. Miller definitely. Poisson for snake — Poison snake? I like that!
Others:
Skip Hatrick for threatening and bellyaching
Tim Bucholz — for blowing it as LCDC chairman
Ward Armstrong — snake category for his PAC’s sleaze campaign against Tag Greason
Kristen umstattd for her stupid class warfare flier on water rates
steve shannon for actually spending election day at one of the smallest precincts in loudon
RABBLE ROUSER
on November 27th, 2009Oh the outrage!! Gutter Stoner WAS on public property. Well no s*it. The picture proves it as he stands in the gutter along side the road. It was pure intimidation politics. Did he really think that was the audience to try and change someone’s choice in candidates? Gutter politics, certainly not an upstanding example of how to win a race with pride. It is an outrage that this knucklehead is allowed to be an officer in a political party. Rock on with your own views, as it is certainly your right. But don’t fly the flag of others, with a ego pumping title, and claim to be some rah rah hero. Therefore, Gutter Stoner is my nomination for Turkey of the Year.
.
Gutter I sure hope your aim is better than your assumptions because they are way off target. You assume too much. Sort of a theme for you. I support good candidates, and Poisson and Greason are both good men.
BlackOut
on November 27th, 2009Oh for the record, I have sent my fair share of complaints and outrage to the Dishonorable Ward Armstrong. There are twits in both parties. Maybe Armstrong should get at least a turkey leg of the gutter Stoner Turkey of the Year award. Haha, I’d love to see those two in a turkey cage together. My guess is they’d stuff each other.
BlackOut
on November 27th, 2009BO, If the minions in your party are scared of a man reading the sportspage in his car, it does not bode well for our national security. It’s sad when the police are made to waste their time for men that think and act like scared children. Again the resemblence to the national party is noted, a bunch of sissies that can’t handle even the most mundane displays of our rights. No wonder you all go ape-shit over nativity scenes and patriotic displays of the flag, you can’t even handle a sign on a car. Wa-wa-wa, get yer balnket.
*
Furtherm if you want an atta boy for voicing your displeasure over Armstrong’s smut tactics you’re going to have to fish in another pond, considering your support most of the knuckleheads in his party. Please stop trying to portray yourself as some middle of the road, free thinker. It is telling that you are still using the moniker of BlackOut, apparently you haven’t even gotten over THAT election and you won. Disgusting campaigners, sore losers and even worse winners.
Loudoun Lady
on November 27th, 2009Blackout, I have no idea where your problem with Greg Stone comes from and your attitude is making me not care. What I do care about is someone spreading bullsh*t regarding an event they weren’t present for. I was there where Greg was parked and I don’t recall anyone pointing YOU out. Since LL has already so effectively called bovine excrement on your description of the event, why not be man enough to admit you were blowing smoke about it?
In other words, bub, if lying’s the only way you can attempt to advance your political agenda, there’s something wrong with your political agenda.
In fact, I’ll throw my vote for Turkey of the Year 3 ways: Dave Poisson, Ward Armstrong, and Blackout. Feel free to accept on all of your behalves, BO.
Ric James
on November 27th, 2009Barack Obama and Jeff Fredrick.
PWConservative
on November 27th, 2009As a Dem, my perspective is a little different. But not completely inappropriate for this blog in particular, since I think the biggest Turkey of the Year is the Democratic Party of Virginia. There really were too many people who thought that because we had won big last year, this year was in the bag. (I’m trying to think of a catchy hunting reference — hunting snipe? — or something, but nothing’s coming to me…) But whenever a political party starts thinking that way, they end up not only as the Turkey, but also eating crow.
Gretchen Laskas
on November 27th, 2009Blackout, what I found very funny was you telling Stone not to assume, when your whole original post was chocked full of them.
The Bulletproof Monk
on November 27th, 2009Gretchen, you make a fine and extremely on point analysis.
The Bulletproof Monk
on November 27th, 2009It is more than a little ironic that somebody is outraged by the fact that somebody else displayed a flier that was produced in support of the candidate that person is supporting in the first place…and that person considers it “gutter politics.” Well then what about the fine people that produced the flier in the first place?
Anyway, that whole episode makes me tempted to go with Poisson, but I have to go with Stevens Miller. His wife and kids must be like, you moved us out of nice, comfortable Broadlands for THIS? So that you can get beaten in a race for a $20k a year job.
And I’m telling you, there are a LOT of people who voted for him last night because he wasn’t Steve Snow that aren’t exactly excited about a second term. I’m talking about hardcore D’s here too.
NovaConservative
on November 27th, 2009Blackout, I may have to change my turkey vote after your ridiculous comments. I know nothing of Greg Stone’s antics but what facts are listed in your posts. Those facts do not advocate your point of view, even taken in the light most sympathetic to your argument. Elected officials get protested all the time. Yes, in front of their homes. Ask Tom Davis and Gerry Connolly. It comes with the territory. Besides, he who removes his political campaign to the proverbial gutter cannot then have his minions complain about the man who protests those lowball tactics while actually standing in the gutter.
Anon
on November 27th, 2009Blackout says “Both Poisson and Greason are good men.” How can you equate the two when Poisson did NOTHING to stop Amstrong’s PAC from putting all that filth in people’s mailboxes? Tag Greason is a good man and ran an honorable campaign; Poisson is a sleaze. Calling Greg Stone “Gutter Stoner” is reprehensible. You need to wake up and realize that your bogeyman, Dick Black, no longer holds much power over the local Republicans and the LCRC — chiefly because of guys like Greg — is a much better group. My suggestion is you go to the democratic blogs because you clearly don’t like Republicans, especially if you can put Tag Greason on the same level as Poison snake. You have a problem, Blackout.
RABBLE ROUSER
on November 27th, 2009How about LI himself for his endless rants on Ken Cuccinelli as well has his predictions that Ken would drag down the rest of the GOP ticket causing us to lose.
Rtwng Extrmst
on November 27th, 2009Just remember that BO will bring this up again, and again, and again….ad nauseum. It is bizarre and a little sad.
Loudoun Lady
on November 27th, 2009RABBLE ROUSER: “…and realize that your bogeyman, Dick Black, no longer holds much…” Please change that to NO power over the local Republicans and the LCRC.
Loudoun Watcher
on November 27th, 2009Patrick Muldoon.
I can’t think of a worse candidate, a worse message, and worse convention speech than we saw from this guy. Its still incomprehensible that anyone could run saying Bill Bolling wasn’t conservative enough.
Chris
on November 27th, 2009rtwing nutjob…. You overlook alot of things to get to an extremely unserved insult aimed at LI.
Look, When the nomination had been made, LI and many of us made that prediction. We never counted on a number of things that actualy came to pass.
a: Ken actually played well with the ticket and actually ended up complimenting it, instead of standing at odds with it. My hat is off to the man. I really am that impressed with his ability to know when to stop ranting about social issues in the midst of a recession, and start selling solutions for the financial gloom that is on the top of everyone’s to-do list.
b: Shannon ran an abysmal race. I believe Steve even slept thru half of it.
Had his people dug into “certain” areas of Ken’s past which I will not rehash here….there was paydirt in several of the man’s direct quotes, as well as a smattering of historical footnotes and financing issues. Shannon failed. This helped Ken.
After that determination was made in that Convention Hall, we all came home and did more than some of the sorriest bunch of sore losers did for McCain.
We backed Ken, instead of pouting at home with our lip out.

on November 28th, 2009OK, time to call it. Stevens Miller wins in a landslide with 10 votes. I’ve changed the photo to a reader’s submitted montage. J-Fred gets runner-up.
Here’s my quick count: Miller 10, Jeff Frederick 5, Poisson 2, Loudoun Independent 2, Creigh Deeds 2, Nacny Pelosi 1, G. Stone 1, Thom Beres 1, DPVA 1, BlackOut 1, Loudoun Insider 1, Patrick Muldoon 1, the Salahis 1.
