This Time in America
We are living in a rather odd time. It is critical historically for many
different reasons. We will each see what is important from our own hearts.
The politicians foisted by the juggernaut of the candidate selection may be shiny apples, but not of the best qualities. I long for the day when Americans will do an end run on those political parties and vote for the candidate – with no regard
to party. I hope the days of the polished look, Brooks Brother’s suits and the candidate stepping from a sleek, black limo will end.
As an American - I look for heart in candidates. I look for how time has tested them and how they grew from that.
I am no fan of either major political party. In fact, I channel my distain for them in what I do – knowing what they have done to America. (Clearly though, they are not to blame for all our foibles). I truly wonder about the future of the
heart of the Republican Party, and as it is now, its relevance to our future. As I travel the 10th Congressional District of Virginia, nearly all yard signs barking out the names of Romney and Allen are in front of the homes of the One Percent. Those citizens may have great heart – they should think hard about our future though.

Since an article appeared today in Loudoun Times Mirror that misrepresents my views on some important topics, I am posting this “correction”. Any correction issued by the LTM will be after the election. You can bet that any gross misprint about Frank Wolf is extremely unusual.
The Times Mirror states I favor no federal money for transportation projects. That is simply not true. The most relevant transportation project in the District is extension of Metro. I have been very much an advocate for federal money such projects. Your congressman has failed the district on that count with not just “too little too late”, but NO FEDERAL MONEY at all. That is a huge mistake that in the months ahead will become painfully obvious to Loudoun residents. It has already and will continue to cause friction between residents and state and local officials.
I have to add that coverage by the news media for the incumbent is huge compared with any column inches for the challengers. Clearly, some of that is knowing which side of the bread your butter is on.
