Republican State Senate candidate Patricia Phillips has gone even MORE off the deep end than she usually is. Check this out, and choose whether to laugh, cry, or simply feel pity, as yet another Loudoun County Republican (joining Dick Black, Eugene Delgaudio, Mark Sell, etc.) demonstrates gross incompetence and craziness. Where on earth do the FIND these people?!?

Then, in a recent mailer, she calls out Herring for not thanking veterans -using a picture of a SOVIET officer. Look closely and you'll even see the "CCCP" in one of the medals on his chest.

3. Oh man that is funny :D

Probably some Young Repulican intern decided to use the Google and neglected to review the source of the stock photo...

Well, it's good to see the GOP is finally standing up for old Red Army veterans...I'm sure they could use the support :)

7. A lot of Republican Politicians

Really aren't familiar with what a U.S. military uniform would really look like.

But hey - thanks for "Liberating" Eastern Europe - and don't forget Poland.

8. At what point in this country do Americans say that

we want the best and the brightest in politics? I include college graduates and those that are smart and didn't get a degree?

We are the laughing stock of the world.
