A Wolfe in sheep's clothing; The importance of being named Josh Ernest; Learn about Social Security 5/21

The Virginia 11th congressional district convention was held May 14, 2016. The GOP had one filed candidate for Congress, John Michael Wolfe. Mr Wolfe in spite of being the only candidate was rejected by a large margin because the Republican voters were afraid that he may have been a plant by either Gerry Connolly or Terry McAuliffe to give Hillary an even better chance of winning Virginia's 13 electoral votes. If he were truly working for the Democrats, a "Wolfe in sheep's clothing" he could have maligned our GOP nominee and gotten plenty of coverage by the Washington "Macaca" Post.

I recently heard an author interviewed on WMAL who wrote a book on optimizing social security benefits who told a tale of how a reader had tried to take advantage of one of the claiming strategies that was covered in his book but the reader was told on 12 different occasions by Social Security staff that it wasn't possible. The author stepped in and got the Social Security administration to follow the law and let the reader use his claiming strategy. Dear Robert, Mr. Wolfe was supposed to give a four minute speech at the 11th district convention but according to a lengthy email that he sent to all the convention goers at 10:56 AM he claimed that he had to attend to a family medical emergency. There was a sentence in his email that got my spider senses tingling "If a candidate proposes banning all Muslims from the USA, he just lost swing voters" That's quite different from the exact statement that Mr. Trump read, "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on," I asked to speak to the convention on what I had learned of Mr Wolfe, that he had ran as an independent for the VA house of delegates 41st district when there was a Republican incumbent, that according to an article in the Fairfax Connection that he wanted to raise taxes on gasoline and cigarettes and that he wanted to restrict real estate taxes increases to no more than a 5%.  I asked if anyone at the convention could vouch for him. The silence was deafening! We must be more vigilant, if Governor  Terry McAuliffe is willing to unleash 41,200 violent felons on our jury pool, tampering with our intra-party elections to get Hillary elected is just icing on the cake.  The Democrats in Northern Virginia enjoy politics. They are not content just to get plants to run for Republican seats but they go a step further and find plants that with their ironic names, think Josh Ernest, give a middle finger to Republicans.  Michael Webb ran for the Republican nomination to run for Congress in the 8th district. After losing at the convention he decided to run as an independent breaking a pledge that he had signed to support the GOP nominee. After his GOP defeat he posted a screenshot that showed two porn sites "by accident" The press including supposedly conservative WMAL reported on Michael Webb as a Republican candidate for Congress in the 8th district. "Oh what a tangled Webb these Democrats weave!
