Nothing like catching a liar on tape. I bet Pat will think twice before looking into a camera again and spewing bullshit.

And Herrity skipped the Tea party public forum. How can he take on Connolly if he can't even defend his record?

Herrity also ducked out on the PWC GOP meeting earlier this week without taking questions. Which is he afraid to defend, his tax increases or his smears of Keith Fimian using Connolly's talking points?

Yea, this is a lot like Fimian saying he will increase taxes once unemployment drops below 5% but no one on this blog would mention that? Wonder why?
Grasping at straws...I am so tired of Fimian being a career politician. After all he has been running for office longer than Pat Herrity has been Supervisor yet he's been rejected by the voters as a out-of-touch candidate who does not understand the issues of the day.
Fimian rails against Washington but uses every political trick out of the Clinton-Obama campaign playbook to try to get elected. His motto: "Don't run on anything substantive just ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK! LIE, LIE, LIE!"
And by the way, where is Keith's wife?

Lawrenceville,
Herrity's the one grasping at straws. All he can use to attack Keith are DCCC attacks from 2008. Herrity on the other hand continually lies to consitituents, insisting that he lowered taxes when he, in reality, raised them. It's really despicable, Herrity sent me a mailer comparing Keith to Obama appointees. That's low, dirty, and leaves a bad taste in Herrity's supporters' mouths.
Herrity was supposed to be at the tea party meeting Monday, but lo and behold, he sent his campaign manager instead. While he was a nice guy and politely answered questions, we were looking forward to hear Pat speak in person. Why is he afraid to face the people? Why did he bail on the GOP debate? Forget where Keith's wife is, where is Pat Herrity? He's the one running for Congress after all.

Herrity is clearly behind in the race. He should ask Tom Davis to make a public endorsement, perhaps on a TV ad. That might help turn things around.

Is it June 9th yet?

Undecided is kicking both candidates' rear end according to your candidate's poll.
BTW, MC did you see the latest fundraising numbers? I have - it was plus 60K for Pat from what I could see. 92% in district vs. 80% also.

Credoad...did you see cash on hand minus debt owed vendors?
Fimian 360k to Herrity 50k
Posted by: Boss Herrity | May 28, 2010 at 01:27 PM
After attacking Keith for loaning himself money, it is funny to see Pat have to give himself 10k.
Posted by: Boss Herrity | May 28, 2010 at 01:28 PM
Herrity has no grassroots support. According to his finance report, he has shelled out almost 20k on paid canvassers. Do those canvassers work for ACORN the rest of the year?
Posted by: Astroturf | May 28, 2010 at 01:45 PM
I suppose the 20K Herrity paid for canvassers includes local gop, Dan, and VA Blogger. He certainly didn't get much return on investment.
Herrity has lots of signs. Not much else that I can see. We have a saying about that in Texas. "All hat, no cattle."
In local parlance, that probably translates as Astroturf.

The low-down on Keith Fimian...knew there was a 'Paul Harvey rest of the story' to him...even without this, Keith's own words in public have revealed he has no business running - now this???
The real, original founder of the company and the man that Keith threatened, abused, and almost put into bankruptcy, was actually a man by the name of John McGreevy of McLean. Here is an excerpt from an e-mail McGreevy wrote with a couple of key facts about the real founding of U.S. Inspect, and the reality behind Keith’s egomaniacal character.
“The foundation of Keith Fimian’s campaign is built upon a fraud. He in no way is who he says he is.
1. Founding the company. The idea for the company was mine. Brian Fimian and I put the strategy together for the company. Brian strongly recommended I bring Keith in to the company saying he could help us work with the investment community and financial issues (he could not help in either area). I still think this makes Keith Fimian a co-founder but in no way was he a founder.
2. The business was started in a room over my garage at … with my wife helping us get the company get off the ground. My family had the largest stock ownership in the company with the combination of what I had and what my wife had. I led the company forward and got it off the ground. The others followed.
3. The radon patent. The principal inventor was Rich Tucker not Keith Fimian. For the most part Keith came along for the patent ride although he did work with the patent lawyers working the financial details out. The listing on the patent should have been Rich Tucker, John McGreevy, Brian Fimian and then Keith Fimian. Mostly Keith was there as our intent to make him part of the process not on what he contributed to the invention. Heck he is an accountant not an engineer or technologist. He screwed us all by putting his name on the patent as it was being submitted. I tried to change it but the lawyers advised against it because it would have raised a red flag for misrepresentation / fraud and it could have cost us the patent.
4. Rich and I had another idea for a Plutonium patent that would allow us to measure it 20 times more accurately than had been done before. We decided to just patent those ideas without the Fimians since they had screwed us on the radon patent.
5. RESTCORP. I had an idea to take the business beyond the radon testing area. At this point in the business we had decided that we (Rich Tucker and John McGreevy) did not want to work with Keith and Brian so it was agreed that we would set this company up with equal ownership. We would proceed to get RESTCORP up and running for all inspection types except radon. RESTCORP would purchase radon inspections from Radonics. Rich and I spent the next 2 years getting this business up and running only to find out that Keith never registered the business so it was never a real company even though we were doing lots of business. I am not sure how we filed tax returns. Maybe Keith just rolled the work up under Radonics. When Keith figured out that RESTCORP was the business of great value he then proceeded to screw us by bringing in a lawyer and a venture capitalist to build a plan to flush us out of the business. RESTCORP was what US Inspect is today. At the point this happened both Rich and I were broke and had no resources to fight them. They made it clear that if we did not restructure the business in their control they would bankrupt us with the inability to pay our share of the Sub Chapter S taxes. We could do nothing else except comply with the screwing.
6. Living under constant threat of physical violence. Keith is extremely volatile and had many outbursts over the years including threats of physical harm to me. The last 2 years that I worked at the company, I carried a stun gun to protect myself. Needless to say it was a stressful environment.”
This is truly devastating to Keith’s entire campaign. Keith’s only involvement with the product that made the business successful was sticking his name on it with the patent office. Likewise, U.S. Inspect was not started in Keith’s basement, garage, or attic as was previously reported and touted by the Fimian crowd.
The simple fact of the matter is Keith Fimian will say and do anything that will benefit Keith Fimian, and in the process of fooling voters he covers up, misrepresents, and distorts the facts.
This race is way out of Fimian’s reach if he is the GOP nominee.
No wonder Democrats in the 11th District are privately discussing voting for him next week in the open GOP primary.
