Many of the readers of West Virginia Red have sent e-mails over the past week complaining about comments that were attributed to someone using the alias “TJ Proctor.” The comments were extremely offensive to many regular readers.

For some time I have been thinking about a redesign and upgrade to the West Virginia Red layout. This is the new look so I hope you all like it. You can leave your comments, complaints, and suggestions on this post.
Also added a few upgrades, like being able to subscribe to the comment feed on a post once you leave a comment. I also added a widget that provides an iPhone format for the iPhone users.
For the last few months I have instructed West Virginia Red writers and contributors to not write about the condition of the West Virginia Republican Party (State Party). I am going to change that policy today.

If you are the least bit in tune with West Virginia Republican Party politics you are aware of the variety of different groups that have competing visions for the State Party. Yesterday, the dispute spilled into the Charleston Gazette.

It seems pretty obvious that our party is divided into two camps: the Anti-Doug and the Pro-Doug. I’m sure it wasn’t the intention of Roman for this site to become notgaryabernathy: part two, but these are real concerns. Read the rest of this entry »
In a few days, as a result of Gary Abernathy’s departure, the Republican Gazette will be taken down and no longer exist. The Republican Gazette has served as West Virginia’s main source for Republican and conservative news for several years. Read the rest of this entry »
Celebrate my fellow Republicans, for our freedom is at hand.I feel much like the Rebel Alliance after they blew up the second Death Star.
Now, just a disclaimer, but I’m not even going to pretend to send this joker off with a pleasant farewell. Roman gets to be the class act, I get to be the jerk; good cop/bad cop if you will.
Hat tip to West Virginia Red for breaking it. The rest of the media followed our lead and now all know.
Also thanks for the work of notgaryabernathy.com and garyandjoewatch.com for laying the foundation. The comments may have gotten nuts on those sites, but the content could not be beat.

It’s a networking and training conference for thinktank investigative reporters. I’m literally hanging out with the smartest people in any room; a who’s who of the best and brightest writers and investigators in the U.S. Read the rest of this entry »
West Virginia Republicans and conservatives, in the past, have had very little presence on the Internet. The few West Virginia blogs and websites that offer Internet readers a conservative viewpoint is limited, which has hurt the effort of Republican and conservative causes in building their organizations and winning elections.
The main goal of West Virginia Red is to offer an outlet for conservative writers and activists to share news, information, and opinions with other like minded individuals.
This project could not come about at a better time. In 2008, Republicans learned the lesson of what happens when we have a weak online and net roots presence.
New media and social networks provided a key role in electing Barack Obama. President Obama devoted substantial resources to building an online network, which he used to recruit volunteers, educate voters, and raise millions of dollars for his campaign. Read the rest of this entry »
