However, the "controversy" didn't end there; according to the
Roanoke Times, "a Roanoke-area prosecutor [was]...appointed to pursue possible criminal charges stemming from the election." Also, according to the Roanoke Times, Jenkins claims that the office of registrar Willie Mae Kilgore, was largely responsible. Jenkins is quoted as saying, "If the registrar's office had been run as a professional office that followed the guidelines, this never would have happened." Meanwhile, "A second lawsuit claims that Kilgore is an 'active political partisan' who uses her office to benefit Republican candidates."What does this have to do with Jerry Kilgore? Maybe nothing, maybe something, we don't know yet. It's certainly possible that there's a connection to the fact that Jerry's mother (Scott County registrar) , father (long-time chairman of the Scott County Republican Party), and extended family essentially run a small-time political machine in that part of Virginia. It's also possible that the many indications of cronyism, corruption, and arrogance displayed by the Kilgore family over the years have nothing - nothing whatsoever - to do with Jerry or his brother Terry.
Well, maybe we're a bit cynical, but let's just say we tend to believe there's something to the sayings "where there's smoke there's fire" and "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." For now, though, we simply hope to find out more from our own investigations and also through tips from helpful readers.

Have you ever heard the term metrosexual? Those people don't appreciate being called gay, but they don't disagree that they are not stereotypical males. So, why can't a person discuss that Republicans have jumped on the catch phrase "girly man" and that it all seems a bit rediculous?
This thread was not intended to make fun of Willie Mae. It began as a look into the suspiciaous events transpiring in Gate City. The fact that someone decided to have fun with it doesn't discredit that there are BIG problems with that election in Gate City. When you have a registrar helping people mark their absentee ballots in unappropriate manners, one can only wonder what all else goes on.
You want to talk about attacking people in the most heinous way. Apparently you haven't seen any of the slanderous propganda this family has been a part of producing. Yeah, they like to hide it behind the PACs and say they aren't responsible, but everybody knows where that stuff comes from. Therefore, our light mockery is nothing compared to the heinous attacks we know the Kilgores will be participating in this year as many other times.
I don't know Lowell or Tabitha, I only know what I've been told about them, and it wasn't right for me to attack like that.
It's a little disingenuous to accuse me of "ad hominem" since that's what this entire blog is. And I'm sure Tim Kaine wouldn't approve, as mentioned up there.
Anyway, try to remember you're attacking real people in the most heinous way on this blog. I'll try to remember the same thing.
And I don't know who "Addison" is, sorry for the confusion. That's also my nickname.
Any comment made by the person who runs SST will immediately be posted there. Since I am the only person with access to post there, it should alleviate the confusion.
Hmm...I guess you can google someone and learn a lot about them, eh? Well, I have been looking for info on "Addison" and I all I keep finding is this:
"Someone too chicken to attach his or her name to their beliefs. Generally because they are not really sincere."
Note: I made that up, its not really on Google.
Most of the Kilgore's are in some type of public service. That is how they create jobs . . . for themselves.
I knew they had a half brother, and that explains why the half brother looks like them to some degree. I don't think I have ever even heard him speak a word any time I ever met him.
And Jason, I'm suprised you don't remember that big economic project they had a few years ago. They widened that entrance to Kingsport so that people to get to their jobs, shopping, and doctors in Tennessee easier! :-P
However, ethics and character are learned behaviours, so that might explain why election fraud and wire tapping run in the family. They also practically stole the "family farm" Jerry likes to talk about growing up on. Glad they have family values . . .
PS- I'm using Ms. Kilgore as my new computer wallpaper!
I'm sure Tim Kaine would not endorse this nonsense. Of course, Kaine has some modicum of class, and this blog entry is a disgrace to the candidate you claim to support.
It's no wonder the Democratic Party in Virginia is being consigned to the dustbin of history. You waste time mocking the way a candidate talks or the way his mother looks.
You should be embarrassed.
