The host of Fox Business “Follow the Money,” program and one of the five co-hosts of the Fox News Channel's program “The Five” spoke to Guns & Patriots Feb. 3 about his new love of shooting. “For me there always was a stigma attached to hand guns,” said Eric Bolling, the former commodities trader, who was once signed to a minor league baseball in the Pittsburgh Pirates system. “Everyone had it. My wife had it. My son had it,” he said. But, when he and his family actually started firing handguns, they learned why so many Americans enjoy guns. “We...

CLICK THE PICTURE Sarah Palin lets loose in this interview. Calls herself an Independent, too. :)

Ending months of speculation, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said Thursday that he will run for governor in 2013. The decision — unveiled in an email to employees of his office and confirmed by top deputies — sets up a potential contested GOP gubernatorial primary battle with Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, who stepped aside and ran for a second term in 2009 to make way for then-Attorney General Bob McDonnell's successful run for governor. "Although I originally expected to serve as attorney general for another term, my job is that of public servant, and I feel that two years from...

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) plans to join Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney at an event in Virginia next week, according to the governor's office. Virginia's Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling will also attend what the governor's weekly schedule called a "grassroots event" at the Fairfax County Republican Committee Headquarters in Northern Virginia. Romney's campaign will swing through Virginia next week, starting with a fundraising event in McLean on Tuesday evening. Virginia is a likely swing state in 2012. Bolling has already indicated his support of Romney, but McDonnell said earlier this week that he won't endorse a Republican candidate until...

As the Occupy Wall Street protests grow and their demands slowly start to solidify, much of their anti-corporate rhetoric is hitting a sour note with conservatives. On tonight’s Follow the Money, host Eric Bolling and guest Ann Coulter discussed the danger of similar “mob uprisings” and the apparent hypocrisy of some of its celebrity supporters, including Roseanne Barr and Michael Moore. RELATED: Bill O’Reilly And Sean Hannity Send Film Crews To Occupy Wall Street Protests To Coulter, the protests on Wall Street were far too familiar: “all of those quotes,” she told Bolling, referring to

Last week, Governor Mitt Romney named me Chairman of his presidential campaign in Virginia. I served as Chairman of Governor Romney’s presidential campaign in 2008, and I am honored that he asked me to help lead his campaign in Virginia again this year. Together with co-chairs Del. Barbara Comstock and Del. Chris Peace, we will be responsible for putting together Governor Romney’s grassroots organization in Virginia. Virginia is a crucial swing state in the general election, but we have significant work to do to win the March 6th Virginia primary and begin to build the infrastructure that will be necessary...

Hey, yesterday morning, Oct.28 2010, at the end of the program, Eric Bolling had a segment where he exposed the expense accounts of the congress critters. He stated that they may spend, ANYWAY THEY WANT TO from $1.4 million to $4 million A PIECE!!! I cannot find proof of this anywhere. I deleted the show, and I can not find mention of this or video of Bolling saying this, ANYWHERE! I want to publisize this. Can anyone help me? Thanks so much.

Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling sent a strongly worded letter to Sens. Jim Webb and Mark Warner Monday expressing outrage over special concessions given to certain states to obtain support for federal health care legislation from their Senators and asking them to oppose this legislation, which Bolling called “misguided.” “As you know, one of our major concerns with this legislation is the potential impact it could have on the cost of Medicaid for Virginia’s state government,” wrote Bolling. “Many reports have suggested that this legislation could result in much higher Medicaid costs for state governments across the nation, costs that state...

We knew it was going to be a bad election night for the Democrats when former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe announced on NBC's "Today" program that "the results of these elections tend to be overread." Certainly that was not the prevailing opinion in Democratic circles in 2008, when giddiness over Barack Obama's election reached manic proportions. Virginia, which voted Democratic for president for the first time since 1964, was singled out as an indication of the shape of things to come. In 2008, Mr. Plouffe bragged that only Mr. Obama could make Virginia competitive, and when he won the...

Pajamas Media is reporting the first exit poll data out of New Jersey and Virginia: First exit polls from Virginia: McDonnell 54.5, Deeds 45. And from New Jersey: Corzine 47, Christie: 47 with third-party candidate Daggett "barely registering."If Daggett is "barely registering, it should help Chris Christie.

American voters have delivered a sharp rebuke to Barack Obama by rejecting Democratic candidates in Virginia, the swing state that helped deliver him the White House almost exactly a year ago. Bob McDonnell, the Republican candidate, overwhelmed his Democratic opponent Creigh Deeds, for whom Mr Obama had campaigned, to become Virginia governor. Republicans also won the races in Virginia for lieutenant governor and attorney general.

Washington (CNN) – President Obama is not planning to watch Tuesday nights election returns, Obama aides Robert Gibbs and David Axelrod tell CNN. Obama is more likely to watch Tuesday night's Chicago Bulls game than any political coverage, according to Axelrod. The president's senior staff have also decided not to hold a watch party to keep an eye on election returns as they come in.

With 2/3 of the ballots counted in Virginia, McDonnell (R) is pounding Deeds (D) 61%-39%. The last Rasmussen poll had McDonnell ahead 54%-41%. There's a big difference between a 22% win and a 13% win. As I suspected would be the case, it appears the GOP, especially conservatives are HIGHLY motivated, while the democrats are not.
