2012—This is a SWVA forum—I will compare Virginia’s record of prosperity, progress, Being voted the most business-friendly state, maintaining a AAA rating in this economy and being voted the Best-Managed State again this year against any state in this Union—-
Yet you know little to nothing about either candidate, claim to have the interest of this Nation at heart, and then support the GOP candidate and post any link or half-truth to bash the Dem. Candidate.  All this with the record this State has achieved during 8 years Dem Govenors—
That in itself tells your true reason for being on this forum and to whom you have sold your soul and moral values—

I was born in Virginia, I grew up in Virginia, I work and live in Virginia, I love Virginia and it’s people—-Can you say the same??

No, I was not born in VA.  One of the things that nakes our nation great, is our freeedom of movement.  People can develop an attachment to their adopted state.

Did you express the same reservations when Terry McAuliffe (from NY), ran for the VA Dem primary, when Hillary moved to NY. just to run for the senate, or going back to when Rockefeller moved to WV, to run for office?

We are all Americans regardless of where we came from.

True, but I CAN VOTE IN VIRGINIA—-If YOU CANNOT, then your opinion of our State leadership means Diddly-Squat to the People of Virginia—-If you do not live in Virginia, who are you to try and tell the PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA how to VOTE for OUR CHOICE of Leader of VIRGINIA?? Keep your biased political paid-for BS to where YOUR vote counts—-

Do you see Terry McAuliffe on the ticket? Deeds.  And no, I do not vote in NY or WV—That is up to the people of those states—

By the way, you said “We are all Americans regardless of where we come from”—Could you please explain that to the ‘birthers’ ‘truthters’ and ‘haters’ who seem to make up a large MAJORITY of the members of the Party you seem to be so devoted to—Your GOP

The “truthers” believed Bush coordinated & ordered the 9/11 attacks on NY & DC, they are a crazy group.  The communist & black nationalist, Van Jones, that Obama appointed Green czar was one of those “truthers”.  I am going out on a limb here, but I believe he was on the nutty left.

Haters?  Look at both ideologies and you find plenty.  Neither party has that market cornered.

Birthers are a group on the right that question whether Obama was born in the US.

I am quite familiar with all that, 2012—Are you familiar with ‘Teabaggers’ and the Shouters at Town Halls??  I find them all, including the group listed above, divisive, disillusioned and disgusting—No difference which Party affiliation—Yet you only mention ‘the nutty left’(Again, your Bias)—-You call only the truthers(who’s theory of 9-11 is only 1 of many of their conspiracy theories)‘a crazy group’—Do you think the ‘Birthers’ are more sane? Even Hillary and the Left would have questioned this before or during the Primaries if it had one iota of being a possibility—-
The ‘haters’ have been with us for years, but never more than now—Their fires are stoked daily by talk radio and their hate is passed to their children like a family tradition—

I believe we both know what group encouraged the ‘TownHall Shouters’—-To shout down others so No one can ask questions or get honest answers is Anti-Democracy and infringes on the Rights of All—

MIHOP or LIHOP….that is the true question.

MIHOP or LIHOP….that is the true question.

Both Suggest a Theory of Government Conspiracy—Both accept the Conspiracy By Our Own Government must be true But to what Degree—The true question is do you believe that thousands of people involved in many thousands of hours of investigation, huge amount of planning involved, and hundreds of Departments of Government Agencies could keep that large a secret?

And, 8 years later, not one ounce of evidence or one document or one snitch amongst many thousands of people that immense planning and co-operation would have taken has come forward?

New World Order??

I won’t discuss the teabagging term.  It is a perjorative not worth discussing.  It does highlight the attempts by the left to marginalize citizens voices by dismissing their legitimate conerns for their country.

It centered on the health care debate & overall direction of the country.

Many people are concerned when a salesperson comes to sell them a health care plan that he refuses to enroll himself or his family in.

Why do you suppose these Conrgressional health care architects are not providing this great plan for themselves?

Ask yourself the question?

The same reason Congress doesn’t depend on Medicare, Social Security, or true earned pensions like normal American Workers—-But that doesn’t make the policies evil or something to be feared by the average working American or the Elderly—

I am tired of the use of fear and scare tactics—-The elderly members of our Greatest Generation deserved more respect than the use of these tactics after all they have given to this Country—

These are the same BS tactics used by the GOP to fight Social Security and Medicare years ago—

I noticed you avoided talking about the TownHall Shouters. Was there a reason for that?? Does the word incitement ring a bell??

Try a little honesty with yourself, 2012—-It’s good for the Soul—
