When the Virginia Governor, Bob McDonnell was elected this past November, many of my neighbors kept telling me that I was dead wrong about him. He had changed his viewpoints and his political positions and was now a very moderate Republican. I scoffed.
Turns out the oldvirginian was more correct than my neighbors. Bob’s recent declaration for April being the month to celebrate the Confederacy showed a crack in his phony facade. The fact that it took a huge outcry from folks all over the state and the nation, to make this man change that proclamation to address the REAL damn reason for the south’s seccession, SLAVERY. Jeez Louise, can’t these bone headed Republican Conservatives EVER get anything right.
George Allen, the biggest pissant to have ever held elected office in the State of Virginia was one of the crappiest governors we ever had. This cretinous slug showed his racism and bigotry every time someone walked into his GOVERNOR’s office. Confederate Flags hung along side NOOSES. Yep, that’s right our old Georgie Allen was a true to the bone bigot and a racist. It finally came out for all to see during his run for re-election to the Senate when he referred to a young man of India heritage, but a born in the USA American, a MACACA. Allen tried to tap dance around it, but the cat was surely out of the bag and the old Dominion folks elected Jim Webb to the Senate.
We have, in this last election cycle, November 2009, taken the State of Virginia backward into the dark reaches of pointyheaded conservatism. WE elected Ken Cuccinnelli as the Attorney General (note I say WE in the literary sense, I never voted for that slime ball bastard), and he has turned out to be, a hard right TEA BAGGER to the nth degree. Issuing a proclamation that government institutions, including universities do not have to adhere to the non-discrimination law for homosexuals.
I thought we had done gone on down that slippery slope with old Kenney Boy, but then he started a stupid lawsuit to against the Federal government on the constitutionality of the health care legislation. Spending taxpayer money that we do not have on a frivilous lawsuit. Tilting at Windmills are we kenny?
Then on the heels of this stupidy we have the “Honorable” Bob McDonnell issuing his little bigoted proclamation only to issue a mea culpa the next day, after a firestorm of indignation sprang up. Imagine the stupidity of anyone not understanding that slavery was the major reason for the War between the States.
McDonnell is finally starting to show the cracks in that phoney facade he wore all through the election campaign. Are all you independents listening out there?
Of course the Democratic Party could have put up someone who wasn’t a dufus to compete against McDonnell.
