I started this blog to talk about local politics, specifically Norfolk politics. It is impossible
to talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so you'll also find some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820

That underdog guy? Losing is a positive, I guess.
Talks about a Deeds tax cut he can’t pay for while forgetting his willingness to raise taxes in his first year as Governor.
Give him points for gall
Bob McDonald? Who’s that?
So, we want to go back to a Mark Warner economy – you mean the one that had the largest tax increase in Virginia history imposed on Virginia families and saw government spending skyrocket?
I know when unemployment was super low, when the Virginia economy was expanding at more than 3% in real dollars term, when wages were increasing, when asset prices were increasing at double digit rates. OH the humanity! It was awful, just awful! Who wants to go back to that? =)
I love that the three doucheketeers were the first to weigh in on this, all right in a row.
Man, wish I could go to happy hour with you guys sometime – we can all bring our laptops, pull up some Dem blogs and post hilarious and brilliant comments. It’ll be awesome. Maybe we can even PODCAST it! AWWWESOME
I recall the ads from Warner where the announcer actually said, “…He’s a good ol’ boy from Nova-ville…”
At the time I thought, “How patronizing and insulting to Virginians…Warner must think we are a bunch of hay-seed idiots, here in Virginia.”
About a week later, while I was out at the Pork festival or the Peanut festival, or similar gathering of the bubbas, I stopped a group of five farmers who were all wearing those orange, “Sportsmen for Warner” stickers. I laughed and said, “You must be joking with those stickers…Warner doesn’t even know which end of the gun goes, bang.”
The men all professed to be true supporters, then one fellow said, “I heard he is a good ol’ boy, from Novaville” parroting the exact hook phrase from the ads.
These radio ads are all insulting and patronizing, but until we get a better informed voter, we should expect more ads of chirpy professional moms providing thoughtful political insights to their usually befuddled husband, followed by the omnipresent, “…hmmmm, that’s why I will be supporting Creigh Deeds…” (or fill in who you like).
Never mind this ad or any ideas about reviving Virginia’s economy, or enhancing our liberty, I am supporting Creigh Deeds because I heard that he is a good ol’ boy from Bath-ville and that is good enuf fo Vuhginya.
It’s funny. Deeds won’t cut taxes like Bush did, and then yes he will, and tax cuts take money from education, except his won’t, but everyone else’s will, and he’s not like them, but he is, but not really.
Wonderful ad
