Do state Republicans a favor: Vote Democratic
Republicans--spare the purge and spoil the party
Date published: 11/15/2008 By Paul Akers JOHN McCAIN is the best Under Staircase Wit, file my non-response to an affable Democrat who passed along Internet detractions of McCain by one of the pilot's military contemporaries. I wish I had replied, "Before this campaign is over, I expect to hear that McCain stole rice from his fellow POWs and Obama associated with a Pentagon bomber." But once you get past the best, there are the rest, and, with some exceptions-- Heading any list of GOP lemons is, of course, George W. Bush, whose fealty to megabusiness is creating before our unbelieving eyes what FDR never dared: the rapid socialization of U.S. finance and industry. And let's not speak of the Argentina-class hyperinflation waiting just offstage. But I'll leave the national scene to the punditry tribe's big chiefs. Let me talk about Republicans closer to home. The last notable achievement of the GOP-run House of Delegates occurred in 2004 when 17 Republicans broke ranks to support a tax increase to boost education, health, and other neglected state obligations. This treason against right-wing orthodoxy is why Virginia is not currently known as Mississippi But With Smaller Cockroaches. Otherwise, state and local Republicans in recent times have distinguished themselves by (a) kicking homosexuals in the private parts, (b) aspiring to execute more criminals, (c) kicking Hispanics in the private parts, and (d) leaving aside a Rube Goldberg funding mechanism for transportation that fell to pieces on its first road test, confounding public improvements. Meanwhile, to quote Hank Junior, the highway still ain't paved. suburban shift

you will note that nearly all Counties and Cities with the
exception of Fairfax, Fairfax City, Arlington and Alexandria
voted republican.
We just need to ask them to join Maryland and VA will be just
fine.

The Virginia Republican Party needs to look inwardly & refine the mechanics of how to accomplish its conservative ideals. Along with putting up persons who support rule of law, individual self reliance, less government & life itself, Virginia Republicans need to find willing candidates who can communicate these messages to voters. When the arrogance that the Dems are now feeling & showing is followed by stumbles and inaction (& it will happen to a party, it always does), then the Republicans will be back.
