Well, sh!t........
Oh, you mean the “govt suit down” of 17%....?
With most of it being National Parks and Monuments on Obozo’s orders?
The “shut down” that was blamed on the sit-on-their-ass Republicans?
That shut down?
Amen....
We start secession moves down here in Hamp Rds soon?
If they breathed they cheated.
The will become pandemic in the 2016 election, and probably the 2014.
What a shock, another close recount that we lose!
Immigrants vote two to one Democrat.
Obenshein was ahead on election night. Then, miracle of miracles, a whole slew of previously uncounted votes were found in Jim Moran’s District. The rest, as they say, is histoire.
The trumped up FBI investigation hurt him.
Also the legal immigrants in nova.
I'm all for that! We won independence at Yorktown once already... no reason at some time in future it can't be done again. This time, FRIENDLY help will be coming from Gloucester!
Meh, does this mean we need to contact the French?
I am SO sick of No VA screwing the rest of us....done!
McAwful is a classic sleeze ball product of that region and does NOT represent most of the state...I don’t give a damn that he won...
I spit in his general direction....Hold Fast, Assembly!
This is why RINO’s lose; they surrender when the Left never will.
Expect one of the first things to now happen is for a homo to sue over the state constitutional marriage amendment, and McAwful and Herring will refuse to defend the Amendment - Californian-style. The sodomites will then win by default.
