No ethics, please. We’re Democrats.

The “rottenness” must be the kinds of officials that VA chooses with regularity. The hapless GOP is still paying for the “macaca” moment.

One would think voters would be smart enough to realize what the dems are up to.

What is the key word above? Pretty obvious

I didn’t know any part of VA is still conservative. Glad to hear it is. Are you west of Culpeper?

McAuliffe has left a trail of corruption slime wherever he has been. Where did the voters of Virginia get the idea that he would be different this time?

"I didn’t know any part of VA is still conservative. Glad to hear it is. Are you west of Culpeper?"

Culpeper is in northern VA, which is heavily rat infested. We're far to the south, in Campbell County.

Most of Virginia went red in 2012, but the demographics are killing us....the blacks in Hampton Roads (the east coastal area), and the continuing migration of liberals from the Northeast. The central counties that voted for Obama have a high black population. Liberal Charlottesville is in Albemarle Co.

Thanks SeekAndFind.
Per a report in the Washington Post, Governor Terry McAuliffe’s chief of staff, Paul Reagan... "left a voice-mail message for a Democrat who was on the verge of quitting the General Assembly . . . saying that the senator's daughter might get a top state job if he stayed to support the governor's push to expand Medicaid." Initially, McAuliffe's spokesman denied the charge. But, having been "read a transcript of Reagan's message," the point was swiftly conceded. Conveniently enough, federal investigators were already on the scene in Richmond, the Democratic party having previously accused Republicans of playing a similar game.
Just in case everyone forgot, I want to make sure to mention the buzzwords neoconservative, uniparty, Chris Christy, George Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Rommney.

Virginia Assembly is heavily conservative. Probably one of the most in the country.

The Obama-Holder tagteam was replicated in Virginia by design with McAuliffe and the new Dem Attorney General—including vote fraud out the wazoo.
