LESSON: If you’re in school - high or college - don’t even have your portrait picture in the yearbook. Try to avoid any and all group, club, sports, etc., pictures...in fact, don’t even buy one of the damn things.

They’ve turned those crazy, hazy, days of youth into “fact finding” for a lazy-ass media, used to ruin the lives of their enemies.

Avoid yearbooks at all costs.

Short answer: They didn’t miss it. They spiked it.

What did the party and media know, and when did they know it?

My bet: The reason Northam hasn’t been ridden out of town on a rail yet is that others knew and kept quiet. Northam is using that to get a better bribe.

It is a major failure of GOP operational research. Why couldn’t Gillespie’s team come up with this? It would have turned the election in 2017.

How do you know they didn’t?

The uniparty could give a **** about the letter after the winner’s name as long as the winner toes the uniparty line.

Why didn’t we use our Russian hacking buddies to win the house?

I know Gillespie who was a former RNC head. If he had this photo and refused to use it even after Northam called him a racist, then Gillespie is a fool. Your suggestion that Gillespie wanted to lose doesn’t make sense.

Seriously, how does someone miss something so rudimentary and still hold themselves out to be political professionals? And it isn’t just Gillespie – Northam had three opponents in the Democrat primary, and none of their oppo people caught it, either.

And yet Northam's people got away with running two of the foulest political ads in recent memory:

Dnd this one on TV that's so over the top it's practically satire: (click pic to open YouTube video)

I’ll bet Northam was / is a Margaret Sanger fan, too.

“Coon Man” ? Can’t wait to hear that explanation.

This is what happens when our nation’s entire Fourth Estate has consciously and intentionally abrogated its duty to perform as the people’s advocate in our society


I have thought for many years that having the media covering for your party is not a good thing.

It is like a child that has no boundaries no discipline. The Democrats believe they can do anything because the media will cover for them even when caught. That is until they do something so bad that the media can not cover for them and then they lose it all.

The Republicans are usually more honest not because they want to be but because they understand that they will be called out the second the media discovers something in their closet.

This rapid shift to the left is because the media are not calling them (the Democrats) on their planned murder of babies, or their dream of taxing our economy into Venezuela.

The Democrats are living in a protective bubble created by the media.

They have forgotten the media alone cannot assure victory. You would think they would have learned something from the 2016 election when they were all convinced that Hillary would win (and why not, she had the media, the CIA, the FBI, the DOJ as well as most Republican elites supporting her) but she lost.

Middle America is a sleeping giant right now and the Democrats are using a pointed stick to wake it up.

Yup. This was 35 years ago. Everyone has done something in their past that would not be acceptable today.

Maybe we can go after everyone who ate at a Sambos restaurant.
That would be considered quite racist today.

Check

Which party dredges up stuff (real or otherwise) from a persons past to impact current events?

Both parties do ops research on their opponents. The Dems do a better job.

This guy is the victim of what happens when the non-thinking public holds people to incredible standards.

In VA in the 1980’s this shit was off-color, but not crazy.

Today, it’s insane.

I only hope I live long enough to see these douchey kids seem themselves hoisted on their own social media pertatrds.

There are plenty of reasons to not like this Gov politically. But this is not one of them.

His class mates in med school must have LOVED him. It was his graduating yearbook. You would think that in 2019 some grandkid or something would have looked at his grandad’s medical yearbook and started the ball rolling on social media. Weirdness.

Gillespie is GOP 1.0, he thinks taking the "high road" is a better political strategy.

It’s not the lies the media puts out, that’s the problem.

It’s the truths that they don’t put out, that’s the problem.
