Kerry Dougherty thinks you are a terminal disease.
She was quoting Larry Saboto, but she apparently agrees. Here’s Kerry on the major candidates. One candidate was dishonest. The other hated women. It's a wonder anyone went to the polls. "These two candidates are among the worst I've ever seen," declared the University of Virginia's Larry Sabato during an election eve appearance on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show." "Virginians have a choice between a far-right-wing Tea Party social conservative and a Democrat who's been guilty of sleazy business deals and questionable fundraising," Sabato sighed. "I've never seen unfavorable ratings this high for both of the major-party candidates," he added, as a graphic flashed on the screen showing that only 24 percent of Virginia voters had a favorable impression of the Democrat and only 29 percent liked the Republican. Virginia's premier pundit said the situation was so dire this year, "I had one person tell me it was like a choice between a heart attack and cancer." Terminal diseases. That sums it up nicely. Any wonder so many held their noses Tuesday as they picked the lesser of two little men? "I may not vote; I'm serious," whispered one of my yoga pals from her mat early Tuesday. "I hate them both. Really hate them." By late afternoon, Twitter was on fire with posts from disgruntled Virginia voters. "Would rather have a crook than a crazy, which is why this Republican just voted for McAuliffe for Governor," one person tweeted. "Dear ladies in Va.," tweeted another. "Plz vote with your brain and not fall for the same old uterus crap. You are more intelligent than that!" So let’s ignore for a second what Kerry thinks about McAuliffe, the guy who made $18 million in Global Crossings stock sales shortly before the company declared bankruptcy and threw about 10,000 people out of work.
Here’s what she thinks about you Tea Party people. You’re “far right” kooks who hate women. That would be a surprise to the young girls, mothers pushing their strollers, businessmen and retirees, black and white at the first Tea Party rally I attended in Virginia Beach several years ago. You Tea Partyers are a terminal disease to electoral politics in the Old Dominion.
Oh, and you’re racist bigots who hate black people and if you’re black you are a self-hating black. You’re a homophobic knuckle dragger who want to deny people their rights. You’re gun toting rednecks who believe that a women’s place is barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. And you listen to Rush Limbaugh and watch FOX News, you stupid racists.
Don’t try to deny it; it’s true what they say about your because you can read all about it in the Virginian Pilot.
Obviously, we need a better class of voters in this country.
The ones that now go to the polls are either totally lacking in critical thinking, or if they do exercise that degree of mental acuity, are clearly in the minority.
What does it take to convert that minority into a majority? A first, and obvious, conclusion would be to declare a republic that accepts only those of critical thinking capabilities as citizens, and requires as criteria to become a citizen, the demonstration of functioning rational thought.
Secession is sounding better and better.
KD is bird cage liner and so is the rag she writes for...
How is it, in the journolist world, someone with an opinion can get a job getting for stating that opinion and expect anyone to give a sh!t......?
Sabato and Dougherty are just spouting the same lines that the Alinskyites and The WH are telling them to. It takes no brains to parrot what someone tells you to. If there were a real brain intheir skulls and they were capable of critical thinking and actually took the time to attend a real Tea Party they’d see that they are just people tired of the new progressive movement that us working fast and furious to remove constitutional freedoms and install a new totalitarian / socialist type government that’s going to put elites in power and create a new servant class. The Tea Party is just sounding the warning bells. They’re the idiots for not listening to them.
I really don’t’ favor people insulting each other.
I didn't, my wife didn't but enough trough sippers did to obscure the truth.
