George W. Bush won Virginia because he won Virginia ~ we can make up all of the reasons we want, which human beings are very good at. :)
Swift Boat vets. The most effective use of a political donations ever.
That is the entire thrust of the comments I made during the last months about the effect of the Swiftees. They didn't have any effect of getting people to vote for Bush, they simply knocked "hero sKerry" off that phony pedestal that the Old Media had placed him atop. That allowed people to start really looking at the things he was saying, and that was not what they wished to have in a president.
If it were not for the Swiftees, sKerry would be president come Jan.
Most Americans today don’t recognize a communist because they are just the far left. John Faux Kerry is from a communist family, received a communist education, was a communist before going to Viet Nam, and has supported communist causes ever since he returned. The PC term for communist today is an internationalist. Click here for the internationalist website. Warning, it is a very dark and scary place and they are coming to a city near you.
True, but Virginia is not California. We don't have Hollyweird and the City by the Gays...
Where California gets progressively more liberal, Virginia has been getting progressively more Republican (we've always been conservative).
Don't get me wrong, we are having to fight harder due to the influence from Northern Virginia (and points beyond). But Virginia is ~for now at least~ a solidly Republican state.
Tell me about it........the influence is starting to show on the Eastern Shore.....I'm still scratching my head over North Hampton County going for Kerry.
Ping!
The Democratic Party is still the government party, so the further awayfrom DC the commute grows, the larger the area that will vote blue.
Kerry's loss is a veteran's win. Thanks for the ping, Tonk!
Hollyweird and San Fran didn't grow bigger. What tipped the balance was a change in demographics in southern California. Virginians can remain as conservative as always, but if enough bureaucrats move into northern VA, it can change the situation. Our conservatives didn't move away from the OC and San Diego, they just got swamped.
Agreed. And you can see that already in the way the vote in local and congressional elecitons. That's why the keep returning a wife-beating anti-semite to congress.
The Swifties ads were awesome, but there were many other reasons Kerry lost. 1) He was a liberal from MA. 2) He is a parasite, living on someone else's money all his life. 3) He has the personality of a slug. 4) He persisted in trying to portray himself as a real man and looked stupid doing it. 5) The media tried to help him so blatantly that it offended American's sense of fair play. 6) Hellery and Billy Jeff didn't want him to win and sent their myrmidons into his campaign to assure that result.
