"The voters from Northern Virginia are educated enough to understand the comments of those from rural areas versus those made by us who represent Northern Virginia and embrace its diversity," said Sen. Jeannemarie Devolites Davis (R-Fairfax), who is being challenged in the fall by former state Sen. J. Chapman "Chap" Petersen (D-Fairfax).

What an ignorant hussy! She's is essentially saying that rural Virginia (Conservative) Republican voters are too stupid and hickish to understand the issues and that only liberal RINOs from Northern Virginia can lead the Republican way back into power. I've got news for Davis--the Commonwealth does NOT end at Manassas and Fredericksburg, and there are plenty of well-educated patriotic people in Southwest Virginia who subscribe to family values and "get it" when it comes to the terrorist threat to this nation and the consequences of illegal immigration. They are not the "Beverly Hillbillies" and are surprisingly well-informed, courtesy of the internet, satellite TV, and Fox News.

To suggest that good Conservative folks in the rest of the Commonwealth are too dumb to "understand" is the height of arrogance and hypocrisy. She should just join the Democrat Party and take the rest of Northern Virginia (which has become Democratic largely because of an influx of Northeastern Liberal types anyway) with her.

That's the general view of Northern Virginians toward the rest of the state, but I was surprised to see her say it out loud. ;)

[wku man]

A perfect example of traditional (read, conservative) Republicanism vs. today's liberal, country club RINOism. Is there any wonder so many of us are registering as independants and voting for conservatives?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Any reference to Devolites as a "hussy" has nothing whatsoever to do with "rural Virginia" ~ rather, that's the tack the Democrat State Committee is taking to destroy her and her husband, my Representative, Tom Davis.
