Of course you are right. Webb is 100% wrong on the issue as he is on all things Iraq. But couldn’t we put someone better than Miss Graham on. I mean I’m used to the men being on our side and the metro sexuals being Democrats. Graham sounded like a hysterical woman (as usual). Isn’t anyone better than Graham willing to come out and defend the Presidents efforts to protect our nation?
Again, Jim Webb shows his uncontrollable anger on National TV and embarrasses VA....
We need to dump this clown.....
Good analysis. No, I lived in Prince William County. I know about the People’s Republics of Arlington and Alexandria. I moved to MD in 96, and that state was too much. Now I am back in Georgia where politics is good.
The demographics have changed dramatically in Northern Virginia since you lived here. It is not the same place.
—Virginia is tilting to the left, led by the Peoples’ Republic of Northern Virginia.—
Northern Virginia should be ceded to the District of Columbia.
I still have a lot of friends there, and visit in Fairfax Co. Is it that more Hispanics have moved in to Arlington?

Here is how Webb’s Born Fighting PAC spins it...in an email they just sent out...
Dear Friend,
Click here to watch Jim Webb’s appearance on Meet the Press.
Yesterday, Senator Jim Webb appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press. Jim debated Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on the war in Iraq.
If you were unable to watch on Sunday, you can read the transcript and watch the entire segment on the Meet the Press website.
Following is an excerpt from the show:
SEN. WEBB: No, I don’t think that there is a war, to start off with. I think that this has been a botched occupation. It’s been going on for four years after the purely military part of it was done. This administration has failed in terms of bringing the right diplomatic formula to the table. We — all of the things that people like myself were predicting would happen if we went into Iraq are the — exactly the sorts of things that the president and the small group of people who have sort of rallied around him are saying will happen if we leave. We were saying that Iran would be empowered, we were saying that international terrorism would be empowered, we were saying that the reputation of the United States would be diminished around the world, and we were saying the region would become more unstable. So we’ve reached the point, and I see, with what Senator Warner and Senator Lugar have introduced, that there’s a good, strong feeling among the Republicans as well, we’ve reached the point where we have to come together as a Congress and attempt to bring some order into this.
MR. RUSSERT: Are you trying to wrest control of the war from the President, in effect, along with the Republicans?
SEN. WEBB: No. I, I think that any administrative discretion, any executive power, has its limits. And the Congress has the authority, not only to appropriate, but to put conditions on, for instance, how our troops are being used. You can go back, for instance, on the — if you want to look at the amendment that I offered, which Senator Graham and other opposed even though we got 56 votes, the, the provision goes back to something that the Congress did when Harry Truman was president when they were sending troops to Korea who had not been trained and the Congress stepped in and said you can’t send anybody overseas until they’ve been in the military for 120 days. We’re trying to do this on the other end. Four years into a war you have to be able to put some rational limits on how our troops are being used. We’ve got soldiers and Marines right now who are spending more time in Iraq than they are in the states, and the executive branch isn’t speaking up. The Congress has the constitutional power to do so, and that’s what we’re trying to do.

OUCH..........
Good one!
Many are from California, naturally. Anyway, there are literally hundreds of new companies. One new person profiled was on a beach in Malibu one year ago and thought Fairfax would be a great place to start a company. Today, there are over 100 employees in his business, etc.
Senators polling troops to see if they want to come home. What crap. Democrats can never be allowed to run wars and that is it.
Randy Forbes would be a great senator. Joann Davis from Williamsburg would have been good, but she is not doing well healthwise. Eric Cantor from Richmond is another good one.
Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) 
"We need to cut and run from Iraq immediately! Screw a stable Iraq -- whatever happens, happens. We are OFFENDING islam by fighting terrorists!"
Senator Alex Sanders (D-SC) 
"You tell 'em, Jim! I voted to pardon Saddam Hussien this week and impeach Bush for war crimes. Thank GOD Lindsey Graham hadn't won or we'd still be killing terrorists now! I LOVE all them "true conservatives" who voted for me! Bwahahaha!!"
4 out of 5 Terrorists agree:
Vote DEMOCRAT in South Carolina if your guy doesn't win the primary!
