They just don't get it...

[ConservativeNewYorker]

Im beginning to think when they get to Washington, they either have their brains or ba**s removed.

[Mamzelle]

It would be nice to have the STATE mentioned in the title, maybe in parentheses? Not everyone knows who Wittman is just from a headline.

[American Constitutionalist]

The blind leading the blind and fall into the ditch.

[Mamzelle]

And, is Wittman a D or an R?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Virginia.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Republican.

[fieldmarshaldj]

*VA ping*

[rabscuttle385]

Republican or just plain RINO?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Fairly good voting record, he’s not been in Congress long, just 2 years, replacing the late Jo Ann Davis.

...the hometown treatment from TEA Party members.

Is TEA an acronym?

Thoroughly Enraged Activists?

[2ndDivisionVet]

Taxed Enough Already?

[abigailsmybaby]

Taxed Enough Already is what it started as.

[Plutarch]

Taxed Enough Already?

That sounds right.

"I have never seen folks so upset," Wittman responded.

"The documentation of Obama's birthplace that has been presented to the public is valid, though" Wittman responded.

Is it any wonder why they're upset? MORON.

I don’t see why he should care what you guys think. Who cares if he’s s****ing on the constitution? It’s not like he’ll lose votes for it.

I’d wager a lot that most “birthers” will vote for him (or in fact any anti-constitution Republican) in ‘10 simply because he’s not a Democrat. Cue all the “lesser of two evils” and “wasting your vote” rationalisations ...

Whittman has his problems, but Catherine Crabill is not exactly the most stable person to challenge him.

Here's a Crabill quote from The Washington Times, April 1995:

Citizen militia groups in Montana, Florida and New Mexico say they condemn the bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City and charge that the federal government, not anyone in their movement, was likely responsible.

“If any militia group is truly responsible for the murderous bombing in Oklahoma City, then I say, ‘Hangin’s too good for ‘em,’ ” said Catherine Crabill of Aragon, N.M., who belongs to a group called New Mexico Citizens Action Association.

But Mrs. Crabill said it’s her belief “this heinous act of violence was the work of our government,” which will “use it as an excuse to aggressively attack the growing militia movement across the country.”

She has not (and I believe has said she will not) retracted that statement.

It seems to me, the operations have to be performed before big money will pay for their campaigns.
