Retiring Virginia Sen. Webb: Healthcare bill 'great regret'
Examiner ^

Posted on 08/20/2012 3:51:35 PM PDT by Perdogg

Retiring Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., said Monday charged that President Obama's handling of the sweeping healthcare overhaul unnecessarily caused a great deal of fear in the country.

The Virginia Democrat, in a wide-ranging interview on MSNBC's "Daily Rundown," told host Chuck Todd that it was his "great regret" that the Obama administration scared Americans with a large bill that lacked direction.

The jackass knew this going in, but unfortunately loyalty to the Left and Socialism is more important than loyalty to the Country and Constitution.

Makes me want to wipe my ass with the certificate for my first Navy Achievement Medal, which has his signature.
What a loser.

Jim Webb retiring??

Where has the time gone? Seems like just yesterday we were talking about the disgusting, incestuous porn he’d written.

“I said that directly to the president about two weeks ago: How in the name of the Lord can the Democratic Party, the party of Andrew Jackson, only be getting 28 percent of the white male working class vote?” Webb said.


It shocks me that 28% of white men vote for Dems. That’s disgusting. Dems have made perfectly clear that they HATE white men. They have whipped up black racist mobs to attack, beat and murder white men. They have designed diversity studies that debase, scapegoat and inspire pure hatred and revenge for demon white men. Insane.

You were not a good Marine, you were a worse Sec. of the Navy, and you were a failure as a Senator.

Jim Webb might be a terrible senator and a horse's ass to boot, but he was one of the finest small-unit combat leaders of the Vietnam War. In his four-year post-Annapolis career, Webb was awarded the Navy Cross, the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars (with Combat "V") and two Purple Hearts - and that from the medal-stingy Marine Corps. I have no disagreement with the rest of your rant, but I will not let that false charge go unchallenged.

Sure we was a fine Marine combat leader, but Jim Webb forgot the most important attributes needed to serve the people of Virginia and America, namely honor, courage, discipline, and honesty. He is completely devoid of these qualities today.

Too Late Jerk.

And, BTW, a lot of murderers say the same thing about “regret”.

And wasn’t VA the same state that didn’t put Ollie North in the Senate? Webb is no North.

How in the name of the Lord can the Democratic Party, the party of Andrew Jackson, only be getting 28 percent of the white male working class vote?"

Because they've been the declared enemy of the left for decades, perhaps?

Because the Democratic Party has codified into law open and blatant discrimination against them? Because nearly everything emanating from Hollywood nowadays portrays them as weak, character-flawed, or downright evil?

Most white males work in the private sector now, largely because they have to. Affirmative action dictates that they need not apply for government jobs, it has been a waste of time for decades. So, now we have an election in which the clear divide is between the public sector and the private sector. If white males vote their wallet issues, they will vote Republican. I'm surprised 28% will still vote for their own subjugation. I'll bet more than half of those are under 25.
