Gerry Connolly is serving is his second term in Congress after previously serving in local government for sixteen years.

A career politician who needs to go. Saw him spouting off in the committee hearing on Benghazi and he was insufferable.

And Congressjerks are “unqualified” to tell the military how to fight a war but they do it every time. Nobody ever died with a veteran representing them in Congress. Thousands of military have been killed because Congress sets the rules on how a war is to be fought. Stuff it Connolly.

So basically, veterans haven’t spent enough time greasing palms and “servicing” the right financial backers?

Wow, this one is a real winner.

Hey Gerry ? just where in the US Constitution does it say that vets are not qualified to serve in Congress ?

Ok folks ? how many of the Democrats in Congress past or present served in the Military ?

Hey Gerry ? J.F.K. served in WWII and was a Senator...

Really? How long has it been since anyone has seen hide nor hair of Jesse Jackson JR.? What’s his excuse? I have no problem with a military person in Congress because I know no matter where they are they are still serving our country, uhh...unlike Jesse Jackson Jr.

The Colonel’s reply cut the politician to shreds.

I’m from VA so I paid attention to Connolly .... Jesse, Jr., not so much.

This scumbag had a close race the last couple of times but, sadly, his district has been reconfigured to make it significantly safer for him and far more difficult for any Republican challenger.

Assuming that this story gets zero play in the media, which it won’t, and assuming that the typical Connolly voter agrees with him anyway, which they do, he can probably stay in Congress as long as he wants.

This tool’s DC Office Phone: 202 225-1492. Be nice but firm when you tell his staff that he’s been around too long.

I expect to see him vigorously campaign against Senator Kerry.

Connolly is a despicable libtard career bureaucrat. I had to deal with him a few times when I lived in NoVA. He never met a matter so small that he didn't want to regulate it, sort of like a giant HOA Coordinator.

Unfortunately in addition to his standard Dem parasite base he has a huge number of Good 'ol Boy supporters in NoVA that will vote for him through thick and thin. I knew a bunch of otherwise conservative guys that just love Connolly because he found money for their pet sports park or service project or whatnot.

Time to show this Donkey the door and boot him back to the sewer he came from. Of all the unmitigated gall! A citizen-soldier is TWICE a citizen, you imbecile. [I apologize to any imbeciles, other than Congressman Connolly, whom I may have offended.]
