No, it means that Virginia has a lot of government employees and a lot of stupid people, (those categories overlap).
It’s uncool to vote Republican. I have talked to Democrat voters who are pro life and pro second amendment. They kid themselves that their candidate isn’t bad on those issues.
It requires cognitive dissonance to be a Democrat. Apparently, there’s a lot of it going around in America.
And all along I thought it was hip to be square.
It means that the urban “hive people” outvoted, or outfrauded, the rural self-reliant people.
I think gov’t employees is the answer, they don’t feel the pain of Obamacare and they’re self-centered enough to only care about the shutdown. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck so that was a big deal to them even if it was only temporary and they were later reimbursed.
Good post.
One thing that troubles me about the Va race is that McAwful is the perfect stereotype of a dirtbag Joe Isuzu car salesman. Decades of affiliation with the Clinton Crime Family. Recent obvious fraud with the Mississippi car stimulus deal.
Nobody voted for McAwful because “he’s a nice guy”.
They voted for him because they want his “message” or hate ours.
the Fed Govt should be moved to the north east and allow native VA and those who will live there all their life to decide on how their state should be.
Not certain workers who come in and vote for a handful of years and then leave.
Pro life and pro gun Dems are Reagan blue collar Dems. GOP lost them when they advocated North American Union, NAFTA, WTO, etc etc etc. Globalism is good for corporate America (they can buy anything and hire anyone from overseas because of cost) but will support outlawing Americans to do the same for perscription drugs (ala buying perscription drugs from Canada due to lower cost). The final nail in the coffin is bailout for Wall Street bankers because they are too big to fail, and the rest of America is too small to save. Until Buchanan American First take hold of GOP, the blue collar Dems will vote Dem as the lesser of two persoanl economic evils.
