If Va. Gov.Ralph Northam does resign and, it looks hopeful as the dirty dems have already deserted him,you can thank the blogosphere closer to home than many of us know.

Rod, I am something of a contrarian on this as much as I would like to see Northam gone because of his support of infanticide. It is a slippery slope when someone is pressured to leave their job because of a yearbook picture over 35 years ago. The Senate Dems tried to destroy Kavanaugh over among other things, comments in his high school yearbook.

No doubt going into the future, people will be targeted for comments they made on social media, including FR. Political Correctness has run amok. Across the political spectrum there are calls for the removal of Northam. Funny that we had Robert Byrd, an admitted Grand Wizard in the KKK, as an icon in the Senate.

Northam's refusal to resign will be a real test for the Dems who must reconcile their sanctimony with reality. IMO they are trying to get rid of him because of the unfavorable light he has brought to their position on abortion. It wouldn't surprise me if the Dems were somehow behind the release of the photo.

Politically, it is better for us that Northam remain in office. I doubt he can remain much longer given the pressure being put on him.

I do not disagree, in general, with your statement; however. the issue with Northam is that he has a “pattern”, beginning at VMI with his “Coonman” nickname, into medical school with his blackface/KKK outfit(s), and into the PRESENT with his racist behavior. If he had “learned” from his experience back in 1984 & led an exemplary life where racism is concerned, he’d get a pass from most people. Instead, he refuses to shake a black Bishop’s hand, he uses the CNN Hoax regarding Charlottesville to throw vile racist ‘bombs’ at Gillespie, the Republicans & Trump, he uses the UGLIEST of racist ads against Gillespie (the pickup truck ad) & he continues to foment racial division & racist dialogue with his tweets/comments against Trump/Republicans, with the pile-on cheerleading of such Dem ‘stars’ as Kamala, Barack, etc.

Now, do the Dems care about the blackface/KKK stuff? No, they do not; however, Northam committed the most egregious “sin” against the one thing that is most sacred in the Dem party ... abortion/baby killing. He blew it with his radio interview - ripped the mask hiding the infanticide abomination right off of what this horror of a law would allow.

People who were horrified by what Northam said made sure that his past came to the surface and the Demon Rats took the bait & jumped on the “he’s a racist” bandwagon to foist Ralphie out of office and change the topic from infanticide. It’s EASY for them to do this because the Lt. Gov. is black, a former PP employee (no loss on the abortion/infanticide front) and even more radically Progressive than Ralph, who had to swing left to get elected. To make it an even sweeter deal for the Demon Rats, the Lt. Gov. can run for re-election whereas a full term governor cannot so Virginia could have a radical Progressive in the Governor’s chair for 7 years.

Northam will resign, I’m almost positive, but at the moment, he gets “nothing” if he does ... all downside for him. I think he’s holding the Dems hostage for more “favorable terms” .... they totally need to get rid of him because of the infanticide issue being brought front & center and it IS going to bleed over into the November elections as a major rallying cry for the pro-lifers & Republicans. Ralph at the moment is the ‘gift that keeps on giving’ to the opposition so he absolutely must be driven out of office.

Note: this is ‘local’ politics for me ... I’m not states away, commenting as an uninvolved observer.

One more thing .... my personal belief is that Northam should be run out of office, not because of the pictures, but because he is morally unfit on the infanticide issue. Period. However, it can’t work that way for the Dems .... thus the reason why they’re jumping on the racist pics bandwagon ... the previous post is why the pics/racist angle is ‘working’. It’s a multi-layer issue and a lot of it depends on which side of politics, morality, etc. you stand. So, now I’m going to quit expounding on this before I totally get bogged down in the word ‘swamp’!!
