they are effective as a minority party because Republicans cave so easy.

I heard Cuch give a speech at the Bristol Nascar race.
Thought he did a great job.

Cuch is a good, decent man and would have been great for VA. Now we’re going to have to suffer through four years of sleaze with McAwful. Thankfully, there’s a one-term limit in VA.

And, thankfully, the General Assembly remains largely conservative/Republican.

After 35 years as a public servant, as Mayor of Alexandria, and for the past 23 as a member of the House of Representatives, it’s time to close this chapter of my life and move on to the next challenge.

With the untimely death of Kim Jung Un's uncle, the North Korean Commie leadership has a job opening that they need to fill.

Coincidence?

I think not.

Yes, 2 to 1 majority in the GA, but a whole lot of them are really squishy.

It’s a safe rat district, unfortunately. Moran will be replaced with another piece of shite communist.

But I’m still glad to see the bastard and his full head of white hair retire.

Ha.

If JERRY Moran had done what Jim did he’d probably have been sent to prison.

Jim gets it whitewashed off his wikipedia page.

He served 12 years in total. He was in the class of 1972, but lost his seat as a freshman due to Watergate. He then came back in 1980 and defeated the same man (Herb Harris).

His ACU ratings were:
1973-92; 1974-67
1981-93; 1982-67; 1983-80; 1984-79; 1985-67; 1986-83; 1987-82; 1988-96; 1989-75; 1990-83.

Average was 80.3. Overall, probably about on par with seatmate Frank Wolf’s lifetime average (though they would switch off from year to year with their votes, sometime Parris was more to the right, sometimes Wolf).
