I'd love to see him debate Hitlary.
But he did write a lot of great songs.
This the dude who writes the weird ass books?
If you got a -D, then you lie.
The dood is a bit wacky, flaky.....This is the word out of DC
Well, he did write some great songs............................oh, wait a minute...................
Here in Virginia, dems love Webb. Like Kerry, he has a military background that can be paraded to portray him has tough and pro-GI Joe. Like Kerry, once he starts uttering things, the forked tongue slithers out and knocks off the mask to reveal the hideous lib underneath.
Pat Buchanan wants this guy as prez. because he ran an antisemitic campaign for his Senate seat.
He’s been all over the map politically. He served as Secretary of the Navy in the Reagan Administration. He wrote an interesting book on the Scotts-Irish and ruined it by claiming they should become just one more assertive ethnic-identity group clamoring for government largess. The guy is actually more of an opportunist than a principled advocate, which is why his returned to the Democrat party made some sense.

Hilarious.
His singular accomplishment (aside from writing raunchy fiction) was beating George Allen. AFAIK, he did nothing during his one term in the Senate.
He has no money, no organization and no grass roots fired up to work for him. You need at least one of those things. And Maccacca only works once.
Good luck with that, Jimbo.
ol’ Jim Webb wrote the best book about my people I have ever read: Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FCKGTS?btkr=1
Sorry Jim but Hillary and Liz got this one. You’re a White man in the Democratic Party. Sorry pal, but you’re not the right color or gender for 2016.
He was a vote for Obamacare if I’m not mistaken. That should sink his ship immediately.
Webb parlayed the book title “Born Fighting” into a campaign slogan when he ran vs. Allen in 2006.
But once he got into office, Mr. “Born Fighting” turned out to be a Harry Reid acolyte who did nothing for the state of Virginia. Webb also voted well over 90% in concert with Obama’s agenda, and cast one of the deciding votes in favor of Obamacare.
“Born fighting,” my ass.
I'd love to see him debate Hitlary.
Soooooooo Jim Webb what are your thoughts on Obama’s ILLEGAL executive orders? What? I can’t hear you? Jim? Jim? You need to speak up. Are you there????
Webb beat Allen because George couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
Allen & Co tried to morph Webb into John Kerry...Webb was the ‘real thing’ where Kerry mostly a phony.
Allen also over did it on the Maccaca thing...First off why use a word that you have absolutely no idea what its meaning is or what sense it should or should not be used.
Once - maybe, but Allen kept repeating it like he was trying to make a point....
Never want to vote for a POL that is to ‘smart’ for his own good, especially when they don’t know the proper setting to use a word
(think that world famous word for cheap).
While perfectly fine it would not be advisable for a young White dude to to go NE or SE Washington and stand on the street corner expounding how ‘Niggardly’ the Mayor is when it comes to giving money to their neighborhood.
I would find it hard(er) to vote for Webb seeing as he hung his aide out to dry in regards to a Pistol that was in a brief case belonging to Webb that Webb had asked his Aide to put in his office (aide was another former Marine).
A Presidential campaign is quite a challenge for the voter: Can you find a great man hidden among a crowd of delusional psychopaths?
STEP ONE: Eliminate most of the psychopaths by eliminating all the candidates who are in favor of chopping babies to pieces.
He has no natural constituency in the Dem party, except maybe those who would take an appearing centrist just to win. Most of those people have fled since the Carter years.
The best chance to put in a pretend centrist boring white guy would be Evan Bayh, who bailed out at a good time from Indiana.
I don’t care, it’s OK with me if the dems muddy up the waters of their candidate pool for a change and waste time and money, especially money.
