re: #493 Dr Lizardo

It looks to me like the SoCons are well on their way to alienating pretty much every other potential constituency aside from themselves.

I think so yeah. I mean the problem to me with the Republicans here is they have to be purer than thou. Tip O’Neill always said all politics is local. Well a longtime delegate here was knocked off in a primary and now it’s a competitive race. I got some literature from the Democratic candidate. She may as well been a mid 90’s Republican here. She emphaisized her work on a nearby town’s town council, how they managed to balance the budget, and provide good funding for the town’s necessities like the fire department. Her opponent meanwhile opposes abortion in all cases and just says I’m a businessman so lower taxes har har. If Republicans want to know why their name brand sucks to most people, look at here in Virginia and you’ll get a good idea why.
