Wow....
Maynard suggests that republicans are red necks, racists, blue collar, incapable of critical thinking and incapable of looking after ones personal interest. With that attitude, my humble thanks for one of the best promotional posts for a republican president.
the clintons again
I would like to know how many of the supporters of the Clintons will send their daughters to the White House if Clinton wins. At least we blue collar rednecks have not sold our souls to the devil. I'd rather be what I am than a Clintonion.
Mr. Twain
carl rove and the republican party surely have tapped into a motherlode of blue collar stupidity, particularly in this state. Why they continue to vote against their own economic interests is beyond me. We need to do a better job of teaching critical thinking skills in our public schools, I guess.
Different question. I know why Hillary isn't here. Why waste precious time in an essentially meaningless state for either political party's campaign? But I am curious as to why Bill is here, or Obama for that matter. Red necks and racists are not part of the Democrat's base, after all, and Northern Virginia voters can't carry the whole state.
One more thing ...
Check out this link for an analysis of the economic performance of the bush and Clinton administrations:

Please note the "jobs with good wages analysis." You blue collar types are such fools. Your hatred and ignorance make you blind to the truth. All you can do is parrot the lies and distortions delivered by Fox, Limburger, O'Liely, et al.
I see the apologists for the bush administration have arrived
The usual excuses. No, Bush wasn't responsible for Katrina. That was an act of God and you blue collar tools just think he's a god. bush was responsible, however, for the incredibly incompetent federal response. Do local city officials share some of that blame? Sure. But they didn't have the resources nor the responsibility the bush administration had. Stop trying to make excuses for the worst presidency in our nation's history by blaming others. Let's focus on what bush has accomplished. Do you feel more prosperous? Do you feel safer? I am sure some people do. Of course, most of them are not serving in Iraq and have million dollar tax breaks to be thankful for.

To blame Bush for 9-11 is outrageous, maybe he caused Katrina too,or did you forget that one. After all we could blame Bill for the first Twin Towers bombing or the USS Cole, maybe he was too busy with Monica. Maybe we could blame Bill for all those companies who went belly up during the DOT com bust. Going back through time you could find any number of things to blame on the President. Bush is working with the hand delt to him as did Clinton, etc. Here is a question, What would you do if you were President (just list two things)?
1. First, I would limit (in # of months) this election proces? the money and time being spent is outrageous. (were do they find the time and keep up with their current work)
2. Second, I am not sure, but a national flat tax rate sounds good. That way it is fair for everyone. I get so tired of people who want to keep taxing the so-called rich (I am not one), but the more you make the more they take is not fair. were is the incentive to work hard and better yourself. I once interviewed a person and asked her what she did for a living (24yo)? She said, "I get checks". One for her, one for each of her three kids and one for rent. I realize sh
Hmmm
Clinton & Gore created 22 million burger flipping and dot com jobs and called that growth.Left us with the start of a recession because of the dot com blow out. Raised taxes and had a so called surplus they say. Kind of like that Surplus Governor Mark Warner left. Funny both were never really there except on paper.

End the Dynasty!!!
End the Dynasty!!! No more Bush's or Clinton's. They've run this country for too long.
Let's Go Obama!!!!
I TOO MISS BILL CLINTON!!!!
The 1990's under Bill Clinton was a period of explosive job growth (22 million jobs); a budget surplus, reduced debt; relative peace; welfare reform; etc. I would go on a limb and say that Bill Clinton compared to George Bush was the real fiscal conservative. Under Bill Clinton and Al Gore's reinventing government the US government was actually smaller than it is now. Simply put I am not at all scared of Billary, I actually hope that if Hillary becomes our first woman president Bill has a role as an advisor. Obama is indeed inspirational, but I do not trust that he can clean up the mess left behind by Bush and Cheney. Like Hillary said it took a Clinton to clean up Bush I's mess and it will take a Clinton to clean the mess left behind by Bush II.
