Drake questions Nye's role in Macedonia hostage rescue

Everyone (D's anyway) tells me that it doesn't make any difference to John McCain's resume that he was a POW in Vietnam. Same logic: It doesn't matter that Thelma did not serve in the military and Glenn Fry did. It's all irrelevant, by the standard in which we make military service a neutral value. Cheers, MGM

Honestly, Thelma Drake is the complaining crybaby. If she was a real politician, who had honor and class, she wouldn't complain about her opponent's record and work on her own.

How much time did Thelma Drake ever spend in a volatile situation that could have cost her, her own life? Maybe in the real estate business now she would be taking her life in her own hands. She has some nerve criticizing anyone that did go overseas and did the duty that they were called upon by the government to support our citizens (civilian or military). She likes to tell people how she supports the veterans, but where did she initially stand when concurrent receipt came up. She should have been in the forefront getting a civil war law changed to change the injustice that is now being done to veterans that did stay until retirement and became disabled but are punished because they did do their 20. The presidency is now the only change that is needed in the direction that our country has been led and I believe that we need a change in the direction that our supposed representative needs to meet the ne

Let's not forget that she pushed for Pat Robertson's 64 Interchange to Nowhere, Evan as the city said that wasn't in their list of priorities for solving the city's traffic problems.

What are Glen Nye's qualifications to be a congressman, other than he was in the State Department and supposedly rescued a hostage? Sounds like he'd make a better security consultant or soldier than a legislator. Then when he's pressed about his qualification, he starts complaining. Well, there's one thing evident, he's qualified to be a Democrat, because he's a big crybaby.

Maybe Thelma can explain her role in voting against our troops.

I walk the streets here with no body armor and people get killed here too. Am I a liar? Think not! Were you there when she took the walk(s) she talked about? Think not! The facts, please ma, just the facts. And to Thelma, keep fighting the pork and tell it as you see it.

I never thought Thelma Drake could go lower, but she just did. Honestly, for every comment like that she makes from now until November, I will donate 25$ to Glenn's Campaign.

It seems although Glenn may be trailing Thelma Drake he is taking the higher road and not taking pot shots at his candidate. Maybe Thelma could take a leaf out of his book

Drake lied when she said she could walk the streets of Baghdad without protectvie armor and stay in its hotels. How could she live with herself making such a statement when our men and women were and still are getting killed in Iraq?

No high school diploma for Thelma. Oops, making babies when still in high school does have consequences. No wonder she loves Sarah Barracuda--same family values. Does she harbor resentment towards people who actually excel in their education and accomplish incredible feats while still in their twenties? Thelma, you're done--how's the real estate business lookin for ya?

competent, suppose all of you run for public office. I dare you. And once you are in public office, learn the ropes of a complex machine called the House of Representatives while following your list of priorities for the folks back home. My VOTE is with Thelma. As a decorated Viet Nam Vet I am proud that she has taken the reins from resprentitives OWEN Pickens and 'ed schrock' and is compelling other congress people to take note of the 2nd district and southeastern Va. - She has made incredible inroads for us and will continue to do us proud.
To lose her now is a big mistake, and to not support her is a bigger mistake. Candidates like Glen Nye are a dime a dozen in D.C., and we need better than that. Thelma is gold, and she belongs to us. Vote Thelma Drake, Vote for contracts that bring jobs to our region, Vote for the continued quality of Life that we all enjoy as members of the 2nd district, I'm never moving

thelma needs to run on her experience as an unwed pregnant teen in ohio.
Now that's experience David Nye just can't get!

Maybe if she spent more time defending her own record, explaining how her work has benefited us and telling us what SHE's going to do about current conditions, people would pay more attention to her. Instead, she's lobbing pot shots at her opponent and running from her own history. Her opponent is largely untested as a political representative. But compared to Ms. Drake's record, it shouldn't be hard for him to disinguish himself.

Kinda odd how folk turn up the volume when they have the weakest argument. That's what personal attacks amount to, because they are not about ideas and positions... just resentment and other negatives.

Let's review Thelma's Military Service to her country. LOL

I question Drake's role in support of George Bush for over 90% of the time. What we are seeing is Roveian politics. It's time for Drake to call it a day and go back to selling real estate, but wait.......would you buy a home from Thelma Drake? Never happen!

And while you're at it, a new job. You'll be back selling houses (or not) on NOvember 5th.

So Thelma Drake is going to question a Veteran about his service in war? The same rubber stamper that supported the Cheney/Bush doctrine of the bogus Iraq war. Supported them and rubber stamped every decision made in the blundering of the war. How many coffins have to come home before the public wakes up to the the self serving political sycophant know as Thelma Drake.Drake has always been referred to as "Caught Red Handed Drake, after the substantiated reports that she was Cheney's puppet for the big oil companies and her contributions from Enron to Halliburton to Exxon. Others that know her well, refer to her as the "Black Hand of Death" for her role in the "It will be a cake walk crowd" which ultimately cost the lives of thousands of our young man and women. Totally shameful and nauseating to see her red white and blue campaign posters littering this military town.
Shame on anyone who condone

...and a Wiseman questions Thelma's role in Washington. Thelma boldly went where even John McCain dared to go-lockstep and hand-in-hand with the Bushism shenanigans. It was a nice puppet show for a while, but now that the puppeteers are going, it's time to pull the curtains. Say goodnight, Thelma.

Thelma voted with George Bush 99% of the time. Say goodbye, Thelma.

Nye should expect more attacks from her as she runs away from her own voting record in Congress. She voted "NO" to the improved GI Bill and claimed "the President would just Veto it" anyway... With a record like hers, what else can she do but make false claims against Nye.

I'm looking forward to the day our District has real leadership in Congress. We'll see if the voters show her the door on 4 November. I sure hope so as we can't take much more of her failures.
