You basically just described the party as a whole (and pretty much why they got their asses kicked all over the country).
Will let it go now.

Gillespie's chance for a senate seat in 2014


Warner is just terrible…..I wish we could have someone else (a different democrat)


Warner has been saying the same "work across the aisle, centrist agenda…bla bla" baloney for years and years and gotten ZERO done….

I had to hold my nose to vote for him…

he was running those horrible ads about how companies get tax credits to ship jobs overseas and its wrong and he'd work to end it… really WARNER????? REALLY? We KNOW THAT???? WHAT DID YOU DO THE PAST SIX YEARS TO END IT? I mean really, ads about the tax credit to ship jobs overseas???

but that's Virginia..we get the worst democrats here…. the current Governor is another one…

I mean really Sidehatch, name one thing Warner has accomplished in the Senate??? ONE!

Man that sucks.  I LOVE that show.  It is one of the few shows on TV that I actually watch.  I can so relate to Sheldon and his lack of grasping the norms of social interaction.  Parsons does a great job in that role.

Not to speak ill of the dead but it does indeed speak volumes of the electorate when a city will reelect someone mayor who is proven to be hooked on crack and/or meth.  RIP.

I will never understand why he was considered such a hero/champion.  Not because of the crack thing, but more because he was an out-and-out self-serving crook.

I'm betting he gets reelected and his nickname is changed to "Mayor in Life and Death"

My guess is because he fought for the rights of people that you wouldn't give two shits about and those people used to make up this city.

More likely his son Christopher takes the baton.  He's already got the drug, DUI, and B&E charges on his resume.

If by "fought for the rights of" you mean "used demagoguery to mask his penchant of blatantly using the city as an ATM for his friends, family, and political supporters," then I agree.

I care about all people.  I just don't think that giving people stuff for free is how to show you care for them.  I believe it is far better to empower them to improve themselves and make their lives better.  As one of our presidents once said, the best welfare program ever is a job.
