[The right-wing liberal] Warner’s explanation: Who are you going to believe? Me? Or your lying ears?

Posted by rightwingliberal in October 7th 2008 under: Democrats, Economics, Government spending, Jim Gilmore, Mark Warner, On the Blogosphere, Republican Party, U.S. politics, Virginia politics, aggregated

Mark Warner would like us to believe that his record in state politics and that of his opponent Jim Gilmore are far more important than their views on national issues, such as Warners’ panic-driven support for the bailout.
Be careful what you wish for, Mark.

In the four months or so that I have posted in this space (as stated below, this was orginially posted on Bloggers 4 Jim Gilmore) , I’d like to think I gave Mark Warner the rough treatment he deserved.

You know, that Jim Gilmore.
Well, say hello (once again, it’s been a while) to Jim Gilmore, the taxpayer’s best friend […]

I have been mostly silent over this bailout catastrophe; and I applaud the local members of the House who unanimously voted against the bailout in both forms. Regardless of partisan lines, they seemed to take the position of most Virginians and followed through.

Let’s face it, I’m supporting Jim Gilmore more because I don’t want Mark Warner as my Senator, and because of Warner’s revisionist budget history than any other reason.
But Gilmore doesn’t need people like this around.

Well, I received an irate phone call from the wife today complaining about the car tax bills that had just arrived in our mail.

Remember the name Richard Amrhine. His column in the Free Lance-Black Hole is a museum piece of lefty elitism - the pure, distilled, undiluted version. The entire column, in fact, reminds me of a famous phrase for those of us who got sucked into the Babylon 5 craze (Londo Molari, In the Beginning):

For a guy who backed Bob Marshall as fervently as I did, I must admit I’m stunned (delighted, but stunned nonetheless) to see such a principled fight in the Gilmore-Warner race.
