Well, I was wrong

Published on February 9, 2006 By Dr Guy In Politics

Ted Matthews (aka Tim Kaine) did indeed promise to ease the tax burden in his run for Governor. Albeit he did it in the poorest part of the state. But then, after a billion (a lot for one state, except for maybe California) dollar tax increase and a Billion dollar surplus, we figured, hey! Finish the car tax repeal!

But nope! ole Ted Matthews has decided we need another 4 billion dollar tax increase! On top of the surplus! What a moron!

Terpfan wrote an article on how the taxes in what may soon be known as the new Taxachussettes, has seen our taxes rise by 55% in the last 10 years! http://terpfan1980.joeuser.com/articleComments.asp?AID=100395

And apparently there is no end in sight for good old Ted Matthews! When confronted with these FACTS, his answer? "well, there are extenuating circumstances". Sure! Some Virginians actually got to keep some money! Those are the extenuating circumstances!

So far, the republican led legislature has decided not to go along with this moron (albeit only some and the ones that want to are republican as well). But if he gets his way? Maryland and North Carolina will have to take a boat when playing basketball. because in between, we will have a giant sink hole!

The only difference between Ted Matthews and jerky Jerry Baliles is that now, Ted had to deal with a republican legislature! Thank God! Jerky jerry raped the state and if not for Doug Wilder and George Allen, we would be 50th of the 50 states! Ted Matthews is trying to get us there as his number 1 is upside down!

Go suck your thumb Ted! And take your FayKade with you.

So much for 'conservative' democrats. I hope the Delgates stick it to him.

Kaine has never been conservative with anything. I knew Pennywise would raise taxes as soon as he got in office. I fully expect for him to attempt many, many times during his reign to repeal the car tax and send our money to the lib yankees in Northern VA to pay for the South's version of "The Big Dig". It's only a matter of time for him to call for a moratorium on the death penalty. He'd have done it the Monday after his inauguration if that little dead bastard they performed the DNA testing for had actually been innocent. You just gotta hate when things backfire. Don't forget the current attempt to make I-85 a toll road.

The man has too many teeth in his head for him to be any more trustworthy than a used car salesman on Jeff Davis Highway (hence the name Pennywise).

Something wicked this way comes...

Whoa! I dont like him, but someone hates him! I will not argue with you, but unlike the snake oil salesman Warner, he is just stupid! So maybe the legislature will see him for what he is.

I will stick with Ted Matthews. Pennywise? Too Steven king for me.

I did see a few articles in the Post (I normally only use it for T.P., but they had some stuff on the National's stadium lease that made it worth buying) and in the Times on Kaine's failures to get several of his transportation programs through. It seems his sales job with the electorate was one thing, but his ability to deliver is a completely different one, and one he is failing at miserably.

It's a damned shame Kilgore blew the election so badly, and even worse that the electorate wasn't smart enough to realize that Kaine was selling them an empty suit. It reminds me a bit of Chris Van Holland in Montgomery County, Maryland. Van Holland ran a tough fight against Connie Morrella, one of the most liberal Republicans ever elected. Morrella knew her constituents, and took care of them well. She was not just a rubber stamp for all things GOP, including being pro-abortion. Van Holland ran his race and won by trumpeting that his election could be the *

that would win back the house for the Democrats, even though the Democrats were at least a dozen 'up-for-grab' seats from taking back the House. Van Holland won, but most of the other 12 seats went to Republicans, so the idiots in Montgomery County basically tossed a person with a ton of seniority, in the majority party, out on their butt, in favor of an untested rookie pol (he had some experience, but not that much) who would of course get to start on the bottom of the bottom rung in the House senority ladder.

Van Holland trumpets things he's done since getting elected, and he won't likely lose the seat to a Republican because the Democrats had carefully redrawn district boundaries to eliminate Morrella's fairly evenly divided district. So the idiots in Montgomery County Maryland can look in the mirror and ask themselves repeatedly why votes for Van Holland, Mikulski and Sarbanes (who is finally retiring, but will likely be replaced with another Dem, though they are eating their own and injecting race into the election in very nasty ways as Lt. Gov. Michael Steele runs for the seat) are not just completely wasted.

Circling back around.... Kaine is most definitely in for a rough ride. He's got a solid Republican majority in control of the legislature, and they learned quickly after Warner pulled the wool over their eyes with his tax increase that they shouldn't be so quick to enact new taxes. There's a decent surplus there, and yet Kaine has promised well more than $4 billion worth of new transportation costs. That's exactly why he wanted to raise taxes, and thankfully he lost out in round one, and will likely repeatedly lose. Lucky for you folks from the fine state of 'ginny you only have to suffer through 4 years before the current governor is tossed out in favor of someone new. It'll be over before you know it.

It is times like these where I am glad Governors cannot run for re-election. He did not pull the wool over many eyes, but enough to win.
