Last night, the citizens of 49 states were treated (?) to what Virginians have to look forward to for the next 4 years.  A bumbling, mumbling idiot that even Bush's harshest critics will acknowledge makes Bush look Statesman in comparison.  No less than 9 times did Tim (Tom) Kaine tell us there is a better way.  Yet he has been in office only a couple of weeks.  So what is his better way?

Well, for one thing, he has demonstrated that no tax increase is enough for Democrats.  After shoving a tax increase of $1 billion on us by his predecessor, the Commonwealth of Virginia immediately showed a guess what?  A Billion dollar budget surplus!  So did we get the tax increase back?  Anyone out there really that naive?

So now the state is running a very healthy surplus, but that is not enough for Kaine!  Now he is trying to ram another tax increase down our throats.  In all fairness, since the legislature is run by Republicans, he cannot do that alone (and one would hope they come to their senses this time).  We will see in the next month and a half.

So other than proposing another massive tax increase, what is Kaine's better way?  What has he done?

Well, he was councilman and mayor of Richmond Va.  A city known for his very high murder rate, rampant crime, and the worsts schools in the state! (Commonwealth).  And this did not happen since his tenure, it happened DURING his tenure.  So when he says better way, I guess he means he wants to ghettoize the rest of the nation, as one city is just not enough.  Too bad for Virginia.  At least the other 49 states can dismiss him and laugh at him.

It is ironic, but not surprising that the democrats would put him up to deliver the rebuttal, hoping that he could re-energize a party that has lost its way except for the Cindy Sheehans.    Only to get a buffoon that can not run a city, much less a state.  Unless you consider tax and spend (to no end) a way to run any political jurisdiction. 

Last night we got a vision, and then the obligatory derision by Hillary and Company.  But at least a vision, whether you like it or not.  Then we were subjected to one of the 3 stooges.  Unfortunately, while the 3 stooges were funny, Tim (Tom) Kaine is anything but.
