RE: [Peninsula-Patriots] Fw: Fwd: Read VA Survey Results / Don't Vote For George Allen

I am a native Virginian and just returned several years ago from 15 years in Florida. I am still getting reacquainted with all the who's who in the VA political zoo.

 

I remember Allen when he was Governor and have not followed much of what he has become since those days. I am not surprised at this survey. Here is my issue with George Allen and other Reps like him. I believe he was a good Gov. for Virginia considering the alternative. But now there are so many Republicans that are just part of the establishment. If you want to know who is not part of the establishment, it will be all the people and groups that the media portrays as "ultra" conservative or far right. What does the media say about Allen these days. Not much of anything of importance. Basically because he is not doing much to change the status quo of Washington. He may have at one time but I don't see or hear much about anything significant he is doing to elevate conservative issues. The ones the media demonizes are the ones who have had enough and they are not taking it anymore. And that is what we need and what George Allen is not. And without even seeing this survey, I would not have voted for him. Basically the lack of "bad press" from the media is a good indicator of who you may want to vote for.

 

Just my 2.5 cents worth.

I confess that I am disappointed with the results of yesterdays election. Ruth provided this and I am late in publishing it because I am just getting to my email. It is an interesting survey.
