#26 Poor old Jack just can’t stand an “opportunist” who worked “in West Africa and the Middle East to create strategies for sustainable peace, and was involved in the peace processes that helped end the civil wars in Sierra Leone and Liberia.” A guy who helped prosecute and depose warlords like Charles Taylor. And then decided to return to his home state.

Way too accomplished for Jack’s tastes.

And Jack, the guy’s not a northerner.

From Jack Mcguire

but was easily unseated next go round. Whether born here or not, he came back to run for office in my opinion.

Jackassets that Perriello was “easily defeted” in 2010. In fact he lost by 4% in what was a landslide of Republican Tea Party nonsense in 2010, Perriello ran strong however and carried Charlottewsville, Albemarle , Rockingham, and Nelson counties. If you tag those counties onto a strtong Northern Va., Tidewater, suburban Ricmond, Roanoke City, Montgomery Countycombination. and the fact that women will swamp cuccinelli, Perrierllo could easily win in a statewide race.

But Paul Ryan being a “career politician” was fine by you, right Bob H? How the hell you could support Romney then diss McAuliffe’s wealth is truly hypocrisy in action!

#25 Watch it, Kristen, Bob H wasn’t talking to you, so apparently you’re not supposed to respond. Some sort of rule, I guess.

#24 Bob H, you keep doing this — somehow blaming me for things that others said. I most certainly never said Romney couldn’t run because he was wealthy — pretty much EVERY presidential or Senate candidate is wealthy by average standards. The Obamas weren’t rolling in it like Romney, but they weren’t hurting, either.

“As I said, he is a typical democrat, WEALTHY…”

Looking back at your comments on this thread I don’t see this anywhere. Could you point it out for me?

“Waaayyy too much Ivy league education for Jack’s taste.”

All the education in the world doesnt make for a good leader. This guy is an opportunist..took Goode by suprise with the well funded campaign,but was easily unseated next go round. Whether born here or not, he came back to run for office in my opinion. Either way he is ineffective and a far left wing hack. With nothing to offer, except to others of his ilk.

How can “typical democrats” be “wealthy” when the typical democrat is unemployed and freeloads off the taxpayers?

Gdad,

As I said, he is a typical democrat, WEALTHY. I recall some of you pointing that out about Romney as if it disqualified him from running for office or something.

Of course, it is different when it is one of your own……

#21 “Gdad, I didn’t know you were Dave!”

Gee, BobH, could you point me to the blog rule that a person can’t reply to a post unless it’s directed specifically to them. I mean, I see folks — even you — doing it all the time, so I though it would be all right. Are you becoming a blog reply nanny in addition to the metro topic arbitrator?

“You had to go back to when he was the age of 14 to find when he actually worked a job?”

Gosh, Bob H, I’m not sure how you missed this part: “After graduating from Georgetown Law, McAuliffe has been forming partnerships, raising capital and investing in business ventures. He has earned millions as a banker, real estate developer, home builder, hotel owner, and internet venture capitalist.” That stuff doesn’t qualify as a job in your mind? Weird.
