Senator Webb Will Not Seek Reelection

[Dr.House]

Yes, I am following the thread.

What political positions is Webb being criticized for in this thread?

You're following the thread, but you don't know what its about?

hint: look for the first occurrence of word "rat" and then the subsequent posts.

Yeah, I caught that ...

It was knee jerk post from an ignorant political hack and not a criticism of Webb's positions. So anytime you want to point out the positions of Webb's being attacked I'm all eyes.

It was an analogy... It remains one... The fact the word "rat" is used as an derogatory comment towards democrats is not my concern nor was it my intention when the comment was made, although watching you bedwetters get all bent is quite amusing...

I'll admit the "quitter" comment was just to get a rise out of the usual suspects... Sue me...

Too bad you have gone douche on us... There was a time when you would try to have a conversation without going douche, but something seems to have snapped and now you're just another leftist hack du jour...

I raise a glass with the hope you'll change your full on douche ways...


For those who say he's a moderate dem, what were his votes in the Senate that set him aside from the establisment leadership? When did he buck the system? (that's a phrase, BTW, and does not mean I infered he inserted a dollar into his computer)

McCain gets hammered because sold out.

Didn't Webb sell out when he voted for ObamaCare?

 

[Dr.House]

Here is how he voted on key votes... Overwhelmingly with his fellow D's...

It's an expression - rats leaving a sinking ship - look it up fuckstain...

Talk about "swing and a miss".
Weak expression and even weaker excuse.
Just admit it was a bad post and move on.

It was appropriate and relevant...

The fact it bothers you and Jimbo is just icing on the cake...

Free country, say what you want and it doesn't bother me.
"appropriate"?

Yeah, the extension of The Bush Tax Cuts was a Democratic bill.
You better check your lunch bag.
You are a ham sandwich short of a picnic lunch.

Tim Kaine anyone?

The man almost always voted with the democratics....

Take a look at the votes and tell me how he wasn't just another party firster...

And didn't Bary want the tax cuts extended?

Just because Obama supported the tax cuts-doesn't mean it wasn't a Republican bill.

You're missing the forrest for the trees, Jimbo....

(yes, that's another expression)

Tim Kaine anyone?

He seems to be the front runner. I'm just reading up on him and it seems that VA did well when he was Gov.

Virginia Senator Jim Webb plans to announce today that he won't seek reelection, a senior Senate source said.

Webb appeared likely to face a rematch with former Senator George Allen, whom he beat in a bruising 2006 contest. He had expressed ambivalence about the prospect of another run, and has said he never planned a life in politics.

Politico

Whoa, this is a game changer. This presents a prime opportunity for the GOP to pick up another seat in the Senate. While it looked like in 2008 Virginia was turning blue, it swung wildly back to the GOP last year.

Virginia was always red. If you recall, Webb ran as a Reagan conservative. It was a slick political campaign that blindsided republicans who ran a lackluster campaign for Allen. Democrats forgot to mention that Webb was fired by Reagan but by that time they had the mementum and they managed a smear campaign against Allen for using a slang word that nobody ever heard or heard of..

"smear campaign": slang for what losers allege when they lose at POLITICS.
