The Ugly (Democratic) Truth

A lot of comments have been slung from the Democratic side of the aisle that the main focus of the House GOP has been on social issues.

In fact, that main focus amounts to a whopping 2.2% of bills that passed the House this Session...

In these difficult economic times, the House Dems have decided that THEIR MAIN FOCUS is to raise taxes and not focus on keeping Virginia the #1 state to do business.

The House Dems have said over and over this Session that they would GLADLY raise taxes on Virginians. The GOP Majority on the House Finance Committee prevented this from happening...
