A Democrat's Solution

As suspected, the Dilemmacrats are pulling out the same old song and dance for this year's Session. Fairfax Senator Barbara Favola took those tired talking points earlier this week to join Bruce DePuyt on News Talk. You can view the full video here.

A few highlights:

"Certainly I [think] that we need to look at tax credit measures...but I can't say that we should just  return those dollars through tax cuts...Virginians aren't over-taxed" -Senator Barbara Favola

She goes on to dismiss the $300 million price tag of Obamacare's Medicaid Expansion on Virginians, calling it "only 10 percent". -Senator Barbara Favola

Riiiight...Just 10 percent. That will be a comforting thought while Virginians have to watch taxes skyrocket or budgets get slashed to pay what she judges to be such a paltry sum. Unlike the Federal government, we cannot simply print more money.

Play me out Steven...

The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again!

What's worse? Senators Howell and Saslaw extorting the NVTC for votes, or the completely misplaced and unwanted opinion of Barbara Favola; proud owner of the Senate's worst (seriously, it's crappy) business record. 

Needless to say, tantrums are being thrown, and many threats have been issued to the NVTC – by NOVA DEMOCRATS.

Through their wails of confusion and anguish, Dems threatened to unilaterally block the NVTC's legislative agenda in the Senate if they did not reverse their decision.

Unsurprisingly, thanks to his lack of knowledge, experience, or answers to any of the hard questions, Terry McAuliffe fell short of the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC) endorsement. 

The NVTC responded plainly that their reasoning for the endorsement came from the Attorney General's ability to answer the tough questions, where Terry could only dodge them or hide behind platitudes. That doesn't seem too far off of the mark for a lifelong slime-ball fundraiser, whose one real attempt at running a business has gone down in flames and is under SEC investigation. 

From the Washington Post: “Terry was his normal, flamboyant self,” said a board member present for both interviews. “He didn’t want to get pinned down to any details. He didn’t give any details. He was all about jobs, jobs, jobs — ‘I’m just going to take care of the situation when the time comes. I’m just going to do it.’ It was all [expletive].”
