McAuliffe is a Clinton crony sleaze ball who made his money with sleazy business deals.
These two parasites remind me of CFK. By your definition she is a “Pragamtic Leader”. She has stolen hundreds of millions and stashed it in Swiss bank accounts. A true visionary on the level of Al Capone
Good thing it's not your state.....lol. Either way....he got 74% of the vote. It could have been worse.......it could have been tea balls.....I mean bags.....or whatever the hell they are.

Nov 07th, 2013 - 02:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Christie could be because of the shear fact is is more a centrist and not an extremist. But I still think it's a stretch. Whoever runs needs to be able to negotiate, compromise and seek consensus for the country and not the party. They also need to work on real changes in the budget process, *allow line item vetoes
Nov 07th, 2013 - 04:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0* pass a resolution that ALL debt will be funded and paid and the government cannot shutdown unless by law passed by congress, rather than shutdown from inaction of congress.
*Limit budget increases to inflation indexes
*New programs funded independent of existing budgets
*Fund the military based on military requests, not senators that represent states that make tanks, jets, ships and subs.
and....and...and. Ohhhhhh....to boldly dream of real change!

I sincerely meant that I hope whatever party gets in, works for the country and not the party. Since 2000, USA presidents have sucked on both sides of the aisle.
