Deeds follows McDonnell’s lead again, this time on pay-cut

JR Hoeft | August 27, 2009 | Comments (2)

I’m glad Sen. Creigh Deeds, Virginia Democratic candidate for governor, agrees so much with his Republican opponent, Bob McDonnell. After all, McDonnell’s ideas are terrific.

What’s the latest? A gubernatorial pay-cut.

Wednesday, McDonnell said he would cut his salary as governor. Today, Deeds said he would do the same.

If Deeds agrees with McDonnell so much that he is a “me too” candidate, I wonder why Deed’s running against him?

About

Bearing Drift was established in 2004. The name comes from the relative motion of objects at sea. If there is no bearing drift, and the distance between you and the object is closing, there will be a collision; therefore, action must be taken.

Most navigation rules state that the best course of action with constant bearing and decreasing range is to alter one's course to starboard - the right! Therefore, most of us at Bearing Drift ascribe to this rule - if it looks like the ship-of-state is going to wreck, move right; you can't go wrong!!!
