The most significant problem of the Democrats and the Washington Post (and my local Virginian-Pilot who simultaneously ran the Post’s drivel on the front page) is they didn’t attack McDonnell for his research skills.
I don’t believe McDonnell, when referencing feminism in a paper he wrote for school, ever researched or quoted current Senator Jim Webb [1], who said women were “poisoning” combat training by being there. Definitely a problem of insufficient research there, Bob. Gotta dock ya some points.
So now the religious bigotry of a desperate Democrat Party tries to slam McDonnell as an “evangelical” – which must be news to McDonnell, who is Catholic. Facts don’t mean much to a Democrat Party with leaders like Howard Dean [2], who calls religious voters “guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.”
Remember every Democrat who defended Webb’s statements? They’re hoping you don’t.
