Democrat Senator ditched campaign “conservatism”

Didn’t take long for Sen. Ralph Northam to regain his true liberal big-government ways.

After campaigning all year about what a fiscal conservative he is, Northam attacked [1] Gov. Bob McDonnell’s budget because it ending funding for a fish tournament.

A FISH TOURNAMENT!!! A $200,000 fish tournament? Is that the function of government?

During campaign season, Northam bragged about how aligned he was with Governor McDonnell and how conservative they both are. Six weeks later, Northam’s attacking his budget for special interest pork barrel spending and willing to put a fish tournament ahead of roads, schools and public safety.
