Tim Kaine put out a presser demanding that Virginia Republicans stop talking about “divisive social issues.”
I understand. It’s hard trying to explain a request to send a double-murderer to Germany where he could be free in two years, while doing zilch to protect innocent pre-born children; let alone how you pretzelized yourself trying to defend the Obamacare broadside against Catholic priests.
Still, being the nice guy that I am, if Tim Kaine wants to avoid “divisive social issues” like that, it’s OK with me. He has to have a good reason, right?
Well, he says the people with whom he talks “want to see leaders who will focus on results-oriented solutions to rebuild our economy.”
Yeah, about that, Tim.
Why we should we put our faith in you to “rebuild our economy” when unemployment rose from 3.0% in January 2006 to 6.9% in January 2010 – more than doubling under your watch?
Why would your election ease the uncertainty holding the economy back when you opposed tax increases while running for Governor in 2005 and then demanded tax increases in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010?
Why should we trust your ability to gauge the effect of tax rate reductions on revenue when as Governor your projected revenue figure was so off-base it led to a record $7 billion shortfall?
How can you claim to be able to work with your would-be fellow Senators on budget issues when your last proposed spending plan was so laughably ridiculous it was defeated 97-0 in the House of Delegates?
Oh, and one more question:
Are you sure you’re not more comfortable with those “divisive social issues?”
