Virginia Governor Race Pathetic Politics
By: Lance Winslow
Virginia Governors race was a pathetic showing of politics as usual as the debate were constant barbs and attempts to character assonate. These guys did nothing but run around our state and give each other a hard time. The three candidates and groups assisting them raised 42 million dollars for the election and used every dollar to smear their opponents. Jerry Kilgore a former state attorney general spent 22 million and Tim Kaine collected 18.7 million to fire back attack ads and rhetoric. Russ Potts raised 1.3 million. What is up with the politics in our Common Wealth?
We need to stop these attacking ads and cheap shot innuendos, is this all we are capable of? Is this the best our leaders can do? Some say they use these tactics and attacks because they work? Indeed, and people watch the punk kinds pretend to be executives on the “Apprentice†also. But just because Donald Trump does this on Television does not make it okay for our political leaders. This is sickening and pathetic. Citizens concerned about their welfare have given their monies in donation to help these people run for office and they waste it on hate crime ads. May I ask why you would want someone like that to lead you? Do you want someone like that in charge of our taxpayer’s monies?
The Virginia Governor Race and this Pathetic Politics has to end if we are to get anywhere in this state or in our nation. In this election more money was spent than at any other time in the states history, why? And why spend that kind of money on hate crime ads? If these people cannot get along before the election why on Earth would you want them in office? No wonder people hate politicians? Think on it.
