		<description>ManassasCity,

So true.  Of course she has never held elected office before, so how would she know what it takes or even how to reach across the aisle to get things done.</description>

		<description>BTW Anonymous, those other issues you mentioned (healthcare and education) have become intertwined with the illegal alien issue in this area.  So you can see why they've currently taken a back seat to the illegal alien invasion.</description>

		<description>Anonymous, she is probably trying to direct the issue AWAY from herself (it happens to be the #1 issue up here at the moment, particularly in the 50th District) because SHE has a provable history very supportive of the illegal alien agenda.  I believe that she is "taking this advice" very willingly...although I'm more inclined to believe that this is the REAL Jeanette Rishell that we're seeing right now, and she's not that nice little woman that so many said she was.</description>

		<description>I have a question for all of you familiar with this race in Prince William.  Why does this lady continue to keep the immigration issue a part of the race.  It seems like it would be impossible to move to the right of a guy like Miller (who is also a police officer) on immigration?

She seems to be keeping the ball in his court.  Can someone up there tell me why she dosent just run on the traditional issues that would be her strength and his weakness like healthcare and education?

She is obviously getting bad advice.</description>

		<description>Citizenofmanassas,  I wonder if her analysis of Miller being a failure on immigration because none of his bills passed the General Assembly in his first year could equate to these past figures being considered "failures".

Failure #1 - George Washington is a failure because of Valley Forge.
Failure #2 - Winston Churchill is a failure due to Dunkirk.
Failure #3 - J.F.K.'s Presidency was a failure because of the Bay of Pigs.
Failure #4 - Douglas "I shall return" MacArthur is a failure because                of the Philippines.

Simply put, most of our greatest leaders are considered such because of failures that they had to overcome.  Even so, Miller is not a failure on the immigration issue.  In fact he has done remarkably well.

I also have heard this claim from other people that Rishell is saying Miller is a failure because none of his immigration bills passed.  Mrs. Rishell, Im sorry but this is such a lame political point.  It makes you sound terribly desperate.  You can come up with a better arguement.</description>

		<description>Patryot, 
 You go on and on talking about right wingers vilifying character, and how bad they are for doing it.

Then you start calling Miller a "bloody cop", "bully", and a "one trick pony".

Patryot, I too hate "right wingers who vilify".  I equally hate ultra liberals who are pure hypocrits.  That would be you.

I have heard Jackson Miller speak twice this year in public.  He went well out of his way to say Rishell was such a "nice lady,  just wrong on the issues."
I wonder if he will continue to say the polite little niceties about her in the future.</description>

		<description>I'd rather be a right winger, then a left-wing nut anyday.    If she was so good in the first place, she would have won last year.   I realize honesty is not a trademark of the left-wing nut crowd, but really Jenette should be above pushing lies, unless of course she realizes that is the only way she can attack Jackson.</description>

		<description>I and an interesting run in with Jeanette last night.  She was conversing my neighborhood, and so I waited until she was passing my house, and we exchanged greetings.   I started to ask her a question, but she cut me off and said she did not have time to talk.  Hmmm, I thought to myself, she is out walking the pavement presumably to talk with potential voters, yet when she comes across one( I witnessed her knocking on four doors without having any response) she says she does not have time to talk.  All the while she was walking away, though the young lady with her seemed to have a bit more fight in her since she wanted to continue to talk with me.   



I asked her about the most recent mailing and she said it was all true and that was the information she received.   She said Jackson was a failure on the illegal immigration issue since his bills were not passed.  I then asked her about what she would about the issues and about once nice neighborhoods that are now not so nice.  She said she would work with local Governments, yet did not say how that would work out, and how successful she would be.  So, on one hand, she blames Jackson for being a failure because his bills were not passed, but she feels she will be able to do better by working with others.  Does she not understand that it might take a few times for some bills to get passed by both the House and the Senate?  I guess not, because in her mind if one holds a different opinion, they are wrong, and there is nothing to discuss. 

Oh, she was also able to say without laughing that she is a moderate.  

She then stormed off, and I said just like the typical liberal who runs off when faced with facts and tough questions.  Is this the type of person we need in Richmond?  One who does not have time for people who may not share the same opinions?  One that gets defensive when the going gets tough?

This is the second time I had Jeanette on the run.  Exactly how is she going to work with others in Richmond?  

Jeanette, I know either you, or someone from your campaign reads this blog.    Why is it just the simple man on the street sends you running the other way?  I thought you elitist liberals were smart?  Though I guess not smart enough.</description>

		<description>partyot,

I understand you left-wingers perfectly. Your candidate is a socialist. She has a past that she is trying to run from. Her work on behalf of the Woodbridge Workers Committee, a marxist organization, as part of Unity in the Community is well documented. Her plan to raise taxes to establish a whole new grade level, as well as tax Northern VA residents for out-of-region transportation projects, along with her support of the illegal alien lobby, caused her to lose last November. So what does she do now? She hides her true agenda on illegal immigration when speaking with voters, and flat-out lies about her opponent. This is Rishell's version of the moveon.org add trashing General Petreus.

Jackson Miller has spent his entire adult life serving the community, as a commissioned officer in the US Army, a career Police Officer, City Councilman, and as our Delegate.

What's Rishell done? What sacrifices has she made in service to her community? She's an admin assistant at a small mortgage company, and raised money for illegal aliens, fought to destroy traditional mariage with her advocation for Gay Marriage. Just an ex-hippie baby-boomer looking for some purpose in life.

She is going to lose, and lose big. Maybe this time, she'll just fade away.</description>

		<description>There's no need to "vilify" Rishell's character...she's managed to do that quite well to herself in her attempts to vilify Jackson Miller.  She also managed to energize, and ANGER, her opposition in this heretofore uneventful race...and characters like patryot (just the sort to twist a word like that, just as he typically twists the facts).</description>

		<description>I don't understand you right-wingers.  When you don't have a decent argument, you spend time vilifying character.  If you disagree with a candidate based on the issues, that's one thing.  How refreshing.  I think based on my research of the Republican candidates running for office, the overall theme is hate and divisiveness.  It is obvious that the right wing wants an All Bob Marshall legislature in Virginia in order to control personal conduct and restrict freedom.  

As for Jackson Miller, all of those so-called bills were nothings to make the immigrant haters think he's doing something productive.  What a joke.  How many of them were enacted?  He's a one trick pony.  A bloody cop, for God's sake.  A bully who wants to use police tactics to make law in Virginia.  He has to go!</description>

		<description>LSM,

Please get yourslef into a 12-step program ASAP. You have lost touch with reality. You do understand that we are talking about $75 per day? I would estimate a round trip from PWC to Richmond to be 180 miles. At the IRS accepted claim for mileage $0.485 per mile = $87.30. Per diem wouldn't cover this if Marshall was "commuting". Even if he claims the mileage on his taxes, he's not required to stay in Richmond. If he'd rather sleep in his own bed, and spend 3 hours on the road every day, that's his business.  $75 dollars a day is small compensation for either being away from home, or spending 3 hours a day on the road.</description>

<p>Please get yourslef into a 12-step program ASAP. You have lost touch with reality. You do understand that we are talking about $75 per day? I would estimate a round trip from PWC to Richmond to be 180 miles. At the IRS accepted claim for mileage $0.485 per mile = $87.30. Per diem wouldn&#8217;t cover this if Marshall was &#8220;commuting&#8221;. Even if he claims the mileage on his taxes, he&#8217;s not required to stay in Richmond. If he&#8217;d rather sleep in his own bed, and spend 3 hours on the road every day, that&#8217;s his business.  $75 dollars a day is small compensation for either being away from home, or spending 3 hours a day on the road.</p>

		<description>Pocket the per diem?  That's laughable.  Have you ever worked at the General Assembly?  Even as a staffer...that per diem doesn't come close to covering your expenses and that was before gas was so expensive.  I can't imagine what it costs these guys to drive back to the district...even if it's just for weekends.</description>

		<description>Per diem is not taxable.  That is the point.  It is not salary.  If Bob Marshall wants to make that trip home every night, good for him.  Doesn't that keep him more connected to the voters he represents?

But this isn't about Bob Marshall.  It's about Jackson Miller and how his opponent can't seem to get her facts straight even when they are laid out in front of her.

		<description>But, I believe that per diem is untaxable, right?  And Bob Marshall is notorious for commuting to and from his district in our to pocket the per diem....

Sounds like money in the bank to me.</description>

		<description>I think this is going to get shoved up the southern cavity of the Rishell campaign, and then broken off in said cavity. She's in quicksand. The more she struggles to get out, the deeper she sinks.</description>

		<description>In a desperate attempt to drive up a candidate's negatives that had none in the first place, Rishell flunked campaign 101 and allowed her campaign to blow up very early in the game.

When you attack, especially this far out from the election, you better have your ducks in a row, with everything being legitimate, and backed up by research.  What she has effectively done is made darn sure that nobody will believe a single thing coming out of her campaign from now on.  It doesn't matter what his campaign comes up with at this point to draw a distinction, they opened with a huge, obvious lie.  Everything else now (no matter what) has absolutely no credibility.  There is just no legitimacy here anymore.  Now she can just be mocked as a liar who can't be trusted from now until the election.

There is a silver lining here, not for Rishell but for the DPVA, Kaine's PAC, and Warner's PAC.  They now have a good excuse to pull all their support and stop funding this losing cause. They can go spend somewhere else in a campaign that actually has a glimmer of hope to win.</description>
