old chuck is not only unpleasant, but dangerous to one’s health

You are leaving out some very important components of that Finn story.
The Finn family also was not all in agreement.
Americans have very different views on right to die issues.

It means he was sympathetic with Michele Finn (not Hugh’s parents who were trying to save his life) even to the extreme of giving her some of our tax dollars once the deed was done. His answer to the question at the debate is self-explanatory.

Obviously, you don’t know how the mailers are handled. Look at the direct mail piece and see who authorizes it, if it says: ‘Paid for by the Democratic Party’ and DOES NOT INCLUDE SENATOR CHARLES COLGAN, than the Senator had no knowledge of it (I.E - VIEWED IT OR APPROVED IT) !!

AND THAT IS A FACT!

No, actually he did. Once Colgan realized that the pro-choice and anti-gun ads were starting to kill him in the district, he complained to DPVA and made them stop, but not before the polling data came in.

If he really was 100% pro-life, I can’t imagine how this could have happened.

The Senator is 100 % PRO-LIFE AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. Check out page 3 of today’s MJM.

Is Chuck Colgan going to ask his El Salvador friends to come vote next Tuesday? Is the good old boy network for Chuck Colgan going to hang out with them at the 7-11 and have nice conversation.

In addition, I think there is a real issue whether Senator Colgan’s seniority still means much to the democrats. Colgan claims to be pro-life, but the Democratic Party of VA sent out a campaing flyer essentially saying that a vote for Colgan is a vote for pro-choice. One would think that the senior senator’s own party would give some respect to the position he supposedly advocates. Very truthfully that flyer makes me think that the DPVA is treating the senator like someone who is losing strength and can be pushed around.

Good ole boy Chuck just doesn’t care about his old neighborhood.

Bob really cares about my neighborhood. He went door to door personally. He listens. That is what a representative is supposed to do. He is also actively involved in a ministry. That is character.

Chuck just wants to chastise us. He said we are all mistaken. Chuck Colgan SAID that those men hanging out at the 7-11 are here legally. He said that they are from El Salvador. Chuck Colgan said he converses with them and we should do the same. And do you have the nerve to say he is a good choice for our community? If you do, then I suppose I’ll see the El Salvador flag and/or Mexican flag waving at your house.

Greg L wrote “If you want to build seniority, there’s no need to push that transition off….”

Electing your State Senator is very similar to making a personal financial investment. You choose your investment carefully wanting and expecting it to grow over many years.

We elected Chuck Colgan some time ago and our investment in good government has grown and grown. With the seniority and widespread respect he has earned, Senator Colgan is now producing the highest rate of return on our investment in responsible government and will continue to do so for the next four years if we stay invested by re-electing him.

It makes no sense to cash in a high yielding investment four years early and replace it with a very low yielding one, hoping that 20 years from now it might possible earn what our current one is producing.

So Greg…Would you cash in a CD earning 20% interest four years before it matures and then reinvest in a new CD earning 1% interest?

We are re-investing with Senator Colgan.

Senator Colgan was never invited (officially or unofficially) to the “forum”.
By the way, in Roman days “going to the forum” meant different things to different people.
