Mark Warner Insults The Electorate
By Greg L | 6 October 2008 | US Senate | 20 Comments
Just in case any of you out there were buying Mark Warner’s baloney that he’s some sort of “moderate”, post-partisan, reasonable kind of guy, this should lay all such misunderstandings to rest. I seem to recall Warner saying that he wouldn’t raise taxes on the campaign trail when he was running for Governor, only to turn around two weeks after being elected to propose the largest tax hike in Virginia history, one that provided the Commonwealth with about a billion dollars of taxpayers beyond what it could legally spend. If Warner is elected to the Senate, no doubt the only question will be whether it will take a full two weeks before he launches his assault on the faithful, home schoolers, gun owners and unborn children.
Support Jim Gilmore.
H/T: I’m surrounded by idiots.
UPDATE: Bearing Drift is reporting that Warner is actually denying he said that the faithful, home schooling parents, gun owners and those who believe we shouldn’t murder unborn children are a threat to America. Is Warner somehow claiming that this recording is not legitimate?
Mark Warner “angrily denied” in the Richmond Times-Dispatch that he called the NRA, people of faith, home schoolers and people who believe in the right to life “a threat to what it means to be an American.” He called it “inaccurate.”
“Inaccurate.” What a complete liar.

[…] By which I mean “bankrupt.” Since that’s where “progressive” policies always end up. See-Also: BVBL, I’m Surrounded By Idiots (he must live here in Fairfax) […]
Gee, that’s funny: I remember Mark Warner being the “Candidate of Unity” from way back when, who would bring “ALL” Virginians together to solve the “budget crisis” that was looming in his imagination.
Who would’ve thought that he’d end up being just as barking-moonbat as the REST of the Left?
My thoughts here, for what they’re worth. Which isn’t much.

The citizens are so pissed at the Republican leadership right now, our GOP could run Moses-Jesus and still get slaughtered at the polls this November.
As long as Warner does not commit murder on live television, he will be our next Senator.
Our GOP is heading into a dry spell and we can thank that dopey “W” Bush for this situation. However, he alone is not at fault. All of the Republican sycophants who refused to stand up and say NO to the needless war in Iraq, the quasi-war in Afghanistan and against anti-freedom legislation such as the “Patriot Act” and now the bailout bill, share in this debacle and the fallout that will result in Republicans all over America being tossed from office.
McCain and his trophy Veep, Palin only add insult to injury, since by adding Palin to the ticket, a choice of gimmickry over substance, McCain gave the finger to the Republican grass roots as well as to the American People.
We will now have four years of the Obama, and for all of our sakes, we had better hope that he does better than Bush (that should be easy). However, for Republicans who love liberty and still want a government reigned-in to within its Constitutional limits, we will just have to wait until 2012 for a new crop of libertarian-Republican candidates.
My thoughts (Dont know how to use trackback)

It just pisses me off to no end that someone like Mark Warner could cite Christians, home schoolers, and NRA members as being among those who are threatening the rest of us with regard to what it means to be an American. What the H*** is that supposed to mean?!!! Is he trying to tell us that his thoroughly corrupted party whack job mates in the U.S. Congress and his cronies on the lunatic Left are now the symbols of America? What’s next from this clown? That we are all just a bunch of semi-literates clinging to our religion and our guns?
Politics in this state and this country have gone far beyond the limits of decency and into the realm of insanity. It should tell you that Warner himself is on the road to becoming a political tyrant just like so many of the other idiots in the modern political profession …yes, I say “profession.” These birdbrains serve only their own fat egos and wallets. The idea of a citizen-legislator who believes in true freedom is gone almost completely, no matter the party.
All I have to say to Mark Warner is this: Keep your filthy hands off the U.S. Constitution and off our freedom. What do you intend to do? Send Christians into exile if they dare to speak up and organize? Jerk those children out of their home schools and throw their parents in jail? Imitate Hitler by banning all our guns? This is one Virginian who is damn well fed up with the likes of you! You have become an insult to the ideals on which this Nation and this Commonwealth were founded.
aww. . .gun totin’ aw shucks bibble thumpers be mad? Warner will get my vote. . .
we’re all bitter, gun-clingers.
Apparently, Obama isn’t the only one who looks down on Americans.
Go home, Jay. Your mother is calling you. Time to get back to studying your primer for “useful idiots.”
Heard McCain’s brother calling NOVA “communist” HAHA so funny…not.
And Mark Warner has to worry about his baloney? The pres candidate’s brother is anti NOVA, refers to NOVA as communist ON AIR, and you think that Mark Warner has something to worrry about? Mark’s beliefs are the least of our problems, and less of a reflection on McCain than the tool of a bro who attempted to speak for him.
ateacher,
It may not be funny, but it is the truth. Exactly what does Mark “I lie” Warner have against the NRA? Or religion? Just like the typical anti-American liberal, mark tries to have it both ways. When he is in South side VA, he is for guns and hunting etc. When he is in Commie Northern VA, he is against such things.
Ateacher, what about the liberal public school teacher who sent the email asking for fellow brain washers to support terrorist supporting obama for president? No wonder there are more and more people in VA who have decided to not let anti-American libs teach their children.
Ateacher, Joe McCain was specifically referring to Arlington and Alexandria as being communist. Considering that the governments there are liberals welcoming the illegal aliens, I think calling them communist is funny and right on target.
ateacher — many people in Arlington and Alexandria in particular refer to those places as communist using names such as “The People’s Republic of Alexandria,” etc. Just take a look at the tax, spending and regulatory policies of those places and they are undoubtedly ultra-leftist.
I agree with wolverine - “Politics … have gone far beyond the limits of decency into the realm of insanity.
Cute story out of Fairfax Co involving friends, neighbors and one giant pumpkin that one first prize at the VA State Fair: (OK - personal note - two of my kids in second photo)

Harry,
It is too bad people do not pay more attention to the candidates and issues. People bitched at $4.00 a gallon gas. They bitch about high property taxes etc. They complain about the cost of metro, well, they have seen nothing if the dems increase their margin in Congress.
Yet, they support people who will raise the price of gas(they want gas more expensive so people will use less of it) and will continue to add social programs and other wasteful programs which will only lead to higher taxes.
Talk to anyone who lives in the Northeast or the State of California about taxes and fees. They will tell they dislike them but what can be done. Which is exactly what the libs want, more Government and more spending to the point once it is entrenched it can’t be undone. People just have to live with it.
Try to find any mention in the national news about Mark Warner’s insulting comments. When they went after George Allen about his unfortunate comment , there was no end to it! Disgusting!
How do Christians and home-schoolers threaten what it means to be an American?! Hello! Our country was founded on Christians and home-schoolers!! Do liberals really think that the public school system was implemented the very first day we arrived here?! How many of our founding fathers were home-schooled? How many of them were Christians? Hmm, I’d like Warner to answer that question then explain to me why all of a sudden Christians and home-schoolers are the enemy. After all, isn’t it the American way to worship whomever or however you please? And isn’t it the American way to determine for yourself how you will raise your family? Isn’t it the American way to make these and so many other decisions without the government butting in?
Apparently not anymore to the Democrats. And that’s truly sad. They’ve completely tossed out a decent heritage they could be proud of, to replace it with ridiculous radicalism. And yet they claim the moral high ground? It’s absurd.
As a hard-working adult who was raised in a home-schooling household, I’m personally offended by what Warner has had to say, and I’m proud to say that he will not be receiving my vote. Even if he wins, he will not be my representative.
Even George Washington was homeschooled..how unamerican..what kind of a twat are you Warner?
