How about trying someone who is honest and has strong ethics....that might be nice for a change.

Today, he annouced he was giving back those gifts.....well, kinda sorta.......maybe some of them.....perhaps he will give back a few of them......maybe.

Okay....to make it clearer for you folks at LVA....I will post a PARTIAL list of gifts he is NOT GIVING BACK:

$15,000 for wedding catering.
Fancy (and expensive) Rolex watch
Wife's $15,000 shopping trip
Multiple lavish vacations.

and many more !


Now, there is some good news here. Actually, good news for the fine folks of Virginia

The State of Virginia has a 1 TERM LIMIT ON IT'S GOVERNOR ! So, very soon, the good and decent folks of Virginia can elect another person for Governor !

My suggestion ? Try a DEMOCRAT ! Your Republican selection of the criminal mastermind McDonnell hasn't worked out too well.......HAS IT ?

Hmmm, a politician who got caught taking questionable "donations"(ok, bribes), now there's something you don't see everyday. I live in Va. and the campaigns are starting out fairly tame, mainly smearing one another and not saying a heckuva lot on issues, well not really anyway. Neither Cucinelli or Macauliffe has done anything to impress anyone so far.
Even tho I lean towards the right I'd never vote strictly based on party, I think that'd be rather narrow-minded. While I appreciate your interest in my next Governor can you tell me on what basis I should cast my vote for democratic nominee Terry Macauliffe other than the fact of soon to be ex-Gov. hand being caught in the proverbial cookie jar? What do you think are his strengths?weakness's? What issues should I consider as the most important to the state of Va? I'd really appreciate any answer's and or insight you may provide other than voting against yesterday for what happens tomorrow. Thanks a lot in advance.J
