Gerry Connolly Needs Your Help

Dear Friend and Potential Contributor,

I want you to imagine for a moment our country after two years of a President Romney, Majority Leader McConnell, and Speaker Boehner.

Medicare has been privatized. Baby boomers who are about to start using the program no longer have access to the health insurance program they’ve been paying into for their entire lives. Instead they have vouchers, which won’t keep up with the rising cost of health care. But not to worry, because tax breaks for Exxon-Mobil have been extended, and they are seeing record profits. I recognize that Exxon-Mobil is headquartered in my District on Gallows Road in Merrifield, and employs thousands of my constituants, but they remain a problem as long as they make a profit. If Medicare is underfunded, you can thank Exxon-Mobil and the Republicans.

Planned Parenthood's federal funding has been eliminated entirely. Millions of women no longer have access to the low-cost preventive health care and abortions that Planned Parenthood offers. Thousands of women will miss their annual breast cancer screening, preventing the possibility of early detection. Freedom of choice for women will be a thing of the past, and government bureaucrats will take control of their reproductive rights. But not to worry, because the capital gains tax has been eliminated. That's right - less Federal funding from taxpayers for Planned Parenthood, Inc., means NO MORE CHOICE (ABORTIONS) for anyone. And no, we will not use the taxes on Exxon-Mobil's profits to pay Planned Parenthood either.

Dodd-Frank has been repealed. Banks are again allowed to gamble with their customers life savings. But not to worry, because Jamie Dimon has promised that banks have learned their lesson, and are completely capable of managing the risk in their portfolios. And the Republicans in Congress will try to change the law that still requires banks to issue subprime loans to promote racial upward mobility. While FDIC insurance will still protect your bank deposits, it will not protect your risky real estate purchases.

This may seem like a dystopian vision of the future, but it’s actually the Republican platform. House Republicans voted en bloc for the Ryan budget, which would end Medicare as we know it, and defund federal gifts to Planned Parenthood. House and Senate Republicans lined up virtually unanimously against Dodd-Frank, and Mitt Romney has vowed to repeal it as President. They even want to balance the budget.

We can’t afford to let Republicans control the Presidency, Senate, or the House. Look at all we accomplished when Democrats controlled the House, Senate, and Presidency during the first two years of the Obama Administration! Democrats only need 25 seats to take back our majority in the House and control everything again. Before we can take back those 25 seats though, we need to defend swing seats like mine.

On May 23rd, we close the books on my pre-primary filing with the FEC. It’s critical we have a strong financial showing. If we don’t, national Republicans will smell blood in the water, and dump everything they have into defeating me. Even though they have shown no inclination to do so, since the 11th District was redrawn to keep me safely in office for a long time. But I'm scared that they might run a stronger candidate against me than they did last time, and I need as much money as possible to give to other campaigns that can not raise as much as me. That's how I can buy more influence once reelected.

In order to meet our pre-primary fundraising targets (no, I don't have a primary opponent, but just in case), we need to raise another $12,000 online before midnight on Wednesday. Can you help us meet our goal?

We need your help before Wednesday to show national Republicans that the people of Northern Virginia are strongly behind me. In 2010, I imagined that Karl Rove spent $3 million trying to try to defeat me, and he came within 981 votes of doing it. Your contribution before May 23rd will help deter him from doing it again in 2012. Please send your contribution today!

Yours in Service,

Congressman Gerry Connolly
11th District of Virginia

Dear Gerry,

I live for the day when your sorry butt is out of a job. You can move to California and ply your socialist trade to those folks who are now billions in debt thanks to the everything is free mindset.

IMO you have done nothing in Congress but run up more debt and rubber stamp the Obama Pelosi socialist agenda of more government and more taxes same as you did when you were on the Fairfax BOS.

The only reason you are still in office is the Republicans keep putting up below average candidates who run a terrible campaign.

With any luck you will be picking up your last paycheck in January 2013 and join Obama on the unemployment line.

Challenge 1: Look up socialism in a history book, if book learnin' doesn't bother you too much.

Challenge 2: Not that I think this is an appropriate forum for political fund-raising, but you are free to specifically refute the original post with examples and analysis (you can look those words up in a dictionary first if you need to).

Dear Slave,


That's how your letter should have started numbnuts. Yours as Overseer should be how your letter ended. Its full of liberal, emotional, blowhard bullshit that we've come to expect from you, but you are not a team player. Instead you vote 97% of the time with Obama/Pelosi. So please don't insult your slaves.

Here's my contribution: voting against you, and "go fuck yourself." You have been in office in one shape or form since 1995, and what has occured? Shit's gotten worse. Thank you Weasel :).

A primary goal of socialism is social equality and a distribution of wealth based on one's contribution to society, and an economic arrangement that would serve the interests of society as a whole.

Redistirbution of wealth sound familiar? obama=pelosi=connolly

Making all equal no matter how big a parasite one can be on the whole. Section 8 housing, welfare, food stamps, disability real or imagined, etc.

Gerry, I'm neither Republican or Democrat, but I will not support you because you are a f-ing douche.

You and Obama are coprrupt, incompetent, and unapologetic spenders. You lecture about fairness, then push for bailouts for our biggest p.o.s. deadbeats and deadbeat organizations.

You try to manipulate the markets and impede economic efficiency, whether through propping up the housing bubble or forcing lightbulb standards which disincentivize cheaper, safer low-energy bulbs in the future. Like nearly every bill you vote for, these efforts are to impede individual freedom.

You want Obama's stupid fucking Principal Reduction scam, another bailout promoted as "fairness"": the minority of underwater owners who aren't paying their loans will get six-figure cash rewards from the taxpayers. Do you idiots WANT more strategic defaults and to punish people who behave responsibly, or is it just an opportunity to malinvest more borrowed money? I'm sure it's all with the best intentions, and voters should ignore your role as a corrupt realtor lobby puppet. Go ahead and run on that, see if rotten morals and financial stupidity are vote-winners.

You spend taxpayer money on horsheshit, like expanding risky mortgage loan subsidies and student loans which drive up the cost of living via overinfated home prices and skyrocketing tuition, not to mention a higher default rate.

You play the race card when it comes to illegal immigration. It was to your benefit. Were illegals not comfortable living here, you might not have had that extra 981 in 2010.

You want more stimulus spending, same as was spent before, despite the stimulus' proven record as one of the most expensive and inefficient job-creation bills ever passed. This is corrupt political money laundering which ought to land your ass in jail.

You are not only against reforming our unfunded ponzi scheme (future entitlements which ensure our impending financial demise), you demagogue the shit out of those who seek to reform it. Financial recklessness + Low-class pandering = DOUCHE.

Republicans suck, but cynical cunts like Connolly and Obama are why Democrats lose so often. Your solutions are horrid, you are corrupt as hell, and you do not give a fuck about the viability of our country in 50 years or even in 10 years. You are the exception to the expression that "everybody hates Congress, but they love their Congressman". My Congressmand is a fucking douche, and I wish 981 other people in nova who feel this way got off their asses two years ago. And stop blaming that race on the criminal Karl Rove, you whiney coward.

House Just passed CISPA bill - Connolly Voted "Yes"

CISPA Legislation Is Disguised—Fascism

CISPA the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act if signed into law will allow——the military and NSA warrant-less spying on Americans’ confidential electronic Communications; any transmitted private information circumventing the fourth amendment. CISPA will allow any self-protected cyber entity to share with the Feds any person’s private information that might allegedly relate to a cyber threat or crime. Considering the U.S. Government’s current business relationship with telephone and Internet companies, it should be expected the feds would use CISPA to gain unprecedented access to lawful Americans’ private electronic communications. Almost every week news media reports corrupt police arrested for selling drugs, taking bribes and perjury. It is foreseeable that broad provisions in CISPA that call for private businesses / cyber entities to share with Spy Agencies confidential information will open the door for corrupt government and police to sell a corporations’ confidential information to its competitors, foreign government and others. CISPA provides insufficient safeguards to control disposition of (shared) confidential corporate / cyber entity information, including confidential information shared by spy agencies with private entities derived from spying on Americans.

The recent House Passed Cyber Security Bill overrides the Fourth Amendment. Government may use against Americans in Criminal, Civil and Administrative courts (any information) derived from CISPA warrant-less spying.

CISPA will open the door for U.S. Government spy agencies such as NSA; the FBI; government asset forfeiture contractors, any private entity (to take out of context) any innocent—hastily written email, fax or phone call to allege a crime or violation was committed to cause a person’s arrest, assess fines and or civilly forfeit a business or property. There are more than 350 laws and violations that can subject property to government asset forfeiture. Government civil asset forfeiture requires only a civil preponderance of evidence for police to forfeit property, little more than hearsay.

CISPA (warrant-less electronic surveillance) will enable the U.S. Justice Department to bypass the Fourth Amendment, use information extracted from CISPA electronic surveillance) of Americans’ Web Server Records, Internet Activity, transmitted emails, faxes, and phone calls to issue subpoenas in hopes of finding evidence or to prosecute Citizens for any alleged crime or violation. If the current CISPA is signed into law it is problematic federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and private government contractors will want access to prior Bush II NSA and other government illegally obtained electronic records to secure evidence to arrest Americans; civilly forfeit their homes, businesses and other assets under Title 18USC and other laws. Of obvious concern, what happens to fair justice in America if police become dependent on “Asset Forfeiture” to help pay their salaries and budget operating costs?

Note: the passed “Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000” (effectively eliminated) the “five year statue of limitations” for Government Civil Asset Forfeiture of property: the statute now runs five years (from the date) police allege they “learned” an asset became subject to forfeiture. If CISPA takes affect, allows (no warrant) electronic government surveillance of Americans, it is expected CISPA will be used by government not only to thwart cyber threats, but to aggressively prosecute Americans and businesses for any alleged crime: U.S. Government spy and police agencies; quasi government contractors for profit, will relentlessly sift through Citizen and businesses’ (government retained Internet data), emails and phone communications) to discover possible crimes or civil violations.

A corrupt U.S. Government Administration too easily use CISPA no-warrant-seized emails, faxes, Internet data and phone call information) to target, blackmail and extort its political opposition; target any Citizen, corporation and others in the manner Hitler used his Nazi passed legislation that permitted no-warrant Nazi police searches and seizure of Citizens and businesses or to extort support for the Nazi fascist government. Hitler Nazi Laws made it possible for the Nazis to strong-arm German parliament to pass Hitler’s 1933 Discriminatory Decrees that suspended the Constitutional Freedoms of German Citizens. History shows how that turned out.

CISPA warrant-less electronic surveillance) has the potential of turning America into a Fascist Police State.

No what you mean is you will have to pay for your procedures out of your own pocket. I no more want to pay for someone elses abortion than I do their liposuction.

"If Medicare is underfunded, you can thank Exxon-Mobil and the Republicans"
I thank Exxon Mobil everyday for the jobs they bought to this area. Many employees live in your district you turd. They are a boon to real estate taxes and sales taxes as well as big contrbutors to local non profit events. What have you done lately Gerry?

The best part is, re-elect me again, and I don't ever have to worry about retirement. I'll be getting my pension courtesy of you, and my non-Obama healthcare from you also. Thank you Fairfax and PWC, I love YOU!!!!

He's also "gerry mandered" the district to his advantage this time, due to the U.S. Census. The Weasel will do anything to get elected. I'm convinced that he would sell his liver and his family downriver, to get that fat ass on his seat again.

New World Order Elite

The Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group.

Following their plan they put in stone on the GEORGIA GUIDESTONES this minority of revolutionaries, an oligarchy of banksters, are intent on exterminating and destroying civilization.

The Council on Foreign Relations is the American branch of a society which organized in England . . . (and) . . . believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one world rule established." [WITH NO APOLOGIES by Senator Barry Goldwater, Berkley Books, New York, p 126]

The Trilateral Commission was formed in 1973 by private citizens of Japan, Europe (European Union countries), and North America (United States and Canada) to foster closer cooperation among these core democratic industrialized areas of the world with shared leadership responsibilities in the wider international system. "The Trilateral Commission is international . . . (and) . . . is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States." [ WITH NO APOLOGIES, by Senator Barry Goldwater, Berkley Books, New York, p 293]

The Bilderberg is a quasi-secret consortium of international elite who meet annually to plan world economic and political policies. The Bilderberg has no membership per se. Those identified with “B” in this chart have attended at least one Bilderberg meeting.

While many individuals who are members of these groups may not fully comprehend that they are essentially an oligarchy of criminals enslaving the world under the banksters funny money system and violence, it is hard to believe that anyone who reaches such stature in the political realm cannot for a moment examine the fruits of the organizations and governments under which they serve. It's pretty dam obvious that the US is unlawfully invading other nations, that the CIA operates as terrorists with the criminal intent of destabilizing any government that does not enslave their people under the money masters. The simple raw statistic that the US has more people in jail, prison and on probation than every other nation in the world combined is enough to indict every one of these filthy criminals.

Dear Gerry,

You ran up my real estate taxes when you were on the Fairfax BOS with your shell game of lowering home values and raising land values. Now as a congressman you run up the national debt and were a lackey for obamacare thus increasing the projected runup of six trillion dollars in ten years.

I will drop a penny in the gutter outside my house, you are welcome to it. I figure after your piece above begging for money you will know exactly where the gutter is located.

Margaret Sanger
Founder of Planned Parenthood

In Her Own Words


"The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
Margaret Sanger, Women and the New Race
(Eugenics Publ. Co., 1920, 1923)

Copyright © 2001 Diane S. Dew www.dianedew.com

Margaret Sanger (1883-1966)
On blacks, immigrants and indigents:
"...human weeds,' 'reckless breeders,' 'spawning... human beings who never should have been born." Margaret Sanger, Pivot of Civilization, referring to immigrants and poor people

On sterilization & racial purification:
Sanger believed that, for the purpose of racial "purification," couples should be rewarded who chose sterilization. Birth Control in America, The Career of Margaret Sanger, by David Kennedy, p. 117, quoting a 1923 Sanger speech.

On the right of married couples to bear children:
Couples should be required to submit applications to have a child, she wrote in her "Plan for Peace." Birth Control Review, April 1932

On the purpose of birth control:
The purpose in promoting birth control was "to create a race of thoroughbreds," she wrote in the Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p. 2)

On the rights of the handicapped and mentally ill, and racial minorities:
"More children from the fit, less from the unfit -- that is the chief aim of birth control." Birth Control Review, May 1919, p. 12

On religious convictions regarding sex outside of marriage:
"This book aims to answer the needs expressed in thousands on thousands of letters to me in the solution of marriage problems... Knowledge of sex truths frankly and plainly presented cannot possibly injure healthy, normal, young minds. Concealment, suppression, futile attempts to veil the unveilable - these work injury, as they seldom succeed and only render those who indulge in them ridiculous. For myself, I have full confidence in the cleanliness, the open-mindedness, the promise of the younger generation." Margaret Sanger, Happiness in Marriage (Bretano's, New York, 1927)

On the extermination of blacks:
"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," she said, "if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." Woman's Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, by Linda Gordon

On respecting the rights of the mentally ill:
In her "Plan for Peace," Sanger outlined her strategy for eradication of those she deemed "feebleminded." Among the steps included in her evil scheme were immigration restrictions; compulsory sterilization; segregation to a lifetime of farm work; etc. Birth Control Review, April 1932, p. 107

On adultery:
A woman's physical satisfaction was more important than any marriage vow, Sanger believed. Birth Control in America, p. 11

On marital sex:
"The marriage bed is the most degenerating influence in the social order," Sanger said. (p. 23) [Quite the opposite of God's view on the matter: "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13:4)

On abortion:
"Criminal' abortions arise from a perverted sex relationship under the stress of economic necessity, and their greatest frequency is among married women." The Woman Rebel - No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.

On the YMCA and YWCA:
"...brothels of the Spirit and morgues of Freedom!"), The Woman Rebel - No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.

On the Catholic Church's view of contraception:
"...enforce SUBJUGATION by TURNING WOMAN INTO A MERE INCUBATOR." The Woman Rebel - No Gods, No Masters, May 1914, Vol. 1, No. 3.

That's why he needs the boot. I've been looking at his prospective challengers, and have found Chris Perkins to be the most reasonable. He strikes me as eloquent, understands that Washington does need to fulfill a role, albeit a limited one that is less taxing on its hard working citizens and businesses. His experience in business and on the battlefield, just strike me as a stark contrast to all that Mr. Connolly stands for.

YOUR "BUDDY" BARRY SOTERO A/K/A BARRACK OBAMA WAS PART OF THE "REFORM" OF THE DODD-FRANK BILL - YOU MENTION IN YOUR ABOVE LETTER.... AWAKEN TO YOUR OWN EVIL..

Obama Signs Dodd-Frank Reform Bill

By MATTHEW G. LAMOREAUX
JULY 21, 2010

President Barack Obama on Wednesday signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law.



The act, which was approved by the House on June 30 before narrowly clearing the Senate last week, will create new regulations for companies that extend credit to consumers, exempt small public companies from Sarbanes-Oxley section 404(b), make auditors of broker-dealers subject to PCAOB regulation and change registration requirements for investment advisers (see “Financial Regulatory Reform Bill Clears Congress”).



The CPA profession successfully advocated for CPAs on a number of issues, including protections to maintain FASB’s independence and inclusion of a provision to ensure permanent funding for GASB, and resisted duplicative regulation by the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for CPAs’ usual and customary activities.



“The profession came together on this legislation to ensure that Congress recognized that CPAs are already appropriately regulated to protect the public,” said AICPA Chairman Robert R. Harris in a statement to the JofA. “The advocacy work done by the CPA profession, including the AICPA, state societies, firms and individual members was a great testament to the power of the profession’s voice, and it cemented the regard that Capitol Hill has for CPAs.”



A White House video available here highlights key provisions of the new law.



In the coming weeks and months, the JofA and AICPA technical groups will be preparing detailed coverage of the law, which includes lesser-known provisions as far reaching as investor financial literacy and corporate whistleblower protections.



—Matthew G. Lamoreaux (mlamoreaux@aicpa.org) is a JofA senior editor.

Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood:
The Eugenics Connection

By Angela Franks

Pro-lifers have frequently made the case that the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), the nation's largest abortion provider, has a tainted past, but it can be difficult to find the hard information to bolster these claims. Let's examine a little of PPFA's history and the current activities of this organization in order to arm ourselves for the fight against this force of the culture of death. In this article, we'll focus on its founder's fascination with eugenics and whether Margaret Sanger can be fairly labeled a racist.

Margaret Sanger and Eugenics

Planned Parenthood dates its founding from 1916. To understand Planned Parenthood, one must understand the ideology of Margaret Sanger.

While Planned Parenthood adamantly insists otherwise, it is clear that Sanger (1879-1966) was a eugenicist. She believed that birth control served a great eugenic purpose by stopping those she described as the genetically "unfit" from reproducing.

In her 1920 book, Woman and the New Race, Sanger explicitly called her work "nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or those who will become defectives." As she wrote in The Birth Control Review, "the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the overfertility of the mentally and physically defective."

Sanger did not rule out coercion if the "wrong" people had children. She wrote, "Possibly drastic and Spartan methods may be forced upon society if it continues complacently to encourage the chance and chaotic breeding that has resulted from our stupidly cruel sentimentalism." "Choice," indeed.

Planned Parenthood's History of Eugenics

Sanger was not the only eugenicist involved with Planned Parenthood. Alan Guttmacher, president of Planned Parenthood from 1962-1974, once told a Planned Parenthood gathering, "The mentally retarded and the mentally defective . . . insidiously are replacing the people of normal mentality."

Guttmacher, Sanger, and others in Planned Parenthood actively courted the involvement of eugenicists. In the 1920s, the "National Council" of her American Birth Control League had at least 23 persons involved at a prominent level in eugenics-nearly one-half the entire council!

The American Eugenic Society (AES) officially endorsed her group in 1932, and Sanger was a dues-paying member of the AES through the 1960s. Among those on her council was Lothrop Stoddard, a prominent racist who wrote The Rising Tide of Color Against White Supremacy and who also published eugenic articles in Sanger's magazine.

Was Margaret Sanger a Racist?

So, was Sanger also a racist, like Lothrop Stoddard? Sometimes pro-lifers quote editions of the magazine she founded, The Birth Control Review, in which officials from Nazi Germany were published. Others point to ominous-sounding quotes from her letters, including a letter written to Clarence J. Gamble, M.D., in which she wrote that "we don't want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. . . ."

But Sanger did not edit the Review during the time the Nazi articles appeared, and she frequently expressed disgust at German Fascism. The quote from the Gamble letter is also not definitive proof Sanger was a racist.

From the context, it appears as though she was (rather sloppily) explaining a misconception, not advocating racial cleansing. Moreover, she did not evince racist attitudes in other letters and speeches.

So it seems as though Sanger was a eugenicist, who wanted to restrict the "unfit" (the poor, those of supposedly lesser intelligence, or those with disabilties, etc.) from having children, but not a racist, because she did not consider members of other races "unfit" on account of their race.

So does she get off scot-free on the racism charge? Well, not quite. As we saw with the example of Lothrop Stoddard, Sanger worked with racists and did not make a move to check their racist thinking. More seriously, she also promoted a eugenic ideology that led in the end to the gas chambers. Once society starts judging who is "fit" and "unfit" and determining on that basis who should not reproduce, the inalienable value of every human being is quickly denied.

Implicit Eugenics

Of course, few if any current members of Planned Parenthood are likely to know the history just described or would agree with such bald eugenic claims. Nevertheless, the organization in fact advances the eugenic agenda, even if often unconsciously.

For example, Planned Parenthood has never ceased to target the poor and disabled, Sanger's favorite examples of the so-called "unfit." In the year 2000, almost 75% of PPFA clients had incomes at or below 150% of the poverty line. In 1997, PPFA's Plan of Action asserted that its "core clients" are "young women, low-income women, and women of color." Accordingly, although African-American women tend to be more pro-life than white women, they nonetheless have abortions at triple the rate of white women.

Similarly, those with disabilities feel the old eugenic bias of Planned Parenthood. A former employee of PPFA, who herself had disabilities, complained that her colleagues believed in the "need" to abort fetuses diagnosed with disabilities. "There was a feeling that they were bad babies," she told the New York Times. "There was a strong eugenics mentality that exhibited disdain, discomfort, and ignorance toward disabled babies."

That mentality is what drives the acceptance by PPFA of "search and destroy" abortions, in which amniocentesis is used to target unborn children who have disabilities. If you are an unborn baby near a Planned Parenthood clinic, any disability could be life-threatening.

That brings us back to where we began, to abortion. In 2002, PPFA performed 227,385 abortions, an increase of about 7% over 2001, during a time in which the total number of abortions in America decreased steadily. Planned Parenthood is the most successful abortion franchise in the country. A conservative estimate of the amount of revenue generated by these abortions would total over $79 million.

Pro-Lifers Say, "No Thanks"

So can pro-lifers fight such a behemoth? Yes, fortunately, through a lot of hard work. The Target department-store chain recently pledged to stop funding PPFA, in part because of pressure put on it by pro-life shareholders. City councils have often been successful in zoning out PPFA's clinics. States have passed laws to defund the organization and fought important political battles in this regard. Recently in Austin, Texas, PPFA could not find a contractor to build its new clinic, because a pro-life contractor organized a boycott.

Whatever weapon is used against Planned Parenthood, pro-lifers must not grow tired or discouraged. For we must be very clear in understanding this: we stand in the breach. The unborn, the disabled, the poor - - all depend on us for our action.

Gerry Connolly Displays Liberal, Elitist, Out Of Touch View

Says Iowa is ‘too white’ to matter in the electoral process.

Why do I get the feeling Barack Obama’s infamous “bitter clingers” remarks resonated strongly with Congressman Gerry Connolly? This is reverse racism by Congressman Connolly. I say this because, imagine if Congressman Connolly said South Carolina was ‘too black.’

Gerry Connolly @GerryConnolly

#IowaCaucus will draw fewer voters than local elections in Fairfax County. Little diversity in state. Media attention is just shy of obscene

Connolly is no longer representing the people of Northern Virginia or looking out for their best interests. He consistently votes AGAINST the US Constitution. Time for him to go. There are two constitutional conservatives running against him in 2012. Bye bye Jihad Gerry!

"If Medicare is underfunded, you can thank Exxon-Mobil and the Republicans"

Please tell us how this is going to happen. What does Exxon-Mobil have to do with Medicare. Exxon-Mobil is located in Fairfax and employs many residents of this county. Nice of you Gerry to slap them while they bring millions to this county. You are a clown.

Exxon-Mobil's HQ sit right outside Connolly's district and lots of their mid and mid-upper level managers live in his fricking Mantua neighborhood. Anyone who votes for this clown deserves the depression that his policies will create.

The Weasel just once again, proves that he is above even his citizens in his home base of Mantua.

The oil companies, are profitable, as is capitalism. Connolly wants to change that around, he's started, with him getting reelected consider that done. He will have a full retirement plan from Congress, and will do even more damage that already has been witnessed.

This is seriously just the beginning

Actually the place to start the finger pointing would be senior citizens. Reagan had the wisdom to understand that IF we were going to have a medicare prescription drug benefit, it would have to be paid for. He proposed that seniors pay for it with a surtax on income. Seniors revolted and the plan was shelved. When GW Bush resurrected the plan he did so without providing a source of funding adequate to cover the cost.
