The Virginia U.S. Senate race will be one of the closest this November. In fact, it may be closer than the 2006 senate race that ended with Jim Webb defeating incumbent George Allen by less than 10,000 votes. Six years later, Allen seeks to resurrect his political career, but former DNC chair and Virginia governor Tim Kaine stands in his way. However, as DNC chair, Kaine advocated for most of the president’s disastrous economic policies. As a result, the Virginia chapter of Americans for Prosperity is highlighting Mr. Kaine’s liberal tendencies when it comes to limited government and economic freedom and holding a series of events throughout the state exposing the real Tim Kaine. On their website, which has an accompanying video, AFP Virginia states that:
Tim Kaine has supported government run health care, supported tax increases for Virginia citizens, inherited $1.2 billion in surplus, and left Virginians with a $4.2 billion budget shortfall, increased debt by nearly 50%, and stood by Obama’s failed policies. If you agree that Tim Kaine’s policies have hurt Virginia, please sign our petition below or come out to our of our events across Virginia, and let your voice be heard.
Interesting. But the Al Franken/Norm Coleman election was much closer, give or take 200 or so votes either way, counting dead people, felons and illegal aliens and what not.
