Blah. If you're reading this, you're probably aware of the specific split in the candidates' vote totals. Our Democrats rejected Senator John Edwards and General Wesley K. Clark, giving an outright majority to that Northeastern nitwit John Kerry.
I'm embarrassed for my Commonwealth. On top of that, I heard an ad today on the radio for higher taxes from some bunch of nitwits. They wanted "increased funding" and told us to support either Governor M.R. Warner's or Senator John Chichester's plans for "enhanced revenue". This of course means higher or broader taxation. Broader taxation is acceptable if a) it doesn't infringe upon traditionally non-taxed areas, b) comes with reductions in the existing tax structure, and c) is part of fiscal responsibility, i.e. spending cuts. Given the identity of the people pushing this "revenue enhancement", I am not particularly optimistic that any of those three factors mentioned above would be present if they got their way.
Needless to say, this Tuesday hasn't done much for my opinion of Virginia Democrats. Whatever happened to Harry Flood Byrd and pay as you go?
