A STORY ABOUT THE #2 DELEGATE RACE IN THE COMMONWEALTHSouth of Fairfax County, there is a House of Delegates district that votes overwhelmingly Democratic most of the time. Apparently, the GOP faithful also think its a place with marshmellow trees and marmalade skies with rivers of chocolate and where money grows on trees.
This GOP utopia is a place where you never have to pay for anything and debt never has to be repaid. Its neighboring lands are represented by the three Sith Lords known as Darth Fredericks, Darth Lingamfelter and Darth Marshall who are fond of promising their loyal subjects that they can have their cake and eat it too while pushing undocumented immigrants out of their communities, criminalizing abortion, and making sure every citizen has the right to arm themselves with submachine guns (to shoot up the marshmellows real good). Meanwhile, the Emperor/Evil Eye (Lord Sauron aka Bill Howell)) watches his minions from his tower across the Rappahannock in Fredericksburg.
But now that Del. Michelle McQuigg has decided to move on, there is an opportunity to admit a new pledge to the Dark Side. His name is Faisal Gill and he's a red blooded true believer.
If you didn't have time to listen to his 51st District Conventeion speech, listen now (CLICK HERE TO LISTEN), here's a summary:
* Gill worked in the General Counsel's Office at the White House and at the Department of Homeland Security. He says he wants to take "his experience" there and use it in the Virginia House of Delegates. God help us.
* He cites his mentors as being Sen. Cuccinelli and Del. Lingamfelter?
* He wants to fight for "family values?"
* He says we need more lanes on I-95 because 1 lane moves as many people as a Metro line and costs much less.
* He wants to expand "Omniride."
BUT --- HOW DOES THE PADOWAN PROPOSE TO FUND HIS AMBITIOUS AGENDA? Well...
* He says we shouldn't pay for thinks like college buildings or $42M biotech campuses when we have roads that need funding. He says "that $42M can fix our road problem." (What are they going to do at a biotech campus anyway, play with stem cells?)
* "The only way to fix transportation is to use the General Fund to pay for transportation." (Fire all the teachers, firefighters, and cops to pay for more lanes, that's what I always say!)
* "Anything else is tax and spend politics," preaches Mr. Gill to the choir. (See in Dumfries they harvest dollar bills in the tidal flats at low tide)
* As for undocumented workers he his position is "Illegal is illegal is illegal is illegal." (just so we know where he stands on their legal status.) He goes on to say "I will not support any state benefits to illegals." (It is a little clear where he stands on making church volunteers felons for giving blankets and food to undocumented workers).
* "I'm very pro-Second Amendment."
* "I'm 100% 'pro-life' from conception to natural death" (Note that he's not 100% pro-life when it comes to unnatural death). "I'm going to ensure every woman has a sonogram before she has an abortion. That's my first legislative priority."
* "I debated the only open homosexual member of the House of Delegates. I don't back down from a fight."
Now if you listen to the end of the speech very carefully during the cheers, you can hear Cheech sitting in the back saying "Damn. (cough) That no tax stuff is some gooooood (cough) sh!@*?t, No one in (cough) Prince William (cough) (cough) County has to pay for anything, dude." Then you can hear Chong say "Huh.. what? Did you say Gill likes free sonograms? Cool dude."
In summary, if you think the White House Counsel has done a good job, if you think we have too many teachers, firefighters, and police officers, if your first legislative priority - before transportion, schools, or the environment - is pre-abortion sonograms - vote Gill. You deserve exactly what you've got coming to you - nothing now and a huge bill for your kids.
