Is there an answer for #40 above?

Didn’t see you sneak in. Trying to be cute AND invisible I see! Get it? Are you making a prediction or are you personally going to work your special magic to fix the election as you see it? Please inform us now so that later you can receive the praise and gratitude you would so richly deserve.

I don’t know. It feels like the fulminations we got from our GOP “leaders” in 2006 about “Speaker Pelosi.”

Translated: You BETTER vote for us, no matter what we have done.

I read somewhere that Vern is getting a new issues page up because he thinks it focuses on Wolf too much. I hope he does it soon!

-Johnny Law

His platform clearly states that he is a Constitutional Republican, basing his decisions off of what the Constitution outlines. Thus, as I overheard him tell voters at the Gun Show, he firmly believes in the Right to keep and bear arms. Not just because it sounds good to him, but because it is clearly outlined in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. He will vote in support of any bill that protects and assures this Right and against any bill that infringes upon it. - That’s how he approaches the entire Bill of Rights.

As far as spending is concerned, I have heard Vern read sections straight out of the Constitution to help explain where he stands on the issue, which solely encompasses defense and infrastructure. “Journey Through Hallowed Ground” certainly cannot be found anywhere within the Constitution.

Furthermore, as Vern stated in his interview with the Loudoun Times Mirror, “‘Your oath as a congressman,’ he said, ‘is not to get as much money for your district as possible.’” - I am sure that Vern would be more than happy to take his copy of the Constitution out of his front pocket and read line for line what the Oath actually does say, as he did for me. - It’s quite enlightening.

As far as experience is concerned, it is no small thing that Vern has spent years as an economic and financial advisor to the US Government and several foreign governments. He has even testified as an expert before Congress on bankruptcy. He is who Congress, which includes Frank Wolf, listen to for decision making on many financial and economic issues.

If anyone is unaware of what the Constitution states or the intention of its writers, ask Vern. - He knows.

“That is what campaigns are, or at least should be, about. - The issues!”

Precisely !!! The issues are more than “Frank did this, Frank voted this way on this”.

Examples of what we need to hear from Vern :

Frank Wolf has signed the discharge petition for the SAVE Act. What would Vern have done ?

Frank Wolf procured funding to allow the startup of a sorely needed regional task force on gang violence. Would Vern have done this ? Will he work to procure necessary funding to keep this program going ?

How would Vern vote if the assault weapons ban comes back to the House floor ?

How would Vern vote if handgun registration is brought to the House floor ?

How would Vern vote if the Brady requirement of a waiting period for firearms purchases comes back ?

Would Vern vote to continue the Bush tax cuts ?

Why does Vern believe voting to prohibit Internet gambling is the wrong vote ?

What does Vern feel can be done in Congress to adequately define the jurisdiction clause of the 14th Amendment ?

Nation building is an unfortunate side effect of any war. How does Vern propose that we can fight a war, and fight to win, w/o a plan for reconstruction ?

Wolf’s earmarks, what exactly were they ? Is it Vern’s view that they were necessary (like the anti-gang funding), or unnecessary for our area ?

Frank has 26 years of experience in the House. What does Vern bring that will offset the loss of this ?

If Vern feels Wolf’s NCLB vote was the wrong one, why ? What alternatives would Vern propose ?

Sorry if I am seeming overly pragmatic. But my vote doesn’t come cheap. I am sure you agree that it shouldn’t.

Vern McKinley will have to talk about the issues. He must address exactly how he and Wolf disagree. He must give voters a reason to vote for him over the long term establishment.

Frank Wolf should be forced to defend how he voted, he’s a public official. - That is how we keep them accountable. If he did right in all his votes, then let him say so.

Vern McKinley does have a case. A strong one. Labeling his case as “negative” campaigning for talking about the issues is evidence of an attempt to hide a poor record.
