Flip Flop Creigh: ABC Stores and Privatization

Wow, what a difference a few months make for Creigh Deeds! In July 2009, Deeds said he would be open to the sale of ABC stores throughout the Commonwealth and allow for the privatization of alcohol sales to help generate revenue (Source: The Washington Post). Then, one month later, Deeds said he was against the sale of the ABC stores, because it is not a viable option, and now, after an appearance on WTOP’s Politics Program with Mark Plotkin, Deeds stated his support of privatizing ABC stores. You can listen to the clip here.

Can we trust a leader who flip flops on issues that will help generate revenue for Virginia without raising taxes? Again, the answer is no. We need a strong leader, who will not stray from his positions on getting the economy in Virginia back on track.
