Distortions = Signs of Desperation

Jody Wagner still can’t get the facts right, as she continues to attack Bill Bolling for being a health insurance executive and on the meeting attendance issue. These attacks are nothing but desperation from Wagner in the days up to the election and need to be dispelled. Enter the truth squad.

Wagner was asked about the public option by Not Larry Sabato and whether or not, she supports the measure. Wagner supports public option, but then attacks Bolling for being a health insurance executive.

Jody then took the opportunity to draw a sharp contrast with the record of incumbent Lt. Governor Bill Bolling. It’s worth noting that Virginia Lt. Governor is a part time position- and Bolling also serves as an insurance company executive by day.

Here’s some clarification for Wagner:

Bolling is not a health care insurance executive, and he is not employed by a health insurance company. Rather, Bolling sells property and casualty insurance. He represents his clients and protects their interests, not insurance companies.

Now, here’s another issue that Wagner keeps focusing on, just like a broken record, and that is Bolling’s meeting attendance record. Wagner continues to hit on the fact that Bolling has missed GACRE meetings. Bolling does not serve on this committee, thus meaning that he is not obligated to be at these meetings. In fact, Bolling has attended 219 of 281 meetings (78%) of his Boards and Commissions Meetings, State Senate sessions and meetings of the Attorney General’s Regulatory and Government Reform Task Force, Working Group on Infrastructure, and National Lieutenant Governor’s Association. Bolling has been an active Lieutenant Governor, who has received scores of pro-business endorsements, the NRA and VCDL endorsements, Fraternal Order of Police, the Virginia Police Benevolent Society, and others.

Just another sign of desperation from Lieutenant Governor’s Mansion Fantasyland.
