Things are getting a little heated
At a recent Democratic Governor’s Forum in Danville recently, there was a smackdown of epic proportions over whether or not Terry McAuliffe would support offshore drilling. In this video, Brian Moran simply calls McAuliffe out for his lack of silence on whether he supports offshore drilling. This is where things really start to get heated. McAuliffe starts attacking Moran on supporting legislation that would increase the development of natural gas. Watch the drama unfold.
Now, let the festivities begin as the Democrats are eating themselves alive.
Walking the Picket Lines…Nothing New with the Dems
Virginia is a right-to-work state with a good reputation for the business community. In fact, many businesses are seeking to relocate their businesses to Virginia due to the excellent environment. This might change if one of the following happens: a) the Card Check bill is passed in Congress and signed into law by President Obama, or b) if the Democrats win victory in Virginia. Well, all three Democrat candidates for Governor and one Democrat candidate for Lieutenant Governor love the unions so much that they appeared at a picket line with food and some even walked with the striking union members. They made speeches, and the most ironic thing was that this all took place at a hotel chain that recently relocated to Virginia.
You see, workers are afforded the freedom to choose to join or abstain from being part of a union in Virginia. This freedom allows one to decide whether they have to squander away a portion of their income in dues or have the money available to save or spend in this difficult economic environment. When we think of who will best represent the Commonwealth of Virginia, we know that the GOP has a better record on a conducive business environment with Bob McDonnell and Bill Bolling. Both candidates will stand strong for Virginia’s Right to Work Law and believe in continuing Virginia’s record as a great place for business.
