Jim Webb

[MADem]

114. They both quit, didn't they?

Winners never quit, and quitters never win? I don't think much of people who make a commitment and then don't see it through. He had to go through an entire Senate "advise and consent" process to be elevated to SECNAV, and he quit in a fit of pique. It was a very IMMATURE thing to do, frankly.


But I didn't "compare" the two, I merely indicated a similarity in that one particular aspect. That's like accusing me of "comparing" Al Gore with George Bush because they both attended a school at the Harvard University. So let us not bandy about "You lost your credibility" comments, because I'll reply with "You haven't done your homework."

You like Webb's ideas? And you call yourself "RichGirl?" Well, rich girl, he's no friend to women, he gets an "A" from the NRA, and if you're actually rich, girl, he wants to tax you like Depardieu in France (remember him? He ran to Russia to avoid paying those taxes). Of course, the GOP in Congress will stop that dead--you can't make that kind of thing happen with an executive order (remember the first lesson of allocations--ALL appropriations must begin in the HOUSE, and so long as the GOP have the House, controlling Ways and Means, you can kiss that bit goodbye). But oh, it sounds real good to Joe Lunchbucket, doesn't it? A promise and a declaration that he'll never have to make good on--what could be easier?

If you looked at "the whole person" and you actually don't see a few problems with this guy, you either don't know him very well, or you clearly don't fall within the liberal spectrum of the Democratic Party...that's not an insult or an accusation, that's just plain fact. This guy is two notches off "moderate Republican." He's a conservative Democrat who likes a large standing military. He's in no hurry to see gay marriage be the law of the land across the nation, and he doesn't like women in combat. This is the guy you like, as a woman in the 21st Century? Really?

If you want to get an insight into how he regards interactions between men and women, read some of his novels. You just may not come away with quite such a sanguine POV.
