What a poorly written response.  I guess I shouldn't expect anything better from someone who wrote the Marshall-Newman Amendment.

..even out responding to progressive bloggers anyways. He commented on my site a few weeks ago on a piece I did about Fimian.

unlike many Republican office-holders---- is he worried, curious, or doing research?, maybe going to start his own blog? Does he have a point about his reflecting the attitudes of his parishoners, I mean, constituents?

You mean "his male parishoners, er, constituents".

Sounds like a dare to me.

Gah!  It pisses me off beyond words that he is still the delegate for the district I happen to live in.  We must get presidential election turnout in a state election if that is what it takes to throw Marshall out of office.

He brings us all in the state great shame.

Bob Marshall doesn't represent your values? My, my. Let's put him out to pasture.

There are plenty of people in office who do not share my values; and that is fine - so long as they don't try to force their values on me from their positions of power.

Bob Marshall would have all Virginians live according only to his perception of his god's law; that I have a problem with.

Marshall wants to tell me what I can and cannot do in my bedroom.
He has no tolerance for alternative lifestyles.
He has no tolerance for religions other than his own.
He has campaigned to write in-equality into our state constitution.
He wastes time and tax-payer money with hundreds of bills even fellow legislators of his own party do not agree with.
He equates the G.I. Bill with welfare (a point of view I am doubly offended by as I was ineligible for either G.I. Bill when I enlisted, I was TAP from the Reagan era).
Bob Marshall and Dick Black (who has not been gone that long folks) would fight abortion by passing laws criminalizing not just abortions and the medical doctors who perform them, but birth control itself.  Isn't birth control preventing the abortions?  Not according to side-show Bob.

When no one would run against Bob Marshall (2003) I wrote in "Sunny Chapman" in opposition to his abhorrent policies and protesting his being able to run unopposed.  When Bruce Roemmelt ran against Marshall, I volunteered and worked and donated to the Roemmelt campaigns in 2005 and 2007.

I will continue to work to unseat this embarrassment in our assembly, and I ask ALL VIRGINIANS to join me, not just those in the 13th district.  We need to pull together and get rid of Bob Marshall.

Yes, Albo is bad; and so is Frederick (didn't he pledge to give up his seat when he became chair of the RPV?)...  heck the General Assembly is positively full of offensive buffoons who are puffed up with pride and willfully refuse to cooperate with reason from our moderate (sometimes disappointingly so) governors and senators.  However, I assert that no delegate in the house is more in need of replacing than Delegate Robert "Bob" Marshall of the 13th district.

This is the house member author of the horrible Marshall-Neumann amendment folks.  Please help us retire Delegate Marshall.

from Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling, Ken Cuccinelli etc?  Just thought I'd throw that out there. :)

They are more vulnerable in their offices.

Yes, I agree with you on the comparative scale of evil, Cuccinelli is just as bad; and we need to work hard to see him to the curb too.   Janet nearly did it last election.

McDonnell and Bolling are horrible, not nearly the same league as Cuccinelli and Marshall.  Heck, Bolling has occasionally (though it does not come to mind) been mature and willing to have a rational discussion.

Your point is taken though - and you are right.

Measure for Measure, we have the state senate (barely) and Cuccinelli is vulnerable as Janet showed us in 2007.  The problem with Marshall is that we do not have the state house of delegates.

McDonnell will likely lose in 2009.  Bolling may become enemy number one; but he's not there yet.

n/t

Out and about and trolling on the Democratic blogs.  This guy is the evangelical christian version of a Taliban street captain.  When Democrats out that way finally knock this guy off - his winning margins have been getting progressively smaller - I'll be happy as a clam.  As for now, I'm just glad I live a long ways away from him.  

Yours or his?

Mine don't include absentee votes, since they're not broken out by precinct in the State Board of Elections data set. Either way, it's about a 50/50 split between Obama and McCain in Marshall's house district.

We need sideshow Bob to be in the news, embarrassing himself regularly all year long so the voters in the 13th finally either:

1) wake up to the lunacy of their delegate and switch their votes to an opponent

2) turn out in numbers like we saw last Tuesday (Obama election) instead of the usual voter apathy during Virginia's odd-year state elections.  It is staggering how many more people turned out this year than last; we could easily have won if we'd only got turnout higher.

The more news the better.
