Tom Davis Doesn't Get It

Tom must have missed that day in Middle School when the teacher explains you can't answer a question, by using the question.  See the recent Connection Newspaper candidate bio on Tom Davis.

9. While the economy has grown in the last five years, the wages of middle- and low-income Americans has stagnated. How would you address the income disparity between the very wealthy and the rest of the working America?

The best policies to improve incomes are those that promote economic growth

Tom, the question states that economic growth has occured, but incomes have stagnated.

Then there is this little nugget

For the following questions, please respond with a yes or no answer.

14. Do you believe that Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 decision that overturned state laws banning abortion, should be overturned?

This is a judicial decision, but I do not support amending the Constitution to overturn Roe; however, I do support a ban on partial birth abortions, late term abortions, and federal funding of abortions.

  Tom, where is the yes or no?

Does anyone else find this amusing?

If Tom Davis can't fill out a simple questionare, how can he be an effective congressman?

Here is Andy's Candidate Bio


Davis: "Mistakes were made" (Andrea Chamblee - 10/20/2006 6:01:45 PM)
From the first question!  Another "non-denial denial"

1. Was the Iraq war a mistake? Why or why not?

The pertinent question regarding Iraq is not whether the war was a mistake, but rather what we should do now. That said, we know mistakes were made....



COMMENT HIDDEN (littlepunk - 10/20/2006 6:55:12 PM)


Davis is now Married to the "Non-Mistress" (Smith is Blue - 10/20/2006 8:31:27 PM)

DCCC has it rated at 87%.  Also, I noticed that when Andy hit Tom hard on the Schiavo case, and how Tom was so ingrained in the GOP hypocrisy that he actually issued the subpoena.

Tom's response was to point out that Michael Schiavo had moved on and was "living with another woman".

Let's look at some numbers, just for fun, keeping in mind Davis divorced his first wife in 2003, so why is he sending all this money to his “non-mistress”?

From 1997-20002 Tom’s Virginia Pac gave $92,042 to Jean Marie.

NRCC gave $55,616 from 1997-2001, while Tom was Chair.  Highest single donation to any candidate other then Gilmore for Gov. since 1997 (per VPAP)



Michael Schaivo "moved on" after 10 years (Andrea Chamblee - 10/21/2006 9:19:08 PM)
Terri Schiavo collapsed in 1990.  She was diagnosed in a persistent vegitative state about 3 years later.  Michael didn't petition to remove her from support until another 5 years later.  He even went to nursing school so he could care for her. He didn't get engaged until 2000, according to court records, and they didn't have children until 2002. Michael Schiavo earned a right to happiness with his current wife the hard way, certainly a harder way than Tom Davis.


Who gets it and who doesn't (myoldkyhmdem - 10/21/2006 12:55:54 PM)
Among other things, I would like to point out that Hurst doesn't compare himself to Jesus. 


this is such a laughable comment (littlepunk - 10/21/2006 9:22:10 PM)
that's a 40-year old lbj joke.  somebody picked it up here after the first debate.


What is truly laughable (myoldkyhmdem - 10/22/2006 1:57:43 AM)
Yes, anyone who knows their historical political quotes knows that Tommy D. recycled LBJ rather than coming up with something original.  Tommy D. does a lot of recycling...that is why we never hear anything original from him...we hear his party's line and we hear a list of what he DID (past tense) for all us lucky folks in the 11th District.  Repeat after me...Tom Davis solved our traffic problems, saved us from future terrorists, got the Lorton prison closed, fought for NOVA families (except for the ones he doesn't believe have the right to be recognized legally as family)etc...

It gets better...next time we hear from Tommy D. we get these Attack Ad fliers in the mail - they are full of fear mongering and tell me how dangerous his opponent is and how his opponent actually defends - I find it almost too horrible to think - criminals...you know like girls who rob multiple liquor stores...

I guess these attack ad fliers are supposed to take our minds off the fact that we haven't heard a word from him about his agenda for the Future... somebody fact check for me and see if we still have the right to representation if we are accused of a crime and get back to me, ok?

Where is Davis' vision for the 11th District??
Tom Davis'vision is one of his own personal power and financial gain crumbling when Andrew Hurst wins this election and takes back this congressional seat for the people of the 11th District.

Laugh all you want, but Andrew Hurst isn't full of recycled quotes...he will in both word and deed work to make a real difference in the lives of all people living in the 11th District.  Andrew Hurst has a vision for the  11th District and for our Country!  He has clearly articulated this vision and will restore the faith of people in elected officials.



Davis votes with Bush 90% of the time (Andrea Chamblee - 10/21/2006 9:24:50 PM)
Are you saying it's okay to vote the GOP party line - not a rationale GOP party line but this leadership's spending, terrorizing, war-mongering, lobbyist-friendly, ethics challenged policies - 80% of the time? If Davis did vote with Bush 89+% of the time, would that be okay? Even if it's fine, should Davis lie to his constituents about it and say it's only 60 or 80%?
