You know, we've been at this RaisingKaine thing for 8 months now, and we've collected a whole bunch of great material on Jerry Kilgore. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to condense all the reasons NOT to vote for Jerry Kilgore into an easy-to-read "Top 25" list. But then I thought, that's too many in one shot. So, instead, I've started listing a reason per day, counting down -- David Letterman style - to #1 in early October. Anyway, here's reason #18!
18) Kilgore refuses to take a stand on Confederate History and Heritage Month, either for it or against it. He has stated that we "blow [the Confederate flag issue] out of proportion." He has also tried to weasel his way out of the issue by making the lame comment that he would support something that recognizes "everyone who lived during the Civil War.? Yeah, slaves, slave owners, Union troops, Confederate troops, Abe Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Grant, Sherman, Lee...EVERYONE who lived back then. On this issue, as on so many others, Jerry Kilgore is not a leader. Never has been. Never will be.
