if bise wasn’t a shill for the repub party why didn’t they run someone against him in a dist the shrieking folks say is SO repub in brand?  why not moore running against bise? or was moore ordered to not challenge bise? friend griffin why not stand for election?

unless dist 2 is not really that repub (blind repub) but more votes for the cand and alot of times that happens to be a republican.

the truth is the prc considered bise friendly and he did nothing to upset them so they wouldn’t run anyone against him.  the reason his face was read was because he was holding his nose.  while that is not a nom it is as close to one as poss without the icky publicness.  else moore would have taken his goldwater-ness to the county board. bise played them like a fiddle and they bought his “incumbency” as a fix.  only trick was bise hadn’t been challenged in 03 and couldn’t campaign very eff.  he’d only barely beaten mcwaters in 99 and she was right bad as a candidate and supervisor but you new folks don’t know that.  she cost us all some money.

ha! and to hear bise has reinhart signs is even better.  need to get east and see that.

in 07 the pow rep comm misread dist 2, bise, the dist 5 nom (and poss dist 5 itself), dist 3 and dist 1 and they are still smarting.

they have been misreading for some time since…..wrt the prc, what can anyone point to demonstrating any above avg and sustainable political prowess?  Ware? Watkins? A couple folks on the school board who are powerless to get meeting minutes online? A commonwealth’s attorney who can’t wait to have to go non-partisan in state govt?

as a cty that went the highest for gilmore and one of 5 for mccain, seems the pow rep comm should have a little more to show for itself.

So I mispelled one word…um ok.

You’re going back to your insults, denegrading comments and misleading information. “The republican got less than 30% of the vote in a 3 way race.”

There was NO Republican in the race, it was a 3 way race and your boy LOST with well under a majority as well, TWICE defeated if I am not mistaken. Didn’t he run and lose to Bise in the elecetion before 07 ?

The last Board had ONE republican and PC had ONE Republican. This board has ONE republican and ZERO conservatives.

I realize that you can’t help yourself but to be nasty and demeaning. At least have some idea of what you are talking about please ?

Let me slow down for you, because AGAIN, you are so busy being nasty and demeaning (true to yourself) it’s NOT about that. It’s not about party ID. It’s been said and repeated, apparently you are either too dense, partisan or stupid to get that. Probably all of the above.

WOW! A Republican supervisor voted his conscious and did what he thought was right and not what his party told him to do, and this is a bad thing?  I am happy that Tucker as a Republican put party labels aside and chose who he thought was the best person for the job.  That’s what we hope all our elected officials would do.  And as for the lack of “transparency” and “democracy,” the Board did exactly what the governor of most states are called upon to do when a senator unexpectedly dies in office.  The Board used their judgment to make a tough decision.  Isn’t that why we have a REPRESENTATIVE democracy?  We don’t expect the governor to submit a list of nominees and hold “public comment hearings” on who he/she thinks should take over the senate seat.  The Board is following this precedent.  It is what had to be done in a rare circumstance such as this.  We as District 2 voters will have our voice heard soon enough.

Why do you think Bise was a republican.  The man has a Reinhart sign in his front year, never ran as a republican and defeated a republican to win the seat.

I wish people would get their facts straight, before talking.  Like the old saying:  It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open our mouth and remove all doubt.

it sure takes some oddasity [sic] to say that because that is not what i saw last thursday night.

besides, less than 30% of the district 2 electorate in 2007 voted for the republican candidate, Bise.  other years and offices can’t totally trump that.  furthermore, tucker was elected in a majority Democratic district by almost all vote tallies since 1965, in fact he probably lost votes in district 5 becuase of the R label.  party label success at the polls means virtually nothing except in the broadest terms of public sentiment, why else is the post election year curse bandied about?  or how else can obama taking VA in 2008 be explained?

by the way, spelling audacity as oddasity is not just a failure of significant typographic and spelling proporations but also a significant misunderstanding of the meaning of the word as its meaning is inherent to its spelling.  it and enfuriate [sic] should be looked up before usage in the future.

this is not normally a problem for me except when i am called out by someone who apparently has no job and can’t spell.

I disagree with the decision by ALL the members of the board, let’s not call out just one because he has a R after his name.

Your condescending tone and language once again highlight the arrogance which again…IS the problem on all sides of the aisle. The “rabble” and the people who enable politicians to gain nomination from their party are the bosses in this country, not the other way around. I know that many in the current administration “look to Mao for guidance”, but the left hasn’t completely neutered everyone who dissents YET

Seriously, you are not nearly skilled enough at the English language or with your typing skills to be condescending to anyone. Could you at least capitalize sentences so our eyes won’t bleed ?

I think Tucker did what he felt was the right thing, though I disagree, he also had the stones to come to the GOP meeting and take the heat. You can’t always say that about everyone.

Time will tell if Bustos is willing to do the same, he HAS been put in a very difficult position. How to keep his base happy and not enfuriate an already irate constituency who is 180 degrees at odds with his base.

We currently have a President who attacks any citizen, group, or network that dares disagree with him and does all the fluff interviews with everyone else, I truly hope Mr. Bustos is better than that.

and so we wait for the know-it-all posters to digest that one….

uh, obama just said republicans do what they are told…sounds like the republican poster expected tucker to do what he was told by the unelected leaders of the pow republican committee.  does that mean the poster and obama agree and are right?

tucker was a man of great, vaunted integrity until he crossed the party leaders while thinking for himself it sounds like…..now he is just a chump?  how ironic.

that was what was cool about Bush and terrible about Obama.

once you get elected you do what you see is best when that is your job.  you don’t continue to campaign or worry about the pollster du jour.  bush acted like a leader and not a weathervane.  maybe so did tucker.

that is why presisdential, guv, senate terms are so long.  so there is time for folks to see the wisdom of decisions rather than knee-jerk emotional reactions prevailing from the mobs.

that is why delegate and representatives are 2 years.  they cannot drift too far from the rabble….

I don’t understand why the republican supervisor would want to put a democrat on the supervisors. Makes no sense. I’m ticked about it. Don’t know why Carson Tucker did that.  I thought he was a republican.  That’s what he was in the election at least I thought so. Why would he want to push a democrat on the board any way?

Since your are promoting the UGG Boot, your concerns must be more with the Chineese importers than the citizens in Powhatan.  This whole issue is a shame and the cover-ups and personal agenda issues in this is transparent.  What harm would it have been to ask the public to submit a resume and give them a 1 week deadline?  That would have been the fair and honest approach.  Tell me, what would 1 week have done to destroy the progress of the BOS? By George…I believe this is a “Spin Zone” issue. You folks must be drinking too much Kool-Aid!

Angry…...got buy some of those ugg boots. They will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
