Anti-tax 'purists' to shun Kilgore

Some Virginia anti-tax activists and others are so frustrated with Republican candidate Jerry W. Kilgore that they are vowing not to vote in the governor's race.

These voters say Mr. Kilgore has alienated them and others in his conservative base because he is playing to centrist voters on taxes and social issues.

...snip...

Mr. Kilgore could also lose votes from the Virginia Citizens Defense League, which typically supports Republican candidates.

Members say they are dissatisfied with Mr. Kilgore, who has captured the coveted National Rifle Association (NRA) endorsement, because he has ignored their grass-roots group over the course of the campaign and has snubbed their president.

Don't you just love conservative activists with the strength of their convictions?

1. Governor Kaine is going to do good things for Virginia.

2. The anti-tax folks are a bunch of nutcases.

They need to stay in their houses and not use anything tax supported, so they can remain purists. They want everything, and want to pay for nothing. Their abandoning of Kilgore should be a fine lesson for people of any party in what happens when you apply your narrow vision to a candidate.. your party loses. Good for us, in THIS case.

3. I can't stand the campaign he's running.

Kaine this, Kaine that, Kaine loves Hitler, Kaine makes the baby Jesus cry...etc. etc. etc.

4. He was even shunned by Rove and Bush.....

...or vice versa :shrug: It's hard to tell who the "good guys" are on the dark side anymore.

5. There are no good guys left on the dark side...

...they ran them off years ago. There are only "evil" and "despicable" reThugs left. Oh and the kool aid drinkers...
