Krystal Ball
Edited on Sun Sep-26-10 04:10 PM by underpants
I grew up in this oddly configured Congressional district


I did NOT know that this was our nominee. She seems to be particularly interesting.

Can't vote in "The County" anymore but if I could of course I would

My name is Krystal Ball and I am an entrepreneur, software designer, and CPA running for Congress to bring a fresh perspective on fiscal responsibility to Washington. Before any of that though, I am the daughter of Ed and Rose Marie, wife of Jonathan, and mother of Ella Marie.

As a certified public accountant, I understand that balancing the budget is something that Virginia families and businesses face every day. I think it’s time our government does the same. I know how to eliminate wasteful spending by auditing and streamlining government agencies because I’ve directed a project that reformed our Federal courts criminal/civil accounting system. I’ll fight to cut Congress’ pay, work toward a lifetime ban on lobbying for members of Congress, and I’ll take on the big banks and Wall Street companies to stop the bailouts and make sure every taxpayer dollar given to them comes back to us.

and the logo

1. An unfortunate name.
And she wants to "fight to cut Congress’ pay, work toward a lifetime ban on lobbying for members of Congress, and I’ll take on the big banks and Wall Street companies to stop the bailouts and make sure every taxpayer dollar given to them comes back to us."

Really? Cutting Congressional pay to balance the budget? That's like telling employees to cut down on pencils and Post-it notes to avoid bankruptcy.

Jesus H. Christ, these people reaallyy think we're stupid.

And she is a Democrat?

This is not the kind of Democrat I would like to support.

I wish you had a better choice, underpants. Wow.

4. I know. I wonder what her parents were thinking when
they picked out her name. I had a friend once who dated a guy named Peter Stiff.

2. I hate to think that important decisions would be made by using a krystal ball.
