Where is the Mainstream Media?

Digging thru Gov McDonnell's trash.

Where is the Mainstream Media?

It got covered in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and I'm pretty sure at least the political page of the Post covered it. Also heard it on WRVA news.

Gov. McD is doing an outstanding job here. He has taken heat from the usual suspects for some ballsy budget cuts, but, as promised, he’s getting control of the state’s budget.

Basic, common-sense conservatism. It’s not that hard.

turn the VA budget from a potential $4billion deficit, to a surplus if the projected $1.7 billion

Yeah, but the governor must have done it by denying or closing down services to the elderly or the dying or the helpless children. /sarc

Virginia imposed a furlough on all state employees last month. For ONE day...and the savings to the state was in the millions. But..you should have heard some of the employees complain about losing a day's pay.

Those complaining the loudest were the same liberal government employees who elected Obama and still support him. The same who swallowed his words about “Share the Wealth” and thought that meant all their non working, lazy, welfare recipient friends, and daughters with illegitimate babies would get more money. Those people now furloughed for ONE DAY complained about the governor saving the state money and sharing the wealth. ROFLOL....Like all liberals...sharing is OK...as long as it is the rich who share, not any of the people who voted for Obama. It is so ludicrous.

Hooray for Gov. McDonnell. He is a guiding light in a very dark time.
