Now, that's a little more accurate and provable than "fascist". :) And no, he's not a Southerner; we don't have that requirement in the Virginia constitution. I hadn't heard the term "carpet bagger" outside of history books about the Reconstruction period, though. :)

Just curious Linda, did you grow up here?

Of course there's no requirement that the Governor be a southernor. But there's a code of honor when he pretends to be a southernor.

Mark Warner has long been described as a carpet-bagger, because he came here for one reason - political opportunity.

Then I don't know what you've been paying attention to - the term was even used with Hillary when she ran for Senator from NY.

I've heard the term all my life - in and out of history class.
This ain't a new thing.

You should get out more.

Here's an idea for you ~ get Warner on the carpet and ask him what he thinks of the fence being built in Israel to keep out terrorists.

If he waffles, you'll know he's publicly gone over to the Islamofascists, just like all the Democrat powerbrokers he will have to deal with to run for President.
