Virginia Politics-Tim Kaine-If I lie, will you hold it against me?
This is unreal. I am a huge Allen fan. He was a great leader and his comments on this ring true.
- “The Washington Post report today must be disturbing to any person who believes in honest government and who cherishes the Virginia way.
"The fact that Tim Kaine would take a poll to decide whether to keep his word says everything the people of Virginia need to know about his credibility on tax increases, illegal immigration, capital punishment, or other important issues. An elected official's most valuable commodity is the trust of the people.
"If this was an unauthorized action, then Tim Kaine should immediately acknowledge and condemn the inappropriate conduct and discipline the staff persons involved. Unfortunately, the Post report this morning indicates that Mr. Kaine is not stepping up and taking responsibility, but is refusing to confirm or deny the serious charges.
"As disappointing as today's revelations are, at least there is the consolation that the tactics have come to light, not at the last minute when the election calendar leaves no remedy, but far enough in advance for Mr. Kaine to be held accountable. The Governorship of Virginia is a venerated and vital position -- one worthy only of honorable men and women. All Virginians should consider this window on the candidate's character when they vote."
