Barbara Comstock's NRA $

So much for fiscal restraint and being a true conservative. She just voted to add $1.5 Trillion to the deficit.

Babs, Cheney’s toy needs to go

Yeah, I happen to be in her district and do NOT want a republican representative. She rarely says a bad word against Trump. She is hiding from her constituents behind these ridiculous telephone town halls. She doesn't show up to meetings with her constituents and sneaks off to do things that are hidden from her schedule. And the one thing she actually "did" was getting a bill passed to allow for mentally ill people to get guns.

I'm mad as hell and I'm going to work hard to get her ass out of the seat representing my household in the US Congress. Sh doesn't represent me or my views.

And yes, I saw her with my own damn eyes ignore people standing right in front of her trying to exchange pleasantries.

I'm not a paid shill. I'm not part of any organized group. I'm just a pissed off constituent.

Exactly. And they keep starting the threads on "Babs" (which no one ever calls her) and trying to escalate with ever-more outrageous posts. This is the DCCC and the liberal pacs at work. Every single post started on Comstock reads the same way. I've asked Jeff to move this to politics so at least I don't have to see my representative libeled but it stays here in recent topics. And now one of the liberal voices will accuse me of being "Babs" posting for herself because that's what they do. It's just pure ignorant hatred and I wish the pacs and DCCC would stop this behavior.

Its on the Metro DC Politics forum, that's the correct forum for this thread.

I love how it simply must be some concerted, sinister "DCCC" effort against poor Babs. (Bab? Barb? Buffie? Barbie?). Its so completely unlikely that a board full of educated, professional parents would have multiple posters who disagree with her policies, right?

The same groups are attacking the other Republican members of Congress up in Nov. 2018 just like this. No one else is posting. The fact that they keep posting here with outrageous, stupid, and ignorant claims proves this is an intolerant left group attacking Representative Comstock. I believe, over time, it will hurt the Dems more than it will hurt Comstock. There have been so many of these "bursts" of viciousness that sound similar, all using the "Bab"s line - the constituents of the 10th Congressional District are very smart. They know who is behind these posts.

If no one else cares about this race, how is it that Rep Comstock already has one R (Shak Hill) who wants to run against her in a primary? Clearly the Ds are excited to oust her, given the 7 Ds who are planning to run in the D primary, but an R so early in the game...doesn't bode well for Rep Comstock.

So, I'm OP of this thread. Not some kind of operative. Just someone who lives in the area who is mad this person is one of the representatives for this region. Just to be 100% transparent, my mother lives in the Comstock district, and I live just outside. I still think it is reasonable for me to post a thread about this topic in a forum called "Metropolitan DC Local Politics."
If someone wants to start a thread about another representative from VA or MD, they should do so.

I'm amazed by the "arguments" Comstock supporters have put on this thread. Some examples:

1. You people are mean! She's a nice lady. Why are women being so mean to this nice lady who works hard?
Nice has nothing to do with it. She has a clear voting record (and a clear record of campaign contributions). I am fundamentally opposed to the positions she reflects on her voting record, and I see a clear correlation between the groups who send her money, and her voting record. Declaring that I am against an elected official does not make me 'mean". If you want to be a supporter of Comstock, tell me why you think it's awesome she is one of the top receiver of money from gun lovers and does nothing to control guns, don't just tell me I'm mean. As for her being a "hard worker" I'm not making any claims about her work ethic, but if her "work" is supporting ideas I fundamentally disagree with, then I'm not going to support her!

It's telling that, like Comstock, rather than actually speaking to people and articulating policies, you hide behind the idea that any criticism is unfair and she shouldn't have to deal with it.

2. No one cares, election a year away, why are you bringing it up?
From the moment an elected official is sworn in, until the day their replacement is sworn in, they represent their district. It is the responsibility of citizens of a district to tell their representative how they think the representative should fulfill her/his duties. Comstock can decide to listen to constituents or not, and like any elected official, that could have implications for her when election time does roll around, but there is not some magic window that is the only time constituents should communicate their opinions.

That's because liberals are the only ones who *consistently* use insults as a form of communication. It's all they know.

How much is her "modest" house worth, Friend of Barb? Since you brought it up...

I'm so psyched for her to lose her seat. She is a coward who is afraid of her constituents and she is completely 100% wrong on all the issues our family cares about.

And of course, your family is the only family that matters, or will be voting. She's completely, 100% right on all the issues our family cares about. So I guess our votes will cancel each other out.

Apparently you haven't heard anything out of Trump's mouth, ever.

Apparently, you don't understand why many of us were pushed to vote for Trump. Hint: it has to do with the same sanctimonious, self-righteous liberals seen on this very thread. Pushed us right over the edge, and will likely do it again in future elections. The learning curve is steep with you people, isn't it?

I can assure you that the home in what I thought was her neighborhood is NOT what I would call average in any sense of the word. Was it an estate? No, but it was the nicest house I have been to this in this area.

So, do you feel similarly about the homes of Democratic politicians? How about the Obamas' home(s)? Clintons? Any number of local Democrats? Or is it just when a Republican has a nice home, they're a target?

Translated for everyone who doesn't know anything about guns or CCW:


"I did the absolute minimum of training required and necessary to obtain the license, then immediately stopped doing anything to maintain even that low level of proficiency. I almost never carry the gun, so on the occasions when I do, I'm *incredibly* dangerous, because it's like I'm carrying it for the first time, instead of being as familiar with it as my phone or house keys. I'm not used to wearing it, it might fall out of my holster because I'm not used to that either, I might pull the trigger accidentally because I'm not used to it being there, I might even take it off and forget about it when I'm in the bathroom stall, because I'm not used to having it on me and therefore don't feel right when it's missing. I'm basically a danger to everyone around me, because I don't take this responsibility seriously, and treat the privilege of being able to carry a gun to defend myself as some sort of casual thing. Anyhoo, I like to tell people I carry, because it implies to people who don't know anything about guns that I must be some kind of expert, and can win post wars on the interwebz because of my awesome gun knowledge."





This is what "almost never carry it" means, folks.




PP, you should throw your handgun off a bridge, so you won't hurt yourself with it.

Every.

Single.

Word.

Of.

This.





Absolutely nails it.

It's my neighborhood. It's average. Two minutes of googling and you can find. That said, I can't stand her.

I think Average-for-McLean and Average-for-Everywhere Else are two houses with very different values.

Really? Tell us how you feel about Dem. politicians who live in nice homes. Do they also have "very different values"? Or do they get a pass from you? How about multi-millionaire, Mark Warner? I'm sure he's got a nice place. John Edwards? The Obamas? The Kerrys? Clintons? Shall I continue?

Its only an issue in this thread b/c Barbara's friend brought it up, claiming her home was "modest".

You chose to vote for him. No one "pushed" you into it. Own your choice.
Also "many of us" (DC Urban moms) certainly did not vote for him. He got about 2 votes in DC.

I hope prospective voters searching for info on Comstock see these posts and realize exactly what type of people support her.

We couldn't help but notice you failed to provide even the thinnest of details to support your claims. Not even a "on the rare instances when I carry, I typically carry a ______ in a ________ holster, loaded with ________ ammunition. I practice at a range with _______ lanes, the lane dividers are blue plastic, the overhead target shuttle has ________ buttons and the paint on the range walls is ________.

Had you offered up something like that, you'd have gained credibility with the skeptics here. But you didn't. So you sort of proved out the numerous assertions made in this thread that you're not trustworthy or knowledgeable about your claims to be a gun owner and CCW holder.

Thanks

Who is "we" exactly? If you'd asked what I carried first, without acting like a crazy stalker, I would have told you. You didn't. You asked which range(s) I frequent and you're obviously an angry person with an axe to grind. I'll bet most women find you creepy if you're a guy, or if you're female, you have a lot of problems maintaining friendships, especially with other women.

Anyway, keep posting. SEO is a beautiful thing! Right now, if you Google "Barbara Comstock NRA" (without quotes), this thread comes up on the first page. It not only helps monitize this website, but like I said, shows exactly what kind of people support Comstock.

And what kind of people don't - sanctimonious hypocrites. You're right, this thread has been very enlightening to me and has cemented my decision to vote for Comstock next year. So thanks! (DP, btw)
