That's who is running for VA's 10th District.
"Government needs to stay out of our businesses, out of our homes, out of our churches, away from our children and away from our guns. We are the most powerful country in the world and the American spirit allowed us to invent the lightbulb which lit the way for the world; the automobile which takes the world to work each day...." "The government does not give us rights as parents; they are our natural rights given to us by God and as such, cannot be removed. " " Every pre-born child is a human being deserving of protection as the most vulnerable members of our society. " Thought I'd go and look as we were recently redistricted. Jennifer Wexton has been doing a pretty good job as far as I can tell, thought I'd see what she's up against. OMG. OK, I was expecting a Republican candidate to be somewhat conservative, but he is off-the-charts. The website is nuts. |
| Welcome to the American Taliban. It’s like we sent our military to Afghanistan and all we got was a roadmap to running a contemporary fundamentalist religious dictatorship. |
that's probably a little too close to the truth for comfort--just replace Allah and Islam with God and Christianity, and you're all set. |
| These are the people running for local snd state election and education boards. This has been a focus f the right, working through evangelical churches, for upwards of a decade. |
Can someone please post a link to this website or at least a name of the candidate. From what I have seen it is the PP and the average DCUM poster who is nuts not the person running against Wexton. |
Maybe because we were just redistricted I didn't notice. None of the other candidates, whether R or D, ever seemed quite so unhinged. I mean "The government does not give us rights as parents; they are our natural rights given to us by God and as such, cannot be removed. " " Every pre-born child is a human being deserving of protection as the most vulnerable members of our society. " Really?? pre-born? |
This isn’t hard. https://www.hungcaoforcongress.com/policies/ |
How exactly does that make the poster nuts? They're quotes from his website. I googled it for you, since that seemed a bridge too far. https://www.hungcaoforcongress.com/policies/ |
I looked up his name myself. He is a former Vietnamese refugee and US Navy veteran. I don't really follow local politics that closely. Nothing about him sounds nuts to me. The knee jerk reaction of the posters on this website (DCUM) is to label anyone they disagree with as crazy even when there is nothing crazy about them. That is a crazy thing to do and therefore the poster who is saying this is nuts is nuts. |
Which part is "off the charts" nuts? |
| Government needs to leave us alone.....except if we have a uterus! Then they can dictate what we can and cannot do with our bodies. |
The automobile was not invented in America. Don’t let facts get in the way of some good old fashioned nationalism! |
Exactly. |

Which / whose god is the one who gives parents rights? That needs to be clarified.
Anyone care to weigh in? |
Okay, cool, I'm on board so far.
Kind of a meaningless platitude, but I'll be generous and let it slide.
Okay, this is pretty bonkers. Inflation is a monetary phenomenon, and inflation in every single OECD country is running hotter than it is in the US, so to link it to Biden's policies is sloppy reasoning at best and disingenuous at worst. And no plan for relief? Since he doesn't provide any details, we're left to assume that he either supports price controls (awful idea) or subsidies (which will make shortages and inflation worse).
Alright, we're really off the rails here. Instead of ideas that would actually materially improve the labor market (getting rid of absurd licensing requirements, lifting zoning requirements that arbitrarily raise the cost of both housing and commercial space, etc), he seems to be under the impression that the labor market is suffering because of vaccine mandates???
Meaningless drivel. Why must we cut taxes? Why must it go synonymously with cutting frivolous spending? Is he laboring under the impression that tax cuts can be financed by buying fewer overpriced toilet seats for the Pentagon (what a laughable concept!)? And before it is too late for what?
This is insane. Since when is Congress' main job to balance the budget? In any event, it's desirable to run a deficit during downturns, and when the cost of servicing debt is lower than the rate of economic growth (as it has been for nearly all of the past 75 years), it carries very little fiscal cost. And it is completely bonkers to compare government finances with household finances. Maybe when households can issue their own currency and fund their operations by issuing debt, then we can start to compare them, but until then, this is just a bizarre talking point that gets lapped up by right-wing ideologues who lack critical thinking skills. This website is off-the-charts nuts. |
