She's checked out, it's bizarre. I'm guessing that she doesn't even run in 2018. Probably will head to the private sector or try to score a leadership position within the Pence Administration. Whatever happens with Trump, a Republican will still be PoTUS in 2018. She's using these next two years to prove her loyalty to the party.


If what you say is accurate, makes perfect sense. It's all a conspiracy for her to get a position in the Pence Administration.

I've been able to reach her office. If you honestly don't know her position on these issues, you haven't been paying attention.

Of course, she isn't even trying to pretend she represents Fairfax and Loudoun at this point. So, it's hard to feel sorry for her.

Bye-Bye Babs!


Do you realize how bitter you sound?


I am, in fact bitter. My Rep. in Congress is representing a very educated, affluent diverse urban area wIth massive infrastructure projects AND a very poor, rural one. That's not her fault. That's gerrymandering. Which sucks, because you end up with one person representing two groups who need different, and sometime opposing things.

What I do fault her for is not even trying to address the concerns of her NOVA constituents who are very concerned about where things are headed. This is not a go after her with pitchforks crowd. But, they are worried about the impact of the federal budget on this area, federal jobs, immigration policies, education policy and FCPS/LCPS and healthcare. These are legitimate concerns a lot of her NOVA constituents have. Her job is to show up and hear us out, and talk about how she is going to represent us on these issues, among others. It's her job, FFS. She needs to stop hiding just because it became difficult. Do you really think someone who represents a lot of immigrants doesn't need to be talking to immigrants right now? Or that someone who represents so many Feds should be ducking Fed constituents? I'm a fed. I'm a constituent. And I think it's fair for her to answer questions about cutting federal. Unions, and federal,pensions, and large scale federal agency budget cuts. I'm also an FCPs parent, and I like how the school system runs by and large. I want to know how she feels about vouchers and charters. And I would listen to her answers respectfully if she would show up and and listen to my questions respectfully. But she won't. So yes, I'm angry about that.

No, she is mired down in her efforts to form the next march. She has no idea what type of hate is floating around inside her little brain.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/barbara-comstock-no-attend-weekend-town-hall-234490

Rep. Barbara Comstock stood up constituents over the weekend who attended two townhalls with questions about an Obamacare repeal and the Trump Administration’s travel ban.

The centrist Virginia Republican invited people in her districts to “mobile office hours” on Saturday at two grocery stores in Lorton and Oakton, Va. The invitation specifically said she’d be there to answer questions about “issues important to you.”

But Comstock never showed up, angering dozens of constituents who wanted clarity on the GOP’s plan to replace Obamacare. Others wanted to question her about Trump’s immigration executive order. Dulles International Airport, after all, sits on the edge of Comstock’s district.

I want to know how comstock is going to stop the h1b fraud going on in her district that has resulted in the the IT group in Herndon for Fannie Mae being over 80% Indian.

How does that happen in a diverse community? 80% of one group when they are less than 1% of the population? No African Americans. US citizens over 50 no need to apply.

I know you hate facts, but let's try some anyone.

1. Fannie Mae is not taxpayers owned. It's tax payer guaranteed. There is a huge difference. The US Taxpayers don't own FM.

2. Companies that contract with FM are definitely not taxpayer owned. You beef is with a private company.

3. Asians gravitate towards STEM and dominate CS everywhere. DH has been in software development in 4 companies in 3 states. They have all been 80% Asian. Almost none H1B, BTW. Mostly naturalized citizens and green card. A lot of naturalized citizens whose parents brought them to the US as kids, where they attended school and college and went to work. Many have been here 20 plus years. The country of origin (China vs Korea vs India) changes depending on where he was based (NC's RTP vs DC vs Seattle). But it has always been an Asian dominant field. But a large piece is Asian AMERICAN.

4. Many if not not most Indian IT workers in the Dulles Tech corridor are not H1B. They are naturalized citizens or green card holders. Looking at someone of Indian descent and assuming they could not be a citizen is stupid and ignorant. A lot are. Guess what? They also live in Comstock's District and vote. She represents the Indian descent citizen tech workers. As it happens, there is a huge Mosque in her District. So, she also represents a lot of Muslims. And as long as Western Fairfax is the TJ feeder area, it will only draw larger numbers of educated Asians. She needs to get on board with this, or get a different job.


your point on Fannie Mae not owned by US gov is technically correct.

But Fannie and Freddie are in an unusual situation. When the government bailed them out (in addition to getting those warrants), the Treasury Department placed Fannie and Freddie into conservatorship, which gave the government control over the companies. The government currently is taking all of the profits generated by Fannie and Freddie. For many observers the word "own" seems right. Many media organizations use the term "own." The Congressional Budget Office has said the government is the "effective owner" of Fannie and Freddie.

http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/04/21/401259676/who-owns-fannie-mae-and-freddie-mac

fact remains, Fannie Mae is controlled by US Taxpayers, and sells to only the US market. It does not, can not, and will not, sell to China or Indian market. It is chartered and focused completely on American market and supported by US taxpayers.

so what are the chances, 80% are Indian, in a world with less than 1% Indian? that is not random. what do you think causes a group of workers to turn from diverse and multi-cultural, into almost all Indian?

do you think it may have anything to do with Indians bias to hire other Indians? or because INdians own the H1B visa mills and provide cheap workers? nah, probably just random.

Babs is doing a crappy job of representing the concerns in her district. If she just wants to show up at parades and birthday parties, let her buy a clown suit and start a 2nd career as an entertainer. We need a better rep. and we need it NOW.
