Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine blames 'purist' demands by congressional Democrats
2021-11-04
[NEWS.YAHOO] Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia blamed congressional Democrats' "purist demands" on Wednesday for contributing to former Gov. Terry McAuliffe's loss to GOP nominee Glenn Youngkin in Virginia."Democrats in Congress hurt Terry McAuliffe," Kaine told a group of news hounds at the Capitol. Kaine previously served as Governor of Virginia from 2006 to 2010 and was the party's vice presidential nominee in 2016.

He added that both he and Sen. Mark Warner - along with congressional Democrats from Virginia - had been warning their caucus about the need to pass either the $1 billion infrastructure bill or some version of the currently $1.75 trillion "Build Back Better" social spending bill ahead of the election.

"Instead, Democrats wanted to be purist about whatever their own particular goals were - left, right and center - and hold out, and dither, and delay," he said. "So that hurt Terry in a close race."

#5  Actually Merrick I think you'll discover the data supports lavender oil results as significantly better than universal pre-k.

#4  Frankly I don't see anything wrong with letting toddlers just run around and play all day. That's what we did in the 1950s, and most of us survived.

Once you're in school, it's a long slog for a long time. So let the little kids enjoy freedom while they have it.

#3  "Universal pre-K" is to these morons as lavender oil is to the mullahs': the universal salve, always within reach, a balm for every flaming arsehole
