Bill Kristol endorses McAuliffe in Virginia governor's race
The Hill, Aug 24, 2021


Longtime conservative commentator and vocal critic of former President Trump Bill Kristol on Tuesday endorsed Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia governor's race. Kristol is one of 17 Republicans who will formally endorse the former governor on Tuesday, according to The Washington Post. “He’s a moderate Democrat, and he’s not going to shut down Virginia’s business success, economic success and so forth. He’s the kind of Democrat I’m comfortable supporting,” Kristol told the Post.

He's gone all David Frum on his collapse.  David Brock is pleased.

He's a neocon --- i.e. an imperialist with deep state affinity, favors mass immigration, a squish on fiscal matters, etc.

Democrats.

Yep!  Always have been.

Yep. They are Cruise Ship "conservatives" who long ago fell in love with the trappings of power and social status that virtually define our nation's Capitol.   

And which have also corrupted it beyond redemption.

They are entirely comfortable hobnobbing at cocktail parties with the people who secretly detest them, because they both abhor the smelly masses of those rural hick flyover country Jesus gun people.



"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

He's still eligible? I thought he was term-limited, or is there a loophole regarding consecutive terms?

VA has the toughest limit.  One 4-year term for life.  That must have been passed recently, because McAuliffe did have a term before.

In CA, Jerry brown had two terms, then ran again after the Constitution was amended, and Brown did not have the previous terms count against the limit.   :shrug:

The Virginia GOP will also be backing McAuliffe.  Again.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

It's not a loophole @jmyrlefuller

There is no life term limit in the Commonwealth.  The only limit is he or she cannot serve consecutive terms.

No surprise there. The Virginia GOP of today was yesterday's New Jersey Dim leadership.
