Supervisor Ken Reid aka Benedict Arnold spotted in Leesburg Parade!
Is it a coincidence that Benedict Arnold betrayed his country and last week Ken Reid betrayed his biggest supporters, his long time friends and confidants, and his county, when he vote for the Silver Line extension into Loudoun County? Like Benedict Arnold, Ken knew exactly what his vote meant to his county and its future. No one knew the history of metro, WMATA and WMAA, and their long term effects, better than Ken Reid. Because he knew so much history of metro, its long term effects on the DC area, and its every growing costs, those closest to Ken knew that there was no way that Ken would vote to impose metro on Loudoun county. More than any other supervisor, Ken knew better. And yet he did it. Why did he betray his supporters and his county? We’ll probably never know the full story, but it has doomed Ken’s political future. People will not support those who they cannot trust.
In addition to behavioral resemblances between Ken Reid and Benedict Arnold there’s also a strong physical resemblance. Coincidence? I think not.

Future residents of Loudoun county will thank the aye voters for having the foresight of long-term planning rather than for
re-election. The Metro will be there for decades AND will
be a great asset.
Too bad we didn’t get an underground Dulles airport to go with the Silver Line!
Maybe we can persuade Loudoun to invest in reviving a commuter barge system. It would be like so cool and all the young people who like want to live here, would like move here, in it would be like , our future, and it would be shiny.
Hey Ken, you are cool, and visionary man, and all those reasons you said it sucks, like who cares, because I’m not flippin payin for it.
Dave. That is like funny dude, like really .
That is like, pretty stinkin hilarious.
And I am not even a hipster dufus like the shiny train people, they are so like, forward thinking.
All we can do now is sell our homes and leave Loudoun County. How sad.
Come to PWC.
How are we going to sell our houses when we have the highest tax rate in the area coupled with the most costly commute? Who will want to buy a house in Loudoun and pay $35 a day to get to Washington? People will put that $700 extra a month toward a house in Fairfax or Prince William, and lower their taxes too! It’s a win-win for Fairfax and Prince William and a lose-lose for those of us stuck in Loudoun. We can’t afford to live here, but we can’t sell either!
Hey Ken, put down the little flag and pick up that big dagger you used to stab us in the back last week.
To quote a poster over at TC…”One if by toll, two if by Metro…the voters are coming, the voters are coming…”
You bet we’re coming and we ain’t forgettin’! Ken will never win another office. We’ll make sure of that. If Suzanne V. doesn’t get her act together and show a little conservative leadership, she’ll be next. Talk’s cheap, she needs to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. We want to see conservative ACTIONS and LEADERSHIP, and a whole lot less of telling one person one thing and another person a different thing. It won’t work. Pick the conservative side, always, follow your principles, and do what’s right. Ken too. Ken’s in trouble too because he knew the right thing to do and didn’t do it.
You have to go out of your way to do something so stupid as to have the majority of your political base compare you to Benedict Arnold . However , Ken has done just that . What a foolish decision , one that will haunt him for some time .
You all are just neandrethal, flat earth haters. Misguided, uninformed bafffoons that need to shut up or you will be labeled DIVIDERS.Don’t hold anyone’s feet to the fire. It is not allowed, according to the rules established by… no one.
FWIW, I did not see Ken in the hat but he had every right to march in the parade in his district.
Geary Higgins and Eugene Delgaudio were also in the parade. Geary was treated like the Statesman he is, thanked for his vote repeatedly. It was a pleasure walking along the parade route with him for a bit.
I don’t know how these guys walk in 100 degree heat in button down shirts and long pants and still look cool as a cucumber, but they did.
The voters are coming, the voters are coming… And they certainly are….aided by a healthy door to door and a couple of anti-Reid PACs when the time is closer. The skids are greased….we just need to start lining up the massive groups who all have the same dislike in common …and to point them in the same direction so they move as an army..
The democrats in Leesburg are ecstatic at that the thought of putting their beloved Kelly Burke back on the BOS. I’m sure no one is more excited and happy than Kelly herself.
Oh look, according to some, the random gravatar assigned to my last post has just made me two other people on this thread and yet we all three have different names, three different email addresses, and different IP addresses. Go figure! LOL Some people really need to learn more about randomly assigned gravatars! Perhaps it’s the definition of ‘random’ that some find confusing.
After assuming the random gravatar is something it is not, assign it a preposterous meaning, quantify as double dangerous, extrapolate something out of thin air, add some innuendo, snide remarks and throw in some bullshit and you will get what we call a perfect post by the Queen of the blogesphere (and FB).
(I hope my gravatar attaches!)
Good! It gives their feeble little minds something to do!
Do you think they could tell me how to get the little red and pink gravatar that I am sometimes assigned? I much prefer that one. This current one looks like a vacuum cleaner! Plus I am sharing it with too many others!
I loved that movie Gravatar.
This makes me want to keep commenting, just to see what gravatar I get!
Alert……… BO and his BFF are continuing to research this gravatar situation and are hard at work getting to the bottom of the mystery. I believe they have been up all night. They seem a bit punchy about the one anti-rail poster here at VV. Or maybe obsessed is the correct word.
If only they had used these mind boogling detective skills to research the Metro financials, we could have all saved a lot of time and energy bickering. Sadly, they took the easy way out on that one.
I have a great idea . . . Maybe we can sell Arlington to DC or Maryland to pay for Metro! LOL
purposeful direction away from an assigned gravatar.
