Virginia politics, policy and entertainment from the Greater Richmond-Washington Metro Area perspective.

Questions for Anyone Who Thinks that Tim Kaine Is a Moderate

Name an instance where Tim Kaine led a Big Tent issue?

Would a bipartisan leave office with a budget so bad that it was immediately voted down 97-0 and the bill’s patron voting present?

Why would Tim Kaine, who claims to be pro-education, remove $120 million in funding for Northern Virginia which every Democrat and Republican state legislator opposed in writing? 

Mitt Romney was able to produce legislation with an 87% Democratic legislature.  What legislative accomplishments does Tim Kaine have to show for his 4 years?

Would a bipartisan unilaterally hand over the Dulles Toll Road to MWAA bypassing the normal legislative and procurement process, or ram through special tax districts that were later declared unconstitutional, or create abuser fines that were so politically volatile that they had to be refunded?

Barack Obama picked Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Tim Kaine to lead the Democratic Party.  Other than stylistic differences, is it reasonable to think that Tim Kaine’s policies differ from Debbie Wasserman or Barack Obama?  And when has a moderate ever managed a national political party?

During his 2005 campaign as governor, Tim Kaine said transportation was his number one priority.  Why did focus on his own projects instead of first producing a consensus to properly fund transportation? 

Why can’t Tim Kaine find non-Democratic legislators that agree with him other than Katherine Waddell (I) (pro-abortion, pro-homosexual rights funded by Hager’s Boss Mark Warner), Brandon Bell (I) (received $200K from Virginia Democrats and endorsed by Mark Warner), Vince Callahan (R)  (who endorsed Mark Warner)? 

Does a moderate engage in race baiting?

We have Sequestration cut backs because the Super Committee in Nov 2011 broke down over the issue of raising taxes in a lack luster recovery.  Tim Kaine has been proposing the same formula again.  Does a bipartisan continue to beat this dead horse or would he propose a significantly different option?

If Tim Kaine is a moderate politician, then why did the Democratic Party under his leadership see Democratic Party affiliation plummet in addition to losing an unprecedented number of Democratic seats at all levels of government after the 2010 election?

Why did Tim Kaine’s Special Sessions end in failure with no compromise legislation?

Why did Tim Kaine resort to closing interstate rest stops?

Why did Tim Kaine prohibit a free and open discussion about the science behind man made global warming and then attack UVa’s Climatologist Dr. Patrick Michaels?

If Mark Warner and Jim Webb voted in lockstep for Obamacare and Obama’s agenda, not to mention failing to produce a budget, how would Tim Kaine be any different from them?

    Sorry, i only have a few minutes….virginia has always been underfunded….just ccompare per capita income ratios with similar-sized states………gilmore drained the funding flows 1 term before kaine. education funds must be sent to southern va to support school disctricts that cannont support themselves….the only thing he ever did wrong was to close the rest stops….otherwise he did a decent job in every respect. Geez, look at what allen did….nnothing
