186. I'm voting dem if one runs in my district, I don't care what they stand for

I live in where the hell am I, virginny. I am voting dem from sheriff on up,if a dem even tries to run for a small office here. Most times on the state delegate level a dem doesn't even try and when they do, the support is very weak. The teabags have been taking over the small county offices here or if not they have forced the regular gop hack to spin right, it ain't pretty. What I saw in 08 was we didn't even have a dem party on the county level where I live, but with so many voting for Obama even though he didn't carry this county, in 12 we actually got some attention from the national party to be able to do some campaigning, so Obama lost this county in 12 but at least there is some organization which hopefully maybe a dem can win in one of the county seats or boards. Some of you guys are looking at a big picture, I'm looking at very local small issue fights where the teabags are organized and taking over I'm talking about redistricting, vagina probes,voter id and boards of education, this is no joke. So yeah, I'm a leftie, I am voting for any hack that wants to claim they're a dem where I live because the rightwing loons are taking seats like taking candy from a baby here.
I am glad McAuliffe won, no progressive was going to win, I'm hoping he can get mcaid expansion done,of course there is the possibility he may have gotten a watch from ole Johnnie boy too but at least he won't be probing my daughters vagina. I'll vote for Hillary also, but for now I am hoping someone shows up here who can win as my delegate who doesn't want to cut spending for poor folks and prevent old ladies from voting because they never had a drivers license and were born at home.If it where up to me, we would have single payer, get rid of welfare to work which is a big giveaway to corporations to supply them with a steady low wage work force, we would be cutting military spending even thought the economy of Virginia went from growing tobaccy to growing the military, we would be sending every kid to college who wants to go,abortion would be paid for like any other medical procedure covered under mcaid etc. etc etc. Can't get any of that done if the people who do the redistricting also want to teach creationism as science at the local school and believe the citizens of this county should arm themselves in case of a natural disaster in the city. {no kidding our local teabags had a talk on what the county should do if hordes of city folks come over the bridge in a time of disaster, they advertised it by showing a picture of an ar-15}
