Gerry Connolly was the chairman of Fairfax County’s Board of Supervisors. Under his leadership, taxes have soared and the county is in deep trouble financially, with a projected $400,000,000 deficit in the new fiscal year. For this, the wise voters of nothern Virginia elected him to congress. There will be a special election on Tuesday, Feb. 3 to elect a new chairman. In this video, Gerry Connolly urges Democrats to lie about the date of the election to Republicans. Is it just a bad joke? Perhaps. But as Connolly makes clear in the continuation of his speech, he wants to make sure that Republican turnout is non-existent. In my book, there’s nothing “democratic” about that.

OK, no one’s bit on this one yet for a comment, so here goes.
This affirms that all the ‘reach across the aisle, bipartisanship’ talk during the election is really just the empty rhetoric we suspected.
Northern Virginia is now represented by Jim Moran, wife-beater, and Gerry Connolly, hit-and-run driver.
Even if Connolly was joking (as I’m sure he claims), there’s got to supporters of his who will take his jest to heart and disseminate the mis-information about the election date. What a horrid example for a newly elected Congressman to set for his constituents.
probably more snow than we have here in MN right now.
