VA GOP: Who cares about the kids, the rich need their tax cuts!

[Virginia Dare]

Less than two weeks after the GOP-controlled General Assembly approved a state budget, Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly (D) denounced the county's Republican state delegates yesterday over the House's failure to fund day care for about 1,900 low-income Fairfax children.

To help out the local child-care programs for working parents, Kaine asked the General Assembly to appropriate $6 million this year, most of it for Fairfax, which is losing $13 million. But the child-care funding was killed last month when the House rejected 20 of 36 amendments to the two-year budget, removing almost $22 million for projects across the state.

"This is a potentially catastrophic loss," Connolly said at yesterday's meeting of the Board of Supervisors, which is dominated, 7 to 3, by Democrats. "At the same time, the General Assembly was cutting this $22 million, they were approving an estate tax cut that will benefit about 800 families in the state of Virginia."

Now, I ask you hypocritical false christian fundies, what would Jesus do?

2. I like the way Tim Kaine is playing this so far....

he seems to be quite an adept politician, what do you think?

3. I dig him... eye brow and all.

The fact that he spent some time as a christian missionary debunks the right's little godless stereotype of the left.
