Tim Kaine Speech

October 30, 2005

Staff of Commonwealth Times:

As a liberal, I was saddened and frustrated by Tim Kaine’s speech in the VCU commons on Sunday, October 30, 2005. The speech was nothing more than meaningless rhetoric.

Kaine pushed aside education, jobs, health care, and other issues needed to “move Virginia forward.” Although, Kaine repeatedly used the phrase to rally supporters.

Kaine was also unable to demonstrate that he could run a “positive campaign” when he made passive remarks about his opponent sweating in an earlier debate.

As much as I would like to support a democratic governor, I cannot vote for someone who clearly demonstrates the problems within American Politics.
