We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Just my opinion...,
it's probably good IF, you like being lied to, I think he's a pathological liar, and I think she (Hitlery) is also, I'm sure her husband is. I think they are like two peas in a pod, identical halves of the beast with two backs, neither of them has ever seen an anti-gun bill that they didn't love, and I think they are quite accomplished at popping on those fake smiles while they are twisting the knives they've jammed into our backs.
Again, just my opinion.

He is being painted as a moderate and a centrist by the Republicans. Their plan is to make him out to be less of a Progressive and therefore piss off the Bernie Sanders supporters who are fervently far Left. Anybody who follows politics in Virginia knows Tim Kaine is anything but moderate or centrist in his voting record. He has consistently supported Obama and his far-left agenda and his record shows that. I applaud Hillary for picking him and basically being able to do what the Republicans in Virginia couldn't do; i.e. get him out of office in Virginia. My only fear is who will replace him for the rest of his current term.
He might not resign. He can campaign for VP and retain his seat in the senate.
Presuming that the Dems lose the presidential election, we will still be burdened with Kaine.......until we give him the boot - personally and pointedly.

If he is out campaigning, he won't be at the senate doing what he was elected to do. He should resign.
Virginia deserves better than a part time senator.

Not particularly contradicting; more in the direction of making an observation:
No, Virginians deserve Tim Kaine. They elected him. The deserve exactly what they voted for. In spades. And, hard.
I think H. L. Mencken had something to say about that sort of thing.

<chuckle> You inspired me to google it. Here it is:
H. L. Menken: "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

Kaine's a better senator if he's out campaigning instead of in DC casting terrible votes...

Translation: He won't be at the senate doing what Progressives and illegal aliens elected him to do.
Good!
That would be President Pro Tim.

Actually, no, he is NOT president of the senate. He just presides over it, and casts a vote if there is a tie.
In the line of secession, Tim would be 1st in line as VP. Most senior member of the Senate is president protempore.

Not quite correct, on two counts, both in bold.
1) The VP is the President of the Senate. From Article I Section 3: "The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote, unless they be equally divided."
2) The President Pro Tempore is chosen by the Senate, also per Article I Section 3: "The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the office of President of the United States." Since 1949, it has traditionally been the senior-most member of the Senate from the majority party, but there is no requirement that that be the case. In 1980, for example, Milton Young was elected President Pro Tempore for a single day, even though he was from the minority party at the time. (He was retiring and control of the Senate was changing parties.)

They should all be out campaigning and doing nothing else ~ we would be better off if they all did nothing.
