Senator Herring thinks we're mean:
General Assembly Dems blast Republicans for focus on social issues
So, according to Dick, does that make Edwards and Deeds bastard children?
General Assembly Dems blast Republicans for focus on social issues
House and Senate Democrats this morning unloaded on Republicans, who now control both chambers, for pushing social legislation that has dominated much of the legislative session’s first half.
The 17 Democratic legislators decried dozens of bills that they claim target the poor, limit women’s choices, discriminate against immigrants, suppress the vote and expand gun rights.
Specifically, the group focused on legislation to repeal of the state’s longstanding one-handgun-a- month law, require an ultrasound before abortions and require drug screening for welfare recipients.
Sen. Mark R. Herring, D-Loudoun, said Republicans are “spending way too much time on mean-spirited legislation” while “ignoring the problems that real Virginians face.”
“It is now easier to get a gun in Virginia – and as many as you want effective July 1 – than it is to vote,” said Senate Democratic Leader Richard L. Saslaw, D-Fairfax.
Asked after the news conference why two Democrats supported the one-gun-a-month repeal bill in the Senate, Saslaw replied: “Can’t pick your relatives, can you?”
