[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-10-11 As much as I detest wading deeply into politics, I still have an opinion. This opinion is naturally a terrible one because it contradicts...someone...somewhere. Someone disagrees, so, therefore, I must be wrong. That seems to be the way of things now. So I stay away. But every now and then, I must speak and speak loudly enough that others hear me. Which brings me to this guy… Andy Pittman. VA He’s running to be a delegate in Virginia’s 94th district, which includes Norfolk, Virginia. He says that he is “Norfolk’s Own.” Which I guess that means he’s from Norfolk. Big deal. So’s my ex. I’m not voting for them, either. So, I looked him up to see what he was all about since his solid blue-colored campaign signs were all over the place. I didn’t get far into his campaign site to know that I wanted nothing to do with him. His campaign signs are solid blue. His lettering and the graphic of the Commonwealth of Virginia, likewise, are solid blue. Some letters and the “Donate Here” stuff are in red, but they are right above another large blue swath of color at the bottom of the page. It has all of the cute stuff and a nice picture of a cop, a classroom, and a blue-collar type of guy. But something’s hidden…. Something’s just not right… Something’s missing…. one word... Republican. Nowhere on his site does it identify any party. He intentionally paints a “blue” picture on his site while running as a Republican. And don’t tell me he “wasn’t aware.” The guy’s a lawyer. He knows. Worse yet. The graphic of Virginia is Blue! For those who don’t know, Virginia flipped to Blue in 2008. This is something that infuriates the Red, considering this was the home of the, once, Confederate Capital. My jaw clenches... Andy Pittman’s site is intentionally painting a “Blue” picture, intentionally misleading those who don’t look closely, to garner a few extra votes. He hides his party affiliation because he knows the Republicans have nothing to sell but hatred, lies, deception, and hidden agendas. As his site demonstrates all too well. That makes me see Red, for what they are….
