NOVA isn't really Virginia now?

LMAO.

youtube video of MPC spokesperson saying that Northern Virginia isn't really Virginia, but rather, just a bunch of people that moved from DC.

So, DC residents looking for a vote didn't really move to Virginia, but rather to a fake never never land...so...they still don't count?!?! 

 

Re: NOVA isn't really Virginia now?

  • WTF?! ?I've never lived in DC-I <3 the suburbs. ?I'm a Virginian!!! Stop denying me, MPC!

  • Do they not realize that this region has an unusually high percentage of people working for the federal government either directly or for defense and other government contractors/grantees?

    Are they saying that they hope to take over an entity full of people who aren't really American and don't even really exist?!

    "We tend to be patronizing about the poor in a very specific sense, which is that we tend to think,
  • It's a bad choice of words--but we all know what he/she meant--this election (like all VA elections) will pit NoVA against RoVA. ?It's not exactly groundbreaking stuff. ?People down here think differently than people up there. ?(and have better roads, such lovely, lovely roads).

  • If they think NOVA doesn't count, that could explain why they're down in the polls in Virginia. They're discounting the most populous part of the state!

    hey're discounting the most populous part of the state!

    And the economic engine that drives the rest of the state. NoVa should secede - and take all the money they send to RoVa - with them.

    whoops - edited to fix "secede".  don't know what I was thinking there.

    OMG, thank you. ?Yeah, if we're not real Virginians, we can just take our money and leave. ?I pay taxes to Richmond just like the folks in Blacksburg, Roanoke, and everywhere else.

    I'd also contend that Hampton Roads isn't "real Virginia." ?

  • I always heard the NoVA bitching about all the money getting taken from them and spent down here, and I rolled my eyes. ?But it's 1000% true. ?Seriously, the roads down here are ridiculously nice, especially in Richmond. ?And that airport! ?

  • Eh-it is just like NYC and the rest of NY. Welcome to the real (fill in state) vs non-real (fill in state) craptastic argument as a way to motivate people to come out in droves to try to cancel out "the other side".

  • This is moronic.

    Also, does he not realize he's losing in Tidewater too? Actually, if I were him I'd ignore that fact as well, because really, if no where else shouldn't super-Navy man McCain win in a Navy town?  Sorry fo' ya!

  • I grew up in NoVA (spent 22 years there) and we've always wanted to secede from RoVA! I went to Virginia Tech, and all of my NoVA friends would be sure to say, "NoVA" when asked where they're from. It really is like another planet. To this woman, though, I'd say that it's another planet with a ton of voters. :)
