Danica Roem is our new heroine. If we cats still lived in Manassas, Virginia, we'd be sitting on her porch every morning, begging to be let in for coffee and danish and a chat.
Not only did Danica beat a self-righteous Republican pig in this month's House of Delegates race — and gave him a canny twist of the knife with her gracious "Bob is my constituent now" response to the press — she's kept up her laser-like focus on the local issues that helped her soar to victory in the first place.
And this morning Danica unleashed a brilliant tweetstorm that took Virginia Republicans to task for the campaign they just ran.
"I spent 10 months detailing my plan to fix Route 28...Y'all hit me on 'transgenderism,'" she wrote. "At the state level, y'all made a pediatrician who volunteers at a children's hospice out to be a member of MS-13, and campaigned throughout the state on Confederate statues and fiscally reckless tax cuts your own state senators called BS. And you wonder why you lost?
"When you spend an entire year just trying to make people afraid of people in their community and you apply these asinine labels as if you're trying to make people afraid of an ideology or an idea, then you're neglecting the very basics of governing to divide our communities.
"Bottom line: Knock off the divisive BS and actually campaign on boring stuff like infrastructure, because it's the boring stuff that the people pay you with their tax dollars to work on so they don't have to focus on it. That's literally your job. Try doing it."
Brava! She's absolutely right. Thousands of Prince William County residents lose days of their lives stuck in traffic each year, but the only things that matter to the GOP are Danica Roem's sex life and gender orientation? Please.
Have Republicans learned their lesson? Apparently not. Which we hope means that they'll lose even more elections. We cats PURR.
