    Arcola Meeting with Dulles Supervisor Candidate Jeyanathan

    Hello Broadlands,

    My name is Jey Jeyanathan and I am hosting a town meeting this Wednesday 7:30-9:30 PM February 28th at the Arcola Firehouse on Gum Spings Road. I am running for the Dulles District Supervisor position against Steve Snow at the upcoming Republican Convention (Primary) on June 9th. I am providing Republicans and Republican leaning individuals with a clear alternative to Mr. Snow and will bring back principled leadership to the Board of Supervisors. I want to take care of the service needs of existing communities before embarking on more uncontrolled growth that we do not need.

    Please attend this town meeting to discuss Broadlands issues and to get a chance to meet me in person. I am running on a Balanced Growth and Fiscally Conservative platform and discuss the issues facing Loudoun at my website www.votejey.com.

    All residents of Broadlands are welcome to attend and I hope to see many of you there. My sister lives in Broadlands so I have a good sense of your community and the issues you are facing.

    Please consider being a delegate at the Republican convention if you want to change the politics of undue influence in Loudoun. Details are on the website.

    Kind Regards

    Jey

    Jey,

    I am glad to see you have interest in our area of the county. I wish you the best of luck in running with the party whose most recent leadership included Senator Macaca.

    gryphon - do you have to "dig" in every thread? Come on, give it a rest!

    For heaven's sake, I asked the man what he thought of one of the political leaders of his party! Why would you have to have a bad reaction to that?

    The senator in question was even thought to be a frontrunner for the presidential nomination. So, the question is very fair.

    "I wish you the best of luck in running with the party whose most recent leadership included Senator Macaca."

    I do not read ANY question in that statement. I read it as you trying to get in a smart-arse dig at a Republican. And I bet you I am right.

    Careful, you go any farther left, you just might become right.

    T8erman, what is so wrong in asking him what he believes about Senator Macaca? He's running in the same party, and the question is fair. Jey, I hope you answer and share what you think about the former Senator from Virginia.

    I'm a moderate, and don't like either end of the political spectrum. I love God, resent unnecessary taxes, and think people should be able to live free from oppression. If being "right" means hating religion, loving taxes, and wanting to send people oppressed, then you can keep your party for yourself.

    Again, what specific question did you ask in that statement? I didn't see a ? in your post. you were mud-slinging, plain and simple. If you were interested in a true political discourse, you wouldn't have used a the same slur that Sen. Allen used.

    As for it being my party, I am not affiliated with any. I consider myself to intelligent to align myself strictly with either the GOP or DNC.

    You defend the "right" more than anyone else I have ever seen who is an "independent." You really should get on the payroll.

    Back to the point of my post, I'd love to hear what this candidate thinks about his colleague.

    And as a person who is going to vote Democrat regardless of his views, what the hell do you care? Are you just looking to to spout your "sons and daughters" drivel some more or are you looking for some "target practice"?

    And as for "defending" the right, name some specifics for me please.

    The troop build up? Do I think it will work or not, I truly do not know. I am only for it becuase it is something different from what we are doing now.

    The hunt for Osama? You have no idea what efforts have and are undergoing to find him AND his terror network.

    And if you must know, I would have voted for Edwards last election if he had won his primary. I will vote for him this time if he wins.

    I am a Republican and support Republican principles and the Republican Creed. The position of Supervisor is a local office and I do not comment on national or state politics. I am running for local office because I want to help preserve and protect Loudoun. I feel I can do that and will do so in a principled way.

    Visit my website www.votejey.com to understand how I think. It has always been my policy to be judged by my actions and my deeds not my associations.

    Regards
    Jey

    You named some of them in your message, T8erman. Also, you wanted the people of Virginia to forgive and forget when the Attorney General held an event that boozed up underage kids. Also, you had a bad reaction when I even mentioned the racial slur / macaca incident. It seems to me that you defend right-wingers at every turn. That's your right (bad pun), so be proud of defending them!

    Forgiving and forgeting are personal choices and I never said anything about that.
    I specifically said: I doubt ANY candidate is truly worrying if someone is of drinking age..." Notice the word ANY? This was meant to imply Dem or Rep.

    As for a bad reaction, not really. That is how YOU interpretted my post. You made an obvious baiting attempt at a Rep candidate and then tried to spin it that you were asking a serious question.

    So, (to spin it like you would), you even admit that you used a racial slur. Guess that doesn't bother the "left" when you can try to use it for political gain.

    Gryphon, one word is forming in my mind with you and your politcal machinations..... TOOL

    So, I can't repeat what a U.S. Senator says becuase you don't like someone holding him accountable for his words!?! That right there is a perfect example of how you will go to any lengths to support a right-winger!

    Be a man and admit that you used the slur it in an attempt to bait the Rep candidate. I know you did and I bet others think it too.

    HA HA! Just so you know, I did vote this past election but I choose to not vote for a Senator as neither candidate appealed to me! How is that for being a supposed right-winger?

    Disclaimer: I do vote GOP more than DNC, mainly due to "wallet" concerns.

    How is repeating the slur holding him accountable? You are merely using his wrongdoing to excuse using the slur yourself. Senator Allen made a huge mistake by what he said. Regardless of his intention and/or understanding of the word, it was wrong and he should be held accountable. You want accountability? Look at the numbers from the election. Webb 49.59% vs Allen 49.20%. Let me try some speculation of my own here. If Allen had gotten a mere 0.2% of Webb's votes, he would have won by 49.40 vs 49.39. Surely using a racial slur equates to losing more than 0.2%. So my speculation tells me that Allen lost the election purely because of a racial slur. How is that for accountability?

    I note that you did not say that he apologized. I admire you for that. You actually even used the exact term that he did: mistake. I might have been willing to buy the "I made a mistake" line of reasoning IF there were no other racism issues in his past. Remember that he has ties to a well-known conservative group by the name of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), the successor organization to the segregationist White Citizens Council and among the largest white supremacist groups. There are other racial issues, far too many to ignore as a simple "mistake."

    Don't take my word on his ties to the conservative group, see http://www.thenation.com/doc/20060911/george_allen

    And, there is no way that you are going to be successful in bullying me into not reminding peoplen about the slur Allen used. Keep on trying, but it's not going to happen. When he said it, it was filled with hate (check it out on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r90z0PMnKwI), and it needs to be repeated so people will know about it and what party supported him as their candidate. Why is that causing such a violent reaction my a few people in this forum?

    1. Why are we still talking about what Allen said? He lost the election... he's not making any more decisions on our behalf. He's sitting on his couch, drinking tea, watching Oprah.

    2. Why are you folks hijacking this gentleman's thread about his own candidacy and the meeting he was announcing? I find that very disrespectful.
