Seward: Do not insult my intelligence by stringing together a bunch of crap in a direct-mail piece.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t check my mail often because I do most everything online. However, today I find this large direct-mail piece that says…<\/p>\n
Danny Marshall opposed economic development for Southside…
\nAnd we lost 3,000 Apple Computer jobs to North Carolina.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAnderson’s campaign (or whoever in the hell he paid to make this crap up) is trying to make people think that Apple didn’t choose Virginia because the Governor’s Opportunity Fund wasn’t fully funded. Horsecrap. The reason that Apple didn’t choose Virginia was because North Carolina’s legislature is in session a lot more than the Virginia Assembly, and they voted to give Apple $300,000,000 in tax incentives. If Virginia had thrown the entire Governor’s Opportunity Fund in ($10 million), it wouldn’t have been close to what North Carolina’s offer was.<\/p>\n
Anderson’s smart enough to make sure that his negative advertisement flyer doesn’t make a direct link between those two items, but the inference is there to make stupid people believe that Danny Marshall made Apple go to North Carolina. Gah!<\/p>\n
Seward, tell me why you’re better than Danny Marshall. That’s the only chance that you have to make me even consider voting for you… and after this direct-mail piece, you’re going to have to sell yourself better than you ever have before. Finally, if I get another of these ridiculous direct-mail pieces that are designed to twist facts, you can consider yourself completely off SouthsideCentral’s radar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
