Former Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia announced Thursday he plans to seek the Democratic nomination for president. Jim Webb, a former U.S. senator and Vietnam veteran, announced his candidacy for president Thursday, becoming the fifth Democrat in the 2016 contest. "I know that more than one candidate in this process intends to raise at least a billion dollars," Webb told supporters via e-mail. "But our country needs a fresh approach to solving the problems that confront us and too often unnecessarily divide us. We need to shake the hold of these shadow elites on our political process." A vehement opponent of the invasion of Iraq, Webb, who served as secretary of the Navy under President Ronald Reagan, will push for a less interventionist policy in the Middle East, instead favoring cultivating "vigorous relationships with our treaty partners and our allies" to defeat terrorist threats. Domestically, his focus will be on blue-collar voters and the economic inequality they have experienced over the past decade. To remedy to gap, he's proposing to revamp the nation's tax code. He's also been a loud voice on the need to reform the nation's criminal justice system. "This isn’t a political issue, it’s a leadership issue. It’s costing us billions of dollars. It’s wasting lives, often beginning at a very early age, creating career criminals rather than curing them. It’s not making our neighborhoods safer," Webb wrote Thursday. Webb begins his candidacy just like the three other Democrats attempting to challenge Hillary Clinton: a long shot. He registered just 1 percent in the latest Iowa Democratic caucus poll. But he has been logging more time in the Hawkeye State, even racking up more visits than Clinton, according to the U.S. News Presidential Tracker. Poster Comment: It seems like he's more conservative and pro-American than most of the Republicans?The former Democratic senator from Virginia will seek support from blue-collar and rural America.

Unless he goes way out into left field to suck up to Dim voters,I could see me voting for him. Any candidate that pisses off the Professional Party People in both branches of the ruling party is worth taking a look at.

Of course you could. He's a democrat like you. Sluprinhg up those same sex sandwiches that you love so much. Sanctuary cities. Cut up the babies. Pro faggot. He is as dumb as you are. No you're dumber.
You are an idiot. He was a USMC infantry officer in VN that was highly decorated and highly thought of,and he was a Reagan appointee in the defense department. He also wrote a book about his time in the USMC and in VN,and it was one of the best books I ever read about combat in VN. There is no reality immune to your bigotry and prejudices. I'm betting if he ran against Lady Lindsey or Christy that you would vote for either of them before you would Webb.

Coming from someone who fantacises about "killing niggers" that is kind of funny and stupid as the same time. I am prejudiced against evil. You embrace it and bend over for it. I am a bigot to immorality. You embrace it. Hence your name. Sneaky the Peter.
You ARE evil. Hence your name. Sneaky the Peter. There is no limit to your ignorance. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Yeah Pe eater killing babies is good. You're so good Pete. You don't only have the fag gene but the stupid one too.
He also wrote a book in which a Vietnamese father took his infant son's genitals into his mouth. Kinda lurid.
John Adams (1735-1826), second U.S. president, wisely said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. Damned Pete. The constitution wasn't made for you. It was made for me.
I remember hearing about that,but I had no interest in reading it. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
You have no morality,only hatred based on superstition and a belief in magic and miracles. Damned Pete. The constitution wasn't made for you. It was made for me. Uh,huh. Just keep publishing your ignorance. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Because you're a hands on kind of gay? I mean guy?
Lets see. You support murdering children. I don't. You're fucked in the head. No wonder you live alone and your wife left you.

Sanctuary cities. Cut up the babies. Pro faggot dumber Your boy Mitt is on the record, bragging about being "Gayer than Ted Kennedy"! Yep, Governor Willard M. Romney has a State full of sanctuary cities. So you ran out and voted for him! Didn't you vote for baby killer Mitt? Mitt supports gay boy scouts, parades, encourages kids to attend gay events at school, and personally signed hundreds of gay marriage licenses. You don't like Jim Webb because he's not a queer progressive, like your REAL Republicans. Never fear, the GOP will come up with another dumb gay libtard for you to vote for.
You are not entirely telling an accurate picture 'bout good 'ol Mitt. You omitted his sleepovers with the Log cabin Republicans & their famous pillow fights!
Because it was true?
It was a novel, supposedly loosely based on his experiences in Vietnam. That's all that I recall of the mentions in the press by his GOP opponent's crew. About the only place I'd see Webb do well is maybe West Virginia. Who knows...maybe he's running for VP or SecDef.
I don't doubt his patriotism. But he is pro kill babies in the womb. Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. (Psalm 62:1-2)
You don't like Jim Webb because he's not a queer progressive, like your REAL Republicans. Never fear, the GOP will come up with another dumb gay libtard for you to vote for. Romney sucks. It is who we got stuck with. He is better then Obama though. That was my thinking at the time.
If Webb gets the nomination ,at least the Dems will have a standard bearer who isn't insane. But he's still a Dem. Betting that if you look at his legislative record ,he's probably in lock step with the emperor's agenda. That's an automatic disqualifier in my book.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
The REAL Republicans sure are... Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Graham, etc.
I like Webb's campaign focus on the working man, plus the others. Ergo, he has no chance at all.
He is pro faggot. Pro murder baby. Jim Webb is a piece of shit just like every democrat. He should choke on the sneak.
