What a jerk! Virginia Del. Mark Keam mocks Del. Lee Carter with hammer and sickle image.



At about 0:48, Delegate Mark Keam holds up his iPad to display a Soviet hammer and sickle while Delegate Lee Carter discusses alleviating poverty. Note BOTH Keam and Carter are Democrats.

His fellow legislators should pelt him with rotten tomatoes for about 1 1/2 hrs.

What a juvenile and sneaky little display that shows your ignorance, Keam. You did leave Verizon as a corp. exec. and counsel in 2009 to run for state office.

Del. Lee J. Carter represents parts of Prince William Co., and correctly emphasizes the growing issue that residents of his area face concerning outside developers coming in to build higher cost properties that will possibly force them out of a region already known for continuous sprawl, traffic congestion, rising housing costs and longer commutes. Moving further out, away from the DC Metro Area in order to find affordable housing beyond Fairfax, Fauquier and Stafford County exurbia to places like Petersburg is not inconceivable. Overdevelpment and all that comes with it is a serious matter in Va. esp. in the last 20 years.

Effective and hard working, Rep. Carter of Manassas addresses the needs of the people, his constituents and district. Last Nov. he ran for office for the first time and beat the GOP Majority House Whip. Impressive. Carter's record and background as an IT specialist and former Marine is outstanding. Keam, of Vienna, Va., and since 2010 Delegate for part of Fairfax Co., not so much.

like many pols in the DC area, and there are more local, regional types too.

Keam was an a*s to do this, and later apologized I read, sort of.

Lee Carter is a very smart good guy and rep.-- a refreshing face to politics like other New Blood of late.
