SEN. JOHN WARNER LOOKS BACK
Retiring U.S. Senator John Warner talks about highlights and perspectives from his long career in public service.
Reader Reactions
Talk about sour grapes! All these negative comments…obviously, the majority of us in the Commonwealth feel much differently as we elected Senator Warner several times over. Must be a reflection on our times…a man of integrity, common sense and dedication to his duty is portrayed as a bad guy. And he even has good manners…also missing in the make-up of several “commenters”. I’d take a hundred John Warners over that smug, self-centered, egotistical piece of work, Jim Webb. Fluff pieces…read HIS stuff!
Good riddance to a solid gold liberal.
Senator Warner’s “service” has left me profoundly disappointed and angry. His enthusiasm for warrantless wiretaps, asset forfeiture, lax border defense, Medicare Part D, and larger and more intrusive government is not a record that justifies his smug self-satisfaction—George Allen’s fawning puff piece in last week’s paper notwithstanding.
George Bush could not have plunged my children head-over-heels into debt without the support of Senator Warner and others like him.
Good riddance John, please go away, enjoy your pensions, amuse George Allen, and have the good manners to keep your mouth shut—unless, of course, you want to apologize.
I for one appreciate Senator Warner’s service to country and the Commonwealth. Prior to serving in Congress, Warner served as Secretary of the Navy, while I was in the Navy. The Navy at that time was in transition towards a more concern for its personnel under the leadeership of Admiral Zumwalt and the support of Mr. Warner.
If it were not for Senator Warner, I believe jobs in the Hampton Roads area would have been lost to other states.
There are plenty of other legislators more deserving of our critisim, Senator Warner is not one of them.
I fully agree hocro. Warner’s ‘public service’ was a service I could do without. There was not a principle in existance he was not willing to compromise.
I wouldn’t be so proud of being there for 30 years and leaving the country in this condition. Sounds like he did more for himself than the country or state. His collections are impressive no doubt.“proud achievements”
