Democratic Underground is pleased to host an online discussion with Dave "Mudcat" Saunders, a Senior Strategist for the Wayne Powell for Congress Campaign, which is challenging Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor in Virginia's 7th Congressional District.

Mudcat's candidate, Wayne Powell, is a retired Army Colonel, a small business owner, and a community lawyer. Wayne Powell was born and raised in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District. He is running for Congress against Eric Cantor because veterans and working people need someone in Washington who will fight for them. And yes, he can beat Eric Cantor!

Recently, Cantor was caught red-handed, hiding a "spousal" exemption in House Insider Trading bill. Cantor's actions open the door to questions about his spouse's involvement in a Cayman Island hedge fund firm. Below is a piece that Mudcat wrote about the issue in the Huffington Post.

Please post your questions for Mudcat in this thread. He is going to join the discussion sometime around 2 pm ET today. Please be aware that he may not be able to answer every question.

Welcome, Mudcat!

Mudcat sent me this message to get the discussion started:

My name is Dave Saunders, but everybody except my mama has always called me Mudcat, and you can, too. I am strategist for Wayne Powell's campaign against Eric Cantor, the worst human being in Washington. Wayne Powell and his positions are easy to explain. He is an expanded Jacksonian Democrat. That means he believes in the two guiding principles of social justice "for all people" (that includes women and gays) and economic fairness "for all people", including the middle class who have suffered so much. He is a social moderate, an economic populist, a retired military intellegence officer (has a son in Afghanistan), a well-spoken lawyer, and crucially, not afraid to loudly shout out Cantor's numerous sins. While we face an uphill battle against unlimited money, he is exactly the type Democrat who can take out Cantor in the 7th District of Virginia, and I can promise you I wouldn't have left SW Virginia if I didn't think it possible.

I'm here today at my request to answer your questions on how we're going to beat this degenerate. The reason I contacted Skinner is because many of your comments have made it to my computer, and I like your style. Simply put, many of you are ready to fight the bastards, and a lot of you are more than ready. I feel at home.

Bring on the questions.

I have a question.

Do Mr. Powell's would-be constituents know that he's relying on a site that vilifies prosperity, coddles terrorists, roots for jihadists, endorses treason, cheers for domestic civil unrest, would criminalize Christianity and openly endorses Marxism?

Feel free to ask your own questions of Mr Dirty*****.

Hey, he's a lawyer.....nuff said.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

What is an "expanded Jacksonian Democrat"?  I hate these meaningless self-applied political labels they use.  Does that mean he's against shipping Indians off to reservations, because that ship has sailed.

He did say "expanded" so maybe he wants to ship them beyond US borders.

Or maybe he's looking to get rid of Nikki Haley and Bobby Jindal.

Now that's an interesting question.

Generally I would suppose it would be anyone who would appeal to Populist sentiment by any means necessary to get the votes to win an election, even if it means defying the Constitution (The 'Jacksonian' part) or draining the Treasury to deliver freebies (The 'Expanded' part).

I think that they should find out!

"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible
