Gerry Connolly, the chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, is the Democratic candidate running to represent Virginia's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Yesterday, I noticed the National Association of Realtors PAC is running television advertisements endorsing him.The National Association of Realtors is one of the groups responsible for the housing bubble and the economic crisis that has followed. They were the ones out there misleading prospective home buyers by telling them, "Don't worry about the price, real estate prices never go down." After the housing bubble peaked, the National Association of Realtors repeatedly lied to the press about the outlook for the housing market. They kept saying that a housing market recovery was just around the corner. They predicted a housing recovery in late 2005. When that didn't occur, they predicted one in 2006, then 2007, then 2008, and now they say it will come in 2009.
Connolly's Republican opponent is Keith Fimian.
