Talk:Jay Rockefeller

message: I only hear this guy referred to as "John D Rockfeller IV" outside of this article. Shouldn't the article be titled as such? I don't know in what contexts he goes by "Jay," but it's not the way he's best known, so I think the title should be changed...
:In his home state, he is always called 'Jay' and he is called that on a social level, too. I would strongly oppose any such title change. Youngamerican 14:10, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know if Senator Rockefeller owns oil stocks? His family got their $$ from Standard Oil, (which started Exxon, etc.). Is Rockefeller against the Iraq War because losing that war will keep the price of oil up?
If he supported it, you would no doubt say it was to control the oil. Sometimes you just can’t win for losing. 213.205.198.127 (talk) 05:01, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

message: In July 2005, the Justice Dept. began an investigation concerning whether Senator Rockefeller is guilty of criminally leaking government secrets.  According to media personality Rush Limbaugh, Senator Rockefeller is also suspected of leaking NSA wiretap details in December 2005. 
After a nexis and google search, I'd like to propose the following for the last sentence of this section: There are unconfirmed rumors that Senator Rockefeller is also suspected of leaking NSA wiretap details in December 2005. Kschlot1 01:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Partisan rumors have no business being in an article, period. Articles that present extrapolation, speculation, and "future history" are original research and therefore inappropriate.  Remember that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --Dragon695 02:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accusations and investigations of leaking 

message: I have removed this partisan piece of hackery, and I would do the same if it were a Republican.  Rush Limbaugh and NewsMax are about as NPOV as Al Franken and Mother Jones are.  Until you can provide evidence from some other source (EVEN FOX NEWS) less POV-pushing then those two, the section must go. --Dragon695 02:49, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Accusations and investigations of leaking removed 

message: In 2002, Senator Rockefeller travelled to certain Middle East countries and revealed United States military intentions to the leaders of those countries. Rockefeller was quoted admitting this in November 2005 "I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq".  As a ranking Senator, Rockefeller is privy to many internal military planning details on which he is able to form his personal views.
:I've revised the source to point to the orignal Fox News sunday transcript, de-cropped the quote, and removed the bold emphisis. Otherwise, it would seem to be a fair thing (he did after all say it). However, it still could probably do with a rebuttle, if any, from the senator or his supporters. --Dragon695 07:20, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Cybersecurity Act of 2009 is mentioned in this article, but it's also notable enough to deserve its own article. I can't create it because I have been topic banned from political articles. Grundle2600 (talk) 03:57, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I couldn't help but notice that the page for Jay's eldest son John Davison "Jamie" Rockefeller V seems to have gone. I recall there once being an article for Jamie, what happened to it? If it isn't gone, then why does the "John D. Rockefeller V" link redirect me to John D. "Jay" Rockefeller IV's page?? Thesomeone987 (talk) 03:53, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There are probably discussion pages if you dig around, but I would assume that John V was found not to be notable in his own right and a decision was made to link back to his father. Bitmapped (talk) 04:20, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Why did Rockefeller join the Senate 12 days later than the other senators who were elected in 1984? See Seniority in the United States Senate (which offers no explanation). KarlFrei (talk) 15:58, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
