Virginia Gubernatorial Candidate Campaigns On Effort To Restore Ban On Oral Sex

Ahso! · Post by **Ahso!** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 7:04 am

In an unusual move, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II (R), his party’s nominee for governor, launched a new campaign website Wednesday highlighting his efforts to reinstate Virginia’s unconstitutional Crimes Against Nature law. The rule, which makes felons out of even consenting married couples who engage in oral or anal sex in the privacy of their own homes, was struck down by federal courts after Cuccinelli blocked efforts to bring it in line with the Supreme Court’s 2003 Lawrence v. Texas ruling.Virginia Gubernatorial Candidate Campaigns On Effort To Restore Ban On Oral Sex | ThinkProgress

Poor Ken obviously never got a quality blow job from his wife, and I guess he's never made her squirm from giving good oral sex. Leave it up to conservatives to use children as shields in order to attempt to pass laws that satisfy their personal sexual dysfunction problems.

I don't think the word "satisfy" belongs in that sentence.

So how does this guy plan to know who is breaking the law in this regard?

Ahso! · Post by **Ahso!** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 8:41 am

I suppose some kid might go to school pissed off at his parents or siblings and decide to report them, accurately or not, to a zealous teacher? Remember Reagan's story of a lady walking her dog and just happening to glance into someone's bedroom window to vividly view a couple engaging in oral sex? It's a disaster. These laws being created are designed to turn us against one another.

He's aiming this at gay people.

"When you look at the homosexual agenda, I cannot support something that I believe brings nothing but self-destruction, not only physically but of their soul. he opines.

He's just grand-standing because what he wants is unconstitutional anyway.

Whatever other people do in private ain't none of my concern.

I'd like to keep it that way.

The difference is, with you it's a preference, with Cuccinelli it's Law. Big difference.

Here's more on this nut case.

Renowned climate scientist Michael Mann has taken the unorthodox step of jumping into politics and campaigning with Virginia's Democratic gubernatorial candidate, worried that an "anti-science zealot" could win the election in November.

In an interview with radio host Ari Rabin-Havt on Sirius XM Progress on Monday, Mann sharply contrasted Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) with his gubernatorial opponent, Democrat Terry McAuliffe. The election is on Nov. 5.

Mann said Virginians "can either vote for an anti-science zealot like Ken Cuccinelli, who would use his authority to try to persecute scientists whose views he doesn't agree with ... versus Terry McAuliffe, a pro-science, pro-technology politician."

Then again if people actually elect this guy does that give him a mandate to do this?

Jesus is a mandate. Don't you recall your bible studies. "I am The Alpha and The Omega, The Mandate and I Man-Date!"

I just received a recorded phone message from Ken Cuccinelli with an invitation to a "town hall meeting" this coming Saturday morning in order to give me an opportunity to ask him questions on the issues that matter to me. I'm guessing he hasn't seen my thread on FG advocating cats being voted into high offices.

I hadn't really been paying attention to Mr. Cuccinelli or following his actions and voice until I saw this thread but there's no doubt most of it if not all is grandstanding. He's trying hard to appeal to a particular electorate but he needs to be careful with the extremity of his views or he's going to box himself into a corner.

As for the recorded invitation, short of death or dismemberment, I can't think of anything I rather do less on a Saturday morning than attend a political meeting. I wonder if they'll hand out a list of acceptable questions at the door?

Tabby, I'm guessing you're a registered Republican? I've never received an invitation from any republican to do anything.

eta---well, that's not entirely true. During the Vietnam era I received plenty of invitations from Republicans but it was usually to leave the country or stick something where the sun don't shine!

I'm not a registered anything, Anne. I vote on issues, not by party. Alas, It's hard to find a perfect candidate who agrees with me on everything which is a shame since I know everything.:sneaky:

I wonder if they'll hand out a list of acceptable questions at the door? I'm not convinced he's grandstanding that much. Why an issue like oral sex? And he's certainly serious in his position as a climate change denier.

On June 26, 2012, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rejected Cuccinelli's arguments, unanimously ruling in Coalition for Responsible Regulation v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions as part of a strategy to address anthropogenic climate change and that the EPA's finding that "greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may reasonably be anticipated both to endanger public health and to endanger public welfare" was well-founded in science and public policy.[38]Or for his disregard for privacy:In April 2010, Cuccinelli served a civil investigative demand on the University of Virginia seeking a broad range of documents related to Michael E. Mann, a climate researcher now at Penn State who was an assistant professor at UVA from 1999 to 2005.[39][40] Cuccinelli based his demand on the 2002 Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act, although no evidence of wrongdoing was given to explain the invocation of the law.[41] While climate change skeptics have raised allegations in challenging Mann's work, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and Penn State investigations cleared Mann of any wrongdoing.[42] The Washington Post quotes Rachel Levinson, senior counsel with the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) as saying Cuccinelli's request had "echoes of McCarthyism."[43] A. Barton Hinkle of the Richmond Times-Dispatch criticized Cuccinelli for "employing a very expansive reading of Virginia’s Fraud Against Taxpayers Act."[44]And then there's this Cuccinelli received $55,500 in campaign contributions from Bobby Thompson, a director of the U.S. Navy Veterans Association (a veterans group under investigation). Thompson was Cuccinelli's second-largest campaign donor.[56][57] After receiving the contribution, Cuccinelli met with Samuel F. Wright, a USNVA representative on February 15, 2010, to discuss legislation which had passed the State Senate that would exempt the group from having to register with Virginia regulators.[58]

After an investigative report in the St. Petersburg Times in March 2010 raised questions about the Navy Veterans Association and Thompson, all other Virginia politicians, including Gov. Bob McDonnell, donated contributions from Thompson to other veterans' organizations. Cuccinelli refused to do so, despite calls from Virginia Democrats. Cuccinelli's spokesman said "if Mr. Thompson was convicted of wrongdoing relative to the misappropriation of funds, and contributions to our campaign came from money that was supposed to go to active duty military or veterans, we would donate those contributions to military support organizations here in Virginia."[57] Sen. Don McEachin asserted that the standard for donations should be "much higher than that."[59] A month later in June, a Cuccinelli spokesman said $55,500 would be set aside in a restricted account pending the outcome of the investigation into Thompson and USNVA.[60] On July 28, 2010, Cuccinelli announced that he will donate the $55,000 to veterans charities in Virginia. Cuccinelli stated that his decision was prompted by statements from Thompson's lawyers indicating that Thompson can no longer be located.[61]

Cuccinelli looks an awful lot like a hatchet man for the oil industry.

Cuccinelli's got the attention of Tom Steyer.

That Steyer would choose the Cuccinelli-McAuliffe race as his next target is no surprise. Cuccinelli, who is currently the state attorney general, is one of the loudest members of the GOP's chorus of climate change deniers. He has frequently attacked the Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to curb greenhouse gases, and he led a witch hunt into the research of prominent climate scientist Michael Mann, a professor at Penn State University.

If Steyer's goal is to use his wealth and today's lax campaign finance rules to force candidates to discuss climate change and to oust those candidates who don't take it seriously, then attacking Cuccinelli is a no-brainer. "I would say there's a very clear choice on this topic between these two candidates, and I think the citizens of Virginia deserve to understand both what the truth is and what the implications of that are," Steyer told Politico."Green Billionaire" Launches Big-Money Blitz Against Virginia GOPer | Mother Jones

I don't believe polls. This is one of the Virginias we're talking about. Not that the people there are stupid, but there's a lot of republicans there who vote party.

I think they imported him from New Jersey. It's true about the Republicans but in the last 2 presidential elections, the state has gone for a majority Democratic vote.

If he's a bad driver then they might have indeed imported him from Jersey. He did buy a new motor home, didn't he?
