how about no

This guy wants to be the Governor of my state? Not with stuff like this on his record. From the Washington Post:

“At age 34, two years before his first election and two decades before he would run for governor of Virginia, Robert F. McDonnell submitted a master’s thesis to the evangelical school he was attending in Virginia Beach in which he described working women and feminists as “detrimental” to the family. He said government policy should favor married couples over “cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.” He described as “illogical” a 1972 Supreme Court decision legalizing the use of contraception by unmarried couples.”

It’s true that the degree from Regent was probably enough, and I expected the anti-gay boilerplate…but you know, I have daughters, and this guy, should he win, will have quite a bit of say in what kind of opportunities they’ll have in terms of education and such.

The sad bit is that within a certain segment of this state, this kind of thing will actually raise his popularity, even if this state is seriously trending blue.

And “fornicators”, who says that, really?
