How Ken Cuccinelli Blew It

[Tea Party dude]

@Phylogenetically Ancient, That's cute.

Because they were not created by a national political party and are not funded by government?

No. That's not why.

I really like Media Research Center, they do a great service.

We're all welcome to our opinions.

Well since they "mainstream Republicans" are even now grooming Chris Christie to be the next in line, Brent making the obvious known doesn't make him a "Bozo" in my opinion.

He was a Bozo long before this latest utterance.

I take that to mean your a Democrat?

Nope.

Both men are pretty good liars.

Oh well.

There was this first quote that stands out to me.

The two candidates fared miserably on the Truth-O-Meter this fall. Of the 14 Cuccinelli claims PolitiFact Virginia fact checked, 10 were rated Mostly False or worse. McAuliffe was even worse -- 11 of his 13 rated statements were Mostly False or worse.
​

Why did PolitiFact (State “owned” media in the US) only check 13 of McAuliffe's lies?

There was no Libertarian candidate in the Lieutenant Governors race, but the Democrat won by over 10% and 230,000 votes.

What's your conspiracy theory for that one?

Northern Virginia and urban cities?

Straight party-line voters?

I'm curious what you mean when you say "the right" in your statement?

The right seems to have 1 tool in it's political toolbox; move farther to the right.

If they win to ensure future victory their plan is move futher to the right.

If they loose to ensure future victory their plan is move futher to the right.

The reality is that that polical tool is wrong for both scenerios. If one wins it because voters like where they are in the political spectrum and a move either way can hurt them. If they loose, it's because they are too far to one side or another and alienate independent and moderates.

Being a policitical extremist plays well in primaries, but not in elections.

The right means the republicans.

The extreme right is the tea party.

Considering that the "science" and data are showing 17-year pause in global warming, you would think so.

There has been no statistically significant increase in world average surface temperatures since the beginning of 1997.​

The views represented by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) – have underestimated the role of natural cycles and exaggerated that of greenhouse gases for years.​

Imagine that? Every 17 year old student and younger has basically never experienced any global warming, yet they have been fed the lies for years and years through way of government school indoctrination, media hype and political panderers.​

Let's not make this another "I don't trust experts" thread, plenty of others around for that.

But by all means discuss the idea that article put forward, that climate change denial is no longer an electable position.

Northern Virginia and urban cities?

Straight party-line voters?

Some of both probably. Voters in VA's fastest growing population center just aren't as conservative as KC. I also read that the VA state senate went majority Democrat. So maybe there was some party-line voting.

State-owned?

Since this post of yours found it necessary to bring the level of conversation to your type of entertainment, why not share with us your thoughts of what you believe Cuccinelli "feels" about "oral sex" and also clue us in about what you believe God "feels" about oral sex?

Cucinelli wanted to go back to the days when receiving a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] would be a felony.

Last I checked God didnt say anything about oral sex.

That's not a conspiracy theory.

Straight party-line voters?

This doesn't make sense. If it was straight party-line voters, then the Gov. and Lt. Gov would have had similar percentages instead of being 8% different.
