That’s what things are coming to. It’s impossible to get good candidates when people from the extreme ends of the spectrum dominate the stage. McAuliffe is winning because Cuccinelli is so extremely far right that even the right can’t support him. McAuliffe is more moderate, but I’d agree not the best choice.

Nope,you are wrong in your assupmtion that1 Cuccinelli is extreme in his policies and 2 that the right doesn’t like him because of his views.
It is the RINO who don’t like him,probably want him to lose,that way they can proceed with their Democrat lite agenda.
I would be willing to bet if there were a comprehensive poll done among Registered Republicans,the RINO would have a real awakening to really how out of touch they are with their base.
I for one,will not send them another cent,nor will I support ever again the moderate candidates they keep pushing on us!
Re McCaullife another CI NO(Catholuc in name only) whose plattform priority is abortion,unfettered abortion at that.
A pretty sad commentary on our society that this is what motivates the vote on the left.
May God have mercy on us all.

No, he really is far right. He ignored Lawrence v Texas, he’s attempted to shield concealed carry permit applications against Freedom of Information Act requests, he’s proposed cutting the top income tax bracket by .75% and on corporations by 2%, he’s advocated abstinence-only sex education classes in public schools, and he’s advocating revoking the citizenship of children of illegal immigrants born in the US.

These are all actions that are consistent with a far right political philosophy. And, these are just a few… there are many more out there.

He’s still the best candidate regardless of your labels and DNC talking points. I wouldn’t consider his stances to be terribly far-right either. The real far-right in this country is largely dead, but the media and liberals need that largely false narrative because their policies and ideas are failing as they most always do. :rolleyes:

The GOP is poised for a wipe-out of democrats in 2014 and can easily take the rug out from Hilary in 2016. 👍

The left in America is failing.

And as an “American” Catholic, you ought to concern yourself more with abortion, so-called “gay marriage”, human cloning, stem-cell research and euthanasia.

He is for late term abortions. Up until birth and he is Catholic. Another Catholic that is letting the church down. Shameful.

That won’t stop Catholics from supporting him though.

Ka-ching! :o

Naturally, they probably should excuse themselves from Communion, but maybe in their minds that’s a Constitutional “right” and a “human right”, too.

You guys can jump all over me, but I am staying away from the polls today.

There is no choice for Governor, and gets worse further down the ticket. I know Ken, he was my Delegate, but he is not the model for the kind of politician we want in the future.

He is unelectable because of what he tries to legislate. He also said he was not going to use the AG spot to run for Governor, but he did. So, I won’t won’t vote for any of them.

McAuliffe the carpetbagger will win thanks to the ability in Virginia for PACs to be able to coordinate their ads.

Aaargh! I am so frustrated.

VOTE, Paul, VOTE!!! :dancing:

Come on…you know you wanna deep down…😃

And to think the democrats were once against SuperPacs-------until, I guess, they found a LOT of rich people in the USA, were, well, democrat!

And would they back down from an easy way to raise money? :whistle:
We have been deluged with television ads against Cuccinelli, but I don’t think I’ve seen one ad that says what McAuliffe, who has never held elective office, would do for Virginians.

Classic left-wing tactic, because progressives have no plan that works. That’s why they have to attack, attack attack! :slapfight::takethat:

But seriously, if you stay home, they’ll get what they want. 😦 :sad_yes:

Midterms are all about the turnout.

I just got out of the polls voting for Cuccinelli. Even the libertarian candidate is pro gay marriage and pro choice. Probably one of the sadder options I’ve seen for Virginia, as I’ve felt that Cuccinelli has an overly aggressive style of politics. However, as he is the only pro-life option, not too mention reasonably sound business ideas, he gets my vote.

Looks likely that Sarvis will siphon enough votes to give the democrats a win.

If Ken Cuccinelli does not win I do not know if you could put it all down to votes for Sarvis, I guess it will depend on the final vote numbers. Other things will be blamed for the loss, not enough campaigning in D.C. suburbs, being outspent, government shutdown etc.

Ron Paul, a libertarian Republican, is supporting Ken Cuccinelli, not the liberation party candidate in Virginia.

A third party Libertarian candidate arguably harmed Mia Love’s chances in Utah in the House race. I hope the turn out for Sarvis will not be as high as some polls are claming the support for Sarvis will be, because I think it is taking votes way from Ken Cuccinelli and Sarvis will not win.

McAuliffe will win and it will be hailed as a validation of Obamacare, but let us not forget the very obvious, i,e that the trainwreck that is known as the Affordable Heathcare Act will not begin plunging over the cliff until next year.

And they will ignore Crisiti’s landslide victory in a blue state

Yes, I guess the final numbers will tell us for sure, although I’d agree right off the bat that there’s more to it than just Sarvis. But based off the poll data, it does seem like it’s having a significant effect.

The governor, Bob McDonnell, sank Ken’s plans with his public corruption scandal. Add to that Ken’s threatening the health board that if they grandfathered in present abortion clinics he wouldn’t give them legal advice; his Delegate voting record; the government shutdown blamed on the tea party; and the deluge of negative adds, his candidacy is DOA.

Let’s see if McAuliffe tries to expand Medicaid and stand up a Virginia ACA Marketplace…
 
I came here today looking for advice! Do I vote or not at all? Because while Cucinelli seems to be the right choice when it comes to abortion, I find suspect his part in the government shut-down, even though he’s not an incumbent (and I was just going to not vote for the incumbents whose brilliant idea it was to shut down our country’s government).

To vote or not to vote?! I’m feeling like no vote would be a moral/ethical choice. Even the Libertarian option, Robert Sarvis, isn’t an option with his wishy-washy approach to abortion.

Sigh.:confused:

I personally would encorage you to vote for Cuccinelli. Would good is it not voting if you have the opportunity to make a difference in this election? It may come down to turn out.

I encourage you to read this article

I quit voting because elections have become a one party system. No one hold Democrats responsible for their actions. ( How often do you ever hear Democrats blamed for their part in the government shutdown?)

How is Cucinelli responsible for the government shutdown? He isn’t a member of Congress first of all, and secondly, the Democrats were JUST as responsible as any Republican. Either side could have relented, and in the end, which side allowed government to ultimately be funded? The Republicans.

No candidate is perfect, but perfect is the enemy of good. There is no real rationalization for a Catholic to vote for anyone other than Cucinelli, even if he falls short of your ideal.

I dont see how he could possibly be responsible for the Govt shutdown which was a good thing in my opinion anyway
 
Get this — the Democrats smeared Cuccinelli by robo-calling that he supports Obamacare. He(Cuccinelli) was the first state attorney general to sue to stop Obamacare. The Democrats are using McAuliffe’s position on Obamacare — he loves it — to smear his opponent. The Democratic Party of Virginia paid for the calls, which were designed to depress support for Cuccinelli by brazenly lying about his positions.
That’s some chutzpah.
Now it turns out that the Libertarian candidate, who holds very few actual libertarian positions, is bankrolled by an Obama bundler according to the Blaze

The American Catholic Church allows gay marriage, and I am concerned about it… I think it needs to be universal throughout the country. We are also okay with stem-cell research. Still anti-abortion and I’m not really sure where they stand on cloning, because I’ve never really considered it.
