Virginia Governor Says Me Too

Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and of course Mitt Romney are trying hard to show that they are the kookiest candidate for President. The Governor of Virginia, named Bob McDonnell, has shown this week that he is well on his way to jumping up in the crazy polls.

We have heard about his personhood bill. This week a bill that was launched at his instigation passed the Virginia legislature. The bill would have made mandatory a vaginal probe sonogram for any woman considering abortion. Oddly the woman would not have to see the results of the probe but would have to submit to the test. It seemed punitive and it was. Feeling the heat as the bill sat on his desk, McDonnell walked away from the bill. It is likely he will return to it. Worse yet McDonnell now says that he did not realize the bill included the probe. An outright lie.

Interestingly when McDonnell was at Pat Robertson's University he wrote a thesis with fifteen things to do to improve the lot of the morals of the country and the Christian base. This man is not a surprise, this man has laid out his intent. And he will follow it.

It is remarkable how these candidates can run campaigns with the voters not knowing what they will do. Our news media is now so fractured that reporting that no one, if they do not wish to be, is challenged to view and hear differing opinions. This allows candidates to run these campaigns full of obfuscation.

Sadly the one thing we know is McDonnell will return and will have his 15 point plan with him. We should hope that the citizens of Virginia understand better what a radical agenda this will bring, should they reelect him.
