Ken Cuccinelli is a man of strong principles and conservative values.
However, despite his final stretch attempt to recast himself as devoted
to job growth and economic recovery, his tenure as attorney general
demonstrates that he cannot resist placing his own ideological concerns
above the business of governing. Whether it’s conducting an independent
investigation into climate change research, attempting to limit
nondiscrimination policies for gays and lesbians at colleges and
universities or his continued push to limit women’s options on abortion,
Cuccinelli cannot divorce himself from social issues and an economic
platform of lowering taxes without specified budget cuts is suspect. His
tendency toward the crusade du jour makes him ill equipped to serve as a
mediator between political parties, an Achilles heel shared by far too
many of our public officials today.
And there you have it. The GOP will have to divorce itself from the TP
and, in doing so, decrement their numbers at the polls even further.
They made the deal with these nincompoops and now they're living with
it. Good.
When a conservative paper ditches its well-worn path, it's a
bellweather for a shift in position. If the Rs continue to walk the
path they're on, the Ds are going to rule for quite some time.
Especially as long as they can buy votes and prohibit voter identification.
John H. -- Hope you're having a great day!
