Filed in National by on March 7, 2010 35 Comments

The NRA must think that the oh so cleverly named and downright deceptive HB 357 will not pass as written, given the righteous reaction of Governor Markell, and the exposed lies of John Atkins and Joe Booth.

….with the younger generation. The vast majority of Americans under the age of 30 do not care one bit about conservative fearmongering concerning gay marriage and “special rights” for gays. Indeed, they support a wild notion that there should be equality for all. And just when you think the GOP was leaving the socially conservative wedge issues behind and embracing populism, Virginia’s Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) opened his bigoted mouth.
