It didn't seem right that we'd just post our list of The Top 25 Reasons Not to Vote for Jerry Kilgore on Raising Kaine. We owe it to our readers to say why we support Tim Kaine for Governor. The real problem with both these lists was paring them down to ONLY 25 items each. Well, we did our best. Here is our countdown of The Top 25 Reasons to Vote for Tim Kaine , counting down one-by-one, here's #21.21. Tim Kaine is consistent and strong. Tim Kaine's positions on transportation, health care, responsible government and a host of other issues are consistent and strong. His opponent seems too delicate to take a principled stand unless it suits the politics of division.
We're sure to draw fire on this particular issue, because the Jerry W. Kilgore campaign is taking notes from the Karl Rove playbook and working to undermine Tim Kaine's greatest strength. Tim Kaine has consistent and strong positions on the issues. You know where he stands and what he's going to do.
This stands in stark contrast to Jerry W. Kilgore who should never go out in public without maple syrup he waffles so much.
For example, Tim Kaine's position on abortion is consistent and clear. Tim Kaine has a faith-based opposition to abortion and will work to decrease abortions. Abortion, however is the law of the land, and Tim Kaine will work to protect a woman's right to choose. He will never criminalize the decisions made by a woman and her doctor. While Tim Kaine has a deep and abiding faith in God, he makes no claim to speak or act in God's name. This position honors the First Amendment of the Constitution, sometimes known as the Separation of Church and State.
Jerry W. Kilgore just won't say where he stands on abortion. While he has gone across the state claiming a violent opposition to abortion, claiming that he would criminalize all abortions except in the cases of rape or incest, he simply will not say whether he would work to criminalize abortion if Roe v Wade were overturned by the Supreme Court. His evasiveness earned him derisive laughter at the September 13 debate with Tim Kaine, and he still has not leveled with the people of Virginia or reconciled his position, er... positions.
