Information re: his failure as a liberal on issues such as Gay Rights, Abortion, Stem Cell Research and Labor can be found HERE.
Needless to say, I'm not at all pleased with this choice.
In November, when Governor Kaine of the state of Virgina was asked if he would serve as both Governor and DNC chair, Kaine responded, "That's not something I'm going to do. I don't view that, frankly, as consistent with being governor, so I'm going to be governor." --- SOURCE
...Nice. Way to be a hypocrite just by TAKING the job, asshat.
I realize that I'm too liberal for the Democratic Party most of the time, anyway. It would have probably taken the appointment of a full on Socialist to make me actively happy...but I recognize that as not jiving with reality. That said...I'm not only disappointed with this selection, I'm offended. They couldn't do better than this guy? REALLY? How fucking sad is that?
My most offisive finding on this moron has to be the following:
"I do not support any change in the institution of marriage. I do not support the creation of civil unions, but I do believe that gays and lesbians should be able to contract with one another, and we should respect those contracts in Virgina law, just as we respect any contracts." --- SOURCE
...SERIOUSLY?! Excuse me for being alive and all...but I don't attempt to regulate your love life/family into a category in which it doesn't differ at all from buying a car or taking out a loan, how about you stay the fuck outta mine?!
This guy is not only a hater...he's also an idiot. Most liberals are well aware that gays and their allies make up a large portion of the party's base...large enough that they watch what they say when it comes to the issue of gay marriage. Even if they don't want TEH GAYS to OMG get "married" they support civil unions. Not this guy. This should have been political suicide...instead? He's our new leader. Fuck that. I've fucking had it with the Democratic Party.
You wonder why I keep moving further left? This is why. Because the moderate left accepts this fuckery...and I just fucking can't.
I'm livid, no lie. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Governor Kaine also claims a religious opposition to abortion, promotes abstinance {good luck with that} and is opposed to the death penalty but has overseen 8 executions as Governor of Virginia {as of July 2008}. HOLY FAILURE AS A DEMOCRAT, BATMAN. I know! Let's make him our leader!!
At this rate I could be the chair of the RNC. Speaking of, they had their little ridiculous debate thing today. I heard just about all there was to hear via my awesome Twitter friends - honestly, I'd forgotten that it was on today, amongst all the Kaine fuckery. I caught the last 10 minutes or so of it on C-SPAN2. MSNBC wasn't covering it...they were chatting about Gaza. I figure that if MSNBC wasn't covering it...then it's not real vital to my life. I learned NOTHING from what I did see. Perhaps Keith and/or Rachel will tell me more about it later tonight. If not, then I it's *really* not vital for my life.
I was amused, however, via Ana Marie Cox on Twitter...that apparently one of the RNC candidates said something about needing to use "the Facebook" and "the Twitter" to attract young people. ...lmao. Nice.
...oh...and just to be fair...I do have a gripe about MSNBC. Apparently they're planning FULL DAY COVERAGE on Inauguration Day. No, thanks. That's excessive. That would be excessive if fucking HILLARY were becoming President. I'm considering a media blackout on the 20th...I can't take much more of this. Quit talking about change and actually MAKE SOME. How about starting with, oh, I don't know...realizing that the country is in a goddamn finacial crisis worse than ever before in our lifetimes and not spending billions of dollars on inauguration fuckery? How about that?!
Much Frustrated Love,
Meggs
