Why Martin O'Malley & Elizabeth Warren Can Beat Any Repub, Including Walker, Bush, Paul and Cruz

15. It's a primary. Anyone who does not know

that primaries have various candidates to vote for and thus must offer up sexist Reagan officials and homophobic Third Way types has some issues, and anyone who dislikes Hilary so intently that they'd vote for Kaine is just flipping buggy. He has all of her negative qualities three fold and. none of the positives.
Webb, like his emphasis on prison reform. Can't stand anything else about him. Kaine is to me every last thing that is wrong in this Party distilled into a smirking arrogant Virginian.
Kaine, 2005: ""No couples in Virginia can adopt other than a married couple — that's the right policy. Gay individuals should be able to adopt."

Webb, 2004 on John Kerry: "To be sure, Kerry deserves condemnation for his activities as the leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). In the early 1970s, this small organization — never more than 7,000 veterans out of a potential pool of 9 million — became the darling of the anti-war movement and the liberal media. Its activities went far beyond simply criticizing the politics of the war to repeatedly and dishonestly misrepresenting the service of Vietnam veterans and the positive feelings most felt after serving.

Kerry and his VVAW compatriots portrayed their fellow veterans as unwilling soldiers, morally debased and haunted by their service. While this might have fit a small minority, the most accurate survey, done by the Harris Poll in 1980, showed that 91% of those who went to Vietnam were "glad they served their country," 74% "enjoyed their time in the military" and 89% agreed with the statement that "our troops were asked to fight in a war which our political leaders in Washington would not let them win."

Kerry's own comments were filled with hyperbolic exaggerations that sought to make egregious acts seem commonplace. During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in 1971, he testified that fellow veterans had routinely "raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan." With those words, he defamed a generation of honorable men. No matter how he spins it today, at a minimum, he owes them a full and complete apology."

So. Webb and Kaine. Want a link to Kaine parsing his words on marriage equality at a Third Way Breakfast in 2012? Can do if you wish.
