Cuccinelli - Science and Icky Lady Parts Hatin'!

In Virginia, the state senate and house of delegates, is decisively in the hands of the GOP. Yup, the GOP. Poor people hatin', oil lovin', gun totin' (loaded, unlocked, and concealed, so watch out!), science disputin' (Ken Cuccinelli!), environment wreckin' (Thanks Guv for cuttin' that gas tax and the credit for alternate fuel vehicles -yer an inspiration! Truly!), democracy disputin' (during the inauguration Monday, the secret vote to cut the pesky 'voters' out of the quadrennial president choosin'), and icky lady-parts pokin' (take that sonogram wand deep ladies!). Well the well groomed GOP folk at the statehouse, under pressure from, you know, the people they represent, were in the process of closing the background check loophole that allows anyone to buy awesome weapons at gun shows. But stroking the long blued barrel of the gun lobby has become instinctive, it seems. Take that Bloomberg!
One thing ya'll have to give these assholes: they are disciplined!

President Barack Obama won Virginia's 13 electoral votes last year and in 2008. Under Carrico's revision, Mitt Romney would have won nine Virginia electors to Obama's four
