Bob McDonnell says living your sex life how you choose is “perverted”

It’s now well known that Bob McDonnell attacks birth control and Roe vs. Wade in his thesis. In fact, on pages 7, 8, and 9, he attacks numerous Supreme Court rulings that protect people’s privacy and personal freedoms. Bob vehemently opposes these rulings and says,

The view of marriage as an indissoluable lifelong commitment has been abandoned. In its wake is the perverted notion of liberty that each individual should be able to live his sexual life in any way he chooses without interference from the state.


Interesting. Bob McDonnell usually says he is anti-regulation and government interference.
 

McDonnell decried regulation of financial markets and advocated a war on excessive regulation in the midst of the economic meltdown.

He linked social conservatism to economic conservatism, decrying government regulation of financial markets, a prelude to a 2008 speech when, in the wake of Wall Street's near-implosion, he heralded "a war on excessive government regulation." (Washington Post, 10/11/09)


McDonnell “praised” the efforts of George W. Bush to “relax regulations.”

The Republican nominee, former state Attorney General Bob McDonnell, said he preferred the policies of his party colleagues, Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. … McDonnell praised the efforts by both Bushes to hold down taxes, relax regulations on industry…” (Bloomberg, 10/13/09, http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aAmbYJFR_XJQ)


McDonnell said past Republican Presidents' efforts to lower regulation “are ideas that have helped.”

You might suspect the likely answer for me is the Republicans have done a better job. … I think all those presidents and all those governors have done some good things. Every President, every leader, tries to put in place the policies that will promote jobs and entrepreneurship, but I think the Republican presidents that have invested in lower taxes and limited regulation … I think those are the ideas that have helped.

No regulations for Wall Street or corporations. But regulations for your sex life. That’s Bob McDonnell.

McDonnell Served on Board of a University with a Policy that Discriminates Against Women in Hiring Decisions On page 34 of Bob McDonnell’s blueprint, he writes, If the government at all levels has a duty to uphold the family, then it follows that it has the authority to legitimately discriminate in support of this goal. Luckily, McDonnell hasn’t been overly successful imposing his views at the government level. But hiring policies at Regent University, where McDonnell served on the Board of regents for seven years, follow Bob’s thinking. The Washington Post observed In 1996, McDonnell became a member of Regent's Board of Trustees, a position in which he served until 2004. By then, the Titus view on...

Bob wants corporal punishment in schools, but under his plan to cut 5.4 billion in education, the classrooms would take the real hit On page 7 of his blueprint, while talking about the public school system, Bob writes that, Values that had historically provided strength to the family, such as firm discipline and corporal punishment, patriotism, and academic achievement, were either attacked, or given token attention. Patriotism and academic achievement… definitely. But corporal punishment? Really?? To learn more, visit http://bobmcdonnellblueprint.com/education/

Bob's Thesis

At age 34, months away from launching his political career, Bob McDonnell outlined his governing philosophy in a 93-page thesis that promoted his rigid ideological agenda. The Washington Post called the document a “blueprint” and “a vision that he started to put into action soon after he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates.” To learn more, visit http://bobmcdonnellblueprint.com/
