Bob McDonnell, the Republican nominee for Governor of Virginia, had to have a dirty past. He had to. All Republican politicians do.
And now, thanx to Amy Gardener at The Washington Post, we know what it is.

And it comes as no surprise whatsoever.

It has been discovered that McDonnell wrote a Master’s Thesis, at age 34, for an Evangelical school in Virginia Beach, VA, that contained some language that could only be described as Un-American to it’s very core.
It seems that Mr. McDonnell, at age 34, felt that

“working women were detrimental to the family” and that “government should penalize unmarried “cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators,". That divorce should be further restricted, and that family is “God-ordained government” untouchable by civil law.”

Creigh Deeds: American/Bob McDonnell: Taliban

Ahhhh, I love it when the beast unwittingly shows it’s devilish face for all to see. “There is no lie that will not be uncovered". The words are true and span the ages.
What better disguise for Satan than that of a servant of God?
This is the Evangelical mindset. McDonnell is now exposed for the fraudulent “person of faith” he’s been found to be.

In a stammering attempt at damage control, McDonnell told the media that “the idea that a 20-year-old academic exercise somehow represents my 18-year career in public service is just a flat misrepresentation,”

He was 34 when this was written. It contained 96 well developed pages that he considered an “action plan for the religious right". Or Taliban, if you will.
I don’t think the “I was young and stupid” argument is going to fly here, Bobby boy. 34 is a seasoned adult anywhere in the world.
My views have not changed significantly in the last twenty years. There’s no reason to believe his did.
Either McDonnell was lying to the church, or he’s lying to us now.
Either way, he’s a liar. And his history of supported legislation in Virginia supports his “thesis” handily.

Take another look, Virginia. McDonnell is exposed for the America hating Evanganoid whack-job we all knew he was deep down inside.

Deeds isn’t perfect. But at least he’s not Taliban.

Va. GOP Candidate Wrote on Women, Marriage and Gays

At age 34, two years before his first election and two decades before he would run for governor of Virginia, Robert F. McDonnell submitted a master’s thesis to the evangelical school he was attending in Virginia Beach in which he described working women and feminists as “detrimental” to the family. He said government policy should favor married couples over “cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.” He described as “illogical” a 1972 Supreme Court decision legalizing the use of contraception by unmarried couples.

The 93-page document, which is publicly available at the Regent University library, culminates with a 15-point action plan that McDonnell said the Republican Party should follow to protect American families – a vision that he started to put into action soon after he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates.

During his 14 years in the General Assembly, McDonnell pursued at least 10 of the policy goals he laid out in that research paper, including abortion restrictions, covenant marriage, school vouchers and tax policies to favor his view of the traditional family. In 2001, he voted against a resolution in support of ending wage discrimination between men and women.
