Raising Kaine

As the Clinton/Kaine ticket gets under way, much is known of Hillary Clinton on the national scene: Her history as former First Lady, former senator, and former secretary of state — and the scandals which accompanied each of those positions — has been well reported and is well known, if not well accepted. Tim Kaine (shown), on the other hand, is another matter. His political career has been confined to Virginia and so — with rare exception — has his media coverage. Who is Tim Kaine?

Michael Timothy Kaine’s political career began in the 1980s at Harvard when he met, courted, and eventually married Anne Holton, the daughter of Linwood Holton, who served as governor of Virginia from 1970 to 1974. After they were married, they settled in Richmond, Virginia, where they both practiced law. Kaine also taught law at the prestigious — and liberal — University of Richmond School of Law. In 1994, he was elected to the Richmond city council. Four years later, he was elected by the council as mayor of Richmond, and served until 2001.

It was during his time as mayor that the “moderate” Democrat first encountered any real controversy. After the anti-gun Million Mom March in Washington, D.C., in May 2000 — which, of course, had nowhere near a million moms marching — Kaine was called on the carpet for using $6,000 in taxpayer funds to pay for buses to carry marchers from Richmond to the march. In the wake of the controversy, he raised the funds to reimburse the city. It does say something about the man, though, that he lacked a moral check on using taxpayer money to pay for the advancement of his own political agenda.

Kaine is a lying sleazeball.

[TigersEye]

Yeah, but is he really up to handling Clinton level calumny?

Can he handle this job?

"...Kaine was called on the carpet for using $6,000 in taxpayer funds to pay for buses to carry marchers from Richmond to the march..."

A corrupt, scuzzy, typical RAT. That is what they do. Paying people to go to demonstrations, spending money they shouldn't to print materials for them and bribe them into going, giving free time and even college credits to people who go, giving time off for union people with pay to attend. Liberals suck, period. And this guy crawls with the lowest of them.

I know people who have some kind of political relationship with this POS, and they think he walks on water.

Tim Kaine, like other Democrats, is corrupt and has a disordered mind. He supports the killing of babies. Not sure how he justifies that position, given he pretends to be a Catholic. Abortion is cold blooded murder of innocents.

Kaine supports an increasingly satanic agenda pretending that gender confusion is NOT a treatable mental disorder, supporting same sex marriage, spending other people's money, making America second rather than first in trade, illegal immigration, and foreign affairs.

He fits in well with crooked Hillary.

Kaine is a lying sleazeball.

Perhaps. But if Hillary is really as sick as she appears (and our electorate is really as stupid and corrupt as it seems) you are looking at your next President.

[Paleo Pete]

Did we really need to read this to know the guy? I mean think about it...

He’s Hillary Clinton’s VP choice. Tell you anything?

Dear Washington,

America is coming.

And they’re bringing Donald J Trump.

[Leep]

And they’re bringing Donald J (the J in this case stands for Justice) Trump.

[RideForever]

Imagine the anguish Trump would cause if he stated that Hillary will be lucky to be alive for an inauguration, so he is focusing on Kaine instead. Talk about a pivot!

As Kaine has continued to climb the political ladder, he has also continued to move to further and further to the left and progress in his abandonment of whatever principles he may have ever had. He appears to have made some sort of Faustian deal for political power: He has violated his oath of office wherein he swore before God that he would uphold the Constitution, and he has likewise abandoned his faith, though he claims otherwise.

Kaine describes himself as a “faithful” and “traditional Catholic,” even while supporting same-sex “marriage” and abortion. This dichotomy has caused more than one Catholic clergyman to publicly call Kaine out as an example of a bad Catholic. Fr. Thomas Petri, a Catholic priest in Washington, D.C., tweeted, “Senator @timkaine: Do us both a favor. Don’t show up in my communion line. I take Canon 915 seriously. It’d be embarrassing for you & for me.” Canon 915 forbids priests from administering Holy Communion to those who are excommunicated or obstinately persevere in grave sin.

If I recall correctly, Fr. Petri (Lord bless him) got in trouble for that tweet from Cardinal Wuerl.

"On a range of bills dealing with everything from national security to federal involvement in housing to the environment to immigration to taxes to forcing employers to fund contraception, Kaine has voted the exact opposite of the Constitution 99 percent of the time."
