Northam touts gay rights, opposition to NRA in first TV ad of Virginia governor's race

Democratic Lt. Gov. Ralph S. Northam is highlighting gay marriage, gun violence and opposition to President Donald Trump in the first TV commercial of Virginia’s gubernatorial primary season.

The ad buy seven weeks ahead of the June 13 primary, described by the Northam campaign as a “substantial, six-figure buy across Virginia,” underscores Northam’s financial advantage over Democratic rival Tom Perriello and the changing tone of Democratic campaigns in a purple state trending blue. The Northam campaign said the ad is believed to be the first in a gubernatorial race to mention marriage equality.

The ad features a testimonial from Tim Bostic and Tony London, a gay couple who successfully sued to end Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage.

In other words, he has nothing to make the case for his becoming Governor except for faggotry and fascism.

So Ralphie loves sexual deviants and hates Americans who choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights? The perfect “democrat” politician. I’ll bet he’s big ISIS and illegal alien fan also. IOW, he’s your typical ‘RAT fruitcake.

Throw in unlimited illegal immigration, abortion on demand and bathroom access for trannies and you have the foundation of the democrat party platform

A sure fire winner with the working class

He’s completely beatable, except the VAGOP is insisting on a Designated Loser named Ed Gillespie (R-Cheap Labor Express) who lost his bid for a Senate seat because he refused to use Warner’s vote for Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill against him.
If we can nominate Corey Stewart we can win.
Ed Gillespie will lose.
No matter how bad the Democrat is.

Because the gay rights advocates are keeping this travesty in our faces 24/7 lest we forget and that it’s taken years for this abomination to come full circle and we’ll be reminded of it daily. God will not forget. Pray.....

"Gay Rights" - an oxymoron if there ever was one.

Choosing to be gay doesn't confer special God-given "rights" (Gay rights may be man-given, but man-given "rights" are not necessarily valid). On the contrary, sodomy is abhorrent, deviant, and sinful. Moreover, the Constitution gives the feds NO authority or power over such matters.

The "gay" lifestyle is anything but "gay" (in the traditional use of the word to mean "joyful"), but sad, indicative of serious emotional/personality dysfunction as well as a spreader of dangerous HIV disease.

The world is on a collision course with Reality not unlike Sodom and Gomorrah.

He hits all the bases in that ad, if it’s the same one I saw on tv. Gay marriage, anti gun, racism, abortion. He’s a real piece of work.

Hmmm. Didn’t someone post something yesterday about the former (p)resident saying he “considered being gay” when he was younger? Considered? Uh, that kinda makes it sound like a choice doesn’t it?

I'm afraid this is true. Until the cowardly Republicans in the Commonwealth figure out a way to fix this problem, another Republican will take statewide office again in Virginia even though, s/he's actually won.

Actual “gays” might want to think twice about RKBA. It’s unlikely that westerners will endeavor to seriously harm them, but Muslims are another story.

The massacre of “gay” people at the “gay” club in Florida probably wouldn’t have been nearly as bad had RKBA been exercised there.

Sodom was a horror worse than even the modern libertine customs. Somehow, homosexuality got fused with Sodom’s city hall and a demand to rape Lot’s guests ensued.

Had Lot had an AK-15 and its ammo, that story would have ended differently.

Yeah, you would think huh. Maybe some more vids of moose limbs engaging in a little gay roof tossing might make them re-consider. Or at least join the Pink Pistols.
