WASHINGTON -- The gubernatorial race in Virginia is raising eyebrows across the nation thanks to the seemingly archaic views of the Republican vying for the job -- in particular, Ken Cuccinelli's desire to bring back laws that would outlaw oral and anal sex between any two people.

Rabidly religious... Hopefully the electorate has enough sense not to elect this guy... get ready for Saudi Arabian style "morality police" if he is elected.

Welcome to Canuckistian:

We have no law in Canada such as the one this idiot wants to make. Not sure why you would say welcome.

Because its against the law to anally rape someone?

My mistake........but this part:

(i) if the consent is extorted by force, threats or fear of bodily harm or is obtained by false and fraudulent misrepresentations respecting the nature and quality of the act,

How does one interpret the “quality of the act”?

[guyser]

How does one interpret the “quality of the act”?

it refers the physical nature of the act , not the moral quoality.

See M'Naghten Rules.

Even if he were elected, he wouldn't be able to change the laws on his own; ie: no need to get ready for any such thing.

Oral sex a felony. That should do wonders for the prison population in the US. Wonder if this guy's campaign contributors includes the private prison corporations...

I sure hope not, and besides, I thought Virginia was for lovers.

I really don't understand where some of these guys are coming from, no doubt he's also anti birth control and of course anti choice. The most rabid of them do believe the pill and some other forms are 'abortifacients

Evidently not all lovers.

He really is standing alone on this; as the article indicates, even his fellow Republicans don't support him. I'm sure he's anti just about everything - and I'm sure he does believe that the pill and some other forms of birth control are 'abortifacients' as you said, but I believe that was the stand of the Catholic church until recently.

Cuccinelli will be an excellent partner for E. W. Jackson, the Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Virginia.

E.W. is a fundamentalist minister who believes that yoga is from Satan, sin causes birth defects, and evolution is a lie because monkeys haven't learned to talk. And there's going to be a massive wealth transfer, and it's not going to come because of government policies, it's going to be supernatural: people who believe in Jesus are going to reap a windfall!

And by the way, homosexuals are mentally ill and worse than the KKK. And Medicaid is worse than slavery.

And by the way, if you decide not to vote for E.W. Jackson because you think he's a religious wacko, you're discriminating against his religious beliefs and violating his rights.

They may sound pretty wacky, but Cuccinelli and Jackson will win, because they're Republicans and Virginia is one of those states.

"Even fellow Republicans aren't fans of Cuccinelli's."

Anti-sodomy laws in all US states were struck down by the US Supreme Court in 2003. Even if Cuccinelli were able to get this law, it would be struck down.

As an aside, this is an example of why pieces of dog-crap like Rick Perry and Rick Santorum are "States Rights" supporters. Rick Perry's mad that the Supreme Court struck down Texas' anti-sodomy law 10 years ago, but it's not because he's anti-gay, it's because he's pro-States Rights. Rick Santorum thinks that the Supreme Court ruling that struck down the Connecticut law against contraception was wrong, but it's not because Rick Santorum is anti-women, it's because he's pro-States Rights.

Craziness.

Oh my... If this is who the state elects, they don't have a chance at good government. Wow.

Virginia, "one of those states," voted for Obama.

[kimmy]

I'm happy to be wrong; Ken Cuccinelli was narrowly defeated tonight, losing to a Democrat who has something less than a stellar reputation himself.

E.W. Jackson lost the Lt. Gov race by a considerably larger margin, and claims he is the victim of religious persecution.

Well, the blacks did anyway...

The whites voted 61% for Romney.
