Hightower Report: Ken the Sex Cop for Governor

[font color=green]Excuse me for invading your state group, but I thought that ya'll might get a kick out of the following article from the Hightower Report.[/font]

As they say, politics makes strange bedfellows. Take Anthony Weiner. Please!

But the twisted tweeter of New York City politics is hardly alone in the strange world of oversexed campaigns – and at least he wasn't trying to put his strangeness into law, like Ken Cuccinelli is doing. Ken, the far right-wing attorney general of Virginia, is now running for governor. But it turns out that he really wants to be Virginia's top sex cop, patrolling people's bedrooms.

That state's official tourist slogan brags that "Virginia Is For Lovers." But not if they're into anything icky, snaps Cuccinelli, who's pushing hard to reinstate a "Crimes Against Nature Law," which was declared unconstitutional by a 2003 Supreme Court ruling.

Ken loved that law because it banned sex that he finds unnatural, which apparently is everything beyond "doing it" in the missionary position. In particular, the law declared that it's a "crime against nature" (and the state), "If any person carnally knows ... any male or female person ... by or with the mouth." Yes, that's a ban on oral sex. Even by consenting adults, including married adults, in the privacy of their own bedrooms! Cuccinelli, who masquerades as a small government conservative, finds that icky – and, by God, he wants his personal hang-up enshrined in law and enforced by government agents.

[font color=green]At the end of the article was this posted comment:

I must give Cucc some credit. He really has young voters interested in politics. My soon to be 18 yr old son and all his eligible friends can't wait to vote against the man who is trying to ban bj's.

He's going to hire Peeping Toms to do his dirty work. radicalliberal Aug 2013 #2
Invade away. Any opponent to Cuccinelli is a friend to Virginia and the DU VA group. n/t FSogol Aug 2013 #3
