Cooch sure didn't care about the economy. He wasted time and money trying to legislate anal sex.

Genius!

So the guy that is not Governor yet has issued nothing but some rhetoric.

Odd, that's not what the thread title said.

More lies for the Dems.

Its not lie when I pointed out this is an executive order the governor stated he doing in the press conference.

The title didnt mislead like any thread title there only so much room that is allowed for letters.
Nice try to defect though

This governor believes its citizens deserve equal protection.

Whats wrong with equality.

What is that 2 percent of the population?
I think it is about the same percentage as the percentage of Americans who had their insurance cancelled because it did not meet Obamacare standards. As you said so well, no one cares but them.

Governor-Elect Terry McAuliffe has declared a new day for LGBT equality in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Inclusion and equality won in yesterday’s election, while the politics of hate and discrimination were soundly defeated.

Governor-Elect McAuliffe
"...soundly defeated."??

Tell us again what the vote count was. Seems to me ol' Mac would have to have a sizable margin to "soundly defeat" any body. What percent did he win by? 5%? Less than 5%?
From what I read, he won by a whimper, not a shout.
No "mandate"
No "sound defeat"
Nothing but a bare-bones win.

Without NOVA, it would have gone the other way. Hopefully the GOP got the message.

There is nothing in the Universal handbook on Winning, that states a win has to be by a specific margin.

One single vote is a win. One single point is a win. One nth degree better than your opponent is a win.

You need to re-read the Universal Handbook on Winning.

That Washington crowd will ruin anything it touches. So sad for the normal people in Virginia that they have to be subjected to this man. It is about like the normal people in America being subjected to Obama. It happens and hopefully will change while we still have a country fit to live in.

Good for Terry. Similar orders were put forth by both Governors Warrner and Kaine McDonnell reversed those orders after he became Governor. When state Universities tried to offer the same protections they were told they couldn't offer protections greater than what the state code has by Mr Tea nut Cuccinelli.
