McDonnell Distancing Himself From Cuccinelli?

Politico’s Andy Barr has written a article commenting on the supposed rift between Gov. McDonnell and the Attorney General. While I read Politico regularly and find it a great source of political news, this story is wrought with misconceptions and oversimplifications.

First, the article claims in absolutist terms that McDonnell has effectively distanced himself from Cuccinelli. However, if you actually read the response that McDonnell’s spokeswoman gives in the article, then you will see that is not exactly the case. It also claims that Cuccinelli suggested that President Obama was not a citizen of the United States. I have read the transcript and also listened to the video of what Cuccinelli actually said, and one would have to willing suspend disbelief to believe that Cuccinelli was not talking in a hypothetical fashion.

Secondly, this article could not resist bringing up the issue of “discrimination” that McDonnell and Cuccinelli have been involved with. The article correctly points out that McDonnell issued the original order that was devoid of specific recognition for “sexual orientation,” however, it incorrectly states that he reversed that order. If Politico knew Virginia law, then they would know the difference between an order and a directive. McDonnell’s directive did not reverse his order, it merely pointed out that all people have equal protection under the law, McDonnell and Cuccinelli have held the position, in the past, that all deserve equal protection; nothing more, nothing less.

The bottom line here is that between taking on Obamacare, the EPA, and the homosexual lobby, McDonnell and Cuccinelli have been effective and dynamic in the scope of what they are tackling. This scares the established order in Richmond who like to see politicians fall in line and not take on controversial issues. This also scares the snot out of the progressive establishment that want to destroy any future that McDonnell or Cuccinelli may have.

They are trying to play up a false narrative, and we would do well not to buy into it.
