Anybody who's following the Virginia Gubernatorial election this year is probably aware of the lack of good candidates this year. Virginians have a choice between:
Democrat McAulliffe who wants to raise taxes even more, ban guns and push other extreme Liberal agendas onto Virginia(see his website for more details).
or
Republican Cuccinelli who is pushing a religious agenda onto Virginia. While he wants to lower taxes and he is pro gun...he wants to ban oral sex(because it might lead to homosexualty...THE HORROR) and he wants to ban gay marriage. Now before I go on, let's get this straight...I have no issue with religion, people should practice whatever they believe. But when they start trying to force their beliefs onto other people, that's where our problems are.
Personally I don't subscribe to the "lesser of two evils" concept. The lesser of two evils is still EVIL. So for a while it was looking like I would not be supporting anyone this year. Then I found out about Robert Sarvis who is running on the Libertarian ticket this year. While some might explain his political principles as "complex", I think his principles exercise basic common sense.
He is:
-Pro gun
-Pro gay marriage
-Lower taxes
-Limited government
-Property rights advocate
-States rights advocate
-Does not believe abortion is a black and white issue
and overall just a good candidate....the kind of candidate I was looking for. I am posting this here because I want other people to be aware of this third choice. He is the moderate of two extremes...the Democratic extremist that wants higher taxes and more government or the religious extremist that wants to ban homosexuality because of his religion.
His campaign website is: Robert Sarvis for Governor of Virginia 2013. I encourage everyone reading this post to at least research him a bit before you write him off. And whether you agree with him or not, help him get into the debates! You cannot talk a good game about your candidate if he refuses to debate with someone!
