Did a search for “Deeds thesis” on the WaPo site. 92 results, and ALL were about McDonnell’s thesis.

Again, please post a link to the article you mentioned, and to Deeds’ graduate thesis, if you have it.

Why is McDonnell’s relevant, but Deeds’ is not?

Are you sure that is not to McDonnell’s? =)

It’s called “research,” Mouse. Try it.

And that’s totally off-topic. Don’t make me ban you, too, Brian.

Mouse – I’m really getting tired of you saying the same thing that is irrelevant to what I’m doing here. The Post looked at the writings of Deeds. Now, if you want to look at them and compare them to his legislative record, get a blog and get at it. Otherwise, stop posting the same inane junk over and over.

Did his opponent engage in such academic exercises?

Agree or disagree – McDonnell cannot make the claim that the thesis was an academic exercise. His attempts to implement its proposals proves that.

Notice that Ward Armstrong voted with McDonnell on all but two of the bills you cite above. On the TANF bill, Deeds had to vote to send it back to committee where it died.

We don’t allow Muslim men to marry more than one wife.

I think the person that is getting this on the head is Jesse Ventura. Marriage is something religious and state should not interfere. All “marriages” should be civi unions. But we can forget about that happening in America. Because of that, I think that gay people should be allowed to get married.

Secondly, there are other religions that allow gays to marry. If we allow polygamy for Muslims based on the right to practice religion as one wishes, why not let 2 Buddhist gays be married? Their religion allows it, so why can’t they get married?

Sounds like McDonnell is in agreement with the 57% of Virginians who voted for the Marriage Amendment, and Deeds is in agreement with the 43% who voted against it.

No wonder McDonnell is ahead in the polls.

I don’t really agree with Bob 100% on this one, I think they should get equal rights, but I don’t think in the state code it should be called marriage. Just copy and paste everything, then find and replace “marriage” with “civil union” and I think everyone can shut-up and be happy.

On a funny note, my poli-sci teacher in college (before I dropped out) said giving gays marriage rights was a bad idea for this reason;

In 20-40 years when being gay is no longer a social issue, same sex adults who live together will get married just to take advantage of the tax incentives. With divorce laws as they are, they could get a divorce and keep all their stuff no problem when they decide to move out.
