Sorry, McDonnell, your thesis is telling

Bob McDonnell claims he has changed his views since writing his master's thesis, but his record says otherwise.

Several bills that he supported or sponsored in 1997, 2002, 2003, and 2004 indicate that he favors allowing drug companies to exclude an option for contraceptives in their prescription-drug plan; would allow doctors, nurses, and pharmacists to refuse to provide birth control; and would define contraception as abortion.

Because past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, Bob McDonnell is not the governor I want controlling the Health Department. He should not have the power to deny contraceptive access to women.

This is one reason I support Creigh Deeds, who trusts women to make their own decisions about their reproductive health.

I don't think Wright and Robertson is a good comparison. But as twisted as the media and the people seem to be these days, they would probably fall for it. Since McDonnell and Robertson are white, it would seem bad to call them racist, which they are not. But to call Obama and Wright racist, which they seem to be, would be horrible, so I will not do that.

It is very easy for you and people like you to simply scream out, "You are a Liar." I am not lying and you look look very foolish. You, as well as those like you, use this as a defense because your house of cards have been tumbling down on you for some time now and you really do not have the strength or ability to stop these cards from falling and you think screaming out liar will do it. It does not. It only shows your ever increasing weakness.

I am not a liar. Look at the list of individual supporters. Look at where the money comes from. The Robertsons and Jay Sekulow (they are a team) have contributed over 60K (since June). There is no reporting as of yet their contributions since then. The glaring support is from corporations outside of the State of Virginia, Please don't call me a liar anymore.

Simply because Shelia Johnson backs someone does not mean they are the right person for the job. This woman owns a woman's basketball team and is voting for a person that is against women working and votes against equal pay for women. I don't know what here agenda is and don't really care. Mr. McDonnell will win because Deeds is a Dud and offers very little. However, McDonnell is a liar and his track records speaks for itself.
