Bob McDonnell - "Just Say Yes"

Blue Virginia has a hysterical story up that demonstrates that the wingnuts, including Bob "Taliban Bob" McDonnell, do not know how to do a simple Google search before adopting what they believe to be a catchy slogan. In this case, McDonnell's campaign is using the phrase "Just Say Yes." Obviously not having checked out other usage of the slogan. The stupidity is just about up there with the wingnuts' use of the term "tea bagging" and "2M4M" never figuring out that the terms have a very different meaning than what they thought. Given how uptight McDonnell is about all things sexual - especially, Heaven forbid, gay sex - either someone inside the campaign is a real joker or else his staff is made up of idiots. And McDonnell wants to lead the state? Here are highlights:

Bob McDonnell has been busy traipsing around Virginia on his much-touted "Just Say Yes!" tour. How positive and uplifting from the party previously still very much known as the "Just Say No to Everything" party. Ha. But wait, it gets funnier. It turns out that using "teh Google" - which the Virginia GOP apparently doesn't know how to do - takes us to an interesting website:

Just Say Yes is about having a positive attitude towards sexuality -- gay, straight,bisexual or whatever. It's about saying "yes" to sex you do want, and "no" to sex you don't. It says there's nothing wrong with you if you decide to have sex, and nothing wrong with you if you decide not to. You have the right to make your own choices, and to have people respect them. Sex is enjoyable when everyone involved is into it, and when everyone has the information they need to take care of themselves and each other.

My only question is whether Bob McDonnell agrees with these sentiments. If so, then I'd say he's made a great deal of progress, and I'm glad to hear it. If not, then I guess what we have here is a classic example of "Republican messaging FAIL."

Somehow I suspect the perennial anti-freedom of religion nag - and most likely sexual frigid - Victoria Cobb of The Family Foundation will not be amused with this approach to sex. She most assuredly doesn't believe that everyone should be free to make their own choices since she wants to make them for you.
