Cuccinelli Continues to Bring In Lunatic Extremists for Campaign Events

One of Ken Cuccinelli's big problem is that his extreme record both in the Virginia Senate and as Attorney General has been viewed increasingly negative by Virginia voters.  The Terry McAuliffe campaign has, in my view, properly done all they can to educate the public about the real Ken Cuccinelli.  The result?  56% of likely voters view Cuccinelli negatively.  So what does Cuccinelli do?  He brings in far right lunatics and theocrats to campaign for him, thus confirming everything the McAuliffe campaign has disseminated to voters.  Cuccinelli's list of imported nutcases which ranges from the baby factory Duggar family to Ted Cruz to now, Mike Huckabee.  That's right, the same Mike Huckabee who stated on Morning Joe back in 2008 that he wanted the Bible to replace the United States Constitution as the governing template for the American government.  That's right, he advocated for the overthrow of the Constitution.  And this is who Cuccinelli imports to prove he's "mainstream."  Blue Virginia looks at this delusional effort by Cuccinelli.  Here are highlights:

Just when you think there aren't any more extremist freaks left to campaign for Ken Cuccinelli - Mark Levin, Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley, the Duggars, etc. - another one pops up. Now, it's Mike Huckabee. Why do I call Mike Huckabee an extremist freak? Let us count the ways.

*"Mike Huckabee is strongly opposed to abortion, including in cases of rape or incest. 

*"Huckabee stated in 1992, 'I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk'...Huckabee said that legalizing same-sex marriage would 'be like saying, well, there are a lot of people who like to use drugs so let's go ahead and accommodate those who want to use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accommodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, should we accommodate them?'"
 

*"Huckabee has voiced his support of intelligent design and he has stated that he does not accept the validity of Darwin's theory of evolution." 

*Last but not least, Huckabee is climate science denier, for instance falsely (and bizarrely) claiming that "[t]he volcano that erupted over in Northern Europe actually poured more CO2 into the air in that single act of nature than all of humans have in something like the past 100 years." 

 In sum, Mike Huckabee is a right-wing extremist and stark-raving mad. Which, come to think of it, means he will get along superbly well with Ken Cuccinelli, E.W. Jackson and Mark Obenshain. 

My late mother used to tell me as a child that I needed to be judicious about who I had as friends because I would be judged by the company you keep.  In Cuccinelli's case, the company he keeps underscores that he's both batshit crazy and a religious fanatic. He is, in fact, everything negative that the McAuliffe campaign says he is.  My advice to Cuccinelli (besides coming out of the closet) is that he needs to step outside of the Fox News/Christofasict bubble and touch base with objective reality.
