Republican Ken Cuccinelli II, Virginia’s attorney general, was pilloried in a Democratic campaign commercial for a remark he made criticizing a D.C. law on pest control, which he claimed prevented the killing of rats. On the last full day of campaigning before voters decide Virginia's next governor, Democrat Terry McAuliffe got help from Vice President Joe Biden, while Republican Ken Cuccinelli stumped alongside Sen. Marco Rubio. The Post's Gabe Silverman and Whitney Leaming saw what the candidates and voters had to say.

On the last full day of campaigning before voters decide Virginia's next governor, Democrat Terry McAuliffe got help from Vice President Joe Biden, while Republican Ken Cuccinelli stumped alongside Sen. Marco Rubio. The Post's Gabe Silverman and Whitney Leaming saw what the candidates and voters had to say.

“It is worse than our immigration policy,” Cuccinelli said in a 2012 radio interview. “You can’t break up rat families . . . and you can’t even kill ’em.”

In a Spanish-language television ad that aired last month, Virginia’s Democratic Party denounced the comment — which Cuccinelli’s campaign said was taken out of context.

“He was talking about how disturbing it was that our laws treat rats better than people, because our laws let us break up immigrant families,” Republican Party spokesman Garren Shipley said.

How many seniors and disabled (incl. Alzeimer’s, etc.) were driven to polls to “help” them vote? There are many, many ways the Rat party “helps” people vote, e.g., “here, I’ll help you with that ballot...there, that’s ok, now just stick it in there. Great, here’s some cigarette money.”

If Hispanics are that stupid, let them and their children pay the consequences of it. Democrats will eventually do to them what they have done for black Americans. It’s already happening.

A well prepared article for propaganda. Highlighting Latino voters and implying amnesty bill.

I live in California. We have been telling everyone that lives in other states for years that Mexicans are Democrats and always vote for the freebies. Demographics is destiny.

That the masses will swallow and still feel guilty about not giving more.

The zombie attack is well underway, they are just eating our wallets first.

It’ll all crash sooner or later.

Those on the dole will be hit hardest.

Why don’t we every GTVO. Democrats are good in two areas....they get their people out and they are incredible with IT and computer stuff. We need to fix both of these ASAP. I am so sick of losing elections. It is becoming a trend.

Over 70% of Hispanics vote Democrats if it were the other way around do you think the Dems would be having sanctuary cities for them?

Your right. Look how they are reacting to losing an average of 11 dollars in food stamps. They act like they are going to be out in the streets now.....in fact, they are just going down to their original food stamp amounts. Lord, you would think they were taking all of it away by the way they are acting.

Virginia was smart when it decided to only allow Governor’s a one term. Terry probably can’t destroy Virginia too much.

Latino voters desired to see 129 million Americans lose their insurance and then see a 41% increase in premiums too?

the third world illegal criminal scum that cross our border will NEVER vote for a Conservative, or GOP candidate in any meaningful amount.

Yet, the idiot, evil GOPe panders to these anti-Capitalist, very anti-American third world free loaders.

The GOPe are insane.

It feels good to say, but we pay for them everyday one way or another.
