Illuminating article - does not reflect well on Jerry Kilgore. He was given a chance to apologize for a staff member's intemperate attack on VCDL's Philip Van Cleave yet he stands by his staff and still refuses to answer the VCDL survey. Kaine has answered the survey - why won't Kilgore? It is unlikely Kaine will try to attack him over gun rights - is Kilgore afraid that his answers will commit him to vote for pro-gun bills?

If Kilgore becomes Governor I expect another Gilmore - all pro-gun bills will be quietly killed before they come to his desk.

"I don't want [VCDL members] to take it as an insult," he said. "I just want them to look at our records and move beyond this and recognize which candidate is the candidate that supports gun owners' rights. They don't need a survey to decide that."

While I agree that Tucker Martin's comment was, at best, unfortunate, if the VCDL members are serious about their issues then they realize this quote from Kilgore is exactly right.

But, if they think they'd be anywhere better off with Governor Kaine, then perhaps their credibility is indeed suspect.

This is not very surprising. I was not happy that the next in line to becom Repub gubernatorial candidate was the AG who announced his top priority was enforcing 'domestic violence' laws. This was nothing more than either pandering to fem libs to hope to get some traction for the governor's race or reflects RINO attitudes about men especially white middle class men are the problem and that the 'gun culture' only makes things worse. Kilgore is another of these sapsucking moderates who will quietely support more tax expansion sellouts by repub 'moderates' in the General Assembly.

I won't vote for Kilgore until he answers the VCDL survey.

Why can't the VCDL just accept the NRA endorsement and go with it? Do they have any idea how many of these "surveys" the candidates are asked to fill out?
