Tony Perkins, Family Research Council, notes how Kaine plans to disrespect Virginia's voters...
"Speaking of throwing a bone to the Left, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (D) has asked his staff to put together a proposal before he leaves office that would give state employees same-sex partner benefits. Kaine's successor, Bob McDonnell, is an outspoken opponent of special rights, but it would be his mess to clean up when he takes over for the Kaine next month. According to the Washington Post, "a change of this magnitude" would take a year and a half to implement. Of course, it's taken a lot less time for the idea to rile up conservatives, who--like New Jersey--see this as a gutless move meant to please a radical constituency after liberals lost in November's elections. Governors Corzine and Kaine could have acted on this agenda earlier, but both were too afraid of voter backlash--which, ironically, they couldn't avoid anyway."
