Tim Kaine: "I’ll enforce the death penalty as governor and I’m against same-sex marriage."

"I’m conservative on personal responsibility, character, family and the sanctity of life. These are my values, and that’s what I believe."

His rating with conservative groups is 0. His ratings with liberal groups is primarily 100, with a 94 snuck in. This is the definition of moderate in the modern media.

Bill Clinton said the same thing in 1992 and we all know what a big conservative he turned out to be.

Next, they'll be telling us that Kaine is a fiscal conservative because VA had a balanced budget and is middle of the road on Abortion because he is "personally" against it.

rcocean म्हणाले...

I for one am "personally" against cannibalism but don't want to impose my beliefs on others.

Look at Kaine's record in the Senate. He's voted the straight liberal party line.

That's the real Kaine.

Ha, I saw this buzzfeed thing a long time ago. It's funny for Althouse to latch on to it.

This is the definition of moderate in the modern media.

Remember, anybody to the right of Stalin (i.e. Hitler) is right wing, because Stalin represents the center. At least according to leftists, who will tell you that they are moderate centrists if you ask them; It's right wingers who are the extremists.

He's a nutball social conservative then.

Against gay marriage and for civil unions would be okay.

eric म्हणाले...

I'm curious, Althouse.

Do you believe him, or is this like when Obama and Clinton said they were for traditional marriage but then later evolved?

Is this one of those harmless lies that helps them get votes from the more traditional amongst us, like Catholic hispanics and evangelical blacks?

अनामित म्हणाले...

Does he smoke cigars like Bill Clinton?

Lewis Wetzel म्हणाले...

Today I listened to the post-convention Ricochet podcast. A few members of the round table said that they would rather have the house and senate under GOP control with Hillary as Prez, than the house and senate under GOP control with Trump as Prez. They also said that they would never vote for Hillary, and I thought "why not?"
If you are so frightened of Trump as head of state that you, as a Republican, prefer Hillary, you should join the Democrats and vote for Hillary.
Let's have some consistency, here.
After Kaine's words on immigration I will vote for Trump. I am an honest, hardworking, tax paying American citizen and I will be damned if I will have any part of a political party that considers me a lesser citizen.

Look at the dates of these ads and compare to what BHO and HRC were saying back then.

You'll quickly see the nothing burger that Althouse seems to have missed.

अनामित म्हणाले...

Maybe it's a signal to Althouse readers that Althouse might consider voting for Hillary because she has such a "conservative" running mate. Think? Maybe she wants to break it to her readers easy, so as not to have a major reader meltdown when she tells you who she voted for.

Darrell म्हणाले...

Kaine isn't able.

If he believes in personal responsibility and the sanctity of life, he has a duty to oppose abortion, and seek to end abortion both personally and professionally.

No, she likes meltdowns. Y'all are new around here, ain't you?

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

"Kaine isn't able."

Very clever. Presumably you're the first to think of that?

rcocean म्हणाले...

Wrote it before, will write it again.

Kaine is Harvard Law. Supports TPP, open borders, globalization, Wall street bailouts, planned parenthood, Obamacare, Gay marriage, affirmative action, etc.

He's no more a "Moderate" than Bill Clinton is.

Gahrie म्हणाले...

Maybe she wants to break it to her readers easy, so as not to have a major reader meltdown when she tells you who she voted for.

None of her long time readers will be a bit surprised if she comes out the day after the election and says she voted for Hillary.

Most of us are here despite her politics, not because of them.

Lewis Wetzel म्हणाले...

I think the fault with people like Kaine, who say that they oppose abortion personally, believe that it is the taking of a human life, etc., and yet still support public funding of abortion, is that despite their own words, they, themselves, are willing to pay for a woman to have an abortion.

HeidiCruise says: "Maybe it's a signal to Althouse readers that Althouse might consider voting for Hillary because she has such a "conservative" running mate. Think?"

Good lord, Heidi, I for one do not care who Althouse votes for. Is that what taking part in discussions here is all about - deciding what Althouse thinks so we can then react to Althouse? I for one won't vote for either Trump or Hillary, since I believe neither one offers the nation anything of value. If Althouse, or you for that matter, vote differently, I will be happy to live with it and with you and go from there. It may seem odd to you, but I come from a time and place where EVERYONE I ever knew felt exactly as I do about this. I hope that time and place returns some day.

Kaine: The other boys? There aren't any other boys, Hiilary. It's just you and me.
Hillary: [nervously smiles and chuckles] You're jokin'.
Kaine: No, I couldn't get anybody.
Hillary: I don't believe it. This country ain't that low.
Kaine: I couldn't get anybody.
Hillary: Then it's just you and me.
Kaine: I guess so.
Hillary: You and me against Trump and all the rest of them?
Kaine: That's right. Do you want out, Hillary?
Hillary: Well, it isn't that I want out, no. You see. Look, I'll tell ya the truth. I didn't figure on anything like this, Kaine.
Kaine: Neither did I.

Yeah I've been around since 2004 and a HRC vote by Althouse has always been a near cinch especially since I can't see her voting for Trump this year. But she's so often read incorrectly by commenters that I can say for sure, if you think you know, you're wrong.

Lydia म्हणाले...

I don’t think so -- look how he defined “character” for us in his speech at the rally with Hillary in Miami:

If you want to try to judge the character of people in politics, I will tell you how to do with, and it is really simple. Look at their life and see if they have a passion in their life that they have long before they got into politics, a passion that is not about themselves, a passion that is about somebody else, and then see if they have held onto that passion through thick or thin, in good times or bad, come hell or high water, and see if they have held onto it all of the time, and that is character, and that is our kids and families first Hillary Clinton!

Forget corruption, etc., just look for that passion. A guy who really struggles with his conscience. Right.

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

Drill,

I don't think any pol will ever be accused of BS pandering because Trump raised the standard to some alternate universe:

“I have a message for all of you: The crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20, 2017, safety will be restored,”

rcocean म्हणाले...

A change in leadership is required to get a change in outcomes. Tonight, I will share with you my plan of action for America. The most important difference between our plan and that of our opponent, is that our plan will put America First. Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo. As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America First, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect—the respect that we deserve.”

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

Is that more BS to go from Trump to go w/ my quote from him?

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

At least BHO said that it would be several generations down the road that would look back and see that we started to make changes that would limit the rate at which the seas would rise.

And then, cons quickly removed the nuance to claim BHO was parting the Red Sea. Trump throws out the fine print himself. Throwing out the fine print is not trivial. It turns lawyerly accurate into F-ing BS. These are quite different things.

YoungHegelian म्हणाले...

“I’ll enforce the death penalty as governor and I’m against same-sex marriage.

In 2005, this was acceptable speech within the Democratic Party Line. About 2013, that all changed. What happened in the great big world that made that change is another matter, but it changed & such thoughts became "evil-speak" in the Democratic Party.

Just like, overnight, the Party Line changed when Hitler invaded the Soviet Union.

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

YoungH as a fan of history surely appreciates the upbeat tone of foreign leaders who wanted to make American Great:

"I am very glad to be able to express my friendly feelings toward the American nation. Friendship with which Italy looks at millions of citizens who, from Alaska to Florida, from the Pacific to the Atlantic, live in the United States, Italy is deeply rooted in our hearts. This feeling created by mutual interests so contributed to preparation of an even brighter era in the lives of both nations.

I greet with wonderful energy the American people and I see and recognize among you the salt of your land, as well as ours, my fellow citizens who are working to make America great.

I salute the great American people. I salute the Italians of America who unite in a single love of two nations."


Sebastian म्हणाले...

“I’m conservative on issues of personal responsibility,” Kaine said. “As a former Christian missionary, faith is central to my life. I oppose gay marriage, I support restrictions on abortion — no public funding and parental consent — and I’ve worked to pass a state law banning partial-birth abortion.” The usual dissimulation. Just what you'd expect from a very boring Dem. Perfect for the Althouses of the world. "As a former Christian missionary" is a nice touch though. Goes O one better, who "as a Christian" believed marriage was between a man and a woman.

wildswan म्हणाले...

Trump was silent on abortion during his speech but probably supports it (personally). Kaine said he opposed it (personally). Who then is more opposed?

It's easy to see that major players want the issue to go away. And that's strange because people are just beginning to realize the implications of the birth crash which is a consequence of contraception/abortion as we know it. That is, boomers are just now realizing what exactly are the consequences of the demographic regime they chose thirty years ago when they made reproductive choices. They did not realize they were choosing their type of old age pension (insufficient) when they chose the number of their children (below replacement level) but they were doing both.

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

Btw, thinking about how some of us will look to historians in the future, this is interesting:

"As the number of Italians coming to the United States increased, so did tensions with those already here. In 1920, The Washington Post editorialized for new constraints on immigration from Southern Europe, saying that "the alien scum from the cesspools and sewers of the Old World has polluted the clear spring of American democracy.""

How many cons would like to see this sort of wapo editorializing today, re Muslims and Mexicans?

I'm not yet prepared to believe Althouse would do that, but I think millions of American women, once they've stepped into the privacy of the voting booth, will loosen their belts, pull the front of their panties out a few inches, stare down, and say to themselves, "Yes!! THAT's why I'm voting for Hillary!!!"

For some reason, I don't the overwhelmingly male membership of the UK Conservative party did the same when they elected Maggie to be PM.

@PB&J,

Is that boilerplate quotation from Mussolini supposed to have any relevance here?

The FDR administration had many folks in it that admired Fascist Italy. Fascist Italy was never the moral abomination that National Socialism appeared to be. And, besides, for those of a dirigiste frame of mind, like many FDR apparatchniks, they admired the fact that in 1932, the country in Europe that had the highest percentage of state ownership of the means of production was the USSR. The second was Italy.

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

wildswan,

I could be wrong, but I'd bet that plenty of well of gals had abortions from F-ing around as kids, and then went on to careers and families of good dough levels.

Do we know for sure that these young girls would be financially better off in the long run (as you say) if they started raising children when they were barely out of childhood themselves? We already have all sorts of folks w/ not enough skills or education to fulfill the sort of high paying job positions which currently have very low unemployment numbers. From you POV which is focused on dollars and cents, would it be better to have more poor, uneducated folks who can't do the work that is in demand?

In the aftermath of the Obergefell decision, progressive politics became a full-fledged American religion. Progressives finally sanctified self-willfulness, all consensual sex, abortion, and same sex marriage. Christians, to avoid punishment, you must follow in the footsteps of self-described traditional Catholic Tim Caine and realign your beliefs to the progressive religion. But don't worry, you can still sit in your favorite church pew on Sundays, the model of hypocrisy.

You describe a situation where Christians can have zero abortions, zero gay spouses and zero sex. And, they can go to church 24/7.

It's hard to feel too bad for them because they can't stop other people from having sex and such. Likewise, is it really that awful that they can't force other folks to go to church on Sunday or any other time?

YoungHegelian म्हणाले...

@PB&J,

Did you did see the second quote? Last time I checked "scum" was not a nice thing to say about folks.

Well, yes, that's true. But I have no idea how you intended to join those two quotes together to mean anything. They seem to me to be completely unrelated, & I spoke only to the Mussolini quote.

By the way, those folks, like the WaPo, who wished to keep out those nasty southern Italian types, they weren't just the political ancestors of nasty, modern, xenophobic Trumpites. They were also the Progressive ancestors of modern liberalism, too. Wilson & his cohort, too, wanted to keep the rabble in line so that "the adults in the room" could run things. Like this:

"Who Willed American Participation” (editorial) The New Republic, April 14, 1917, 308-310.

“The American nation is entering this war under the influence of a moral verdict reached after the utmost deliberation by the more thoughtful members of the community. They gradually came to a decision that the attack made by Germany on the international order was sufficiently flagrant and dangerous to justify this country in abandoning its cherished isolation and in using its resources to bring about German defeat. But these thoughtful people were always a minority. They were able to impose their will upon a reluctant or indifferent majority partly because the increasingly offensive of German military and diplomatic policy made plausible opposition to American participation very difficult, but still more because of the overwhelming preponderance of pro-Allies conviction in the intellectual life of the country. If the several important professional and social groups could have voted separately on the question of war and peace, the list of college professors would probably have yielded the largest majority in favor of war, except perhaps that contained in the Social Register. A fighting anti-German spirit was more general among physicians, lawyers and clergymen than it was among business men except those with Wall Street and banking connections. Finally, it was not less among writers on magazines and in the newspapers. They popularized what the college professors had been thinking. Owing to this consensus of influences opposition to pro-Allies orthodoxy became intellectually somewhat disreputable, and when a fateful decision had to be made this factor counted with unprecedented and overwhelming force. College professors headed by a President who had himself been a college professor contributed more effectively to the decision in favor of war than did the farmers, the business men or the or the politicians.”

YoungH,

I bring up these historical references not to point to who may have been expressing them during their era. I'm asking who in today's politics is echoing them? You can claim that HRC (because of her self identification as a progressive), rather than DJT(because of his self identification as a person w/ near-demigod fixit capabilities), is echoing them. It's a free country.

BTW, what do you think about Kasparov saying Trump reminds him of Putin? To me it's interesting because I've seen Kasparov ripping BHO apart on Fox. In other words, if anything I'd think he may have a pro R POV.

And what I'm saying is it's the Democrats who are echoing the 1920's Progressive's love of all things "expert", & using that love against democracy by the "wrong kind of people".

BTW, what do you think about Kasparov saying Trump reminds him of Putin?

Trump reminds me more of Putin than Hillary does, too. I mean, Hillary's an entitled ditz who thinks it's "her turn now", not "men of AK-shun!". Will Trump start to show some of Putin's more disagreeable traits when in office? Could be, but I doubt it. Just as Trump is a symptom not a cause of American politics, so Putin's strong man tactics & corruption is deeply rooted in Russian history.

You're probably not going to be surprised to know that, at this point, I'm w/ Kasparov's POV.

If Trump becomes a smarmy word parser who carefully weaves a story that is technically true, I'm open to joining your POV. But, if he continues trying to earn my vote by assuming I'm a total idiot (e.g. telling me (in a prepared speech) that he can immediately end all crime and violence), it's not going to work out. But, it's cute that you're on the train when you hear DJT will immediately solve America's problems.

PB&J: "You describe a situation where Christians can have zero abortions, zero gay spouses and zero sex. And, they can go to church 24/7."

The situation I'm describing is that if you are a traditional Christian (who refuses to "evolve" like the hypocrite Kaine) be prepared to hide your opinions from your employers, teachers, etc. if you want to succeed in business or school. Also, keep in mind that religious freedom died 5 years ago when Obamacare first required religious employers to swallow their religious values in health plans. Don't forget what happened to Mozilla CEO Brenden Eich when he was hounded out of his job in a social media witch hunt by progressives for donating $1000 to Prop 8 campaign some years earlier. And every baker with traditional Christian values surely knows by now they will financially ruin you with fines and lawsuits if you don't convert to the new progressive religion.

I have no idea how much you follow Althouse, but I have stated here that I have been a system administrator with a TS clearance in charge of a secure email server. I know what HRC & her assholes did at State, & I know the damage done. They are either traitors or so incredibly incompetent that they shouldn't even be working at the local Post Office.

Of course Barack Obama was lying in 2008 when he claimed to oppose same-sex marriage. And nobody knows if Hillary Clinton was lying at that same time, because no one -- not even Hillary -- knows whether she truly believes anything at all, apart from whatever has current political utility for her.

But I regard the 2005 Tim Kaine opposition to same sex marriage as more credible than the 2016 Donald Trump opposition to same sex marriage.

At least you included the staff other than HRC.

HRC, herself, sent exactly one email that had the letter "C" (for the lowest level of classification) next to a text of a passage that was in the body of an email where State says this passage was correctly marked. The FBI says there were two other "C" marked excerpts, but State says those were mistakenly marked.

Get over yourself if you think you're going to lock up HRC for this. The FBI said it made no sense to prosecute her.

And there was no whiff of corruption about that, was there? Comey's speech that gave every reason to prosecute but didn't. Bill's meeting on the tarmac.

Are you really so blind that in an administration as corrupt as the Obama administration, that the head Democratic crime family, the Clintons, couldn't pull the strings that needed to be pulled? That the Democrats were going to stand by while their electoral hopes imploded? Are you that naive?

You would never, ever, give a Republican admin the benefit of those doubts. Never!

I don't know if you follow con-media. But, before Comey's decision there was a lot reporting that FBI staff were going to resign if there was no DOJ prosecution of HRC.

Then, Congress dragged Comey up there and asked him what the head count was among the investigators when the prosecute or not prosecute decision was made. It was unanimous that there should be no prosecution.

That must be why nobody resigned. Con media is lying to y'all.

Petraeus’ case made him more legally vulnerable than Clinton. Petraeus knew that he was exposing confidential information and then lied to FBI investigators about it. Petraeus shared eight notebooks, called "black books," with Broadwell that contained his own handwritten notes on classified matters.

On the other hand, the information Clinton handled was electronic. Because there were thousands of emails on a private server that could be hacked, the information was more vulnerable to theft than Petraeus’ notebooks.

Petraeus’ mishandling of documents was indisputably intentional, and Petraeus obstructed justice by lying to FBI agents investigating the case.

In their investigation, the FBI found a tape of Petraeus acknowledging that information was classified before giving it to Broadwell anyway. Petraeus agreed in his plea deal that his actions "were in all respects knowing and deliberate.""

Congressman Keith Ellison was raised Catholic and converted to Islam.
Barack Obama was raised without religion and converted to Christianity.
Both give similar reasons for their conversion: They felt that their chosen religion was better suited to 'help their communities.'
The reason I put that in quotes is that 'help his community' is indistinguishable to both Ellison and Obama to personal political career success.
I am certain that there are people on the Right who choose their religion for the same religion. But no one looks at them as exemplars. No one identifies Newt Gingrich with Catholicism. No media people defend him from charges that he is not really a Catholic, or is a poor Catholic.

HeidiCruise believes what they believe because they are a (likely paid) Crooked Hillary shill. This is what they do, living in their parents' basement, and pretending they had a clue. I loved the resort to authority that better legal minds disagreed. The hilarious part there is their total lack of understanding that that is what lawyers do for a living. We argue the law and collect money for it. If HeidiCruise was willing to pay me enough money, I could probably put together a plausible argument that Crooked Hillary was the devil incarnate.

Dir Comey knew that there is no real legal difference between the extreme carelessness that he alleged for Herself, and the gross negligence required to violate the relevant espionage act statute. Legally, it doesn't require intent, and if it did, she did have intent. What she had was general intent to commit the acts that broke the law, just maybe not the specific intent to violate the law. Hard to believe that of a Yale law grad, but I always thought that school overrated. Note also, he didn't even mention the official records act, which was also applicable. I think that he knew that she violated several statutes, but wasn't going to have the FBI determining the Presidency. That was why, I think he told us that she met the requirements for prosecution, but there was no smoking gun of specific intent. Of course, they didn't swear her in, nor did they record her interview, the later standard practice with FBI interviews. I suspect that the reasons for that were that she wouldn't have made herself available for a recorded interview, and if it had been recorded, they would have caught her lying. At least as much as Scooter Libby, another political figure, who was convicted of lying to the FBI for saying he didn't remember. Oh, and the FBI agents were required to sign NDAs and take lie detector tests, to keep them from leaking, which is also unprecented. Should she have been prosecuted? Yes. Could she have been prosecuted? No.

I think that the reason those on the right here ride Ann a bit on her previous votes is that we like her, as evidenced by hanging around here so long. We are trying to bring her into the light, but she continues to back slide into the liberal orthodoxy so pervasive at her school in particular, and Madison in particular.

I do agree that it was a bit weird that the conversation devolved into one about Crooked Hillary's email server. But I think a lot of that can be blamed on Crooked Hillary shill HeidiCruise trying to defend the undefendable. They obviously hadn't been around for the many previous discussions in this area. And, yes, those of us on the right would rather talk about her law breaking and generally corrupt way of life, than talk about her deliberately innocuous VP pick. For a Democratic politician at his level, he is pretty nondescript - typical hard left voting record, minor bush league corruption, talks like a moderate, but acts and votes as an extreme leftist. Weak Catholic. Pretty blah. The only real interesting thing there was that she didn't pick one of the two (notably more corrupt and extreme) Hispanic cabinet members under consideration. Expect that Kaine's fluency in Spanish was thought to compensate for that. Pretty "me too" on her part, after the Republicans picked a Governor/former Representative of an important swing state.

Shame on anyone who can't see that. On second thought, anyone who says they don't see that is lying to cover up the fact that they already decided to vote Democrat no matter how corrupt their nominee.

PB&J: Btw, thinking about how some of us will look to historians in the future, this is interesting:

Not news to anyone who knows anything about immigration in this country.

"As the number of Italians coming to the United States increased, so did tensions with those already here. In 1920, The Washington Post editorialized for new constraints on immigration from Southern Europe, saying that "the alien scum from the cesspools and sewers of the Old World has polluted the clear spring of American democracy.""

And guess what, PB&J? There really were "rising tensions" consequent to the massive inflow of immigrants in the preceding decades. Which, contrary to modern propaganda, did not exist simply because "nativists" were meanies, but because such tensions are pretty much inevitable with such huge population inflows.

A few years after that article was written, the immigration spigot was turned off, allowing the "rising tensions" to settle down and assimilation to proceed, instead of exploding, as would have been the likely consequence of keeping 'em coming.

How many cons would like to see this sort of wapo editorializing today, re Muslims and Mexicans?

That is certainly a fair criticism of Democrats, most particularly on the subject of same-sex marriage. Clinton and Obama are standout liars/reversal artists on that score. Add to them, damned near every other congressional Dem and every Dem governor, right up to about 2012, when Joe Biden and internal polling told them it was time to flip and there was no need to explain anything. Just change the position. ASAP.

Of all the leading [putative] Republicans, the one and only figure to have been guilty if that sort of shameless flip-floppery is Trump.



Jason म्हणाले...

I had a TS clearance, commanded a military intelligence company, was a member of an MI battalion for five years, and ran a tactical operations center as a battle captain for 12 hours a day, with daily targeting meetings in Ramadi, Iraq for about 3 months. The TOC had both a NIPR and SIPR connection. I can't remember how many times I was required to sign a classified information handling statement or undergo mandatory training on computer network management. From at least 2008 forward I had to take an online course and pass a test just to be granted log on privileges on NIPR (not even SIPR!) at any new duty station just to check my email on a government computer.

Hillary had to have access to JWICS and that's even more sensitive.

I agree 100 percent with what Hegelian says: Hillary's conduct was so egregious, reckless and yes, criminal that ANYONE... ANYONE else who had done the same thing would have been frogmarched out of the office and facing multiple federal felony charges... serious ones. #FullStop. #Period.

What's more, accidental 'leakage' from classified to unclassified networks (JWICS to SIPR or NIPR or SIPR to NIPR) is a major, major concern for any shop entrusted with classified information. Anyone working in those shops, down to the pfc, is trained on the importance of preventing leakage. If it happened even accidentally, that soldier or civilian DoD employee would quickly have his or her clearance revoked pending review, and would be driving a truck until cleared.

Hell, if a soldier even did so much as plug his or her iPhone into the wrong USB port seeking to charge the battery, it would instantly cause an alert all the way up the chain to at least to the first G-6 shop, and the reaction from higher would quickly put the fear of God into the unit commander, 1SG, Battalion S-6 and local network administrator. Unscrewing that situation, tracking down the owner of the mobile device, and locking the gate until that phone could be confiscated would be priority one for the whole command. If it happened again, people would start getting sacked.

For that reason I would not support him for president, if he ran....

Jason: "Shitbirds trying to wave away what Hillary did, personally, and what her staff did under her supervision, as no big deal have their heads shoved firmly up their asses."

Well, you have to start with the premise that she must win, and reason backward. You quote the conclusions of Comey's remarks and stay far, far away from the substance, and eventually you conclude that anyone claiming to be appalled by the repeated transfer of TS and specialized stuff to an unsecured server is just being a partisan hack.

Two small points for your edification:

2-To be blunt just compare the average IQ of Italians versus Mexicans. Or Arabs. So just exactly how is this country benefitted by allowing large numbers of immigrants with an average IQ well to the left of the current American bell? Do we have a shortage of poor people?
