He's not. He's a social justice progressive, the real kind, that knows civil and equal rights are a pillar of it

12. Suffice to say, Tim Kaine understands that the first rule of governing by coalition is being a good listener. That's why he's popular.

16. Those who complain about this pick by and large don't know him. Watch him win them over in the coming months. He will.

Tim Kaine receives an F with NORML. B Calm Jul 2016 #12

Position doesn't deserve an f uponit7771 Jul 2016 #16

I am personally opposed to the use of anything that anesthetizes and incapacitates ... apcalc Jul 2016 #31

What you just wrote is against the Democratic platform. B Calm Jul 2016 #33

I am speaking for myself. apcalc Jul 2016 #36

It's still against the platform. Many cancer patients disagree with B Calm Jul 2016 #37

Medical uses are fine, and I would certainly consider. apcalc Jul 2016 #57

A personal choice. A far cry from jailing people for smoking a joint! retread Jul 2016 #47

"Personally opposed" means "opposed for ME", not "opposed for everyone". annavictorious Jul 2016 #53

Incapacitate?? retread Jul 2016 #46

Senator Kaine will follow Hillary and the Dem platform's lead in what he supports. auntpurl Jul 2016 #32

That makes me feel better. randome Jul 2016 #13

I like his position on gun control TeddyR Jul 2016 #30

I think Hillary's choice reinforces her determination to go hard on gun control auntpurl Jul 2016 #34

What is the evidence that he strongly supports the 2nd Amendment. aikoaiko Jul 2016 #38

The first sentence TeddyR Jul 2016 #40

Oh yeah. I heard that one before. aikoaiko Jul 2016 #42

As a Senator he swore an oath to "Protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". George II Jul 2016 #50

True, oaths don't cherry pick amendments. aikoaiko Jul 2016 #52

I'd be more impressed with C from the NRA and A from PP aikoaiko Jul 2016 #39

If a right wing fascist organization like the NRA gives you a rating of "F" Cali_Democrat Jul 2016 #41

And also probably something wrong. Hence the C as ideal. aikoaiko Jul 2016 #43

What would you be doing wrong if you get a rating of "F" from the NRA? Cali_Democrat Jul 2016 #44

For example, banning some guns via AWB. aikoaiko Jul 2016 #45

That's good enough for me! George II Jul 2016 #48
