Let's get real: Cuccinelli opposes abortion even in cases of rape or incest

Tonight at the University of Richmond, a flailing Ken Cuccinelli once again attempted to deceive voters about his extreme social views. During the forum, Cuccinelli claimed to have supported public funding of abortions "in the case of rape, incest or life of the mother." That's simply not true. In fact, regardless of whether publicly funded or not, Cuccinelli has opposed any abortion in all instances -- including rape, incest and health of the mother -- that "are not for the purpose of saving the mother's life." Don't take our word for it, though. Look at the 2002 version of Cuccinelli.com:

NEW VIDEO: Cuccinelli/Jackson on Women's & Reproductive Health

Last night, State. Sen. Dick Black was a special guest at a Leesburg fundraiser for Ken Cuccinelli. As you know, Black caused jaws to drop when he made headlines earlier this year for comparing abortion to the Holocaust on the floor of the Senate.

VIDEO: Cuccinelli/Cruz: A Bromance We Can Do Without

Ken Cuccinelli and Ted Cruz are a match made in heaven. Whether praising each other in speeches, working together in campaigns, or pushing for their shared extreme agenda through hard-nosed tactics, Cuccinelli and Cruz have a bromance we can do without. Here's American Bridge's newest video:

PETITION: Tell Cuccinelli to cancel his appearance with Ted Cruz

The responsibility of the government is to govern. It’s not for one person to impose their political ideology on the rest of us. But that’s what Ted Cruz has done by persuading his Republican colleagues to shut down the government as a bargaining chip to drive their extreme agenda. Ken Cuccinelli thinks the Senate needs “more Ted Cruzes in there.” The last thing the Senate needs is more Ted Cruzes. And Virginia definitely doesn’t need one of Cruz’s biggest fans as its next governor. Shutting down the government is bad for all Americans, but especially for a Virginia economy that will bear a disproportionate share of the burden. That’s why even Republican governor Bob McDonnell criticized Republicans in Congress: “You don’t shut down government and have the people that depend on government suffer because that’s really what will happen.” And while the people of Virginia suffer because of Cruz’s antics in Congress, Ken Cuccinelli has invited Cruz to Virginia to campaign together Saturday. Instead of showing leadership to find bipartisan solutions to our problems, Cuccinelli has chosen to stand with fellow extreme Tea Partiers in Congress who are creating new problems that hurt middle class families. Ken Cuccinelli should side with the Virginian people and reject the shutdown tactics of Ted Cruz and Congressional Republicans.

Cuccinelli on video: Senate needs "more Ted Cruzes"

With just hours left until the federal government shuts down, Ken Cuccinelli is still refusing to condemn the efforts of Sen. Ted Cruz and his followers. Cuccinelli's stubborn refusal to stand up to the Tea Party and fight for what's best for Virginia speaks volumes about his extreme views misplaced priorities. Cuccinelli's silence is no surprise. Last summer, Cuccinelli addressed a gathering of the Tea Party blog RedState and told the crowd that the Senate needed "more Ted Cruzes in there to back up Jim DeMint."

WEB AD: "What I Campaign On Is What I Pursue" – We're not buying it.

"People can look at my record and see that what I campaign on is what I pursue." That's what Ken Cuccinelli said during tonight's debate. That's right, the same person who famously bragged about lying to the press about his past campaigns is once again trying to deceive voters about his extreme agenda. Here's our post-debate online ad showing Cuccinelli’s cynical history of deceiving voters by pretending to address important issues like jobs or transportation. Cuccinelli himself has admitted on multiple occasions that no matter what issues he talks about publicly, his main focus will always be instituting his extreme social agenda.

VIDEO: Presenting E.W. Jackson's Context of Hate

During last night's Lieutenant Governor debate, Republican EW Jackson claimed that past comments of his insulting the LGBT community have been "taken completely out of context." Really?? You can make a judgment on that yourself. Here's American Bridge's newest web video:

VIDEO: Cuccinelli — Lessons Unlearned

Once again, Cuccinelli put his flawed ethical judgment on full display. Not only did Cuccinelli own stock in a company his office was fighting in court, he received more than $18,000 in gifts, flights, meals and vacations from its CEO. After waves of bad publicity forced him to admit a conflict of interest and recuse himself from two separate court cases, Cuccinelli still maintains his actions were "certainly not unethical." Cuccinelli says he's learned lessons from this ordeal, but since he STILL maintains he never did anything wrong, he has a lot left to learn.

VIDEO: GOP Rep. Steve Womack criticizes constituent for Mexican flag

In a town hall meeting last week, Arkansas Republican Rep. Steve Womack criticized a young constituent for discussing the issue of immigration while wearing a Mexican flag.

TRANSCRIPT (at 4:50): I don't want to put this gentleman on the spot, but it does, just a little bit -- okay, honestly, more than a little bit -- it does strike me as a bit odd that I would get a question as to why we shouldn't just automatically make it legal for people who didn't come here under a legal circumstance with a flag of another country draped around his neck. [APPLAUSE] I wanna say this to you, that, this is just some good old friendly advice that if you want to win friends and influence people on the issues that you're talking about, I would suggest a little different approach in terms of my attire when I'm appealing to an audience like this. That's just a little friendly advice.
