GOP Women Running From Virginia's GOP Ticket
Former President of the Virginia Federation of Republican Women Jan
Schar and former Republican and Independent Delegate Katherine Waddell
are reportedly none too impressed by the Virginia GOP gubernatorial
ticket of Ken Cuccinelli and EW Jackson. Speaking to Lowkell at Blue Virginia
Wednesday morning, Waddell called “the worst ticket ever”, adding that
she was “completely embarrassed and mortified by the Republican ticket
of Cuccinelli and Jackson.”
Jan Schar told Blue Virginia
that although she’s been a Republican for years, “I simply cannot
support them,” as they would “end a woman’s right to make her own health
care choices, including access to birth control.”
Schar was disturbed by the Republican ticket’s attack on Planned
Parenthood, “which does so much good for women in Virginia…. to call
them a racist group is simply beyond the pale and hopefully will
frighten Virginians from voting for them. This team of three would take
us back to their ideology.” Schar concluded, “I know so many Republicans
who just can’t support [this ticket].”
Waddell (I/R) called Cuccinelli “extreme”, according to Blue Virigina,
due in part to his “dangerous… anti-woman health agenda.” Reacting to
the ticket’s charges against Planned Parenthood, she pointed out that it
made “absolutely no sense to accuse Planned Parenthood of being a
racist organization; it’s an organization which brings much needed
health care to many.”
