Cuccinelli Refuses to Answer Question: Did he ever commit any crimes against nature? (Felony again?)

http://m.motherjones.com/mojo/2013/04/ken-cuccinelli-crimes-against-nature-prison-capacity

You may have read about Cucci's petition to have Virginia's ancient law restored that made oral or anal sex between consenting straight or gay adults into a felony once again. Remember, this law applied to persons OVER the age of consent.

The question no arises: Has Cucci ever committed any of these crimes against nature during his lifetime? His campaign is refusing to answer. I think people need to keep asking this question directly. After all, we don't want a repeat felon in the Governor's Office.

Excerpt:

"Violating Virginia's Crimes Against Nature statute was a class six felony in the state, and carried a penalty of between one and five years in prison. The Virginia Department of Corrections only has a capacity of around 30,000. Given that 64.6 percent of Virginia's 8 million residents are between the ages of 18 and 65, the state most likely lacks the prison capacity to house millions of Virginians who, in Cuccinelli's view, have committed crimes against nature.

But what about Cuccinelli and his aides? Mother Jones asked his campaign if Cuccinelli or anyone working for his campaign had ever engaged in any of the prohibited conduct and whether Cuccinelli would fire any campaign staff who had done so. We have received no response. But if Cuccinelli's campaign is being run by criminals against nature, don't the voters have a right to know?"
