Elections on Tuesday, Virginia GOP's Closing Argument: "Preserve our Christian heritage!"

That's right, on Tuesday, Virginia goes to the polls with all 140 members of the state's General Assembly up for election. And what is the closing argument for at least one Virginia GOP county committee? Yep, "Preserve our Christian heritage!"

Also note that the Republican committee member who designed the ad was quoted in the newspaper as saying, "If you read the histories of our founding fathers, (they say) you should not run for office if you are not a Christian." Any further questions on what these guys are trying to say?

Which heritage is that? The church's support of slavery? The church's fight against equal right for LGBT people? The church's fight against sex education and birth control?
