Why Does Albo Hate Women?

Over the years, Delegate Dave Albo has not been hospitable to women's issues. For example, last year, when a female judicial applicant complained when now former Sen. Nick Rerras cross-examined her about her views on (a) abortion, (b) requiring arrests for domestic violence, and (c) her views on "feminazi's," Del. Dave Albo's response:
"He didn't do anything illegal," Albo said. "He asked questions about things that are important to him." . . . "Review Sought on Judicial Selection Process," The Virginia-Pilot, Feb. 15, 2007.
So long as legislators don't don't grope judicial candidates, what's the big deal right? AMG, Albo to Rerras: Just Don't Grope the Applicant (Apr. 15, 2007).

When another legislator's wife complained that she was being discriminated against due to her gender. What was Delegate Albo's response? "There's no such thing as workplace harassment." "Complaint Targets State Senator," Richmond Times-Dispatch, 7/19/06. Such sympathy.

When Fairfax County requested $22M for subsidized childcare what did he do? He killed it. See AMG, Is Dave Albo Offering to Babysit 1900 Children? (Aug. 7, 2006).

When PTA moms wanted to sell cookies at polling places what he do? He tried to ban them. AMG, Dave Albo v. the PTA (Apr. 25, 2006).

In 2001, what did Del. Dave Albo say were his constituents top three issues?

Del. David B. Albo, R-Fairfax, said phone bills, particularly various taxes tacked onto bills, trail only abortion and gun control as a top issue for his constituents.' Richmond Times-Dispatch 9.7.2000

You get the idea? So, after getting a 25% rating in 2007, what is Del. Dave Albo's 2008 rating from Virginia NARAL:

0%

Shocker.....

You needn't go through all of this. Just make it clear that Albo was behind those stupid "abuser fees" and he is a political corpse.

I agree that the whole body of "workplace harassment" law needs to be tossed and replaced with, "Go work somewhere else." We have crippled both the labor movement and business with all of these lawsuits. In America, we mustn't bankrupt a company just because some maladjusted employee finds a hungry lawyer.

We do not need an entire body of law developed around workplace etiquette. Preexisting law was already in place to deal with assault. If you didn't get assaulted, but feel unwelcome on the job, then go work somewhere else.

You would think he is a political corpse, but nobody even ran against him in November and he ran unopposed even at the height of his unpopularity. It was so strange, given that many people would have voted anyone with a pulse. He would surely have been defeated.

What did he do to prevent any challengers? Was there some kind of nefarious goings on? More info would be great. I loathe this person. Thanks.
