Terry McAuliffe Lying To Everyone?




Well throughout most of the video, you can tell that Mr Cuccinelli is reading a teleprompter.  It is also disturbing that if he donated 18 thousand dollars to a local charity because of the issues surrounding him over the Star Scientific Gifts, then he is probably guilty of that claim.  Not good.  On the other hand, the fact that he is trying to make up for a misdeed, shows character at least.

Here is a question though.  If you take something out of Wal Mart and do not pay for it and get caught, can you go back into Wal Mart and pay for it afterward and not go to jail or have any charges put against you?  Why should politicians get a pass?  Disturbing.

Now let's go to Terry McAuliffe.  

Here is one of Terry's recent emails to people.

"I wrote you earlier this week that national Republicans and Tea Party groups are flooding Ken Cuccinelli's campaign with donations. (The Republican Governors Association has given nearly $6 million!)

But here's what I didn't know on Monday:

My opponent and his right-wing allies are putting that money right to work. Last week, the Republicans spent nearly 50% more than we did on television ads.

If they continue to outspend us on TV, they'll drown out our message, and we could fall seriously behind.

We're just $22,564 short of funding our Rapid Response Fund by ourmidnight deadline tonight. Please donate $5 right now to make sure we hit our goal before we submit our next fundraising report.

I know you're seeing a lot of TV ads these days. My family's getting pretty tired of them, too.

But TV ads are one of the most critical tools we have to reach undecided voters as they're starting to make up their minds about who they'd like to entrust with the leadership of our Commonwealth.

And recently, each one of our ads — explaining my vision for Virginia's future or drawing a contrast with my opponent's record — was being outmatched by ads paid for by extreme Republican donors like the Koch Brothers.

At midnight tonight, my campaign faces a critical deadline, after which we have to file a public fundraising report.

And tomorrow, I'm meeting with my campaign staff to make final decisions about where we spend our funds in the final weeks.

I need your $5 donation to help us fully fund our Rapid Response Fund before midnight. We can close the potentially devastating imbalance of TV ads with your help.

I'm counting on you,

- Terry

Now Here Is The Real Story:

According to the news yesterday, Tuesday, September 17th, 2013, Terry McAuliffe has over 5 million dollars in his campaign fund. Cuccinelli?  About 2.5 million.  That means that Terry has more than twice what Ken has and here is Terry crying for money and complaining that Ken is getting huge sums of cash.  

I have issues watching Ken Cuccinelli's campaign.  I will not put up with Terry McAuliffe and these outrageous and false claims.  Do we need a governor who will lie to us?  If he is blatantly lying to the people now, what will he do as governor?  No thanks Terry.  Go somewhere else.

RICHMOND, Virginia (Reuters) - Democrat Terry McAuliffe is up 6 percentage points over Republican rival Ken Cuccinelli among voters likely to cast ballots in the Virginia gubernatorial election in November, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.

McAuliffe, a businessman and the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, holds a 48 percent to 42 percent lead over Cuccinelli, Virginia's attorney general.

"It seems obvious that Governor Bob McDonnell's political troubles are hurting fellow Republican Cuccinelli. Guilt by association may not be fair but it sure is politically powerful," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

McDonnell, once mentioned as a GOP presidential contender in 2016, is under investigation by state and federal authorities.

They are looking into more than $150,000 in gifts and loans reportedly given to McDonnell and his family by Jonnie Williams, the CEO of Star Scientific Inc, a dietary supplement company that was seeking to do business with the state.

McDonnell, who is limited to one term, has made a public apology for the embarrassment that his actions, and those of his family, have caused the state. He also has said he has repaid the loans and has returned the tangible gifts that he and his family received from Star Scientific's CEO.

Larry Sabato, director of the Center of Politics at the University of Virginia, said the Quinnipiac poll was significant because it is the first poll to survey members of the public who are likely to vote.

"But it's August," Sabato said. "We are going to have some defining events in the fall, including the feds' decision on whether or not to indict Governor McDonnell."

He said the key to the election is voter turnout.

If Democrats can bring out voters in large numbers in an off-year election, McAuliffe likely will win, according to Sabato.

"If we have another extremely low 40 percent turnout like 2009, Cuccinelli will likely win," he said, reflecting the sentiments of other political commentators familiar with Virginia's voting patterns.

Brown of the Quinnipiac Poll said the Virginia campaign has been "light on issues and big on personalities, and it is in the area of personal characteristics that McAuliffe has a small edge."

The Quinnipiac University poll was conducted August 14 to 19 and surveyed 1,129 likely voters. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.



One thing we know about polls, they are easily fixed and mean nothing.  We can rig a poll to say anything we want it to say and you would be hard pressed to say the poll was not fair.  It's to early to call this one but we will tell you who the winner is going to be before the election comes.  Early indications say it's going to be Ken Cuccinelli.  We are basing that on what we are seeing from the top.  Follow the money.  Cuccinelli is getting more cash.  Learn to read the real signals.  The real fixers are not yet speaking so you can't call it until they do.

One thing we do not play here is the party ticket game.  We could care less if you are a democrat or a republican or even a libertarian, or better, yet, we do not care that you are a die hard socialist or communist.  It means nothing to us either way.  What we care about are leaders who will support the Constitution and Bill of Rights of both the Federal Government as well as the Commonwealth of Virginia.  And no, that is not tea party.  That is just common sense.
