Virginia Democrats are allegedly misrepresenting the positions held by Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli in an attempt to depress conservative turnout and using peer pressure to boost voter turnout among Democratic constituencies in the final days of that state’s gubernatorial race.

Del. Scott Lingamfelter, a Republican, said he received a robo-call on Sunday evening claiming that Cuccinelli supports the Affordable Care Act and taxpayer financing for abortions.

. . . . .

Cuccinelli vehemently opposes Obamacare, as the law is commonly known. He was the first state attorney general to challenge the law in court. He is also strongly opposed to abortion.

we will get the LIVs on the right believing it, like some believe he is a RINO and not “conservative enough” while he has led every attempt to roll back federal power over the states.

In the late 1990s, some of McAuliffe’s business ventures came under investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor, which filed suit against two labor-union officials, both of them with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers pension fund, for entering into questionable business arrangements with McAuliffe.

Both officials later agreed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties for their actions, and the union itself had to reimburse its pension fund by nearly $5 million.

In one deal, McAuliffe and the fund officials created a partnership to buy a large block of commercial real estate in Florida. McAuliffe put up $100 for the purchase, while the pension fund put up $39 million. Yet McAuliffe got a 50-percent interest in the deal; he eventually walked away with $2.45 million from his original $100 investment. In another instance, the pension fund loaned McAuliffe more than $6 million for a real-estate development, only to find that McAuliffe was unable to make payments for nearly five years.

In the end, the pension fund lost some of its money, McAuliffe moved on to his next deal, and fund officials found themselves facing the Labor Department’s questions.

...and libertarians are willing to put him in office by siphoning votes from Cuccinelli

Exactly. We forget how many LIV there are on our side - and how many knee jerk radio “pundits” there are who will take this and run with it for the sake of being “shocking” - in their tiny minds. Even Rush occasionally does this.

I’d be really surprised if McAuliffe doesn’t win this overwhelmingly.

If Democrats are so right about everything, why do they have to lie and cheat?

I didn’t get such a call, but I did get a visit froma McAwful van this afternoon -— this is what I posted about it on my facebook page:

As if I possibly needed another reason to NOT vote for Terry McAuliffe tomorrow - some of his supporters just gave me the icing on the cake. Out of habit I usually go outside when someone pulls up in the driveway and is obviously not using it for a turn around.

The side of the van was emblazoned with McAuliffe signs and the first woman out of the vehicle was covered in campaign buttons and sporting an Obama hat. I politely told her I was not voting for any of her candidates and asked them to leave. She actually said no that I had to listen to her. She wasn’t exactly pleased when I explained I understood her lack of respect for private property rights, as her candidates, especially the one for LT. Gov. has no concept of them and once again asked her to leave. That is when she told me I had no idea what I was talking about. She then got really bent out of shape when I said I didn’t need a carpetbagger from New Jersey(tags on van) telling me what I do and do not know about Virginia and that since I had politely asked her to leave twice she was now trespassing and was to leave immediately. She said “yes, New Jersey, the Garden state, and you rednecks could learn a lot from the way we do things.”

I would have went inside and got my friend Mr. Magnum and introduced her to him. Very intimately.

So besides the pseudo libertarian (Sarvis) lies, there are robo calls saying Cuccinelli is for abortion and Obama”care?”

Who would buy this? Is the low-information voter even worse off than many of us thought?

Don’t think it didn’t cross my mind, however they weren’t worth the effort.
