5 Things You Probably Don’t, But Should Know, About Ken Cuccinelli
Townhall.com ^ | November 3, 2013 | Courtney O'Brian

If Terry McAuliffe had his way, voters would believe his Republican opponent in the Virginia gubernatorial race wants to “take women back” and is “too extreme” for the Old Dominion.

Here are a few things the Democrat may not have told you about Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.

1. He has fought against sexual abuse since he was in college.

2. Thanks in large part to his office’s efforts, the Polaris Project, a nonprofit dedicated to combating human trafficking, named Virginia as one of the most improved states in 2010 in regards to laws and penalties regulating human trafficking.

3. He was the first attorney general to file a lawsuit against Obamacare, the president’s wildly unpopular health care law, which only six people successfully enrolled in on day one.

4. He is passionate about reforming mental health, once donating $100,000 to a Richmond-based mental health services organization.

5. He has proposed to save an average family of four $700 in taxes.

Bonus:

He once pulled a truck driver from a burning rig.

Now a little about his opponent. McAuliffe’s “War on Women” campaign against Cuccinelli is so false, that Women Sick of Stupid Lies, a coalition of professional women, stay-at-home moms, and students disgusted with “gender-baiting” in politics, held a press conference Friday to set the record straight about McAuliffe and Cuccinelli, the former of whom has pledged to keep Virginia’s abortion clinics shielded from regulations, even after reports reveal they are rife with safety violations.

You have the facts Virginia, the rest is up to you.

McAwfull has about ten times the funds that Cuccinelli has-——McA’s running TV ads up the kazoo.


Start the avalanche of contributions to Ken....he needs to run last minute-ads to put him over the top.

Cuccinelli screwed up at the outset by hiring a weak Romneyesque campaign staff, that in turn convinced him to distance himself from Conservatism and to instead run a mushy "not lose" campaign.

This message should have gone out at the very beginning when McAuliffe first started hammering his silly "war on women" meme, that Cuccinelli left unanswered for months.

With that said, Cuccinelli has finally woken up over the past two weeks, and I'm heartened that he seems to be campaigning seriously now in his old aggressive style. He might just pull this out tomorrow...

Cuccinelli is the guy who was said to be responsible for keeping Gingrich and Perry off the ballot in the 2012 Virgina Republican primary to the benefit of Romney.

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-01-06/virginia-s-cuccinelli-opposes-changes-to-march-primary-rules.html

Seems that he supported the necessary rule changes before he didn’t support them.

According to what many FReepers said back then, he is a Romneybot RINO.

Admittedly, he’s light years better than the sleazy Clintonoid crook McAuliffe, and if I could, I would certainly vote for him.

But isn’t it interesting how today he is viewed as some sort of great conservative.

Virginia voters, as an out-of-state commentator...I normally put my two cents worth in the mix...and end my comments with asking local folks in Virginia, or elseewhere to turn out and vote to support the “Conservative” candidate. This time there will be no asking......just outright, forceful, ordering the voters of Virginia to get off their butts....and vote in massive numbers tomorrow for Ken Cuccinelli for governor!!!

I am just plain and simple fed up and tired of the supposed “conservatives” on this site and many others, crying the blues and lamenting how we cannot win. All they do is moan and complain about Obama, etc.,.......and then they do nothing but groan & moan. Time to get off that couch, stop drinking beer or soda, eating pretzels and potato chips....and do something positive to save this country of ours.

If just eight (8) more voters had turned out and voted for Steve Lonegan for US Senator in New Jersey a few weeks back, in each NJ voter precinct...Steve would have beaten Cory “useless” Booker!!!

So......if you all are sick of Obamacare lies and failures, Benghazi, the IRS, the NSA scandals, etc. put forward and driven by ilk like Obama & MacAuliffe, get that rear end in gear and get out and vote for Ken Cuccinelli, tomorrow, on Election Day!!! No excuses, deadbeats!!!

You can rank, rant and rave on me all you want....but somebody needs to get ur attention and focus. As for you whipping on me....I could care less....we got us a country to save here!!! And....wouldn’t it be positve & pro-active, if all of you out there in Freeper land would post on all the Virginia election posts, urging Virginia voters to turn out and support, Ken Cuccinelli for governor, instead of your negative, naysayer remarks. Shucks....I’d rather go fighting, then like a lost lamb at sea!!!

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 with the help of Karl Rove and establishment republicans in DeeCee
