My Way ^ | 11/4/13 | PHILIP ELLIOTT and JOSH LEDERMAN

Terry McAuliffe and Ken Cuccinelli are both looking to make Tuesday's election for governor into a referendum on President Barack Obama's health overhaul.

McAuliffe planned to campaign Monday with Vice President Joe Biden a day after Obama weighed in, throwing national Democrats' full backing into the race. Cuccinelli, meanwhile, would be campaigning with Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and planned his final campaign rally with former Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, a hero of the libertarian wing of the GOP.

"The Democrat is out-spending the Republican 10 to 1. No liberal or media establishment (but I repeat myself) is MOANING ABOUT THE INFLUENCE OF MONEY IN THIS RACE. "

That's why it's a complete waste of time trying to reason with leftists. All that matters is using whatever tools will help them gain more power at any given moment. Then it's onto the next thing for them...

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

When limo libertarians are facing 15% state income taxes, they will return to the GOP.

the $ amount reported yesterday was $34M for lying terri and $19M for the next gubbernor of Virginia, Ken C.

A Virginia resident said that TV ads were 10-1 in favor of the demonRATS, but 10-1 is hard to fathom.

There is no doubt that the crook, thief, rat-bastard demonRAT terrible terri has raised way more money, but since he is a proven thief, he may have stolen 10-15 Million.

Out spending won't quell the fact that Mr. MacAuliffe is one more dishonest politician...he cares not a whit for anyone voting for him but their votes! MacAuliffe and Ms. Clinton and their ilk only care about enriching themselves - what have either ever done towards keeping America a Constitutional government i.e., a Republic? They believe in The Third Way which is Socialism.

Don't do this to your nation Virginians....No To MacAuliffe!!!

While that may be true, it is also likely that it will make little difference because the transformation of America is well under way and every little battle we lose takes us further down the path to extinction. A McAuliffe victory is much much more than a loss for Virginia. It is a major step for Hillary 2016.

I wouldn't be so sure. When combined income tax rates hit 70%, working blacks will return to the GOP. Currently, there are a lot of libertarians who are voting for Democrats because they don't feel overtaxed. Tax hikes change that calculation. Big tax hikes get people so riled up, they start supporting bible thumpers as the lesser of two evils. The reason the GOP is so weak these days is because once taxes were lowered, libertarians had no reason to stay in the fold. After they get hit upside the head with a few tax increases, they'll start to remember why they ever voted GOP in the first place.

If Hillary wins there will not only be an impotent republican party, if any at all, it really won't matter how people vote because so many of our rights will already be gone.

If the republican party establishment is successful at bringing us another moderate candidate instead of one with real courage who will reverse the damage done by Obama, it means nothing. (Take a look at the link I put up in #11 above)

Does anyone know how the Rally with KC and Rubio went? Was there a good turnout? Haven’t seen or heard anything. Somebody help us out here.

It took me waayyy too long to figure out why Rubio is stumping for Cuccinelli. Watch for trading favors support of "immigration reform" once Cuccinelli wins. Don't fall for it, Ken, please don't fall for it.
