Bloomberg’s fingerprints on Virginia election
Congratulations, Virginia, you’re about to elect Terry McAullife as your governor. He’s stumping through Virginia today with Bill Clinton, you know the guy who McAuliffe loaned a couple of million bucks so Clinton could buy a house in New York State and then his wife could run for the Senate. Here in the DC area, we’ve been inundated with McAullife ads, mostly about how his opponent is against abortions, but lately, the McAullife campaign got a load of Bloomberg bucks from the anti-gun nut who is running New York City into nanny-statism.
The funny thing is; you can’t find McAullife’s anti-gun anywhere on the internet – I even looked on his website and it’s not there. Isn’t that a little bit strange? Politico writes a little about the ad;
With imagery of the gunmen in three recent shooting sprees, including the one at Virginia Tech, the ad’s narrator says, “The gun show loophole. It means anyone can buy a gun without a background check. The dangerously mentally ill. Criminals. Endangering our families.”
Yeah, while those words are being read pictures of the Virginia tech shooter, Seung-Hui Cho, the Aurora Colorado shooter, James Eagan Holmes and the Sandy Hook shooter, Adam Lanza are flashed on the screen. And the words themselves are a lie. There is no real gun show loophole – I’ve bought two guns at gun shows and both times I went through the same background checks that went through when I bought guns at dealers’ stores. So I don’t know what a “gun show loophole” is, unless they mean the same loophole that allows people to sell guns at their yard sale.
As we’ve stated before, even the Bureau of Justice Statistics admits that less than two percent of criminals were arrested with guns they bought at gun shows or flea markets. And none of the three in the ads bought guns at gun shows.
And Republicans and the NRA want to limit gun sales to “the dangerously mentally ill”, but it’s liberals, like Terry McAullife, who won’t let “the dangerously mentally ill” be included on the national ID check system.
From another Politico link;
McAuliffe is unapologetic about his support for stricter gun laws, including an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, limiting the size of magazines and preventing people from buying more than one gun a month. He would unquestionably be a close Bloomberg ally should he win.
So, Virginians are letting one New Yorker select another New Yorker to be their governor. Neither of whom particularly care about Virginia or Virginians. Judging by the ads I’ve seen on my local TV, the whole election is going to be decided by how easy it is to kill the unborn and how hard it is to buy weapons for protection of the law abiding post-born.
Good job, Virginia.

Not happy about this. >:|
With you on that, Spade. It might not be here yet, but
“something wicked this way comes.” It is only a matter of time.
It ain’t over yet, but it’s going to be tough for Cuccinelli to win. I suspect Sarvis will take a bunch of Cuccinelli votes. Cuccinelli should have let Bolling have a go at it this year.
“As a former state senator and as Virginia’s current lieutenant governor, Bill Bolling has given 14 years of public service to defending and preserving the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Virginians,” said Chris W. Cox, NRA’s chief lobbyist and chairman of NRA-PVF.
Lieutenant Governor Bolling has consistently earned NRA-PVF’s highest legislative rating for his support of law-abiding gun owners and Virginia’s proud hunting heritage.
America: the land of the best politicians money can buy.
Hey, hey, hey, now…don’t go congratulating the enemy yet. We’re suffering an invasion here in Virginia of scuzball NY’ers, and NJ’ers bringing their dollars here. After selling their overpriced piles of garbage real estate, for an exorbitant price to another idiot, they’re coming here and s*&**ing in tall cotton. Unfortunately they’re bringing their crappy attitudes and politics with them.
I’ve seen more NY, NJ, Delaware and points North license plates in recent months to make me believe in conspiracy theories (almost).
At any rate, we may lose..in which case God help us.
We may win, in which case I’ll be thanking God.
Well, there’s always hoping we hold onto the house although that’s never a sure thing.
At least it will blunt terry
Why are those Yorkies and Joiseyboys moving to Virginia?
I thought they were all prisoners of their own making, unable to actually leave because they can’t cut the tether that makes them what they are. Something along the lines of ‘Slaves of New York’ and ‘My Dinner with Andre’ – no matter how far away you go, you still end up going back ther.
Can’t you put out signs that say ‘Yankees go home’, or somethuing?
We have a bumper sticker that says: “WELCOME TO MONTANA — NOW GO HOME”
@7 – My best guess is they’re moving here because parts of VA have held strong to conservative values, but like anywhere else, those fuggin’ maggots arrive in droves like locusts and start their social engineering, just like they have elsewhere. Sad.
@8 – When I was growing up in N. Texas, there used to be an old saying that went “I-35 runs both ways.”
It almost makes stooping to their level seem attractive – at least the part about voting early and often.
Not a resident? No problem. Already voted twice? Here’s another ballot. Who did you say you support? Oh, never mind.
Bloomberg and McAullife, the evil of two lessers!
USMCE8Ret, could be, or is it maybe because land is cheap?
I’ve seen spots in the Appalachians in southwestern VA that are dead cheap, but the nearest town has a population of about 125 and is only lively in the summer.
You know, they don’t just social engineering. Everything, even the hillsides, have to be re-engineered to suit their ideas of how things should be. They’re afraid of everything they can’t control.
I still have a bumper sticker on my tool box that reads: “If you (heart) New York, take I-95 North!” Glad I moved out of that state and don’t plan to go back on my own dime.
If the republicans would stop nominating crooked fascists and nazi racist scum people would not have to hold their noses and vote mcauffile! In lousiana govenours race some years ago the democrat said hold your knows and vote for me to defeat the KKK and gop candidate david duke! Stop nominating rape candidates who say if a black man rapes a white child the baby is god gift!
VWP, don’t you have a shotgun to suck-start or something?
…the democrat said hold your knows…
Well, that is how they win.
@14.
Have fun with your new insurance premiums.
If you are already on the dole, then get ready for competition.
@14- remind me, which party does Robert Byrd belong to? Oh, that’s right- he’s a democrat, and a former member of the hate group the Democrats started….. a Kleagle, if I remember right
*Republicans *Nazi *, *, *McAuliffe! *the *Louisiana *governor’s *, *Democrat *, “Hold *nose *GOP *David *Duke!” *, *God’s
I guess your English teacher failed you almost as badly as your history, economics, and civics teachers.
@17 I have pre-existing conditions so I don’t have health insurance and I can get obama care for as little as $40 a month if I choose the cheepest plan in my tax bracket. Yes I pay taxes and don’t cheat either. Which reminds me did you see “thats incredible show” that had the three republicans on it? The first one was openly gay! The second had never cheated on his income taxes! And third had volunteered toserve in combat in vietnam! NOW THATS INCREDIBLE!
I have pre-existing conditions…
Brother and how! Still, I find it hard to believe that someone who supposedly owns a service station doesn’t have health insurance. Please try to keep your lies straight.
21@ I don’t own a service station I was gasing my older american car that passes evertything :but a service station or a repair shop! And yes they will check under the hood for 15 cents a gallon more! You missunderstood my post so whats new about that!
Dude-you said exactly “I was at a service station I own” in the previous post. Now I know that your grasp of plain English and simple logic aren’t too good, but there is really no may to misconstrue that. I mean, we all knew it was bullshit at the time, but it’s good to see you at least admit it.
@20
And what’s your deductible on that $40/month plan?
Which reminds me did you see “thats incredible show” that had the three republicans on it?
I was too busy watching the 3-hour special “The Biggest Loser” did on you.
Y’shua Hosannah Christos have mercy!!!
I’d love for you to show us that $40/mo plan. My employer pays 80 percent of my premium for just me and my paltry 20 percent is more than that every two weeks. Then there’s dental, vision, short and long-term disability and life insurance. I pay nearly $300/mo for all that, and again that’s with my employer paying the majority of that.
27@ go to health care .gov
VWP, what that be the $675,000,000 website that is currently “experiencing glitches”?
vietnam war protester: your ignorance is showing again, amigo. Ever heard of something called “Jim Crow” and de jure segregation? Want to guess which party was responsible for those?
I’ll give you a hint: the party’s name doesn’t start with the letter “R”.
And yes: you did indeed claim in a previous comment to own a service station. 68W58 quoted you accurately above.
http://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=38191&cpage=1#comment-989764
If you meant to say something different, you should have said something different.
We all suspected that claim was bullsh!t anyway. Thanks for confirming that fact.
Yeah, Bloomberg hit Colorado as well during the recalls and is back giving money to the Amendment 66 backers, i.e. the teacher union. 66 is a $1 BILLION tax increase vaguely supposed to be for schools in which little money will be seen in the classrooms but rather go to teacher pensions and, most likely, Obamacare. It would also take money from suburban districts and send it to Denver, rural schools, which need the money more, would be especially hit hard.
It’s curious that Bloomberg would insert his money in the Amendment 66 battle giving that it’s exclusive to Colorado and not really a national issue at all. I wonder what the connection and agenda is.
Of course Governor Chickenlooper is all for Bloomberg inserting his money into 66 when a couple of weeks ago he condemned the same money for the recall elections. He’s in competition with Obama for biggest liar/hypocrite.
Here’s hoping that it will be just as big a waste of money as the last time.
Here in my part of Florida, a favorite bumper sticker says: “TEACH A YANKEE TO DRIVE, THEN POINT HIS CAR NORTH”.
As for vwp, I assume he ran out of glue to sniff, thus it’s trolling here again.
This really shouldn’t surprise us. We have an education system from kindergarten through college that programs students with progressive socialist thoughts (and uses the term “critical thinking” when they do it!). We have a majority of the news media that publish the same progressive thought process while giving the slightest lip service to alternative viewpoints. The new “comedic news” media favored by young adults (Jon Stewart, Stephan Colbert, and such) adhere to the same thoughts. So, why are we surprised? More elections will go this way.
George V.
@33. I agree but must point out that polls indicate that Cuccinelli would win if only men were voting. And, of course, men are products of the same social-engineering schools as women. What is really sick is that obamaman is widely reported to be heading to Northern Virginia to campaign for money bags McAuliffe. One would think that any D running for office would want that POS to stay away but, evidently, in that region of VA, it’s a good thing. The legislature in the Commonwealth is heavily R so whatever Terry the Banker wants to do must have little to do with legislation. I despise the guy for his pro-abortion views. I don’t know how he can call himself a Catholic and hold such views. It’s very disconcerting that so many who claim to be Catholic have no issue tearing babies from their mothers’ wombs and, yet, are not barred from Communion. Once in a while, I hear of a bishop or priest who bars them but it should happen in every case.
@28 – vnwp, being stupid and illiterate do not count as pre-existing conditions. Neither does being stinking drunk in public or stoned out of your mind, both of which you manifest when you make your incoherent posts.
There seems to be a lack of speed in rebuilding the damaged areas that were hit the hardest by Hurricane Sandy in NJ and NY. That may be the reason people from Jersey/NY are moving to VA: cheaper land and cheaper housing, and the mistaken idea that VA does not get hit by hurricanes. I used to know someone who ran a small shop in Clifton who lost almost everything to flooding from Agnes in 1972.
Is anyone really surprised that the ruling elite believe borders don’t matter? Sh1tbags like the Clintons pick a state that they can’t lose in because it’s primarily democrat and now they are doing the same to help a guy win in Virginia.
These people believe they were destined to rule over the unwashed masses to better control and direct those unwashed masses, not to serve them. In their world view the population of the earth exists to serve them and provide them with a life of privilege. They are not people who serve the nation, they serve themselves. There are far too many of these ruling elite mindset type of people on both sides of the aisle, but as long as the average intellect in the US is declining the f@cking uneducated idiots who vote will keep electing them….
As a Virginia resident, I’m nauseated by this. Worse yet, Sarvis is siphoning votes MOSTLY from Cuccinelli, and not from McAuliffe. And frankly, Sarvis isn’t even as libertarian as Cuccinelli.
I wrote this last night. Virginians are really pissing me off.
http://thelibertyzone.wordpress.com/2013/10/29/this-libertarian-is-voting-cuccinelli/
@37. Nice piece, Nicki. VA has no monolopy on stupidity. McAuliffe is a slickster who did his homework (‘We’ll make contraception an issue! Sure, I don’t have any control over the matter, but these dolts don’t know that!’) and had money, money, money. Pray for a hard, cold rain. The Ds don’t come out unless it’s sunny and fairly warm. Or does VA allow phone-in voting now?
@38 at least it’s not Massachusetts…sh1t in Mass we elect adulterous drunks who drown their dates as long as they are democrats instead of honest independents or republicans….
The last 3 speakers of the house in massachusetts were all indicted by federal grand juries because the state dems don’t investigate themselves…and the speaker before these 3 is related to the mobster on trial in Boston right now…
If we’re talking corruption, political hackery, and obsessive devotion to party even if filled with criminals, Massachusetts if your game…
#38, thanks! I think it’s mainly Northern VA that has the monopoly on stupid. My husband says it’s the influx of “Marxist Yankee” federal workers that’s caused the shift from Red to blue in recent decades. He was born and raised here, so anyone from Northern VA is necessarily a Yankee scum. Why he married me is still a mystery! 😉
#39 – sure we aren’t electing adulterous, drunken murderers. But it sure looks like we’re electing slimy Clintonites who attend fundraisers rather than attend to their wives and newborns, whom he leaves in the car, weeping.
I’m still shocked that Salon actually ran this piece that labels McAuliffe a sociopath.
http://www.salon.com/2013/05/03/terry_mcauliffe_is_the_worst_terry_mcauliffe_reveals/
Clearly, he doesn’t like Cooch either, but he absolutely SKEWERS McAuliffe.
Meanwhile, the hapless LPVA will be helping elect the sociopath, because it’s really more important to get the LP brand out there, even though the candidate is less libertarian than the Republican, and to act as a spoiler for the GOP to “teach them a lesson” of some sort.
I’ll keep an eye on this Nicki, but if you only get a slimy Clintonite you’re still far better off than I am here in the PRoM…
If not not for the deep family roots here I would be long gone from this silly 4ss state…with 4 grandkids and my son’s business located here moving away means the current every weekend seeing grandkids and spending time with son and daughter and stepson and stepdaughter and appropriate spouses disappears….I’m not yet willing to trade away those moments for another more politically bearable location….
I continue my tirades against the corrupt lying turds here, just look at the two new senators from Massachusetts and you’ll know what I mean, and I continue to work towards keeping western mass at the local level a bit more conservative than the liberal eastern component.
I also drive by the Quabbin Reservoir and urinate in it from time to time to send a distinct message to the folks in Boston who flood 4 towns and steal the water…
It’s not much but it’s what I have at the moment….(I’m kidding about the Quabbin, well maybe I am)
Part of Boston’s water supply, you say? Now, why would anyone object to you adding some recycled Sam Adams to that? (smile)
@43 It is supposed to be filtered between the reservoir and the city of Boston….
I use the Quabbin in my examples of why I like the electoral college and why I like two senators regardless of population in the Federal Senate….
The Quabbin reservoir is what happens when a large population has control over a smaller non-local population and the land that the smaller population lives in.
Boston seized 4 towns and created a 38 square mile lake to create an additional water source for its’ population. Nothing could be done to stop the process by the people of western Mass…
If elections nationally were decided by popular vote only, places like Montana and the Dakotas would become the nation’s toilet…because they lack the population to stop it…too many people never consider those types of outcomes when they suggest things like popular votes, but again most of the people suggesting that stuff live on the East or West coast and consider the middle of the nation something to be flown over and ignored…
That commercial has been blasted out (as in repeatedly shown)here (Northern VA) so many times. All day every day. It’s sickening. My vet group has been getting the word out as we can. Yea, the ‘Gun Show Loophole’. Look, come to Virginia, and go to a gun show, and try to buy a weapon. Hope you have the two forms of id required for the background check. Unless you want to buy one out of the trunk of someone’s car. Hope it isn’t stolen. All ‘closing the loophole’ will do is restrict private transfer – to your buddy – to your son/grandson/daughter, etc… Then I image the fees for this ‘mandated transfer’ through a ‘licensed dealer’ will magically increase. Oh WTF, I’m preaching to the choir here. Trust me, I’m voting. Just hope it counts.
Well, F Virginia. It voted for Obama in BOTH 2008 and 2012. It now will have a mini Obama as governor. Idiots.
Governor Patrick Henry
Governor Thomas Jefferson
Governor Harry “Light Horse” Lee, III
Governor Terry Hillary Bill Barack Bloomberg McAuliffe
The bright side is….There is no bright side. Best of luck, Virginia, you morons.
