Terry McAuliffe? What an embarrassment if He were to be Virginia’s Governor

[Procrustes Stretched]

like i said Roc.....take your head out of the guys ass.....

Is there some actual thinking contribution you'd like to make here? Or do you just normally go around the board with your useless drivel?

the guy is a fucking Politician who cant convince the people in Virginia that he is a better candidate than the guy even a hell of Democrats think is one of the slimiest fuckers around.....if he cant prove he is a better guy.....then thats the end of the story.....you dont live there and i dont live there so it doesnt matter what we think.....the people of Virginia are going to elect a guy who many of them think is a piece of shit as their Governor instead of going for maybe a NON party person who just may be the better choice.....two crappy guys running....but hey we have to pick one of them.....because they represent the two Parties...fuck the other people.....its their State....if they want a slimeball as their Gov.....well then they got it....they can spend the next 4 years bitching about the guy....

This man actually built up the DNC org from a 20th century backwater watercloset, into what Chairman, the Good Dokter, Howard Dean and presidential nominee Barack Obama later inherited after Clinton left office.

McAuliffe rocks!

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.

A SWEET, SWEET DEAL
The lawsuit that details McAuliffe's dealings with the electrical workers' pension fund is Herman v. Moore, filed in May 1999. The title refers to Jack Moore, a friend of McAuliffe's who ran the pension fund (Herman was Alexis Herman, the Secretary of Labor when the suit was filed). McAuliffe and Moore met when they were both supporters of Democratic Rep. Richard Gephardt's 1988 presidential campaign. At the time, Moore was a long-time electrical workers' union official who had virtually unchallenged authority to choose where to invest the pension fund's $6 billion store of capital.

According to Herman v. Moore, on November 19, 1990, the fund entered into a partnership with a firm called American Capitol Management Company, which was owned by McAuliffe and his wife, Dorothy. The purpose of the partnership, according to the suit, was "to acquire, hold, improve, lease, operate, and sell a shopping center and various apartment complexes located in central Florida."

The suit continues:

In 1991, the limited partnership acquired the Woodlands Square Shopping center and five apartment complexes through $39 million in capital contributions from the fund. American Capitol Management Company made one capital contribution of $100....At the outset, each partner held a 50-percent interest in the limited partnership. If the limited partnership's properties sold at a profit, American Capitol Management Company and the fund would share in the gains according to their percentage partnership interests.

The next year, according to the suit, McAuliffe proposed another venture for the partnership: the purchase of a parcel of land near the apartment complexes which could be divided up into more than 500 single-family lots. Instead of another lopsided buying arrangement, the fund came up with the idea of lending McAuliffe up to $10 million to buy the property, which was known as Country Run. As collateral, McAuliffe put up the Country Run land itself, plus his 50-percent interest in the apartment/shopping center venture.

But not long after the Country Run loan was finalized, McAuliffe got out of the apartment/shopping-center deal. According to the lawsuit, in June 1992 the pension fund paid McAuliffe $450,000 for a portion of his 50-percent share. Then, in August 1993, the fund paid McAuliffe $2,000,000 for most of the rest of his share — for a total return of $2.45 million on that original $100 stake. It was an unusually generous deal for the fund's officers to give McAuliffe — especially since it meant that McAuliffe no longer had the property which he had put up as collateral for the Country Run loan.

In the years that followed, the Country Run project went nowhere; according to the lawsuit, by the end of 1996, lot sales to homebuilders were less than half the number that had been predicted. The pension fund's loan to McAuliffe, according to the suit, "was in default continuously from December 1992 until October 1997." In 1997, McAuliffe found another partner and bought out the loan. In the end, Labor Department investigators found, the pension fund got a relatively meager return on its money — significantly less than it would have earned in a more conservative investment.

"The fund lost money as a result of the [Country Run] loan in 1992 and the purchases of additional partnership interests from American Capitol Management Company [the buyout of McAuliffe] in 1992 and 1993," says the lawsuit. "In addition, if the fund had not made these investments, it would have had the money it invested in Country Run and the additional partnership purchases available to invest in prudent investments that would have earned a greater return."

McAuliffe Returns Death Bond Profits…But Only When He Got Caught

T-Mac has known about the improprieties involved in his death bond investment for two years, but only comes clean when his involvement becomes public.

After news broke yesterday of Terry McAuliffe’s ghoulish investment in financial instruments taken out in the name of terminally ill patients (some of whom his partner scraped up from AIDS hospices), the McAuliffe campaign responded swiftly. According to today’s Washington Post, the campaign divested itself of the $26,599 in campaign donations from the scheme’s ringleader, Joe Caramadre, and McAuliffe personally gave up the roughly $47,000 he says he made off his investment.

We do not know if this roughly $74,000 represents the full extent of Terry McAuliffe’s ill-gotten gains, as McAuliffe steadfastly refuses to release detailed tax returns that would allow the voting public to evaluate the so-called “business” record he touts as his major advantage. But what we do know is that the 66-count indictment against Caramadre was handed down in November 2011–nearly two years ago. In the time since, Caramadre’s scheme has been the subject of innumerable accounts in the press. And, we learned yesterday evening via the AP’s Bob Lewis that people involved in this scheme were questioned by postal inspectors (who are the ones who investigate wire fraud charges) well before the indictment was filed.

Don’t haft to it look, the same way the pathetic liberal scum win all their races, smear with crazy allegations on social issues, using tons and tons of money raised by McAuliffe and the Clintons..Any more questions?

Bloomberg to Spend $1.1 Million for McAuliffe

Billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's pro-gun-control super PAC will finance $1.1 million in advertising for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe in the final weeks of the race, Politico reported Monday.

The ads will roll out Tuesday. The election is Nov. 5.

McAuliffe journeyed to New York in August to seek the mayor's support.

Bloomberg, a political independent, has spent more than $15 million on various gun control initiatives — and spent $1 million helping elect Newark Mayor Cory Booker to a U.S. Senate seat in New Jersey's special election to replace the late Frank Lautenberg, who championed gun control, The New York Post reported.

McAuliffe supports 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.
