WTF is going on with Terry McAuliffe?

I just got an ignorant email from him that causes me to suspect he doesn't know the difference between Virginia and my state, West Virginia. When I try to reply I get locked up. I have Microsoft Outlook. Even when I just try to open his email message again I get locked up and have to restart Outlook. Repeatedly.

What the fuckity fuck on a fucking trailer hitch? Is he an actual Democrat or what?

The email was sent on his behalf by someone in his campaign.

I won't have that particular problem again (see downthread). There was something sinister going on. Beware.

Maybe it's not really from Terry. The Cooch is not known for playing nice nor are his followers.

On edit: just found one that describes The Cooch as Tea Party before there was a Tea Party. I that the one you're referring to? If so, I can forward it to you if you pm me your email address.

I pasted the message downthread. I added McAuliffe to my blocked senders list and deleted the email. Running a malware check right now. Beware.

Because Ken Cuccinelli refused to follow precedent and step down as Attorney General while running for governor, he's responsible for providing legal advice to the Board of Elections on campaign issues — including his own.

That means his office answers questions about the implementation of voting and election laws, and will be the Board's go-to lawyer if there are any problems or irregularities on Election Day!

If Ken Cuccinelli wants to resolve this stunning conflict of interest, he should recuse himself and his office from election matters immediately.

Add your name to our petition to call on Ken Cuccinelli to restore voters' trust by stepping aside:


Don't think much of him, but he is what he is, a Democrat.

I just junked it and moved on.
Are you sure it wasn't an email that looked like it came from McAuliffe?

Lasher --

I'm running to be Virginia's next governor so I can create jobs and help grow our economy -- I want every Virginian to have a fair shot at success.

But my opponent? Republican candidate Ken Cuccinelli has said his ultimate goal is to "make abortion disappear in America" and that he runs for office because "if you want to end abortion, you have to fill potholes."

Tell Ken Cuccinelli that women's health decisions should be between women and their doctors -- without government interference -- add your name to our petition and join my campaign.

Ken Cuccinelli's extreme agenda isn't just talk:

-- He supported "personhood" legislation that could have banned common forms of birth control like the pill

-- He pushed medically unnecessary regulations on women's health clinics that have already led one facility to shut its doors

-- And he almost derailed the state budget in an attempt to defund Planned Parenthood!

That's a very small sample of his very long record of trying to roll back Virginia women's access to health care. And he's been rewarded for it.

The anti-women's health Super PAC Susan B. Anthony List (they're the group that backed candidates like Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock) has thrown millions of dollars behind Cuccinelli's campaign, something they're happy to do since their president said "we don't find people like [Cuccinelli] very often."

I'm not afraid of Susan B. Anthony List or the other fringe groups backing Ken Cuccinelli because of his extreme views, because I know that most Virginians share my view that women should make their own healthcare decisions.

If you agree too, join my campaign, and tell Ken Cuccinelli that the government has no business interfering with women's health decisions:

Thanks for taking a stand for Virginia's women,

Thanks for supporting President Obama and other Democrats.

Now when I try to open it I just get an hourglass that goes on forever. I was able to copy the above because I forwarded the message instead of opening it. I didn't actually forward to anyone, of course.

Edit: Junking a suspect email sends it to my Junk Email folder. I deleted the email and added McAuliffe to my blocked senders list.

PS: Your problem is you are using Outlook. That link works fine. If you don't want emails, opt out, but save the conspiracies and whining, some of us are trying to defeat Cuccinelli.

7. Hey, I just got an idea for a political ad!

Have you seen that latest anti-Obamacare ad? This young woman enters a clinic, tells them she has Obamacare, is placed on an examining table in her little gown, and then told "well, good luck with that" by the doctor who abruptly leaves. Then, this horrible Uncle Sam efigy pops up between her legs and brandishes a long instrument saying, "Let's have a look!" Well, I just got an idea. The Uncle Sam efigy should morph into a mylar balloon - which then expands and expands and finally pops - to disclose Ken Cuccinelli inside! Then a voice suggests that the anti-Obamacare folks are full of hot air again! Or something like that!
