Freedom 1650AM - Conservative Talk Radio in Hampton Roads

Chairman McAuliffe and his money-bag machine

JR Hoeft | December 29, 2008 | Comments (5)

On Jan. 7, former DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe will likely announce his candidacy for Virginia governor. In today’s Washington Post, Tim Craig examines the impact of the Chairman on Virginia politics.

My favorite part is how McAuliffe is soliciting $5 donations to build his contact list and make it look like he’s got popular support. My second favorite part is where Brian Moran says to McAuliffe that Virginia is not for sale.

Bottom-line: McDonnell is going to need every dime. Let’s hope Republicans out of state see it that way too.

  1. Not only is Terry McAullife raising a lot of money, but he is also trying to cast himself as a moderate! The truth is that he is a Clinton Democrat who will not get Virginia’s spending problems under control. He may not raise taxes, however, if he keeps on spending to create jobs and education, without creating the conditions to ensure results we will go farther into debt.

  2. LittleDavid says:

    There is nothing wrong with being a Clinton Democrat. Under Clinton we pushed forward towards a balanced budget.

    After Clinton we got into complete Republican control and nothing that any sane person would call a balanced budget.

  3. The question that I have is will he take the Clinton position on gun control or will he take the Mark Warner position on gun control. He has been on his listening tour talking about being a moderate on abortion and taxes. I think that he is a very smart. It just seems to me that he going to be more liberal than Gov. Warner was.

    MAKE $50000 IN A MONTH!!! Take 5 minutes to read

    Take five minutes to read this and it WILL change your life.

    I just read an article in an internet newsgroup describing how to make
    $50,000.00 in only one month from a $5.00 investment.
    Of course I thought this was ridiculous, or some type of pyramid. I
    talked it over with my family, an attorney, and my friends, and they
    all agreed it was some sort of scam. I hate scams because usually
    someone gets burned, and I didn’t want it to be me! I blew it off for
    a few weeks then saw another one in a newsgroup I go a lot and
    thought, ” maybe this is legitimate”, besides whats $5.00 , I spend
    more than that in the morning on my way to work on coffee and cigs for
    the day!
    Well, two weeks later, I began receiving money in the mail!, I
    couldn’t believe it!
    Not just a little, I mean big bucks!!. At first only a few hundred
    dollars, then a week later a couple of thousand, then BOOM., By the
    end of the fourth week, I had received nearly $47,000.00. It came from
    all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal and on the up
    and up. I’ve been able to pay off all my bills and still had enough
    left over for a nice vacation for me and my family.
    Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well. Marcus
    Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks, Dave Manning claims he made
    $53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only
    $17,000.00 for him. Do I know these
    Folks?. No, but when I read how they say they did it, it made sense to
    me. Enough sense that I’m taking a similar chance with $5 of my own
    money. Not a big chance, I admit-but one with incredible potential,
    because $5 is all anyone ever invests in this system. Period. That’s
    all Markus, Dave or Dan invested, yet their $5 netted them tens of
    thousands of dollars each, in a safe, legal and completely legitimate
    way. Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:

    STEP 1.

    Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five separate
    pieces of paper along with the words, ” PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING
    LIST”.
    (In this way, you’re not just sending a dollar to someone; you’re
    paying for a legitimate service). Fold a $1 dollar bill, money order,
    or bank note inside each paper, and mail them by standard U.S. Mail to
    the following five addressees:

    1) Marco Monet
    409 NE 107 St
    Miami Fl 33161

    2) Alain Renaud
    2638 Augustin Cantin
    Montreal QC Canada
    H3K 1E1

    3) J.R. Arnold
    14777 Wunderlich Dr. 2212
    Houston, Texas 77069

    4) Leila Khalil
    309 E Rand Rd 302
    Arlington Heights IL 60004

    5) Robert del Rosario
    3313 Ashby Field Avenue
    North Las Vegas, Nevada 89031

    Step 2.
    Now remove the top name from the list, and move the other names up.
    This way , #5 becomes #4 and so on. Put your name in as the fifth one
    on the list.

    Step 3.
    Post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. There are at least 17000
    newsgroups at any given moment in time. Try posting to as many
    newsgroups as you can. Remember the more groups you post to, the more
    people will see your article and send you cash!

    Step 4.
    You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing returns
    within 7 to 14 days!!. Remember, the internet is new and huge!. There
    is no way you can loose.

    Now here is how and why this system works:

    Out of every block of 200 posts I made, I got back 5 responces.
    Yes, that’s right. Only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or money
    orders, but real cash with your name at #5.
    Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 200
    additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On average
    then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at #4, … $50.00 in
    your pocket!!

    Now these 50 new people will make 200 postings with your name at #3 or
    10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people = $500., they make 200
    postings with your name at #2 = 100,00 postings = 5000 returns at
    $1.00 each that’s
    $5,000.00 in cash!!

    Finally, 5,000 people make 200 postings each with your name at #1 and
    you get a return of $50,000 before your name drops off the list. And
    that’s only
    If everyone down the line makes only 200 postings each! Your total
    income for this one cycle is $55,000.00

    >From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list, you

    take the latest posting you can find and start all over again.

    So that’s it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me it
    works!
    There are millions of people surfing the net everyday, all day, all
    over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net every day. You
    know it, you’ve seen the stories in the papers. So, my friend, read
    and follow the simple instructions and play fair. That’s the key, and
    that’s all there is to it.
    Print this out right now so you can refer back to this article easily.
    Try to keep an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone
    is playing fairly. You know where your name should be.

    Note: Keep in mind that this has been circulating for over a year, so do not be surprised if some of the addresses are outdated…It won’t matter, because you KNOW your address is correct and since you are starting the process again, all the addresses added by the others will be fresh !!

    REMEMBER…. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. YOU DON’T NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE MONEY!
    GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL WIN
    AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH!!

    Remember “What Goes Around, Comes Around”
