Terry McAuliffe is the Governor of Virginia when he’s not doing favors for Hillary Clinton. He is described as having bought the Clinton’s some time ago. It is speculated that McAuliffe is vying for the vice presidential nomination.
McAuliffe has an unsavory history of falling into big money at the expense of others.
Gary Winnick: Winnick was the founder of Global Crossing, a fiber optic company that earned McAuliffe $8 million on an initial investment of $100,000—a deal he accessed because he was working as a consultant to Winnick before the company went public. Winnick had been an acolyte of junk bond king Michael Milken before starting Global Crossing. His management of Global Crossing has been compared with Ken Lay’s leadership of Enron. He and other top executives hid the company’s losses and cashed out more than a billion in stock before the company collapsed in 2002 and caused $54 billion in shareholder losses. Lots of people thought Winnick should have gone to jail, but he avoided any serious federal action. McAuliffe cashed out his shares in Global Crossing before it crashed and was not accused of any wrongdoing, but his profiteering in this case has been a political liability for him.
Now McAuliffe has decided to boost the rolls of the democrat party and Hillary Clinton voters:
Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed an executive order Friday restoring the voting rights of 206,000 ex-felons, a sweeping action the governor said was aimed largely at rectifying Virginia’s “long and sad history” of suppressing African-American voting power.
The move, coming in a presidential election year, outraged Republicans who accused McAuliffe of abusing his power to help longtime ally Hillary Clinton win a battleground state by putting more likely Democratic voters on the books.
The governor’s order applies to all violent and nonviolent felons who had finished their sentence and supervised release as of Friday, even those who have not applied for a restoration of rights. Previous Virginia governors have restored rights on an individual basis, but none has done it for an entire category of offenders with one pen stroke.
The order stops short of creating automatic restoration of rights for all ex-offenders, because McAuliffe will have to sign similar orders on a monthly basis moving forward. Still, the order is a historic shift away from Virginia’s policy of lifetime disenfranchisement for those convicted of serious crimes.
“We benefit from a more just and accountable government when we put trust in all of our citizens to choose their leaders,” McAuliffe said Friday from the steps of the state Capitol, where a gospel choir warmed up a jubilant crowd. “It has taken Virginia many centuries, unfortunately, to learn this lesson. But today, we celebrate its truth.”
The action, which comes just days after the General Assembly wrapped up the 2016 legislative session, has the potential to expand the state’s voter rolls, currently estimated at about 5.4 million, by as much as 3.8 percent.
Virginia is one of 10 states that do not automatically restore rights upon completion of a felony sentence and one of only four states that require an application by the felon and action by the governor, according to the McAuliffe administration, which cited research showing one of every five African-Americans of voting age in Virginia has lost the right to vote.
Supporters praised McAuliffe for what they characterized as a bold step that will give ex-offenders a chance to fully participate in civic life. Opponents called it a potentially unconstitutional overreach that will further strain the relationship between the governor and the Republican-controlled legislature.
Most recognize this for the blatant political ploy it is:
Speaker of the House William J. Howell, R-Stafford, blasted the order as a political ploy to boost Democrats’ chances in November.
“The singular purpose of Terry McAuliffe’s governorship is to elect Hillary Clinton president of the United States,” Howell said. “This office has always been a steppingstone to a job in Hillary Clinton’s Cabinet.”
It is meant to turn Virginia from purple to blue.
McAuliffe’s order included violent felons, which presumably includes murderers, and that makes Hillary proud. They’re “breaking down barriers”, as she puts it, to facing consequences for the commission of crimes.
Who wouldn’t be proud of making murderers feel better? Who wouldn’t feel good about removing disincentives for killing people?
The point of this action is grow the rolls of democrat voters, which is itself evidence that criminals are predominantly democrats. One gets the feeling that democrats would make murder legal if it would mean more votes.
UPDATE
Sissy Matthews admits felons will help get Hillary elected:
In a move that is being widely criticized as an attempted boost for the Democratic Party, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe on Friday signed an executive order allowing former felons to vote.
The Democratic governor is a longtime ally of the Clinton family, said Daniel Halper, online editor of The Weekly Standard.
“This is a huge hand, a huge helpful hand and a gift, really, right before the 2016 presidential election – adding 200,000 mostly Democrats to their rolls going ahead in what will be a crucial state for Hillary Clinton to win.”
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Maine and Vermont allow people to vote while in prison, they also have the lowest rates of incarceration
Dr J VA is allowing its citizens the same voting rights as those in 80% of the states. Do you oppose that ? Best estimate is that the Dems will gain about a .5% advantage in real votes, significant in a state that is getting a darker purple each year,
The big change that Dems are waiting for is when Clinton’s nominee for SCOTUS (Elizabeth Warren?)gets approved, that will put an end to gerrymandering which occurs most often in Red States. The GOP may well regret not putting in Garland
I would propose that most criminals, if they participated in the electoral process at all, are liberals. First, they don’t think they should have to work for a living. Second, they think anything that belongs to someone else is fair game and they have as much a right to it as the legal owner. Third, when caught and convicted, they feel it is all someone else’s fault. Classic liberal characteristics.
McCauliffe says that blacks are felons. I’ve been busy… was there outrage?
Perhaps Terry is looking forward to Hillary’s future and does not want her to lose her right to vote.
@Bill: A very accurate description!
The felons whom McAuliffe has allowed to vote include murderers, rapists (including those who have committed child rape), armed robbers, and kidnappers. Is it churlish to ask whether people who have committed such heinous crimes ought to feel good about themselves?
An ex-con can and should feel good if he is truly reformed. But allowing criminals to vote does not reform them.
I think the gov is a bit over the line. This is about politics pure and simple.
The 2 states that have the lowest rates of I carceration both allow people IN prison to vote
Allowing humans who have been convicted of felonies (or those who have committed felonies but have not been convicted of such) the right to vote is a right given by 40 of the 50 states
It is upsetting to some to think that VA will be in the future a dark purple state
Right now the over/under of electoral votes that the winning party Dems will get is 307 it will be interesting to see if this VA situation will change that number
In any case it doesn’t look good for the GOP White House (again) in 2016
Makes sense that murderers and rapists are given the right to elect murderers and rapists.
Charlie any comment on Deny Hastret the longest serving GOP Soeaker if the House (2nd in line to be POTUS) and his admitting to be a serial child rapist when he was a high school wrestling coach ? People who live in glass houses……..
@John: He ADMITTED it. And John, ALL men are liars including me and you. The curse of Babel lives on and in its fulfillment has resulted in alliances between divisions of somewhat like minded people who badger those opposed to their ways. The adversary seeks to destroy us all by igniting those differences into full fledged war, God seeks to unite all people by settling those same differences. Of course the rest of us are mostly carnal which is why I took the low road in pointing out a minor difference. Sorry if I offended you, but hey, that’s what humans do.
I tend to be rather forgiving by nature but a wrestling coach raping high school students? That’s bad
And to think the GOP put him 2nd away from the POTUS
Remember all the cries for impeach Obama?
Good thing Hastret didn’t move up a notch we came really close to a serial child rapist as POTUS
@John:
At least the GOP weeded him out long before he got close — unlike the serial rapist klintoon and his hildabeast enabler — who actually WERE IN the whitehouse. Nice try though but no banana!
@John:
What a sad effort at moral equivalence. One Hastert against 200,000 rapists and murderers.
Pathetic.
@DrJohn:
Nooooo
Untrue
Those 200,000 were not all rapists and murders, far from it
Only a tiny fraction of people who are convicted of murder ever get parole
Most of those 200000 were convicted of much lower felonies most in fact were nonviolent felonies. And again, they will not be elected by the GOP to be 2 heartbeats away from POTUS
So hardly the same as electing Hastret an admitted serial gay child rapist
How you can make any attempt to defend Hastret in any way is beyond me. A high school wrestling coach raping his boys????? Wtf!!!
Now if you want to return to ” should Hastret be allowed to vote?”
My answer is yes
However I think he should never have been elected or to have been allowed to be the GOP longest serving Speaker of the House
@John:
Show the nice people here where anyone defended Hastert (not Hastret). John, you continue to live in your own cloud-based fantasy. The typical liberal.
@John:
Good news, John! Mcauliffe has just restored the voting rights of Osama Bin Laden, Tafsheen Malik and the Tsarnaev brothers.
@John:
John, be fair.
Hastert perceived himself to be a 15 year old girl at the time. Thus what he did was no crime.
Their presidential candidate will be a felon!!
@John: If he where a Demoncrat you would be applauding his diversity!!
Hastret was a gay serial child rapist for almost 20 years
I see no humor in that
He ruined boys lives, one boy killed himself about 6 (?) years after
Laugh about that if you wish Dr J I can’t. One boy was 14 years old.
@Common Sense:
No I wouldn’t be applauding and neither would you
If he were a Democrat, the GOP and Rush would be outraged but because he wasn’t his crimes are some sort of punchline for you. Outrage ? Shall we turn on the way back time machine and remind Dr J about his outrage over the phonetic scandal with the UNDERAGE DOMINICAN HOOKERS!!!
@John: You can do whatever you like, at least for now. Who knows if Hilldabeast gets the nod!!
@John:
Hastert.
@DrJohn: sorry thanks for the spelling check
@John: So, were you as appalled as I was when Obama nominated Kevin Jennings, a gay supporter of NAMBLA, as his “safe schools” czar? How about how Hillary has the wife of a known, proven and admitted pervert as her primary adviser?
@DrJohn: Who wouldn’t be proud of making murderers feel better? Who wouldn’t feel good about removing disincentives for killing people?
A bit of a stretch “Gee I cant shoot this guy for the drug money he owes me, I wont be able to vote. I am so READY FOR HILLARY”
I think there is something about being raised in a progressive liberal atmosphere that creates more criminals. But why this progressive wasn’t jumped for saying this was aimed largely at rectifying Virginia’s “long and sad history” of suppressing African-American voting power. like the Negros are the only felons and ex-cons, shame on the libs and media for not catching that macro racist statement.
We have heard how Hillary Felon Clinton has Admitted to Knowing the Classification System for Classified Information at the State Department.
We can be Certain that the Self Serving Hillary Clinton Lies and Parses words so as to Deceive rather than to Serve the American People, and Hillary Clinton said: “I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material. So, I’m certainly well aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.”
However, People Realized that she was Obviously Lying Again as Usual, and so she began saying that she did Not send or receive Information that was marked with the word Classified, and that is Only true, because Classified Information is Never marked with the specific word Classified, but Classified Information is marked as either Classified, Secret, or Top Secret, and even if there is No markings on any Secret Information, it is Automatically Classified Information, because of the nature of that Material that Must be kept Secret, and so Hillary Clinton was being Deceitful as Usual, with her Deceptive play with words, which is one way that Lawyers defend Criminals, and Hillary Clinton Stored Classified Information on her Unsecured Personal Email Server, contrary to the Espionage Act.
Hillary Clinton Sent, Received, and Stored Secret Information on her Unsecured Personal Email Server, even though she Knew that the Material was to be Kept Secret because it was Classified, and that there are Laws on how to Send, Receive, and Store Secret Information.
There are 2 Government Inspector Generals who looked at Clinton’s claims and found that an Investigation was warranted, and there was no permanent Inspector General at the State Department during Clinton’s 4 year tenure there at http://www.wsj.com/articles/state-department-lacked-top-watchdog-during-hillary-clinton-tenure-1427239813 , and at http://nation.foxnews.com/2015/07/23/nyt-criminal-inquiry-sought-hillary-clintons-use-email , and the Clintons Know that Criminals can escape Justice if they pay some type of Bribe, or if they have some Dirt on the Prosecutor so that they can Blackmail him, and this is why Americans want Honest Public Officials at http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2016/04/i_plead_guilty_former_st_charl.html .
Hillary Clinton issued a Decree which has the Euphemism of a Memo to All State Department Employees Not to use their Unsecured Personal Email Accounts for State Department Business, because of Security Reasons, but we Know that Hillary Clinton Secretly gave herself and a few Others in the State Department a Secret Exemption, because Hillary Clinton considers herself to be Above the Law at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2982568/Hillary-Clinton-s-office-told-employees-NOT-use-personal-email-security-reasons-internal-memo-shows-s-claimed-created-multiple-private-addresses-use-herself.html .
Hillary Clinton did Not to use a Government Email Account, because she did Not consider herself to be a Patriotic American, because she had to let Foreigners see American National Secrets, without her looking like an Obvious Traitor that she is, and yet Hilary Clinton Lies by saying that this is experience for becoming President, but for those who Know better, it is another of many examples of Clintonspeak at http://dailycaller.com/2016/01/18/emails-clinton-aides-resisted-state-department-suggestion-that-clinton-use-state-gov-account/ .
We can see that Hillary Clinton does Not believe in Accountable Government, because she is a Criminal and a Traitor and does Not want to be Honest or Accountable.
Hillary Clinton said she Knew of the Classification System, which says that certain Information is Classified whether it has been Marked with a Classification, or if it has Not been marked with a Classification, and this is because of the nature of that Material, and a Secretary of State has a Responsibility to Recognize such Information and to keep that Information Secret.
The Secretary of State and All those with Security Clearances are Trained to Recognize such Information and Treat it the same, whether someone has marked it with a Classification level or has not marked it with a Classification level, and Hillary Clinton said that she Knew these things, but she Ignored it, because she thinks that she is and should be Above the Law, and Hillary Clinton is more Transparent to Foreigners rather than to the State Department, the Congress, and the President, and because Prosecutors are Not mind readers, then this is why Espionage does Not have to be Intentional or cause harm to Americans and America, because every Traitor has their Lies Prepared if they are caught, and this applies even more to the Lawyer Hillary Clinton, and Information is not Classified because it is Marked, but it is Marked because it is Classified, and Hillary Clinton who created Emails should have Marked those Emails as Classified, but had she done that, then she could Not say that she did not Send Emails Marked Classified, and so we can see Hillary Clinton’s Treason and Criminality.
We have heard some People say that Socialism is bad, but the Facts are that it is too much Socialism that is bad, and the right amount of Socialism, which is Not too much and Not too little is Good, because it is Vital for a Good Economy.
It Needs to be said that sane Economists would Never advocate that there be 100 % Socialism in America, and I think that the total amount of Socialism in a Capitalist Country should be approximately that of what it is in the average First World Country, and that is approximately one third of Gross Domestic Product of those Countries as an average, and the Only reason for 100 % Socialism in the Soviet Union was to Create a Dictatorship, and the Capitalist aspect of the rest of America’s Economy should be Regulated Free Enterprise with Free and Fair Competition, but much of the American Economy is Fascist Crony Capitalism of Monopolies, and this is one reason for the lower rate of Economic Activity in America.
We can define Socialism as Government Employment Programs and Investment Programs funded with Taxation, and the Taxpayer funded Government itself is Vital to the Economy of a Country, because if a Country did Not have a Government, then its Economy would be significantly lower than if a Country has a Government, and an example of Socialism being a Taxpayer funded Employment Program and a Taxpayer funded Investment Program is the Police.
The Police could Not make a profit, but if the Police did not exist in America, then America’s Economy would be that of a Third World Country, and so the Police employ People, and they are an Investment in the American Economy, and it is a Socialist Taxpayer funded Program, which Employs People and is a Vital Investment in America’s Economy, and also an Investment in better Social Harmony and Public Order in America.
There are Many People who think that Public Funding of College and Universities is an Investment in America, because it Creates Employment of Graduates who will earn Salaries and pay Taxes.
The following is important for Voters to Know, because they have a Right to understand these matters, and it is self explanatory, and this is why there are Many Voters think that the Clintons are and should be yesterday’s Politicians.
There are Many People who Know Hillary Clinton, and that Hillary Clinton has Pretended to be of the Left, because she wants to win the Democratic nomination for Presidential Candidate, rather than Senator Sanders becoming the Democratic Party nominee for Presidential Candidate, and if she manages to become the Democratic Party nominee, then she will be Centrist during the Election Campaign, and she will be to the Right if she is elected, and this is why Elites suggest that Hillary Clinton would be a better Puppet for the Elites than any Republican, because they are certain that the Clintons have been Secretly Filmed, and that a Vice Presidential Candidate for Hillary Clinton, also has been Secretly Filmed.
Hillary Clinton has used Slander, Vote Rigging and Voter Suppression, along with many other Dirty Tricks from the Clinton Machine, and this is why the American Social Democrats think that Senator Sanders should be Compensated with All of the Democratic Party Super Delegates Voting for Senator Sanders for Presidential nominee, and there are some American Social Democrats who think that Hillary Clinton should release her Unedited Paid Speeches, if she wants their Votes, and they suspect that Hillary Clinton may Alter the Text of her Speeches which Essentially says that she will be Plutocrats Puppet for Money, and that she will continue to Lie to the American People, but any alteration to the Text of those Speeches will be Recognized, and this is why Hillary Clinton keeps it Secret, because if she became President, then others could question her on the Altered Text of those Paid Speeches, or Bribes.
We Know that Hillary Nixon Clinton was involved in the Watergate Impeachment Committee to Investigate President Nixon, because Nixon had Lied by saying that he had revealed All of his Secret Tape Recordings of People, but he Lied and he was being Investigated by an Impeachment Committee, and it is said that the Chief of Staff of the House Judiciary Committee Jerry Zeifman said that Hillary Clinton is a Liar, and that she is Unethical.
We can assume that because Hillary Nixon Clinton was on the Watergate Impeachment Staff in 1974, that she thought of how much better Nixon could have Advanced his Career with his Tape Recordings had he done things differently.
The Clintons were married in 1975, and Hillary Clinton is a Lawyer, who began working at the Rose Law Firm in 1976, where Webster Hubbell was the Managing Partner at the Rose Law Firm, and so she has heard much regarding the Schemes of Criminals, and she may have heard how in the past, there was a woman who trained and instructed her underage daughter on certain ways to lure a man do certain things, in order to be able Blackmail that man.
The thoughts on how President Nixon could have done things differently may have come to Hillary Clinton’s mind before she became the First Lady of Arkansas in 1983, and no one Knows if the Governor’s Mansion in Arkansas had Conversations Secretly Recorded or Secret Films made during the Governorship of Bill Clinton.
It could be that Hillary Nixon Clinton may have thought that if President Nixon had Secretly Tape Recorded or Filmed a Political figure with an underage female, then Nixon could Blackmail him to be his Puppet, and Nixon could have done this with Journalists to make them his Puppets to help him Politically.
Hillary Nixon Clinton Knew that she Needed Bill Clinton for her Ambition to be the President during what appeared to be Bill Clinton’s Presidency of 1993 to 2001, and she would Need Bill Clinton to Campaign for her this year.
We heard Bill Clinton say that Hillary Clinton was a Co President with him, and because the Clintons wish to occupy the White House again, then Hillary Clinton may want to Secretly Record or Secretly Film People to make them her Puppets, and Many People think the Clintons have already made Many Puppets, by Tempting and Secretly Filming those they want to be their Puppets, and that this is why the System has become Thoroughly Corrupt.
It is Legitimate to ask Bill Clinton when he became aware that the Person who is said to be Bill Clinton’s biological daughter, is Not his biological daughter, and perhaps she is not the biological daughter of Hillary Clinton, and if a DNA Test reveals that, then Bill Clinton Knew this all along, and before that Person was a teenager, and who only became a teenager after Bill Clinton was sworn in as President in 1993, and there are Americans who think that Hillary Clinton should have an Honest DNA Test to see if she the biological mother of the Person who is said to be her biological daughter, but what is Definitely Known is that Bill Clinton is Not the biological father of the Person who is said to be the biological daughter of Hillary Clinton, and there are Credible People who say that Bill Clinton Knew all along that he is Not the biological father of the Person who is said to be the biological or adopted daughter of Hillary Clinton.
Webster Hubbell was the Managing Partner at the Rose Law Firm, where Hillary Clinton worked, and he is Definitely the biological father of the Person who is said to be Hillary Clinton’s biological or adopted daughter, with People being Deceived or Bribed or Intimidated to give a false narrative at
.
The First Fact regarding this matter is that Bill Clinton is Not the biological father of the Person who Hillary Clinton claims to be the biological daughter of Bill Clinton, because Webster Hubbell is her biological father, and therefore, it could be possible that Hillary Clinton may have adopted the Person she says is her biological daughter, from one of Webster Hubbell’s Affairs.
We Know that Webster Hubbell is a Lawyer, and he may have Defended People who committed Pedophilia against those who are their biological children, and sometimes it is both the biological Parents who have committed Pedophilia against their own children, and we only have to look at Bill Clinton’s record.
Jeffrey Epstein is an American Billionaire Financier who has his own Private Island, and he is a Convicted Sex Offender and a Good Friend of Bill Clinton at http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2015/07/judge-unseals-more-details-in-jeffrey-epstein-underage-sex-lawsuit-210065 , and at
, and at http://www.gossipextra.com/2016/03/29/jeffrey-epstein-lawsuit-settled-good-news-hillary-clinton-5804/ .
There could be some People who might be wondering if Jeffrey Epstein thinks that perhaps Hillary Clinton is not the biological mother of Bill Clinton’s step daughter, because Most things about the Clintons are False, and perhaps there could be some Friends of Bill Clinton who asked Bill Clinton if he Knew any cleaning ladies and maids with young daughters while he was at the White House, and if this is one of the Reasons why he wishes to go back to the White House.
There could be People who think that there could be some men who have fantasized about having a young female in their home who does Not share their DNA, and that their wives may be understanding of this, especially if they have a talented husband, who they Need for her their Careers, and so Jeffrey Epstein may be wondering how long ago Hillary Clinton was aware of Bill Clinton’s Many Infidelities to her, and if it began when the Person who is said to be Bill Clinton’s biological daughter was a young girl.
We Know of Hillary Clinton’s Callous Reaction and even Laughing with Delight, because she was the Lawyer for an Obviously Guilty Pedophile, and she was able to help that Pedophile escape Justice, and this says a lot about Hillary Clinton, and how she views Bill Clinton’s Infidelities and Deviancies, and the Person who is said to be the biological daughter of Hillary Clinton is unlikely to tell what she Knows of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.
There are Many Voters on the Left who could Never bring themselves to vote for Hillary Clinton, because they Know that they would be showing a Lack of self respect for themselves, and that they would be showing Contempt for their Fellow Americans, and this is why they will Vote for Anyone But Clinton for President of America at https://www.the-newshub.com/us-politics/i-wont-vote-for-clinton-and-will-encourage-sanders-to-run-a-third-party-bid-for-president .
Well Anonymous seems to have covered just about all the right wing talking points there…..
@John: Yes he has exposed your to reality!!
Anon was really running on there it was impossible to follow
@john: Yes we know. Use small words and short sentences for you.
Friday funny
HRC delivered 175,000 petition signatures in 26 large file boxes to the State House. They held a splashy press conference were an HRC rep stood at a podium behind the stacked boxes. It was truly a sight and a great day for “democracy.” Except that it wasn’t.
Because then came the hard part – the part the left dreads. All the signatures had to be checked for authenticity. Oops!
The Governor posted on Facebook: “Contrary to the media reports, the professional activists only delivered enough petitions to fill two boxes…” But what about the other 24 boxes? They were apparently empty.
I tried to check on that with Google and came up with nothing
You really should provide a citeing so people could see whatvYOU are talking about
