Could have something to do with the fact that he was the dem party chairman who used to call repubs scummy to the cheers of the faithful. Maybe?

No he is not my scumbag, I am in AL. Now more eyes catch what our elected officials do. Hope he goes to jail. He will appreciate his position all the better.

Re: McAuliffe among investors in Rhode Island insurance scam that preyed on dying peo

Actually, a report by AP, claiming McAuliffe had been indicted, turned out to be not only false, not to mention libel, but a journalistic flub of epic proportions. McAullife was one of thousands of passive investors, who had no idea of what was going on. AP retracted their story an hour and 38 minutes after first publishing it, and the reporter responsible for the story is in deep doo doo.

AP has now apologized to McAullife
.

Of course, there are some here who will still attack McAullife over this, which would be equivalent to Liberals who attacked Romney because KKK'ers were showing up at some of his campaign stops. Guilt by association is always wrong.

Wow! just Wow! What a D-bag!

If the Repubs had run a less problematical candidate themselves then the race would be over now. As it is, this cockroach may end up as Governor of Virginia. I intend to vote for Cuccinelli, but only because an honest zealot is better than an unprincipled con man.:peace

I wonder if your reply would have been the same if it were George W. Bush or Mitt Romney who deceived investors.
