Conservatives for Neal?


Jim NealA conservative blogger is attacking Democrats for not backing Jim Neal.

At Red Clay Citizen, Chris Hayes writes that the party is acting hypocritically by (rumor says) trying to recruit state Sen. Kay Hagan to run for Senate against U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole.

Is this leading Democrats admitting that they don't think a homosexual man can get elected statewide in North Carolina? If they truly believed sexual orientation doesn't matter, then why not jump in and throw full support behind Jim Neal?

Hayes writes that it's "a wee bit convenient" that national Democrats are recruiting Hagan after they pursued state Rep. Grier Martin, "now that the only other option is a gay man."

This is a rare moment of agreement between Hayes and BlueNC bloggers.

Re: Conservatives for Neal?

There are five candidates in North Carolina running for U.S. Senate. The choices are a podiatric medical doctor named Howard Staley, two attorneys: Kay Hagan and Marcus Williams, a truckdriver Duskin Lassiter, and a homosexual banker Jim Neal who married a woman -- then decided he liked men more and left her in order to participate in the homosexual lifestyle. The most qualified choices are obvious, and Neal is NOT part of this equation. At a recent forum, Neal -- who is regularly accompanied by a flock of homosexual supporters during political functions, could be seen scribbling his own name over and over on paper during the forum. He spoke into another candidate's time and refused to stop talking when the last question was asked. [What he said was neither moving, intelligent or inspirational, nor did his words warrant the rudeness he displayed.] So it's not difficult to see Neal is not only a homosexual-banker, he is a cheat. He cheated on his marriage vows. He cheated another candidate out of his time to speak via radio. He smirks at Duskin Lassiter and during the time Duskin speaks. Neal acts like an immature bully who feels more threatened by truth than his words reveal. He does not play by any rules other than those he makes up as he goes along. He is a confused man. Previously confused by his gender and his manhood. Who wants to vote on a confused man? There is enough confusion in our government without making it worse. Neal would certainly bring confusion in Congress. He tells others he is leading in the polls when in fact he has NEVER led in the polls. The "UNDECIDED" has led the polls. He offers the Democratic Party division, confusion, rudeness, immaturity and lies. The other candidates offer a bit more stability. They are obviously the better choices. No one has asked Neal how he supports himself during this campaign. His work has been his campaign, so it is logical to ask how does he live? Where does his money come from? Does he pay himself a salary from his campaign contributions? Of course, this is probably legal -- BUT, the other candidates seems to be holding down jobs and working on their campaigns in the midst of their work. So, the division we see in the Democratic Party --is not from the majority of Democrats. It is from the extreme left wing Democrats who should consider making up their minds to be or not to be a Democrat as defined by tradition. If they can't make up their minds, then they should form their own party and stop dragging the rest of the Democratic Party and its supporters through the muck and mire. The issues in this election are profoundly important. Solving the problems our Nation faces has no room for narcism, rudeness, immaturity and confusion. It requires astute focus, seriousness and dignity.
