He Obama will send what is needed. I am all for sending more undercover people dressed like the locals to infiltrate the enemy maybe even the government. Send more Blackwater XE in to undermine the taliban and capture Ben Laden Besides they can get away with stuff. Play like the other countries. Takes one to know one.

Interestingly enough, "Progressives" are just as dumb

Career politicians breed corruption and lies. Vote them out or they and their cronies either die in or retire from public office.

Option one....you win
Option two....you lose

Marshall = Sleeze

Elaine Marshall, just another good old gal. She likes to think she's above all the dirt and sleeze, but here she is, being caught again, right back in the mud. We can do without another Democrat victory in 2010.

Mr. Mills says: "they had some sort of relationship with Secretary Marshall in the past."

Mr. Mills means: "they provided their email address to Secretary Marshall when they registered with the Secretary of State's Office."

How many other times has Secretary Marshall emailed those people? Is this really the first time its happened?

"We'd be glad to remove their names" doesn't address how they got on the list in the first place. We're talking about official state resources... her office regulates lobbyists... and the implication is pay-to-play...

Uh, David? The President's been "deciding" for almost a year. He's had the Petraeus recommendations for almost three months. On the campaign trail last year, he said 10,000 more troops were needed. Was that a rushed, ill-considered announcement, too, or just another Obama campaign pledge that came with an expiration date?

This President has just about become Emperor Nero II.

The resentment stems more from riding Obama's coatails into office despite being by far the lesser candiate for gov. Bev is in way over her head, no surprise she has one of the lowest approval ratings for a governor in the nation.

Well well well great grandstanding. I knew a peerson who was on death row and his sentence was changed to life in prison. He pulled his time and was released.........................many many years ago. I have worked with this man,gone to church with this man, have even hired this man. In the past 20+ years I hve greater respect for this man than I do the Gov.

He just tried to live his life out giving and caring for his fello man. Our Gov is trying to ruin people's lives just to give her better numbers? Mayebe we should lock her up! We can you know........just do not vote for her next election. Find someone who puts NC's problems first and petty numbers builders last.

NC citizens have been lulled to apathy as they THINK that state taxes are fair...ignorance reigns supreme in THIS state.
