Paul, please explain "total unrestricted abortion" as opposed to your view which one can now only assume is for the opposite... "partial restricted abortion."

You aren't just making up words on your Mom's computer again are you?

Independent and progressive are misnomers for democrackkk oppression. None of them are independent, and progressive means the opposite of what they want you to THINK it means...

Former state Sen. Cal Cunningham is sounding more and more like a U.S. Senate candidate.

The Lexington attorney recently sent out a letter to potential backers letting them know that he is continuing to look closely at seeking the Democratic nomination for the seat held by Republican Sen. Richard Burr next year, Rob Christensen reports.

"It is my goal to see if we can put together an issue-based, professional, independent and progressive campaign that would make you proud," Cunningham wrote in the letter.

"Before I ask you for your support," Cunningham wrote, "I need to make sure I can look you in the eye, show you a path for victory and tell you where I stand on the issues that really matter in the lives of our citizens."

Cunningham, who recently returned from Iraq as an Army lawyer, has been moving around the state exploring a possible Senate bid.

Also looking at the race is Kenneth Lewis, an Obama fund raiser from Durham. Other names being mentioned include N.C. Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, U.S. Reps. Mike McIntyre and Bob Etheridge and former state Treasurer Richard Moore.
