Career politicians breed corruption and lies. Vote them out or they die in office.

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

When North Carolina voted for a Democratic Senator did we expect less? This is the Democratic class and caste system at its worst.

There is a familiar name in the list of nominees that U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan has submitted to President Barack Obama to be the U.S. attorney for North Carolina's Middle District - Wake County Special Superior Court Judge Ripley Rand.

Rand is the son of state Senate Majority Leader Tony Rand, a Fayetteville Democrat.

Hagan has also recommended Lee Farmer, the member-manager for the law offices of R. Lee Farmer, and Susan Taylor, resident Superior Court Judge in District 20A and 20B.

Hagan also submitted three names for the U.S. attorney in the Western District: Peter Anderson, a partner at Anderson Terpening, PLLC; Danny Davis, Chief District Court Judge for the 30th Judicial District; and Anne Tompkins, a partner at Alston and Bird.
