BitterEXdemocrat, do you know what a "safe seat" looks like and have you ever used all caps to scream at one?

WNC is challenging Heath Shuler to conduct OPEN FORUMs for folks to question him on the healthcare issue...he was on the radio today on live interview and it was clear he is clueless about it...

WHEN, Heath, are you going to face WE the PEOPLE in WNC on healthcare? You have the whole month of August to do so...we need at least 3-4 different forums in the 11th district!

WHEN? tell us, 'leader'...

I think both Hagan and Burr have done a great job so far this year in trying to protect North Carolina

Fighting the FDA on Tobacco with their joint amendment...

Their diligence on the Camp Lejune contamination case...

Their concern with the President's health care "reform" plan...

I wish I could live under a rock - better than seeing the ignorance of Congress...

Where have you been under a rock? Of course they are playing both sides of the fence. I am trying to figure out what Burr has done wrong. I was thinking he has done a respectable job. Now there are those who want him out just on principal because he is Republican but there is nothing you can do to persuade them because they don't care about issues. Those types are on both sides of isle. Hagan is proving she has a mind of her own also and is not going to follow Obama lockstep. It is too early to tell with her. But to you partisans, there is a box on the ballot that you can check for 1 party voting, it is for the people too stupid to read or pay attention.

I don't know about "unresponsive" because I'm sure if you said "I want something" Brad Miller would respond "but that doesn't help me" ...

So I'm talking about raising money and if G. K. Butterfield raises more than you...

Ate a peanut, ate a peanut, ate a peanut, just now...
Just now I ate a peanut and Brad Miller still sucks.

Rhyming is for Repubicans.

I agree with Gigglebox - he might be the most unresponsive Congressperson in the entire South!

Aren't most of these organizations playing both sides of the aisle?

Can you provide clarity on this question Under the Dome staff?

Fight, fight, fight!

GiggleBox — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:05:05 -0400

I was getting sick of Brad Miller's BS anyway.

Instead of adding a seat after the census, can we eliminate one?

With Xtreme Prejudice!

Who are "the trial lawyers"? Sounds as if all trial lawyers agree on something and form one group.

I'll keep it dumb

Burr against reform. Burr make money.

Burr is strongly supported by the business community, especially the health care, pharmaceutical and insurance industries.

Among his contributors are political action committees belonging to Abbott Labaratories, AFLAC insurance, the American Bankers Association, Americans Health Insurance Plans, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Bank of America, Chevron Employees, Exxon Mobil, and Wal-Mart, Schering-Plough, Smithkline Beecham, Merck & Co., and Baxter Healthcare, American Academy of Dermatology, American Academy of Ophthalmology, American College of Physicians, American College of Radiology, American College of Rheumatology and the American College of Anesthesiologists.

Above is stuff newspaper said. Please don't delete for being mean to Burr.

I am not worried about this. This money will stop flowing once President Obama takes over these companies too. They are only trying to make campaign contributions before nationalization. But I think they will have to give this money back to the state. Unity my brothers.
