Dalton two ads...

PoliticalJunkie — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 12:23:37 -0500

That must be the ad running in the Charlotte media market.

The one I've seen in Raleigh and Eastern NC says "Charlotte Millionaire".

Guess Dalton is running against his own region in the rest of the State - disingenuous fellow that he is.

The Lenoir area? The Dell plant is located in Forsyth County just outside of Winston-Salem.

Hey Walter Dalton...about the Dell jobs for NC people?...um, the measily 200 new jobs would have to be filled from outside the region it was in which means mostly from out of state...because of the LACK of skilled workers in Lenoir area.

Does Dalton have a CLUE about how South Carolina handled their Dell 'incentive' plan???

HOW can ANYONE with a brain EVER vote for another democrackkk in NC???

Re: Pittenger is a bully

Pittenger is bought and paid for by the business interest in and out of this state! He has been using a "non-profit group" for years to put his NeoCon ideas in the public discourse by using other people's money to buy ad space in newspapers and air time on Right-Wing repoblican radio. He will just be another puppet of Corporate Board Rooms. His mindless supporters with spread any LIE they can think of against the people's candidate, NC Sen. Dalton.

"90 Percent Pittenger"

scharrison — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:56:47 -0400

"Republican opinions, ideas, amendments and even the opportunity to speak are rarely allowed in the governing body of the Peoples Republic of North Carolina."

And yet, Pittenger voted with the Democratic majority over 90% of the time. Why? Because he got the things that he wanted for him and his rich friends.

It is time to introduce to the NC government reform that will remove all of the Democratic pay to play policies. Transparency is needed that will not happen under a Perdue/Dalton administration.

It is time to throw out the Democrats and bring in some common sense Republican ideals of personal initiative and responsibility. Lowering the spending of our bloated state government will bring somer relief to taxpayers when followed up by returning that money back to where it blelongs. The taxpaying people of North Carolina.

Re: Lt. governor candidates debate

Pittenger did exceedingly well in the debate!

Now why is it that Bev Perdue doesnt want her debates on WUNC-TV for statewide viewing?

Re: "Status Quo Bev" controlled by Rand

FFC1304 — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:24:21 -0400

Bev Perdue is nothing BUT 'MORE CORRUPTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION!'

her arrogance about trying to deny her power elite inclusion is preposterous!

Pittenger Lt. Gov. LLC

bnartist — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 09:47:39 -0400

I think it's more likely that he would answer to the name "Robert Pittenger Lt Gov LLC"

Re: Pittenger's bully pulpit

mickiep — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 09:21:49 -0400

Democrats have had a tight grip on absolute control of the legislature for a very long time. Republican opinions, ideas, amendments and even the opportunity to speak are rarely allowed in the governing body of the Peoples Republic of North Carolina. If comrade Perdue is elected governor, it will just be more of the same old single party control of state government.

What would Pittenger do as Lt. Gov.

domewatcher — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 09:21:09 -0400

The question asked above is:

"What would Robert Pittenger do as lieutenant governor?"

I really don't know for sure but I doubt he would answer to the name, "Dumpling." If he does we will have some real deep problems.

He really looks more like a "Bob" to me.

Dalton, just like Jim Black?

PoliticalJunkie — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 08:53:22 -0400

Dalton voting for 200 million incentives for Dell corporation while he owned stock in the company, isn't Jim Black in federal prison right now for fattening his own pocket and taxpayer expense?

Dalton's Conflict of Interest?

PoliticalJunkie — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 08:51:16 -0400

What is the story on Dalton voting for 200 million incentives for Dell corporation while he owned stock in the company?

Isn't the plant for sale now?
