Re: 'What if' dept.: Edwards won

Yea - Edwards had a real good chance of winning - I remember when everyone thought it was going to come down to Edwards or Clinton and they were trying to separate themselves from all of the others. I am surprised he kept his campaign going assuming this affair was going on during his campaign - what was he thinking? Did he assume he could just wiggle out of it somehow? It would have been very bad for the country if he would have gotten elected President then all of this would have come out!!!

Called Heath Shuler, David Price, and Brad Miller's offices yesterday. NONE have any town hall meetings scheduled. The democrats are about to nationalize 15% of our economy and these so called representatives don't want to hear from the people? Where's the hope and CHANGE? Democrats from NC? Where's the reporting from tne N&O on this?

The healthcare bill, cap and tax will kill jobs ... so while you may not be able to feed, clothe and shelter your kids when you lose your job, heck you'll have "free" healthcare! What a deal.

Sheesh... I wish our elected leaders could just think before they do something stupid.

The whole country is suffering. So let's spend more money. We will not be alive when the bill comes due so let's enjoy ourselves with free health care.

Thes peole obviously do not understand the staggering cost of national health care, At a time when the economy is almost in a depression,
They need to understand if that is possible, That the rest of us are not going to go along with them on health care, No matter how much they protest
First things First, Get the economy on track, and enact legislation to gain a more equal trade agreement, We have been losing our shirts the last nine years, that has to change, and once the economy is back to where it should be with Fair Trade .then we can talk about health care

After the big rush for spending the last 6 yrs, shouldn't we take our time and analize everything first? With this being the biggest change in american business history? Then make a change one time that will work from the beginning for everyone without knowing that near future changes will have to be made but we just want to get something started? And we aren't sure what the changes will be? If it is not plain and clear how it will work then it won't. It is a bad time to start dumping money when we aren't sure exactly where it will go. Big boulders are hard to stop rolling.

As a moderate independent, I attended the recent Listening Tour in Asheville with other independents. Fantastic and refreshing after so much exposure to extremist propoganda.

It pays to check out the "facts" and wild statements that are so common now. Don't be a lemming! Use your search engine to check out "propoganda techniques" on independent non-partisan sites - very informative. Soon you'll be able to spot the tricks used, such as those in other comments.

My guess is that yes they are affiliated with ACORN and will probably help on the census. We should watch this group closely. And where is the money coming from to operate this office? State party funds? National party funds? ACORN funds (which come from the US taxpayers)? Soros?

Any ACORN affiliation?

Miller is not only a good American brand, but made in NC. Eden, NC from which hope springs eternal. Thank you for drinking a beer that employs North Carolinians.

As for Heinz, that's still a Republican company as her husband was, but I suggest Texas Pete from Winston Salem.

See? Getting along doesn't hurt one bit. Same mission, different paths.

CitizenOpinionated — Mon, 04 May 2009 13:26:58 -0400

I agree Gosh

I personally have stopped drinking Budweiser products based on their selling out to the European company - but now I have to drink Miller Lite - which has less taste in my opinion...what is a guy to do.

Although I still boycott Heinz products in general because of my disdain for John Kerry, thus his wife's company is guilty by association - but unfortunately there not a comparable product to Heinz 57 that I have found...again what are we to do...

This is funny, but only in light of the bigger picture.

Yes, even Republicans have to consort with Democrats if they want good, healthy things, just like I have to pay Exxon to get to rally against Exxon.

I wish I could say it all works out in the end, but it doesn't.

I can't buy medicine, see a Doctor, buy gas or have any kind of private insurance without funding a political imperative I abhor. If I want to start a business and join the Chamber... suddenly I'm funding ads against my own success. If I like my guns and join the NRA, I'm default against the Humane Society to boot.

The deck may be stacked, but the people are now winning because we have more cards to play.

Good luck to former Senator Dole on her new Democratic diet. May she also lose the useless, ugly 180 pounds North Carolina lost last election by sending her back to Kansas.

I congratulate Dan Blue on his appointment. I am just wondering if this will take him away from his responsibilities here? I would think the panel would also take even more affected time like Clyburn and other full time politicians.

And please add to this list 1) reduced involvment with organizations that are under federal investigation and indictment. Like ACORN.
