Hope he explains how they keep out any other parties from ANY lawmaking in the once great state of NC, where UNC is a CORRUPT cesspool.

WHY do NC democrackkks even NEED to spend this kind of money, when they already control the state elections?

I believe it is the Dome who is in error here. The road used to be 485......but with the latest state tax increase the number has jumped to 495.

Gbox...um, the republicannots are not the sponsors of the TEA parties so your silliness makes you even sillier...

No, Seriously. Charlotte matters.

As our beloved Congresman Spratt always says, "just ask Carowinds Governor McCrory how self-absorbed you must be to ride this ride."

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Not that this has anything to do with "curving to the left" but it's my Nieces' 5 year old birthday, so I bought two Fancy Nancy Tea Party Books and sent the other one to the NCGOP.

I. Crack. Me. Up.

And in a related story, NC GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer called a press conference to announce that he had called the highway patrol on his cell phone to report Tony Rand's broken left turn signal. Then Fetzer delivered the coup de grâce: "But it really doesn't matter, because we know he's going to turn left most of the time!" ;)

At which point the only reporter in attendance, an intern for the Alamance News, blurted out, "What the #$%&, man! I postponed an interview with an old lady, who thinks someone is moving her furniture around when she's not looking, just so I could listen to this? Thanks."

How appropriate, Not that there's anything wrong with being a fancy nancy!?

Speaker Hackney should speak with his caucus members more often

ThomTillis — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 10:49:02 -0400

Speaker Hackney's comments are another turn in the spin cycle House democrats are using to explain ill-advised policies for increasing taxes and for continuing wasteful spending.

If Speaker Hackney's Chairs of Finance and Appropriations Committees updated him accurately, he should know House republicans made several serious proposals regarding the budget. Virtually all of the republican proposals were defeated in committee or on the House floor. The unfortunate result is a budget that has already destroyed jobs and that will delay our recovery. Republicans opposed the budget because it placed an undue burden on working families and small businesses and many of the cuts were in the WRONG areas. How could we possibly vote for such a budget?

The House Republican Caucus extends an open invitation to Speaker Hackney and any democrat member to publicly debate the reasons why the 2009-10 budget was BAD for North Carolina.

Representative Thom Tillis
House Republican Whip
NC House of Representatives (Mecklenburg)

Here's something that may make you laugh to keep from crying.

"Top 10" Democrat Spin on the North Carolina Budget

If this is what Speaker Hackney is referring to when he says we ridiculed the budget, tell me what part of this is incorrect?

Hey Joe Hackney, what about the $Billion$ you and your crowd STOLE from the NC Highway Trust fund???

and NOW, you people want to force a MILEAGE TAX on us after we buried that idea for you a few months back?

Folks, go to www.NCGO.org and note their list of members who are trying to push this outrage on you! Call them out in your communities.
They want to mandate GPS chips in every auto to monitor and TAX you for things like: driving in heavy traffic during peak periods, driving over bridges, etc...
On TOP OF the HIGHEST GAS TAXES in the region!!!

Joe Hackney, we know ALL ABOUT YOU and YOUR CESSPOOL!

Hackney knows 'all about' Mecklenburg* Story

Yeah! But what does know about the " Mecklenburg Panthers?" Did he know that Jerry was going to fire his sons and when did he know about it?
