Re: Connie, meet a reality check

Connie, quit helping. You make as much sense as half of a Republican "power couple" without the brain tumor.

No, seriously, go away you rejected Republican.

You'd help more running for head of the NCGOP at this point. And you might win! As it's first straight man head.

Ponzi Money, meet mouth

No doubt this fool has been observing Bernie Madoff stay in North Carolina and has made a paper note into a worthless promise......This Republican Neo-con fool should be running the Federal Reserve System since he has created wealth out of paper........

Didn't Brezeale's ex-wife have to recently take him to court for unpaid child support?? And this guy has 250,000 in personal assests?

This is truly bizarre

I know I shouldn't be surprised by stunts like this, but somehow I can't get past the moral squishiness behind Breazeale's promissory note. To put it simply, we now have a candidate for federal office telling us in no uncertain terms that we the people can't trust him to keep his word unless there's money on the line. Of course, he's is in good company. Breazeale knows that voters don't trust Republican liars like Sue Myrick, who made a similar solemn promise as part of her Contract on America, a promise that she wouldn't serve more than 12 years in Congress. We know how well that worked out.

The sleaziest part of all is that when he defaults on his promise, Breazeale says he'll contribute all the money to a charity. What could be more twisted than a non-profit organization having a vested interest in the moral weakness of a public official?

Tell you what, Mr. Breazeale. If this charity is so darn important, how about just contributing the cash today and save us all the drama of watching you struggle with your inner demons. Most adults I know are fully capable of doing what they say without having to stage a publicity stunt like this.

The headline on this post says Breazeale put his money where his mouth is. I'd say it's more like putting his foot where his mouth is.

McIntyre probably is too

That would be like Michael Spinks asking Mike Tyson for a rematch.

Robin Hayes has a history of worrying about nonsense and as far as I can tell has a ton of time on his hands.

and it would be funny to see a caricature of brezeale. Just kidding, he has already had more than his 15 minutes of fame. Now it is time for him to get that back child support paid.

It was my understanding that Palin's clothes were not being kept by her. Is Willie going to turn over the clothes purchased? Also noticed Sylvester Mgt on his report with no address, no purpose of disbursement... Who or what is Sylvester Management? Come on Willie, turn over the clothes.

Any word yet on who has filed for State Senate and State House?

"Surge" didn't bring down violence

Sadr did.

And the time limit is almost up...

I think they could've picked a better issue to campaign other than one that 70% of Americans think is a bad idea. While the surge has brought down the violence it is up to the Iraqis to secure their own future not us. If the GOP continues to run as the War Party it will be a tough night for Republicans on election night if not a blowout.
