IF? Come on congressman Price-D, aren't you the one that voted to continue funding of ACORN? Sir, we all know you do not run your own household this incompently. Every I look I see payoffs and sweet retirement jobs for Democratic syncophants.

Did they wrap themselves in the flag by rolling clockwise, or counter clockwise?

Wow, what a facility, and we would expect nothing less than 'state of the art'...sounds like it will become quite the command center when the rEVOLution occurs...

...those who work for the Sleazely created 'Turnpike Authority' are traitors against our once great roads state...

I think you should post a direct link, in a title blog, to Hampton's detailed, analytical and highly specific response to Pat's charge. You should also not misquote the ad. Hampton doesn't say he will bring the troops home from Iraq. He says he will work to bring the National Guard home.

I'd rather have a Lt. Governor that fights for big ideas and important priorities, rather than one that sits back and waits for permission to act.

Would Pat have objected to Lt. Governor Perdue asserting she would do whatever it took to keep the Pentagon from closing military bases in North Carolina? She did whatever she needed to do, and, by golly, no bases closed. Maybe we should send a letter to the Pentagon and apologize for our Lt. Governor overstepping her bounds, and offer up Pope Air Base as a way of smoothing the ruffled feathers.
