Yes, Daniel Johnson did sell his Raleigh house some time ago. The current owners were trying to flip it when the bottom fell out of the market.

Did he ever even sell his house in Raleigh?

They better get ready for a WAR. Cause this guy is in for the fight of his life. He will have to really dig deep into those pockets to hold on to his seat.

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.

Re: Hayes: Liberals hate real Americans

Hayes told liberals what he thought of them, and liberals told Hayes what they thought of him at the polls. Good riddance to bad rubbish! Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey hey, goodbye! Sing it with me! Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey hey, goodbye!

Linda Daves wins!

Robin Hayes is off the page. She won't be saddled with his losing record again.

Fascinating the NCGOP hasn't been here to save the day...

Gosh — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:14:20 -0400

Guess we'll all just let Robin Hayes fall off the page together.

I heart bipartisan cooperation.

Thank you Mayor Meeker and Raleigh City Council

Gee, Paul, I guess Democrats dominate the Raleigh City Council because more Democrats than Republicans received votes from the people of Raleigh. Think about it.

I was driving downtown just the other day thinking how improved it looks.

The fact that downtown Raleigh (hey, did you know that Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina, Paul?) looks better than ever is thanks to our mayor and Democratically dominated Raleigh City Council.

If it were up to the hacks who encouraged you to run for office, we could look forward to watching downtown turn into a wasteland for business and a haven for crime.

Thank you, Mayor Meeker and Democratically dominated City Council!

The expression on Kissell's face when he turns back toward the camera is priceless.

Now Isaac,

You know us bigots don't scurry and hide in cracks and crevices no more. This is the 21st century or somewhere close. We now blend in....in plain sight.

Top ten ways us bigots/conservatives blend in when we lose the election:

10. Buy your wife a Volvo wagon, a Lab and put some Thule ski racks on top.
9. Buy a refillable Starbucks coffee mug, grow your hair long and start wearing loose fitting….. earthy, artsy-wartsy type clothes.
8. Have bubble head of Alexander Julian in the car’s back glass and drive without giving people the finger.
7. Skip church and stay at home, reading the wedding announcements in the Sunday paper and drinking herbal tea.
6. Quit sending bad checks to the homeless shelter but now actually send them checks that don't bounce over twice.
5. Stop telling your friends that their newborn babies are as precious as Dick Cheney but now say that they look as good as Barney Frank.
4. Now that Bush is out of office start trying to use good English or at least say something that comes close to making sense.
3. Finally admit that all the conservatives ever wanted was to upset the liberals. We never have had an agenda other than being mean.
2. Realize that the ban has been lifted on making a pass at the liberal guy’s wives. (Some of those liberal girls might even be considered attractive in a liberal sort of way.)

1. Quit beating the wife and start kissing your dog in the mouth.

See you at the Volvo dealership.

I'm sure Hayes denies being denied by the GOP
