You forgot McCrory

James_Protzman — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 19:21:34 -0400

then you'd have the full triple threat. McCain. McHenry. McCrory. McSame. McHorny. McTory. They're all the same, all interchangably devoid of any ideas for the greater good. Bull artists who couldn't care less about the plight of most people in America.

Kissell tries to come off as if he were once an everyday millworker. I worked in the same mill that he did in Star NC, and he never got dirty. He was an office big wig and tucked his tail and ran while the rest of us were left on a sinking ship. Congressman? HAH!

How convenient that I've received a ton of Congressional mailings on Hayes' behalf discussing all the ways in which his office can speed up my passport process and whatnot. Taxpayer money hard at work, in an election cycle.

I'm glad to help Larry have his chance in D.C., with his actual constituency in mind. Can't say that's something Rep. Hayes has ever worried about.

Excellent! Glad he has money to use!

The 11th Congressional District challenger, Carl Mumpower has challenged democrat incumbent football player Heath Shuler to public debate in EVERY county of the 11th district...but GUESS WHO doesnt want to DO that?

NC democrats surely are adept at avoiding public debate in this election...

We DEMAND they accept DEBATE challenges at every oppportunity!

Perdue's turn

Cdickson — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:02:32 -0400

Alright, let the media bias grumbling begin.

Last week was the week of not so flattering stories regarding who McCrory raised money from. Then this entire weekend the top post was an instapundit saying McCrory is going to lose.

We are going to see a thorough examination of Perdue this week, right?

How much money did she get from high ranking state employees, how much money did she get from political appointees eager to keep their influence, has she improved on her abysmal reporting of occupations and other information for her donors, and why did she get so much more money from the special interest PACs than McCrory?

Here's hoping Dome gives her the vetting the public deserves.

Mr. Ryan I do believe Hayes is a Republican. Though I am sure he hopes enough people don't hold it against him this November

I'm trying to decide whether I'd rather be wrong or devious and haven't quite reached a conclusion on that.
