After internal discussion sparked by a complaint from a reader, we have decided to delete a comment using offensive and abusive language.

Here's hoping he's down there negotiating discount spring break rates for all the hard working college students of North Carolina. They'll need them after all the tuition increases Easley and Perdue have put through.

I'll have a post up shortly with Easley's schedule, which was provided today. I'm not going to take down these comments because they don't violate our policies. If I deleted every comment that was inaccurate, there wouldn't be a lot left.

Hey Guys: Please take these abusive and inaccurate comments down. Easley's at a foreclosure prevention meeting with attorneys general from around the country.

Re: Easley stops in Florida - not to worry.

I visited Florida over the Thanksgiving holiday and I did not see a cheeseburger with fries that cost anywhere near $60.00. We either have a favorable exchange rate with Florida or either they have right many cows. I don't even think a cheeseburger with fries would cost $60.00 at DisneyWorld.

We'll probably get an art exhibit out of this trip. Or maybe a museum exhibit. They have some real nice alligator museums down there in Florida.

The trip will be worthwhile.....you can bank on that.

Amazing, a governor that does not communicate with the people that elected him. We are not entitled to information about our governor or his schedule, purpose or anything. Yep, totally amazing. Well at least the Campbell boys are not flying him on this mission....

He's hiding all the money he's stolen in as many places as possible. Simple as that. And looking for places to tell Bev where she can hide
all she's going to scam.

heckuva job, Renee

That's a terrific response. Yes, go ahead and heap more scorn on state employees. Why not? The governor has metaphoricaly flipped off state employees, citizens and anyone else who might care about his remaining days in office. He's got nothing to lose -- and clearly isn't worried about the effect of his actions on the Democratic Party.

And you, Renee, clearly you're not too concerned about cleaning up after him with comments like these.

"This is an exercise that state employees who have been around for a while are used to," she said.

Doesn't make it acceptable.

You mention the gas tax, what is our state gas tax? That is a big problem for North Carolina because we have one of the highest. Now, I like nice roads and I'm willing to pay for them. But, don't tell me that you are willing to save me $25 in gas for three months meanwhile the prices for all other necessities are escalating. I believe you confused Hillary and Bill. I doubt the "Goldwater Girl" has ever been on back of a truck. And another thing we know the Clintons are only targeting middle-age and up White women. Those are the ones that are getting the solicitations for their votes while Blacks are getting the robocalls. Another thing you constantly mention the demographics, look at the cities and towns that they are visiting and compare them with the ones Bill visited when he ran for President. Are they the same or has some key areas been left out because of the type of games the Clintons are playing? You are right noone should take anything for granted including the Clinton campaign!

Oh fer cryin' out loud, FCC. You're always screechin' and wailin'. Let me break it to you gently -- you don't speak for "the rest of" anyone.

Dang. I've been reading your rants for months and the strongest feeling any of your "comments" has provoked in me is a concern for your blood pressure. Calm yer butt down and do some push-ups or something. You're probably a right nice feller but someone needs to shove a chill pill down your throat.

Yes, the Democrats have some issues to deal with here, but good lord, look at the national picture and tell me what a great job the Republicans have done.

Do you want to say Bush has been an asset to your party?

Unless you are a US Attorney and have someone under oath, you ain't gonna get a straight answer out of this bunch.
