You do read your own links, right?

Under that word "Lobbyist" it says "Clay" not "Burbridge"

Cornbread,

Glad to see you are not letting facts get in the way of a post. The Archdiocese of Raleigh & the Archdiocese of Charlotte are already registered @ Principal Registration

Now what about Rev. Barber...

...then it's good for the red-robed gander.

Conservative activist Francis De Luca argues that Rev. William Barber of the state chapter of the NAACP should have to register as a lobbyist

Why isn't Fran arguing that Bishop Michael Burbidge be registered as a lobbyist?

Don't worry. We know the answer.

What makes Carter Wrenn a "Republican Consultant?"

I tell Republicans they suck every day. Where's my title?

Does it not pay to state the obvious?

RTB, the link on your "quick hit" about Fitzsimon's comments about Easley being considered for the S.Ct. doesn't work.

Re: Obama: Keep comm. colleges open

Much as I'd like to jump on Obama for this (AND I WOULD for his being a Quisling in the Mexican invasion described in Pat Buchanan's best seller "State of Emergency") I have to call BS on McCain on this one. He was a 4 star general in the amnesty push last year and he has yet to drop his call for blanket amnesty for every illegal alien in this country that hasn't committed a felony since they have been here. NEWSFLASH: THEY ARE ALL CRIMINALS AND OUGHT NOT BE CODDLED OR ALLOWED TO STAY!!

wwf165 -- I agree completely. Now we just have to talk Richard Moore into waiting with us.

Dang it, we need a decent nickname for the boy.

Bleh h h h ... if he 'knew' something, WHY in the hell didnt HE, as a loyal democrat, speak up?

Ron Paul's been predicting it for 10+ years, yet he got mocked...was Richard Moore scared to say something?

Re: Moore: I saw financial crisis coming

wwf165 — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 19:29:23 -0400

Issac - I, too, am upset that Mr Moore lost the danged primary. I honestly don't know what my fellow democrats were thinking. But a four year break in the governor's mansion might be a good reflection time for all we democrats.

Re: Moore: I saw financial crisis coming

Isaac136 — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:54:38 -0400

Now I'm upset about his losing the danged primary all over again.

PLEASE, Mr. Treasurer, PLEASE don't abandon us to our fate. Come back and win the governor's mansion back for the Democrats after McCrory's first term.

Re: Pittenger is a bully

riverrd — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:08:28 -0400

Pittenger is bought and paid for by the business interest in and out of this state! He has been using a "non-profit group" for years to put his NeoCon ideas in the public discourse by using other people's money to buy ad space in newspapers and air time on Right-Wing repoblican radio. He will just be another puppet of Corporate Board Rooms. His mindless supporters with spread any LIE they can think of against the people's candidate, NC Sen. Dalton.

"90 Percent Pittenger"

scharrison — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:56:47 -0400

"Republican opinions, ideas, amendments and even the opportunity to speak are rarely allowed in the governing body of the Peoples Republic of North Carolina."

And yet, Pittenger voted with the Democratic majority over 90% of the time. Why? Because he got the things that he wanted for him and his rich friends.

It is time to introduce to the NC government reform that will remove all of the Democratic pay to play policies. Transparency is needed that will not happen under a Perdue/Dalton administration.

It is time to throw out the Democrats and bring in some common sense Republican ideals of personal initiative and responsibility. Lowering the spending of our bloated state government will bring somer relief to taxpayers when followed up by returning that money back to where it blelongs. The taxpaying people of North Carolina.
