It certainly is a Gay Ole Party* with Fetzer leading the train, isn't it?

The wackier and more "consevative" the GOP gets, the less likely it is to see control of any key NC offices any time soon.

See Charlotte election returns for details.

P.S.

The N.C. Republican Party has long been a conservative party associated with the late Jesse Helms, and Fetzer said...

Jesse would have been the first one forwarding the email about Fetzer being gay had he been alive and still kicking the crazy.

Wow. I read this and my first thought was: "Gee, the GOP is really getting smart. They're doing just what they need to do to take control of things."
Not really.
I've been voting in Tar Heels elections for 23 years. The last thing the party needs to do is push moderates out the door. It's moderates that make the difference in the elections. The money that gets spent, the media rhetoric, the courtship of various blocs all take a backseat to voting booth decisions by independent-minded, mostly centrist, moderate voters.

A "NY conservative" is a liberal here. Brad Miller is too conservative to win a GOP nomination north of the Virginia border. What a joke.

Good Grief! Has [Tom is not Gay] lost his cotton picking mind like Glenn Beck or simply so stupid to think that Hoffman is the next " Joe The Plumber" on Shore Leave........

We can only hope

We can only hope that Tom "who-is-not-gay" Fetzer wants to remake the NCGOP in the spirit of the national Glenn Beck Sarah Palin party. In the wake of Art Pope's destruction of Richard Morgan, I say "Let the purge continue!"

Given the oppression and domination of the vile Jim Hunt's legacy has affected NC, Id say TODAY would be the time to change the NC Constitution to the former control!!! He IS the grandfather of CORRUPTION in NC!
THANKS for verifying this fact, Mr. Fetzer!

The NCGOP and the NCDemocratic Party are just like Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. Of course the NC Dems play the part of the Road Runner while us Repubs play the rofe of Wile E. Coyote. And we play that role wonderfully. We just cannot seem to catch up with the Dems. We're comfortable being bumbling idiots. Nothing ever works out for us politically. We would be in a mess if we had not been born rich.

This stunt was pretty good and you cannot fault us for reading all that tripe people wrote. It's too pretty outside to be sitting inside reading.

We have finally learned it's easier to complain than govern. So watch for us grabbing a few headlines once in a while but never worry about us being a serious threat. We're like crabgrass.........you can spray for it but we keep coming back.

True happiness comes from being content with your lot in life.

Chrissy is very much full of it. She knows that Democratic polling firms word questions to get the response they want. Quit being a hypocrite on Perdue staffer.

That Washington Post poll that said 57% favored a public health option failed to mention they asked 13% MORE Democrats than Republicans. Talk about bull.

Senator Berger... tisk tisk your staff should have done a better job. Now you look bad.

Better double-check with props department for your next bit of theater, Mr. Berger.

By the way, Phil

Do you support sending the North Carolina National Guard to help secure our southern border?

Before you can do that, you'd need to bring the 4,000+ NCNG troops back from their third deployment in the combat zone, which is the result of another Republican's Iraqnaphobia. Although I'm sure they would probably prefer your Borderphobia, since they would be closer to home, methinks we've squeezed them enough already.

"He said that while the surveys themselves were not scientific, their results mirror the results of actual scientific ones."

Okay, if that were the case, why didn't he just give the Governor's office the actual scientific survey results?

Protzman:

Is Berger's statment too complex for you to understand? He said that while the surveys themselves were not scientific, their results mirror the results of actual scientific ones. No nonsensical double talk there - only good ol' fashioned honesty about the nature of the surveys.
