Poor McCain has LOST IT~

You'd think that with such a super duper plan McCain would be out stumping and swinging and proclaiming his solution, but noooooooooo instead we see this nutball calling for a time-out!

Is this what he calls grace under fire? I'd sure hate to be standing between him and the door when someone yells fire!

A reporter should ask these clowns why they think McCain's plan will work, when it clearly didn't work way back when it was called "Bush's plan."

Erwin needs to get his facts straight. Franklin Raines is not and has never been an advisor to Sen. Obama.

You would think that once the mcCain campaign has the facts pointed out to them, they wouldn't trot out otherwise respected people, prepped with statements that they may not realize, but the campaign CERTAINLY realizes, are untrue.

And I am also not surprised that McCain supporters, even nominal Democratswho now support McCain, would prefer McCain's plan. Wow. Cutting edge political reporting going on here. Further news flash, wealthy supporters of republican candidate prefer their taxes stay low while the rest of the population struggles with higher fees and taxes.

Shocker.

Wow, that's kind of surprising -- that McCain supporters would say his plan is better than Obama's. Gosh, go figure.

And one of 'em has helpfully pointed out that "someone suggested" a slur against the character of an economic advisor tied in the past to Obama.

It's sure swell of these guys to agree to a conference call with reporters to spread this important, unbiased, uninterested advice on an issue that has folks on the verge of a national freak out.

Good thing politics isn't involved, or we might have to be cautious about our sources.

Boseman's Drug Use

WECT

Finally reported on.

And what about the allegation about a signature on a campaign report by the campaign treasurer that looks wackydoo.

We read about Thomas Wright daily it seems but the hammer came down at the Wilmington Star News about info regarding Boseman.

Then its okay...

Senate — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 12:28:33 -0400

...for Boseman, unknown to her former partner, to transfer the property in foreclosure our of Boseman's name and into her partner's?

It doesn't change the fact that she is still a co-signer of the mortgage. Which means she is legally responsible for the debt, which means the bank is foreclosing on her.

Not withstanding Boseman's legal hijinks, she hasn't paid her taxes or a mortgage payment that she is responsible for since last August.

What an example of leadership.

I am appalled!

The only point that I was making was that technically Boseman was not forclosed upon, if the property was not in her name. If there's more to the story, then the N&O should give all the facts. Based on what was blogged, it is easy for me to believe that it is bad journalism.

Keep your insults to yourself (because they are rude and cause you not to represent yourself very well), but I do appreciate the insight that you offered.

And yes, I agree that everyone should be held to the same standard... including freedoms to marry.

You two leftwing sycophants are wrong again...

Senate — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:58:43 -0400

...the people in Wilmington sure think it is a story:

Star News Forum - Charlotte Motor Speedway Drinking Incident
Star News Forum - Boseman Home Foreclosure

And the NY Times owned most leftwing editorial page in North Carolina disagrees with you both and opines it is a " Personal problem, public issue ".

The old wolf cry of "You're beating up on her because she is a Lesbian" isn't going to work with a court transcript like the one linked above available.

She needs to be held to the same standard as every other legislator. A good place to start would be for her to pay her taxes.

It's too bad that you could not have read the forum discussion and transcripts of court documents that was on the Wilmington Star New until this morning when it was deleted. Unpaid taxes, default on loan, transferring other property, and the list goes on. The forum discussion was 7 pages long when deleted. You may think it's a cheapshot but look for further investigation on this one. Those folks on the forum are pretty hot and plan to get to the bottom of all this.

gregbarnes — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:24:27 -0400

This is cheapshot by the N&O! Didn't I read that the property wasn't even in Boseman's name? That headline is misleading, and the entire piece is bad journalism. I am appalled.

This is not news. Not in any way shape or form is this relevant to the state of north carolina or its politics.
