Will Lewis be bringing union purple shirts to beat up conservatives?

Sounds like the fearless Burr is SCARED to debate?
What a sorry excuse for a senator. Better than Dole, but very bad.

leave it to a democrackkk to criticize one individual's OWN personal pleasure behavior like a little dip of snuff...WHY do democrackkks ALWAYS SEEK to CONTROL our lives?

looks like the democrackkk spin machine has cranked up over such silliness...if Lewis doesnt understand the fairness of having the others in his party there to participate, then maybe he's just all about him? hmmm...nah, he's a loiwyer, he wouldnt think that way...

"He won't face his constituents"

He'll be on UNC-TV tomorrow night with Price, Watt, Miller and Etheridge, taking phone calls. He was at an event a week ago with Kissell and a couple of Obama's official government minions. Sounds like a man who's deathly afraid to me.

But you keep repeating the talking point of an unknown candidate desperately looking for any excuse to send out a fundraiser e-mail. Heck, with you and him working that angle together, I'm sure Lewis will be able to rake in a cool two hundred bucks!

"Burr now says he's scared"

Agreed. But what do we do about it? He won't face his constituents, much less his opponent. Why is Burr scared?

Any idea cmitchz?

"Burr now says he's scared"

LOL. Yeah, you can definitely get that from the article.

Burr wants to face ALL of the Democrats at once, but all but one apparently refused to attend, so he must be scared to face just one of them. That makes a lot of sense. Perhaps it's all of the no-showing Democrats who are scared of little ol' Richard Burr, except for one nobody for whom this event is probably the only way to make a name for himself?

Lewis IS the only Democratic candidate

That much, at least, is clear.

Kenneth Lewis wins first debate with Richard Burr

Burr now says he's scared after first agreeing to show his face in North Carolina. Burr just lost the first debate he once agreed to on Healthcare by chickening out to come to NC.

What happened? Is Kenneth Lewis too scary or just too representative of real NC voters - including the black ones that voted for President Obama and Healthcare reform?

Come on Richard....you can do it. Show your face in NC. Just like Liddy didn't. You appeal to black voters too. Come on. Let's get them out Dick!

I'll slander anyone that deserves it.

Oh, then it's not slander is it?

I said Richard Burr did what?

Gigglebox and I have had a conversation over e-mail today. It is my hope that the level of comments improve. BN

BN, is it time to ban gigglebox? His comments are bordering on slanderous.

I'm sorry if I'm slow to delete you inappropriate posts, Gigglebox. I was busy trying to produce some journalism. BN
