Mr Johnson is dealing with Karma!! I know his family!!! From what I can tell, it seems that everything is coming around in a full circle and biting him in the ass!! He has stated, ooohh sooo many lies! If you all only knew!!! I tell you, it's Karma! He uses a lot of bibical scriptures but does not practice what he writes or what comes out of his mouth. He is not able to hide behind the bible anymore. Keeping a close eye on the "saga".

neo_mom , you are funny, I hear Charlie Goodnights has an amateur night occasionally. You right wingers are always funny. I think the funniest thing on radio, now is Rush>>>He is a riot all that horse manure he spews everyday. Mark Levine is 2nd and Glen Beck is 3rd in the laugh-o-meter.

Joe gummint worker - blah blah blah blah

I'd take a look at the fractures starting to show in your party right now as well. Seems not all is well in unicorn and lollipop land. Obama promised everything to everybody and now isn't giving anything to anybody. If it weren't so tragic for the country, I would enjoy getting out the popcorn and watching.

Side question to the administrators here.... Why do all the threads about RC Soles keep disappearing - including one from yesterday?

I think its great that you guys can't get your act together. The neo-cons have split you guys into so many factions because the neo-cons are trying to purge the party of anyone who doesn't march lock step with them. Fascism at its finest. read the link below and go take a look in the mirror. Yes, its an old article and yes I know you will deny the contents are about the right but its YOU BABY, ITS YOU!!!!

No reason to be surprised since NC GOP know he had a previous assult conviction, and that his so called Doctorate is from a diploma mill.

...well...if the NCGOP wants to dump him, then go ahead and do it. While you're at it, replace Fetzer also. His leadership is weak.

I am a Republican & conservative and I do not care what color someone may be if he/she is willing to serve and help defeat the liberal Democarats. Color should not be an issue. There are many real issues that need to be addressed such as higher taxes, more spending, higher deficits and I could go on and on. The people of N.C. need to find a way to defeat the eastern N.C. Democrats and take of the N.C. General Assembly and especially the governors office from this moron who is in there currently. Let's stop playing childish games about race and arguing like teenagers and get down to defeating the democarats and get N.C. into the 21st century. Has anyone ever noticed that we can go south to S.C. or north to Va. and buy gas cheaper because of lower taxes. What does that tell you?

Grow up people.

This is yet another chapter in the saga with "Dr" Tim Johnson. His repugnant actions since being elected as Vice Chair have focused on his own political advancement, not to the benefit of the NCGOP. Mrs. Renfer is one of the most qualified and professional political operatives in NC politics today. I have no reason to question her accounting of the confrontation. Despite his background, many in the GOP were willing to give him a chance to prove himself on a state level. Perhaps the day will come when the NCGOP Exec Comm get to revisit that decision. Hopefully, that day will be sooner rather than later.

Even if Johnson is not "included", he is being "used".

Okay, regardless of whether his exclusion is real or imagined, or whether there are issues of race that need to be dealt with, his use of a "protracted handshake" with a female is beyond inappropriate.

Forgetting for a moment the physiological differences between male and female, when you use body language or actual physical contact to intimidate another person with whom you disagree, you're not only "implying" violence, you're actually engaging in it. Whatever point you're trying to make and whatever "just cause" you had is lost, maybe irretrievably.

Back to the male/female thing. This type of behavior is not rare or odd, it's all too common. Something like 1 in 4 females will suffer physical and/or sexual assault at the hands of a male before they reach middle-age, and the vast majority of those assaults come from men they know. It's a good bet some of the females reading this have experienced it, and possibly a few of the males reading this have done it. It's not okay, and it's not alright, and apologies mean nothing if this girl is going to flinch the next time some guy wants to shake her hand. Sometimes "little things" like this have long-term consequences, and usually the wrong person suffers those consequences.

Tim Johnson and Michael Steele are two of a kind. Token blacks.

I know they endorsed a Republican for Water and Soil Conservation District Supervisor last election, but I don't remember who their other endorsements were.

Also, why the hatred at the Independent. You would figure the Republicans would want to know where this man got his PhD. and if it is a legitimate PhD.

Then again, I thought they would care about him being a wife-beater. Turns out they didn't.
