Re: DSCC: We have lines of attack

Still not a majority there Gosh - same line you earlier...

Gosh - Who would you prefer being our US Senator, currently in the debate to run against Burr, that you think would do a better job than Burr...

Because I think your answer will indicate that you are nothing of a blind liberal on the federal level and a "moderate" on the state level, because your arguments are so inherently flawed that you can no longer defend the Democrats on the state level.

I hate to tell you, but North Carolina Democrats are only following suit on the national level, only North Carolina's Democrats get caught much more frequently...

Again, not defending the Republican party as I am not a Republican, I am a conservative, and yes I would enjoy to educate you as to the differences.

The Democrats are worried about attacking Richard Burr because they know their own defunct ideas cannot win. Hagan did not beat Dole, she beat Bush.

Those are national polls, not just North Carolina voters, and one isn't even about the stimulus. It just says America's "right track" polling has been steadily improving since Obama was elected. Did you even read it?

The one that actually is about the Stimulus, however, also says more still think it helped.

31% Say Stimulus Package Helped, 27% Say It Hurt Economy

And that poll includes Texas.

Listen, you got busted talking out of your Wranglers. No big deal. It's not the end of the world, just the false version of it you tried promoting in this thread.

Edited to add Wranglers. Apparently Levis only come in adult sizes.

Wow thanks for citing polls that are over three months old...

No, thank you for citing polls you can't produce.

Gosh - How much do you get paid to blog?

You pay me in giggles Citizen. You know that.

Perhaps a recent USA Today article would have captured the imagination better...

polls show that they will not gain much on the Stimulus package, budget resolution and Lilly Ledbetter is not a big deal - nothing short a fleece job.

What polls are those? I found these.

A majority of North Carolina residents support the federal economic stimulus package.

The latest Elon University Poll found that 52 percent of those surveyed support the stimulus package, while 39 percent disapprove of the package...

Update: A poll released earlier in the week by the Civitas Institute found that 50 percent of North Carolina voters support the stimulus package, while 36 percent are opposed to the package.

Plus the actual criticism will be Burr voted for Bush's Wall Street bailout, but not Obama's Main Street bailout. That's enough to make any reasonable person cringe.

Bob Menendez's minion

I hope the DSCC uses these attacks...

They might gain traction on the ATM statement, but polls show that they will not gain much on the Stimulus package, budget resolution and Lilly Ledbetter is not a big deal - nothing short a fleece job.

Bob Menendez is from New Jersey and is heading up the DSCC so there will be a great deal of money to attempt to buy the seat...although he is not doing well in convincing someone to run

I am sure the reason the Senate pool is for men only is so that when Teddy Kennedy is in the pool there won't be any "accidents" with the female members of the Senate.

Precious.

The Republican nominated "quote of the day" folks, is Kennedy is finally dead.

Maybe you guys can get a two-for-Tuesday if Byrd dies too. WOOHOO!

I did not want to get into Dole-bashing as a response, but if the men would not listen to her then maybe she should have spoken up more in the committee meetings. I like Dole, but I don't think that she prepared herself for these meetings and therefore had nothing to say. I go to town hall meetings and know the type. They just pick up the packet and skim through it ten minutes before the meeting. I don't think Hagan will be this way. She may not vote the way I like all the time, but she already seems much more engaged in her work than Dole was. The reason the Democrats got more money this time is because K Street hedged their bets toward the likely winners. My "research" came from the Wall Street Journal on that point.

By the way...this state has no clue what they voted for in Hagan...she failed to take a stance on countless issues and she told us that she would let us know when she got to DC...we could guess that she would be indebted to Schumer for about $21 million...and he is VERY LIBERAL.

She is beholden to the campaign promises she made and she voted NO on the bailout...political positive for the elections....yet as soon as she is not in a heated election and hopes that in 6 years people will forget this vote... We will not.

Re: Hagan: Discrimination still exists

CitizenOpinionated — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 23:15:23 -0500

Talk about the is just rhetoric...which party received more money from K-Street during the election? It was the Democrats.

Secondly her term just started a mere week ago and she has already changed her position on the bailout and co-sponsored a horrible piece of legislation. Hagan lied during her campaign and now will be a blank check for the Democrats...

By the way...Dole did work, but it is hard to do work when the Men's Club does not really value the opinion of a women...watch to see how Hagan handles the situation. She will be a puppet for Reid and Schumer like she was for Rand and Basnight.

These are just tirades of rhetoric...they are facts...do some research...

At least Hagan actually does work when she is elected. And as for the special interests, K Street is the Republican graveyard for elected officials and connected individuals. Why must we rehash these tired old attack pieces on Kay Hagan? I don't know her personally, but I can say that this state was ready for a good work ethic and more enthusiasm for the job.
