Re: Price has $218,000

More importantly....check the monies that were received by Price within a few days before he voted on a piece of legislation. Money pours in days before and after a vote....and this is common and legal practice among all politicians....BUT.....it shows you who Congress really work for....not us, not the companies supporting them....but for themselves with the main motive of getting re-elected. Really....it's all about holding on to that position as long as possible.

Paul, as I said, Price has $218,000 from folks like farmers, tractor manufacturers and military contractors? Your problem with that? Oh...

You changed the subject from your original question to what? How you've lived off the government for years and are mad Price is helping you do so?

You welfare queen bootstrap types that have no problem going to the VA but don't want the rest of us to have healthcare like you AMAZE us all.

I'm a moderate. And you are?

So giggle, no comment on the $10 million being spent at UNC-Chapell Hill to give six figure jobs to his friends. Everything seems personal to you. You cannot miss a chance for a personal slur. Keep it up so we can all see a true liberal progressive in action.

Could you post what PAC's are paying off Price?

Thankfully, that's already been compiled for you bootstrap types at fec.gov.

But I understand if you'd like Ben to call and read it to you.

I'll get you started though. I actually know how to look things up and read.

Wow, looks like the usual commies. CropScience PAC, John Deere PAC, and the Lockheed Martin Employees' PAC are prominent.

Why do you think farmers, tractor manufacturers and military contractors hate America so much Paul? Do they just not watch Glen Beck?

Looks like Price cannot say he is not in the pockets of the special interest. Could you post what PAC's are paying off Price? You have sttaed that Burr gets money from Insurance company PACS and executives. So who is Price getting paid by?

And please do not forget that $10,000,000 program that is supposed to help GI's from our wars but does nothing but pay many people 6 figure salries, all finance by pork from PRICE!

being aveteran myself I find Price to be both despicable and low when it comes to his self promoting at the expense of both taxpayers and veterans.

Why has the story about the fired employee from the state treasure's office making $340,000 a year plus perhaps another $50,000 in bonuses been ignored by the N&O? Her salary was doubled by Richard Moore in one year. This seems much more corrupt than Mary Easley's salary!

It is clear that Mr. Price's interest does not align with the taxpayer's he represents. He is more than willing to fund his pet projects with taxpayer money as well as fund unscrupulous programs, such as ACORN,at his constituents expense.
I know how I will vote in 2010....

And once again - another story of irresponsible oversight.

Re: Roche questions spending

PaulTerrell — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:47:15 -0400

Congressman Price-(Democrat) voted to continue funding of ACORN. You know that group that is under many different investigations. And that includes more than a couple employees telling someone how to set up brothels and IRS tax avoidance. The old saying of finding one but know 15 more are out there should put us all on alert.

Good luck, Frank Roche! Too bad the NCGOP has been so pessimistic - but 2010 is looking better all the time.

Just ignore the obvious paid political hacks - if you weren't a serious threat, they'd ignore you.

'Plain Spoken Frank' to bring fresh air to NCGOP

Frank Roche, said he is tired of watching U.S. Rep. David Price coast to easy election victories.

But he just got here! Though I do see the former Vice President of French bank Societe Generale's point about why it's time for a change.

Faced with a technological paradigm shift taking place in the foreign exchange market, with significant negative impact on earnings potential, in July 2007 I left my job as Vice President of Foreign Exchange Trading, sold my Manhattan residence and moved to what I now call home.

Apex! Keep your eye on the Downtown Apex Webcam to see Frank waiting outside the feedstore for a YellowCab.

Welcome to North Carolina Frank, and keep the "plain talk" about technological paradigm shifts a'comin'. You'll fit in with the NCGOP just fine.

Price does not have Obama's popularity anymore and it is now a easier race to win. I know how Lawson and Roche may feel about the good luck from the state Republicans. Let's hope the GOP leadership wises up and actually tries to win some of these races.

Atleast in my race there may be a primary by the Democrats and a run against Rosa Gill will only be fun. Nothing like running against a appointed candidate who split her party executive committee vote to win by one. With the tide so much against the socialistic nature of the Democratic party we all have a chance to win.

I wish this guy the best! I will absolutely see what he has to say in terms of certain issues and vote for him IF what he wants to do is in line with what I think is right.

He has only been here 2 years so he hasn't had much time to be tainted by the politics as usual but I'm sure by the time elections are being done he will.

I hate unopposed races, no matter who the incumbent is. I wish this guy the best of luck (though, y'know, not in actually winning). Our democracy should always allow a choice for the people...

Never say never. With a little hard work, even David Price might one day have to get a job that he's actually qualified for.
