Cunningham, once out, now in

I get it now, GB, you don't need to articulate a position because you purport to speak for people who are ANGRY. GRRRrrrr. You're SO upset with this unfair, imperfect world! Hate, hate, hate! Nobody lives up to your lofty, perfect ideals, do they? You're REAL, and everyone who disagrees with you makes you ANGRY cause they're not REAL, and any Dem who is more liberal or more conservative than you is FAKE cause you're REAL. Compromise, NEVER!!! Ishley's a tool; Paul's an a$$hat. In your perfect eyes, lots of people are MORONS. Anything different is the enemy, isn't it, GB?

Do you find that many people on here respond well to your approach? Not so much? Perhaps you think that there's a silent majority of readers just nodding their heads, thinking, "Thank goodness we have GB to so eloquently represent our perspective. I sure am glad someone as angry and irrational as GB takes the time to insult everybody else on Dome."

GB, I didn't realize how much influence I have over you. What strong convictions and independent thinking you must have in order to let me, a commenter on the Dome, determine how you vote! Most people compare the merits of a candidate, but not you...you have a different way of making up your mind, don't you? I appreciate your special feelings for me. Let me know if you have any particular questions that are bothering you, and I'll do my best to bring you up to speed.

Keep in mind that this blog has many more readers than commenters, and your refusal to develop any meaningful analysis--combined with your spoiled-brat nastiness--destroys your credibility. To a third party, which one of us comes across as more reasonable and more thoughtful?

the blueNC blog folks are staunch members of the party of SLAVERY which
ENSLAVEs us DAILY in the once great state of NC...

DONT EVER vote for another vile democrack EVER again!!! THey have RUINED our once great nation and continue to defile the citizens through government oppression!

WHY would ANYONE want to represent such a gang of CRIMINALS?

Thanks Smish.

I don't think describing someone as moderately progressive is any different than saying moderately conservative or moderately liberal.

Here's a clue. There's Moderate, Progressive and Conservative.

You can't have it all.

Go live blog on BlueNC about your super hybrid "moderate progressive" candidate if you don't believe me. And actually answer their questions about state sponsored anal sex and paying rent for tops and buying food for every loser in the country.

You're an idiot. And so is Cal for trying this "progressive" angle. Just be a Conservadem and win.

I'm getting really sick of helping you tards cashing these paychecks for being idiot consultants that couldn't win an upskirt contest in a hurricane.

Thank you SaintPinehurst.

As we all now know, it's a BS term to make James Protzman happy. Waveringham is a CONSERVATIVE to the right of anything we've seen since Jesse.

I do not care and will support him once he tells BlueNC to go to hell, but until that time THEY ARE IDIOTS.

I'm an NC Democrat, and I HATE "progressives" almost as much as I HATE BLUENC.

politicalzoonc, the question you ought to ask yourself is "Can you trust Richard Burr?"

Cal has clearly had second and third thoughts about running for the US Senate. I respect our public officials who are willing to take their time making tough decisions, like President Obama's thorough deliberations over sending additional troops. On the other hand, some officials seem to prefer the "maverick" or "gone rogue" approach, which I find disingenuous and reckless. The ability to re-evaluate and even reverse one's decisions in light of changed circumstances is a natural product of intelligence, wisdom, and pragmatism. Those are three traits I'm looking for in my next U.S. Senator.

And the hypocrisy goes on and on. Here's another not-too-distant comment from Cunningham about this race. I wonder what made him turn his back on his family convictions? I think politicians can be good at representing their constituents and good with their family but, Cal Cunningham sure doesn't:

"I also owe it to my family - before committing us to a hard year - to be a husband and father first. My family's willingness to support me in a Senate race is an expression of their love. This decision to put time with them first is an expression of mine. Here on the eve of Veteran's Day, I am reminded of the over 900 days our family has been separated because of active military service in the last few years. Today, I choose to be home."

Really? What changed? What has the DSCC promised Cal Cunningham to make him turn his back on such a well-reasoned and seemingly heartfelt statement? Does Cal Cunningham mean what he says? Can we trust Cal Cunningham?

GrayJ, his website appears to be just a shallow placeholder that doesn't go anywhere but democratsenators.org to contribute.

Don't worry. You aren't missing any suspected depth from candidate Cunningham.

Based on Cal Cunningham's record as a moderately progressive North Carolinian with a commitment to public service, in light of his leadership in Iraq and receipt of the Bronze Star, given his work on the NC Banking Commission, and due to his unmatched ability to connect with all sorts of voters, I am pleased that he is now a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Cal, and only Cal, can beat Richard Burr.

Burr is a special-interests puppet whose political philosophy comes from the big money, elitist, ultraconservative wing of the Republican Party. Burr willfully obstructs discussions on and solutions to some of our nation's most pressing problems.

Thanks to Cal, I'm now "fired up and ready to go!"

If I recall correctly, Burr was also chosen as a candidate by the other national party. Now that the Washington insiders have anointed their Chosen One as the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina, maybe the people of North Carolina aught to tell them where to go. Y'think.

Bad site name.

Was californication.org already taken by Edwards?
