Hagan's country club troubles

What I find most interesting is that it apparently doesn't occur to anyone in the Fourth Estate, and certainly not to the liberal intelligentsia (or the rest of the Left, for that matter), to make the connection that Democrats have controlled both houses of Congress for the last two years. Dole on the banking committee? Really? What about Barney Frank - the chairman - who told us that Fannie and Freddie were fine, and could make subprime loans? Scandals? Hagan's coming from one of the most scandal-laden state legislatures in a quarter-century, all Democrat, of course. But you want to blame Dole? Can that level of density be obtained naturally, or does it require an implant?

Private country clubs and their membership should not be a subject of discussion in no newspaper! And especially Southern Country Clubs. Country clubs in the south hold a special place in our hearts……..sacred land…. hallowed ground…..private ground where a man can have some secrets. Private country clubs are no worse than driving a Mercedes or wearing JC Penny suits. You do it just so you can throw off on us who can’t afford living the “big-baller, shot-caller” lifestyle.

If these politicians who have been caught having extramarital affairs had conducted their “business” on private country club land then it would not have been exposed. It would not even be considered wrong as private country clubs are places which are 'free of sin.' Our Men’s Golf Association has a motto for our Myrtle Beach golf trips: “What happens below the Cape Fear stays here.”

If you are leading a bad life and walking in the way of sin……..then you might consider serving a term on the board of directors of a private country club. It will be good training if you happen to die and go to the bad place. When you cross the River Styx, the gatekeeper of Hades has been known to say, “Welcome to the Chapel Hill Country Club.”

I haven’t gotten as far as the desegregation issue yet. I’m still mad they let women in.

Hey, last I checked, that fossilized piece of donkey dung, Robert Byrd, AKA, KKK-Byrd was still an 'esteemed' Democrat member of that elite body of demo-do-gooders in Washington.

Interesting facts; although Byrd was a hatchet boy in the KKK, today he purports (lies) not to be a racist. Byrd is the only Senator to have voted AGAINST the nominations of BOTH Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas. Yep, I bet Hagan and hubby will fit right in.

I wonder if Byrd and Obama get along real well? I wonder if Obama would bring that antique, hate-filled sack of pleasantness around to his campaign rallies?

BTW, for those of you edjamakated in gubahment skools, T marshall was the first black supreme court justice. He was what most would call a liberal justice. Clarence Thomas, the second and only other African American on the court is what most people would call conservative. Hmm. And KKKByrd opposed both? Interesting. Must have been their... um... History class is over, back to name calling.

'Real Amerithing', you're a dunce. :-)

There is a old saying concerning government. Any law passed always has a good side and a bad side. No law passed has neither a good side nor a bad side.

Rather than call me a "dunce," prove to me that Elisabeth Dole actually did something on the banking committee, did not take lobbyist contributions from those she was trying to oversee, did not vote 90% with George Bush, actually spent some time in NC, etc? I suppose that is because you can't dispute these facts. So, you hurl insults in an attempt to intimidate. Well, we Democrats will not be intimidated by Repugnant-CANTs. After 8 years of failed Repug "leadership," our country is in major decline as an economic and military power. Our national security and economic prosperity depend critically on a meaningful change in leadership. The last time we had responsible financial leadership was under Clinton, who turned deficits to surpluses. So, I understand that this is very frustrating for Repugs, and that given their lack of ideas, they resort to name calling (dunce, socialist, whatever), lies, threats, intimidation (slashing tires, killing bears), etc. vote Hagan. Send Dole into her well-deserved retirement.

Two Americas, folks. dimocRAT elitists and the rest of us. Only an dunce could not see Hagan for the "good ole boy" network crook she really is.

Real issues are that Dole sat on the Senate banking committee, and said NOTHING as this financial crisis was created and unfolded under her watch. Talk about asleep at the switch. However, she used her committee role to promote fundraising from the industry she was supposed to oversee. As a Washington insider, it is clear that Dole knows how to make a few bucks from lobbyists. However, she is no friend of North Carolina and is not representing us. We need a new senator with energy and vision. Time to vote Dole out and elect Hagan.

"Democrackkks in posh country clubs? I thought only evil republicans belonged to such places..."

WHATEVER...AS IF YOUR CHRISTIAN TALIBAN CHURCH ISN'T 'DE FACTO SEGREGATED,' LOSER.

Perhaps people should remember that our late senator Mr. Helms was a member of a country club that is still segregated.....

It is funny how since Hagan is a Democrat this this is a "non starter". If this was a Republican who had done this then all of the liberals would be screaming their heads off.

good thing the rnc chairman was not around when ol jesse was in the senate. does the absence of black republican member of the senate mean that dole should resign?

A non-starter? "Chip" Hagan chose to remain a member of a racially segregated club. No surprise, there, but neither should facts as they stand be swept under the rug.

The socialist agenda proponents in this country doesn't want to give up their priviledge, only yours.

Definitely a non-starter. Hagan should come out and say that the picture of her and Obama in the Democratic flyer was taken at the country club.

That would shut up those right wingers!

Democrackkks in posh country clubs? I thought only evil republicans belonged to such places...

The Hagans must be TOO RICH to be democrackkks, huh? ...

This is a non-starter. Let's move on.

Which proves the point --- the knife cuts both ways. Desperate is making her husband's inherited membership an issue now. Could it be because the RNC knows the poll numbers are not moving in their favor? Maybe they should spend less money on clothing a candidate and her family and more on trying to get clear messages on the issues out to voters.

Fhblack is getting pretty desperate-- why didn't Ted Kennedy or any other Democratic heroes also quit the Senate at that time? Kennedy was even friends with James Eastland, out-and-out racist.

The better question is, What would Democrats say if the tables had been reversed and Bob Dole had been a member of such a country club? I can only imagine what would be said, and it certainly would not be a justification of it such as fhblack gave before me in these comments.

So, I'll say what would surely be said if the situation was reversed: why doesn't Kay Hagan care about the common folk, and why does she stand for segregation in this day and age? She's willing to use African-Americans for her political ends, but when it comes to socializing with them, I guess she doesn't want to. Why wasn't she out in front of that club with a protest sign?

a typical problem for most Democrats...

One then is caused to wonder if Elizabeth Dole encouraged her new husband, Sen. Bob Dole (R, KS), to quit the US Senate after they got married in 1975 because of some of the shameful and despicable examples of racial discrimination that still existed in that chamber in the late 70s?
