Russian rule-out?

There's less freedom of speech in the North Carolina Senate than there is the Russian Duma.

— Robert Pittenger, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, arguing at a Raleigh rally on June 25, 2008, that the Senate's Democratic majority "ramrodded" the recent budget.

Heck I cannot get Blue out of his lavishly decorated law office to debate me. He does however have time to announce his unconditional endorsement of the most liberal in the US Senate for President. Tax and spend till he's Blue.

Quite a statement, considering that the Russian State Duma supports closing down TV stations and newspapers "which report negatively on high state officials:"

Was there in the Senate yesterday to observe...its an ULTRA controlled atmosphere with lots of 'deals' being nodded and winked...corruption works in the shadows...

Robert Pittenger had the decency to resign his Senate seat to run for Lt. Gov, UNLIKE his opponent Walter Dalton, Democrat.

Has Mr. Dalton challenged Pittenger to a series of public debates yet?
