RGA brings back Moore Web site

The Republican Governors Association has brought back a Web site attacking Beverly Perdue.

The site, "Which Beverly Is It?", was originally created by state Treasurer Richard Moore, who ran against Perdue in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

The site criticizes Perdue's positions on the death penalty, Smart Start, college tuition and wasteful spending. It also attacks Perdue as being too restrictive of abortion rights — an odd attack for the Republican group to recirculate.

"Richard Moore warned voters about the dangers of Bev Perdue," said RGA Communications Director Chris Schrimpf. "She's nothing more than a status quo politician who will do anything to get elected. She'll take money from disgraced supporters and skip debates to avoid the scrutiny of voters."

The Washington-based group is also promoting the new Web site — www.richardmooresays.com — using online ads.

Moore endorsed Perdue via e-mail in mid-July, 71 days after the primary.
