Richard Burr's press release machine

I'm sure you are right. Once again it will prove Dome's point and make all those posters that said otherwise wrong.

If we know ANYTHING about Richard Burr (which we don't) it's that he's one straight shooter, just like Jesse Helms!

(Also not going to get re-elected).

In the poor man's defense, I will point out that most of the Senate site appears to be down. It will be interesting to see if his archive remains the same after whatever is wrong is fixed.

...and Hagan said she'd 'let us know when she gets there' ...

Beware Hagan and the UNIONS.

UNIONS BROKE Detroit and Michigan.

"The media's influence on this election has been well noted and a few will make a plenty penny publishing a research novel based on this notion."

Practically every major print media outlet in North Carolina endorsed the Republican for Governor because they knew if they did, everyone would vote for the Democrat instead which is what those reverse-psychology minors with their fancy journalism degrees wanted all along.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence though that such a technical glitch would occur after Dome links to the black and white documentation of the pre and post election disparity in Burr's 'chattiness' level being reported here.

I agree with lpetrou...

I think with the campaign season concluded, nothing really happening during the holiday season and national trends showing a large number of newspaper laying off workers, Under the Dome figure they better publish anything and everything concerning politics.

It was extremely noticeable the inability of the N&O to publish press releases on both sides on important issue stances in the 2008 election. The media's influence on this election has been well noted and a few will make a plenty penny publishing a research novel based on this notion.

As for GABE, please show documentation of your accusation. Otherwise Sen. Burr should sue you for defamation and vicious personal attacks. Also, Gabe have you reasoned with the notion, in your obviously black hole of a brain, that Richard Burr was elected in 2004. Come 2006, the Democrats controlled Congress; therefore,controlling the legislation presented, the rules of the chambers, so forth and so on (hints Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi). Any opposition to a bill presented by the controlling party, Democrats, would be inherently perceived as supporting by Bush(since he is of the opposite party), regardless of the merits of the bill in question. Admittedly, President Bush did not always present the best legislation, Democrats still voted in support, but it is discernibly irrational to claim that a Republican, whom votes against a bill presented by the Democrats, is a Bush rubber stamp. Until you look at the merits of bills passed in the Senate to comprise your little "percentage rant," please refrain from showing your inability to rationalize.

Burr once said that he agreed with George Bush on 95 percent of the issues. No way he survives reelection. Just another Bush/Cheney rubberstamp

Big difference in an average of 7 vacuous emissions of equal praise and pork a month over the years versus 7 insipid discharges in one week following the statewide clarion call to throw all the do-nothing Republican bums out.

Senator Burr has always sent out press releases on various issues; could it be that you are now paying attention?
