Should there even be primary run offs? Why not a simple majority?

At some point we’ll just have to ask “Is this country even worth saving?”

Pitiful

American Idol sure has made a lot of successes. The Voice....NOTHING. lol. I haven’t watched American Idol in a few years, but it was a great show at the time I watched. It is amazing how two shows doing the same thing can have such success with their folks and another show can’t even get a fifth place winner any job not to mention a first place person. On Wednesday Kelly Pickler is going to be on Nashville a program on ABC that I don’t watch but I say good for Kelly. Kelly Clarkson was on “The Crazy Ones” a show on CBS that I do watch occasionally. The Voice????? Not a one.

When females vote, it's 'STYLE over SUBSTANCE' and America dies. There is only one way to save America but that would require an all-out physical gender war barely imaginable.

In other words, females excercise their power to destroy America but nothing can be done to stop them.

Doesn’t matter he won’t win the district, and frankly I don’t see how any conservative would wish even R. Ellmers to lose to this guy?? Please think before you wish to inflict this man upon MY state!~

We have passed that point. The real question is how we go about creating something better out of the ruins.

There’s a reason the Founders didn’t want women to vote.

Either of these Democrat candidates would, when in Washington, support the “progressive” agenda for Obama. The only choice for voters of any stripe who are pro-life, pro-founding principles, and anti-Obamacare is to vote for Ellmers. No Democrat is going to fight Obamacare and the abortion industry as long as Obama is in the White House. They would not be allowed to do so.

Already asking myself that.

BTW, I responded to this before seeing who posted it. How the heck are you, man? Long time no see.

That is totally crap. I’m female and I vote. Cruz has no real style, but he certainly has substance. Gowdy is about at mousy as they come, in style. Substance is triple A. Where do you get your data?

I assume this guy could be an asset for our side, pulling in national progressive ca$h in a losing effort, similar to Abortion Barbie in Texas, although it appears she’s so lame that the national Dems have already written her off.

Just what this country needs right now. Another homosexual celebrity on Capitol Hill. The low intelligence types should not be allowed to vote. They’re too stupid.

Hey man!!! It sure is nice to see you. I think of you now and then and wonder how you and the family are doing.

Don’t be a stranger. :)

Latest Poll Shows Women's Vote Will Deliver Obama Victory

November 5, 2012

A new USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday reveals female voters in critical swing states favor Barack Obama over Mitt Romney in Tuesday’s presidential election by 16 points. At 52% of the electorate, Democrats are enthusiastic that these XX-votes will all but deliver incumbent Obama a second term in office.
