Liddy Dole is an idiot. She forgot that the airlines fly from Washington to both Raleigh-Durhama and Charlotte. She also forgot that you can get to North Carolina by driving south on I-95. In fact, she forgot that North Carolina exists. All of her Washington friends had never heard of it.
For a couple years our county GOP kept asking her to come help us with a fundraiser, she always declined, too busy, other committments.
This year she had the audacity to ask us to give her money for her campaign. We didn’t have much, (Thanks so much Liddy!)so made the decision to give what we had to local races where we thought it might have more impact.
She was never in the state. Some of the people in her office were down right nasty. When I called about offshore drilling, the guy who answered the phone literally started to scream at me, “YOU MEAN YOU WANT IT IN OUR BACKYARD?” I was very calm and replied “it has to be in someone’s so it might as well be ours then we get the oil and the revenue”. He slammed the phone down in my ear. I voted for her, because I did not want Kay Hagan but I was not enthusiastic. Wonder if we’ll ever see her in NC again when she’s not Senator? We didn’t see her much when she was.
