I wonder who would vote more conservative, Jones or Griffith? Somebody who voted against John Boehner or somebody who used to work for John McCain? Hmmmm?
Don’t let that fool you….Jones is bad news and is not a tea party guy by any means. Voted with Obama more than most Republicans. A 75 heritage and 84 ACU averge is awful for eastern NC.
Griffin is far more conservatvie than either McCain or any of the Bushes……he would be far more Tea Party. Jones is just an SOB contrarian….no one likes him, GOPe OR Tea Party types.
“Challenger: Former Bush administration aide”
But of course.
“Teddy” MeCain, won’t be happy until he gets his Amnesty passed for his dead buddy Ted.
Why is the Repbulican Party in NC in such dire straits that they have to choose between someone “quirky” and an imported John McLame supporter? Perhaps it’s just as well they lose this seat to the Democrats and let more able states elect genuine conservatives.
His being on the outs with Boehner is virtually unknown, and so is the Speaker, in NC-3 - even the latest NC-3.
On the other hand, Walter Jones and Walter Jones, Jr. have name ID across the whole region and three generations.
It sounds like this young "consultant" was talked into hiring folks he thought were "friends" and talked into running against Walter (who is particularly disliked by the Speaker's cohort), and these "friends" of his, the young consultant's consultants, will get paid regardless of the outcome.
Freepers, we really MUST be praying for these primaries. While many of us can no longer financially do much to help, we can pray that against all odds, our Lord will bring a true “winner” through, a champion for the people and the US Constitution. Prayer does change things, so let’s not forget this.
