Why thank you, Mr. Hatteras. I'm so glad us'ns got someones lahk you to educash us pour dum konservatives!!
Tell me something slick. If we elect a group of politicians that are willing to sell out their base just to gain votes how much can we trust them when they get in? Secondly, if we continue to elect these 'brave and cunning' Republicans that are willing to sell out their base to get elected, what type of candidates will the RNC continue to foist upon us and what type of legislation is going to get passed by a bunch of feelgood RINOs. What? Are they suddenly going to gain heart when they step into those hallowed halls, forget the lies they've been pushing for over a year, and 'do the right thing'? I've lived in this state my entire life and I have seen it go straight to hell. I love this state first and foremost, even over the government in Washington. Elizabeth Dole will win the seat, you've got that beyond a shadow of a doubt. But if you believe that she cares anything about NC values or even knows anything about them, you're fooling yourself
Respectfully billbears, I don't look at fellow North Carolinians as a bunch of brain-dead hicks. As a matter of fact, I have a greater respect for the wisdom of North Carolinians more so than any others. I can't help it, that's the way I was born. So you can take that bullcrap somewhere else.
The fact is that, like it or not, the political system is a two party system and those that feel they will "send a message" by voting Libertarian or, God help them, Democrat are a glutton for punishment. If you are in the camp that figures you will advance your causes further with Erskin Bowles than with Elizabeth Dole than by all means, give up Jesse's seat to a Clinton Crony Liberal Democrat.
