I hope Bill wins, he is a good guy, a solid conservative, and a good Christian man.
IIRC, didn't D'Annunzio claim to be the "Tea Party" candidate, too?
If so, then he's a good example of why the Tea Parties need to start working more closely with other conservative organisations and with the conservatives in the GOP. Without organisation, they are just swinging out there at the mercy of any yahoo who wants to label his or herself the "Tea Party" candidate (e.g. Debra Medina, in TX).
Who, Hutchins? If so, then rightly so! The guy was a nut who, on his website, was making fun of Frank Roche's name, making jokes about BJ Lawson's sexuality (think about Lawson's initials), and was saying that Roche and Lawson were gay lovers.
Good analysis of NC races. You asked: “Is it a good sign that Kissell and Shuler pulled only 63% and 62% in their primaries, respectively?”
The answer is YES! Kissell is low hanging fruit. Shuler will be tougher to beat but with the right candidate it can be done.
DAnnunzio in North Carolina, one of 2 candidates who made the runoff. See post 110. Guy is bad news.
“I hope Bill wins, he is a good guy, a solid conservative, and a good Christian man.”
He may be Christian, but he’s not good, IMO. Listen, I’m no fan of Bernie Reeves, but when you scratch below Randall’s surface, you won’t like what you see.
Why do you say that?
I met his former campaign manager last night, and got an earful.
In addition, there’s something that just doesn’t strike me right about him. To my knowledge, he doesn’t own a house in the district; he just rents. He ran for Congress in 2002 in Florida. He ran for NC GOP party chairman and lost to Tom Fetzer. Seems to be a bit of the perennial candidate.
It’s a combination of a number of things that makes me uncomfortable.
I interviewed Bill Randall last year during the race for NCGOP Chairman, and he struck me as being very serious and quite conservative. Don’t know much else about him, as I don’t like in his district, but that’s where I get my positive impression of him from.
Fair enough.
I was kind of hoping Mackey would hold on, just so we could pull off a miracle in that district in November! :)
Where we really dodged a bullet was with the defeat of Mackey’s lackey (rhyme unintended!) Antoine Ensley by incumbent Sheriff Chipp Bailey in the Dem primary.
He also had the most garish website I’ve ever seen for a candidate.
But hey, at least he didn’t try to assault a state Rep like D’Annunzio did!
What a shame such a dishonest person came out on top! Guess it proves once again that a lot of people take a candidates’ word, rather than research the real person. Brad Miller will rip him to shreds in November, should he win the runoff. Anyone who has 5 campaign managers, 3 treasurers, etc., doesn’t sound much like a leader to me and anyone who is almost $75,000 in debt, after having raised only $32,000 doesn’t appear to be a fiscal conservative either. You cannot trust a person who lies and won’t pay his bills.
Randall doesn't stand a chance against Brad Miller. When Brad brings out all the junk about randall that the republicans refuse to do, he will be ruined and have to move to yet another state and run for yet office.
Randall has embellished his resume, has lived in 3 states in the past 7 or 8 years, voted in FL in 2008 while a resident of NC, didn't bother to vote in WI in 2004, although he registered there in 2003, but voted in 2005 when he decided to run for office. Has had telephones in each state he lived in, yet never one in his name, but various men's names. Doesn't pay his bills, is in debt over $75,000 and has only raised $32,000 as of April 14, 2010 and has been running for 9 1/2 months./
Is on his 5th campaign manager, 3rd treasurer, etc., plus others leave his campaign when they learn the truth about him. He's peddling a book on his FB or website page. Last time he did this before I asked him to stop, he was raising the money to put into his own pocket and a lot of the people buying it thought he was raising money for the campaign. He's now using his position and new "friends" to bring the book back out, to line his pockets, which is EXACTLY why he wants to go to Washington. He doesn't want to be anywhere unless he knows there's a microphone or tv camera there.
Would a good Christian man allow his campaign staff to drink moonshine whiskey on church property as he passed back and forth....SEEING it and do nothing about it?
Would a good Christian or a good conservative buy himself clothes from campaign contributions, reimburse himself for them and then report it on his FEC report as MILEAGE, while not paying his other bills?
See another post I wrote giving more detail about him. All can be backed up with facts, figures and witnesses.
Amen branch 15 and not a good Christian either. Christians shouldn't lie and cheat others, nor watch his campaign workers drink moonshine whiskey on church grounds.
