Just think about those words alone.....
Burr needs to be Cantorized.
While we’re talking North Carolina, Renee Elmers needs to be Cantorized as well. She has been voting against the citizens and the rule of law also.
Every one of the weasels who work for The Cheap Labor Express instead of the citizens needs to be Cantorized.
Club for Growth is not on our side, they are on board The Cheap Labor Express. They will back Burr.
Wish we had someone to primary Toomey in PA!
He also voted to homosexualize the military.
Brannon is a political newbie who almost made it his first timeout. I’ll be happy to back him this time as well, as he talks the talk and from what I see he walks the walk...
This is idiocy.
Burr had an 88% ACU rating.
Here are his positions:
Fiscal/monetary/financial
Burr voted against the financial reform bill Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank). In the June 26 debate, he stated: “I fear we’re headed down a path that will be too overburdensome, too duplicative, it will raise the cost of credit ... The balance that we’ve got to have is more focus on the products that we didn’t regulate ... more so than government playing a bigger role with a stronger hand”.
In fall 2008, during that year’s financial crisis, Burr described his response to problems in the U.S. financial system: “On Friday night, I called my wife and I said, ‘Brooke, I am not coming home this weekend. I will call you on Monday. Tonight, I want you to go to the ATM machine, and I want you to draw out everything it will let you take. And I want you to go tomorrow, and I want you to go Sunday.’ I was convinced on Friday night that if you put a plastic card in an ATM machine the last thing you were going to get was cash.”[26] This statement attracted attention from the national press when an April 2009 story in the News and Observer made it more widely known.[27] In late April, Burr told WFAE, a public radio station in North Carolina, “Absolutely I’d do it [again].” He said that “The exact situation we were faced with was a freeze bank to bank. And as I stated, my attempt was to make sure my wife had enough cash at home to make it through the next week.” Burr also said that “It was not an attempt to run a bank,” and “Nor was it a bank that was even considered then or now to be in trouble.”[28]
Burr is a signatory of the “Taxpayer Protection Pledge”.[29]
In 2013, Burr criticized some of his Republican colleagues in the Senate, who were filibustering the passage of the fiscal year 2014 federal budget in an effort to defund the Affordable Care Act. In a tweet, he called their strategy “the height of hypocrisy”.[30]
Gun rights
Burr supports Second Amendment gun rights and voted against the 2013 legislation which would have extended background checks to internet and gun show weapons purchases.[31] He has sponsored legislation to stop the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs from adding the names of veterans to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) if the department has assigned a financial fiduciary to take care of their finances due to mental incompetence, unless a judge or magistrate deems them to be a danger. Persons added to the NICS system are barred from purchasing or owning a firearm in the United States.[32]
Social issues
Burr’s personal belief is that marriage is between a man and a woman, however, he believes that the law should be left to the states.[41]
Senator Burr is a vocal opponent of President Obama’s healthcare reform bill, claiming that the President’s health care proposal ignored the demands of the American people and will result in a Government takeover of individual healthcare decisions, increased taxes, and rationed care.[58] Critics note that he was ranked second[59] for senators to receive contributions to their campaign committees and leadership PACs between January and September from health and accident insurers and ranked first for funding from pharmaceuticals companies.[59] Burr voted against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in December 2009,[60] and he voted against the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.[61]
So, let’s take a pro-2d Amendment, anti-Obama-Care Senator with an 88% Conservative voting record, replace him in the General with some unknown, so a Dem can be elected in the General Election?????
We eat our young.
