Pins and Needles

This last week and a half has been crazy. Trying to move forward but unsure how to proceed. Less than 24 hours before the North Carolina 5th District Democratic Convention and victory is awaiting a handful of provisional ballots from Forsyth County ...

No Child Left Behind... unless they drop out.

"We need someone in Congress who puts education, educators, and children first. We need someone who will stand up for those voiceless interests rather than appealing to a blind allegiance to the White House’s misguided priorities in educational policy. Who better to stand up for education than a lifelong educator like Roy Carter?"
---Tripp Jeffers, President of the Forsyth County Association of Educators and member of the North Carolina Association of Educators Governmental Relations Commission

Enough Said.

Why are the most obvious answers the ones that elude us the most?

I don't know if this has been posted here before or not, I just saw it myself for the first time and am a little... I'd say disgusted, but I think 'moved to action' is a little more appropriate.

Foxx on Health Care

Foxx replied as she often does, throwing numbers into an equation attempting to validate her stances and to justify her voting record.

Frontpaged, though the title might be better phrased "Foxx on Not Health Care." Thanks for staying up late to write this.

Democrats and Socialists As Defined By Virgina Foxx

“To me the bigger question is not about liberalism or conservatism; it’s about doing the right thing for the people…” Roy J. Carter, Challenger NC-05

The above quote is in direct response to Virginia Foxx’s question: “I guess that means that he’s supporting them, (Sens. Clinton and Obama), Does it mean that’s he’s supporting the most liberal person in the Senate and the sixteenth most liberal person in the Senate? Is he throwing his hat in the ring with them?”

Thanks, LoftT. This is hilarious.


TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
