Meet Roger Sharpe

The Roger Sharpe campaigns continues to move forward and gains ground everyday against Virginia Foxx's corporate funded campaign. Two more red country newspapers have written positive articles about Roger Sharpe.

Once again, Foxx is being called to the mat on her lying about her unreal level of corporate sponsorship.

From the Statesville Record and Landmark:

Foxx is a similarly effective fund raiser, although she dispels the notion that incumbents can sit back and wait for the money.

“It absolutely does not flow in,” she said. “I work very hard for the money that I raise; I make hundreds and hundreds of phone calls.”

The financial, insurance, real estate and business sectors have also been particularly responsive to Foxx, donating well over $200,000 to her campaign.
Retiree-related industries are Foxx’s largest contributor, giving $109,300. Her largest single entity donor is Reynolds American, which gave $13,250. Other notable contributors include Every Republican is Crucial PAC, Wachovia Corporation, Duke Energy and BellSouth Corporation.

To make matters worse for GOP sycophant Virginia Foxx, red country Elkin Tribune ENDORSED Roger Sharpe. This paper is in a small town surrounded by family farms filled with people barely getting by.

From the Elkin Tribune:

Two years ago, Virginia Foxx was sent to Congress in an election her party immediately claimed as a mandate for its agenda. Two years later the Republicans and Foxx have produced absolutely nothing, with all of that assumed political leverage, to reward this district for that choice.

We have a President and a Congress utterly incapable of admitting mistakes, and Foxx seems no more inclined to do so, either. Voters, the, should embrace the opportunity to admit an error made in 2004 and make Foxx's opponent, Roger Sharpe, their new voice in Congress.

There is NO FUCKING WAY the Foxx campaign can come back and claim the Elkin Tribune and its sister paper, the Yadkin Ripple as part of the elite liberal media.

Foxx got the beat down.

Pure and simple.
