Congress 2008
We got information from prisoners the old fashioned way.
Submitted by Leslie H on Mon, 10/08/2007 - 12:16pm.If you've ever heard rumors of what interrogators have done in the name of American Security in the past, or wondered if Tom Clancy knew things you didn't know, this is going to shock you. Seriously. The Washington Post ran an in depth story on the Nuremberg interrogators this weekend.
No, it' s not what you think. No, we haven't always done this stuff. Yes, we have been lied to. Yes, we can be better than we are now. And without a doubt, surely it is true that the worst among us have risen to rule over us.
But keep praying ... the lights are coming on and their weaknesses are showing.
Cruelty is the tool of a weak mind.
Violence is the tool of a fearful mind.
Fear is the tactic of an empty argument.
Army Of Mumpower Isn't Like You
Submitted by Gordon Smith on Sun, 09/23/2007 - 9:39pm.Dr. Carl Mumpower is running for the Republican nomination in the 11th District, currently held by Heath Shuler.
Our Carl sat down for an interview with Waynesville's paper of record, the Mountaineer. Dr. Mumpower, a straight shooter, tells us exactly why no one with any sense would elect him to represent us in Congress:

Dr. Carl Mumpower, Asheville City Councilman and Army of One, declared himself a candidate for the Republican nomination for NC's 11th Congressional District. He's alone in the race right now, but it's likely that he'll have a corrupt, lumpy opponent in disgraced former Congressman Charles H. Taylor.
AC-T: "In a news release, Mumpower said he is committed to what he defines as “essential issues” as the foundation of his “principles over politics” approach to public service.
Looks Like Charles Taylor is Running
Submitted by Gordon Smith on Tue, 08/28/2007 - 10:16am."District Attorney Jeff Hunt said today he will not seek the Republican nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler in the 11th congressional district." - BlueRidgeNow.com
Jeff Hunt was gung ho to run when we met him in the spring though he was waiting on disgraced former Congressman Charles Taylor to bow out first. Hunt's announcement yesterday coupled with Taylor's coy non-answers to the Henderson County Republican Men's Club make it look like we're going to have to endure another season of Taylor's poorly produced smear ads and outright lies.
The rumor mill says that Tom Apodaca won't run because his wife is reluctant. Carl Mumpower could give it a shot, but you've seen how well Asheville candidates do out in the hinterlands.
Hunt really wanted to run.
Charles Taylor... Are ya sure, Charles? Are you sure? Because you're looking at a 61-39 loss this time unless you have photographs of Heath having group sex with Cindy Sheehan, Al Sharpton, and Larry Craig. You're going to put yourself through the wringer, further blackening your karma, having to deal with agitators - For what?
