An open letter calling for the Investigation of Congressman Patrick McHenry

Submitted by Thoreau on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 11:18am.

Looks like it's time to jump on the bandwagon. Today, Mr. Ed Readling of Hickory (a Republican, but I won't hold it against him this time) wrote a letter to the Hickory Daily Record: McHenry needs to be investigated.

This is my open letter explaining why, and demanding that our Democrat representatives pick this charge up. The gerrymandered 10th district has the first opportunity in a long time to show the world why Congressman Patrick McHenry is a disgrace to the district- let's not screw this up.

See the fulltext to read the letter I will be sending to my local paper (and I encourage you to send to your local papers/TV stations/radio stations as well).

Andrew Mackie, Political Tool

It has recently come to my attention that not only is our beloved Hickory Daily Record as politically twisted as a tornado, but it's being led around on a leash by Andrew Mackie, a man who leaves more anti-McHenry Op Ed columns on the cutting room floor than nighties in the Playboy Mansion. Who said the press was neutral?

And Helms begat Reagan...


Arguably, Ronald Reagan's Helms enabled win in the 1976 NC primary was all the encouragement he needed to try again in 1980, setting the stage for the Reagan Revolution and synergistic escapades like this one...

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."
