US House of Representatives

This is a cross-post from Bloviations and is the first in a series of posts examining 2008 Primary Elections in Onslow County.

Primary 2008 over and all that’s left is to clear the battlefields of the dead and wounded. For North Carolina’s 3rd Congressional District, that means sweeping away Democrat Marshall Adame and Republican Joe McLaughlin.

Craig Weber defeated Marshall Adame by nearly 30,000 votes (or 39% of votes cast).

A while back we had a conversation in which you said the difficult issue of impeachment would get in the way of Congress tackling more important issues. I took you at your word. So today, I was more than a little surprised to find this important issue dominating discussion in the supposedly Democratic-controlled House of Representatives.

I was happy to see that you voted against the absurd bill, so thank you for that. But as to your caution about the "distraction" of impeachment, I must say, I ain't buying it any more. The Democratic leadership in the House has lost me and my wallet completely.
