No profiles in courage for NCGOP in DC
North Carolina’s Republican Members of Congress have proved — once again — that keeping Speaker John Boehner happy is more important than looking out for the folks struggling through a wretched economy back home. On Wednesday, 48 Republican members of the US House joined…
Gov Bev OK with gay day in May?
In his ill-advised visit to UNC-Chapel Hill law school to defend the state legislature’s approval of a May referendum on a gay marriage prohibition amendment for the state constitution, House Majority Leader Skip Stam let an interesting little nugget slip out that is surely…
One MOORE entrant for the state senate GOP primary?
Stuff keeps coming in over the transom about the state senate seat being vacated by retiring Republican Harris Blake of Pinehurst. Recent redistricting moved Blake and Moore County from the current district to District 29, which includes Randolph County and is currently…
Pinehurst’s Cummings to pursue state Senate seat?
My spies within Raleigh political circles, and on the ground here in Moore County and throughout the Sandhills region, tell me retired physician Robin Cummings of Pinehurst is seriously eyeing the state Senate seat currently held by Senator Harris Blake (R-Pinehurst), who is retiring at…
Leftists demand a free lunch
We’ve got real good case study going on right now illustrating how disingenuous leftists and their comrades in the alleged Mainstream Media (MSM) can be when they are out to get someone. In today’s edition of our local paper here in Moore…
Stam goes into the belly of the beast, gets gnawed on
Seriously, Mr. Leader. What good did you think could come from going to Chapel Hill to defend the gay marriage ban constitutional amendment? Going over there was akin to a cat accepting a party invitation from a pack of pit bulls. It’s like trying to…
Hi Mom! Look at Me! I’m President!
OK. This screams “photoshop.” MSNBC — the chief stenographers for BarryO — posted this photo without commenting on its bizarre nature. (Some of the commenters on their web site spoke up.) Some sites expressed suspicion, believing they were being “punked” with a bogus…
Campaign 2011: PAC to influence Pinehurst elections?
I was trolling around recently on the Moore County Board of Elections web site. (I know — I lead a very exciting life.) One entry among the campaign report listings that caught my eye was “Village Action Team” — whose report shows it was formed in June…
If you talk the talk, you better walk the walk
I hate to say it, but I am leaning toward the N&O on this one. During the 2010 campaign, U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-Dunn) attacked her opponent, then-incumbent Bob Etheridge, for his use of taxpayer-funded mailings to constituents. The N&O is reporting that…
Attacking others’ success to distract from Barry-O’s failures
Has anyone else noticed the hard left turn of the Democrats’ rhetoric recently? They’re panicking. Their big government, redistributionist policies are pushing the country into a bigger, deeper economic mess. Many of the people who fell for Barry-O’s fancy footwork in 2008 are experiencing…
