SO. Whatcha’ doin’ on Tuesday?
If you’re a fan of this site, and haven’t yet voted, you BETTER MAKE TRACKS TO THE POLLS. If you have friends who haven’t voted, drag them along.
We’v got TWO congressional seats — the Third and Ninth — that have been in GOP hands for more than a quarter century — that stand a good chance of going over to the (D)ark side.
I hear both major parties in both districts are lawyering up in anticipation of the final vote tallies.
The Third: I’ve actually heard grumbling from the right about GOP nominee Greg Murphy. Some folks have floated the idea of (1) voting Libertarian, (2) voting Constitution, or (3) staying home. Take any of those three options, and you’re looking at congressman Allen Thomas.
So, Mike Speciale, or whomever you wanted, didn’t make it through the primary. The ideological battles are slugged out in primaries.
The primaries are over. You have Republican Murphy, Democrat Thomas, and two minor party guys who CAN’T WIN.
Murphy has pledged to hang out with Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan. That puts him to the right of the late Walter Jones. What more do you want?
Thomas is a frat boy who never grew up. He’s been a tax deadbeat with Greenville and Pitt County. He’s partied with Beyonce in Dubai on the taxpayer dime. He’s disrupted operations at Harris-Teeter and bowed down toward Mecca.
Let’s not forget that his stewardship of the Global Transpark was slapped with a nasty negative audit by fellow Democrat Beth Wood. He fiddled around in the Internet sweepstakes market while serving on the Greenville city council.
The Ninth: Dan McCready is much better financed — and smarter — than Allen Thomas. He had the full backing of the DC Democrat establishment in smearing a Baptist preacher as a crook and getting said preacher’s victory thrown out. The drive-by media looked on lovingly, while the Raleigh and DC GOP sat on their thumbs and just looked bewildered.
McCready has been running ads claiming 9-11 inspired him to drop what he was doing and enlist in the Marines. Actually, he waited five to six years after the planes hit the towers before enlisting. AND he only enlisted to honor his ROTC scholarship commitments — serving the bare minimum required by ROTC.
He took money from Muslim kook, and Democrat congress member, Ilhan Omar (D-MN.) The media had no problem with it. But this site, coupled with pressure from the Bishop campaign, finally forced him to give the money back. McCready is still holding on to cash from Hezbollah supporting, Soros-funded J Street.
McCready has attacked Bishop for being bought off by outsiders. But McCready’s report is littered with evidence of labor and cash from the gay rights movement, radical environmentalists, and the guts of the national progressive movement.
McCready’s company relies on state and federal tax breaks and subsidies to pass along to various other solar energy entities. He’s what we call a solar goon. It was discovered that his firm was investing in a firm that was outsourcing its production to a Chinese firm the Trump administration had deemed a “national security threat.”
(The census and redistricting are coming up soon. You KNOW incumbents have a lot of sway in redistricting.)
The international left is not going to let North Carolina go. They’re ready to lawyer up and throw down for as long as it takes. The real question is: Are we ready to fight back?
This commentary is absolutely correct. A vote for anyone but Murphy is a vote for Democrat Thomas. Ideological disagreements will get you a terrible choice in Thomas. The Constitutional Party candidate cannot win, so throwing your vote away to make a point will get you what you are asking for, and that is the Democrat who will not support ant of Trumps agenda, which should also be the agenda of most of us. If you did not yet vote, please do America a favor and get out and vote. There are NO acceptable excuses for not voting. May God Bles you all and this great country!
Very few people voted Third Party in either race. People know the score now.

Republicans not voting Republican, for any reason, this Tuesday is like being on the front line with the Socialist (Communist) rushing and being too chicken sh-t to pull the trigger.
There is only one result to be had in CD3, the election of Greg Murphy to Congress. His opponent is an opportunist who has failed in Greenville and Kinston, who has a habit of disappearing or leaving others holding the bag when the going gets tough, and should stay unemployed and away from public funds. Greg has devoted his life to service to others, in honest and ethical, and should be everyone’s choice to succeed Walter Jones in Congress. Please get to the poles on Tuesday and bring at least 5 like-minded patriots with you. Thanks.
I insert to my above, or CHILDISH to pull the trigger. Believe me, that factor exists. I’ve seen it in Dare.

In both NC congressional races this week, it will be interesting to see if Trump voters show up at the polls to vote for the GOP candidates. The NC GOP hasn’t really done much to earn their support and trust, but only the Trump voters can push the GOP over the finish line. If Murphy and Bishop do win, I hope they are not as politically timid as the rest of our congressional delegation.
Spot on, Mr. Mischka! We don’t need someone like Thomas in Congress. As you stated, he has already been a loser in Greenville, as the director of the Global Transpark in Kinston with a failed audit under his belt, as a slum lord, as a non-payer of Pitt County taxes, as a supposed Christian who prayed to Mecca at a Muslim event…..we don’t need a loser representing (or not representing) NC in DC. Get out and vote! Vote Republican to keep an unscrupulous Democrat from getting into office. He is out for himself only. He doesn’t give a hoot about us real people in ENC.
