1. And this is part of over 100,000 jobs lost in North Carolina alone...
During the past year; the most of any Southern state. :-(

Think all those "NASCAR Dads" among that number are going to vote for Dub this fall? I DON'T! :mad:

John Kerry can make all the boring speeches he wants to; if Dub keeps going around beating his less-than-pigeon-chest about how "great" the economy is, and how "great" it is that we're losing jobs to India and China left and right, then he's going to be evicted from his illegitimate four-year squattage no matter WHAT our nominee says--or how he says it! :grr:

The South strictly a Repub presidential bastion? NOT THIS YEAR, folks!

:kick:

B-)
