We got rid of Liddy Dole in NC, and now we work on getting out Richard Burr.

Here is a prime example of what we are up against.
The audacity of disseminating such outlandish accusation/propaganda! What gall to speak of the lack of transparency after 8 arduous years of covert government!







Dear Friend,

Blatantly ignoring the opposition to government-run health care  by the American people, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are working to push this massive  health spending  bill through Congress by using a process called Reconciliation. 

The American people rejected their ideas. The special election in Massachusetts was a pretty clear referendum on their health care reform legislation.  However, they continue to ignore the American people and ram it through Congress.

Reid, Pelosi and this Administration want you to believe they are drafting  health care reform in a transparent and bipartisan manner. But gathering lawmakers at the White House in the name of bipartisanship, while planning to impose government-run health care for all on the American people, whether Americans want it or not, is nothing more than a smoke and mirrors approach to reform.

The Administration  made up their mind before the summit and introduced their own health care proposal.  They crafted this legislation behind closed doors with no input from Republicans.  And now, they want to use Reconciliation and completely cut out the American people. This is political gamesmanship at its ugliest.

With all of these behind the scenes efforts to get around the will of the people, it's hard to envision what the purpose of Thursday's summit is.  It is time to start over and give the American people what they have been demanding, health care reform that will actually drive down costs and provide access to quality care.

If you want real solutions be sure to sign our health care petition,  as well as pass along this message to friends and family. It is time the voices of the American people are heard.
Sincerely,
 
Richard Burr 
United States Senator

3. And they all the hell lie in unison, don't they. A sign they learn a few sentences
by heart, that are handed to them on cheat sheets.
Or maybe they write them on the hands now.

4. Virginia Foxx must have given it to him. I cannot stop her
from sending me stuff.

And Burr, heck, all he needs to do is hand his talking point cheat sheet to a staffer who can write.
DISGUSTING

6. You should post a warning before you put that pic up.
What a great diet aid that would be, put it on the fridge door and all food therein would be safe.

7. No matter what you write to that fool
the response is always boilerplate from RovePress. During the B*sh years, the second paragraph predictably began "As you know, since September 11th..." yaddafrickinyadda, no matter what the subject was.

The same went for Biddy Dole.

I'm in Miller's district, thank heaven, and not Snappin' Vaginia Foxx. I pity Mount Airy. But Miller finally woke up and that's a Good Thing™

Have you checked out www.bluenc.com ? They're a goodly bunch.
