Who to believe, who to the believe?????????????????? It seems like one minute there will be a commercial on tv saying this canidate did this or voted this way...five minutes later there will be a commercial from the opponent saying, 'oh no, this canidate is misleading' going in to detail about what the fool in the first commercial said and how it is not true.
So after I got through the massive headache that the 50-something ads for canidates I came up with a conclusion. The election is not about who is best qualified, or even one's past voting record, but about which one can convince the masses that thier opponent is a sack of lying shit.
Is it like that in other states or is North Carolina the only one????
I can tell you right now that
Pat McCrory is a deregulation and free market fanatic... but Bev most likely can't defeat him as he is leading in the polls.
Dole needs to go... she is a member of the ultra conservative right and opposes things like stem cell research and national health care. She is also a deregulation hound and a defense hawk. She voted No on a bill providing $100 to reduce teen pregnancy by education and contaceptives.
Robin Hayes has to go as well... During his 2004 election campaign, Hayes was the second largest recipient of the former House Majority Leader's campaign contributions. Tom DeLay is being prosecuted on charges of felony money laundering of campaign finances and conspiracy to launder money. To date, Hayes has not offered to return any of the $47,722 he received.
He is also the fifth most richest man in congress.
The Charlotte Observer reported that Rep. Hayes has drawn criticism in recent months for voting in favor of CAFTA after stating only days before that he would never vote for the measure because he felt it would cause further loss of textile industry jobs. Hayes changed his "no" to a "yes" at the last minute, helping the agreement squeak a pass. Then House speaker Dennis Hastert
reportedly approached Hayes the night of the House vote - at midnight, in the House Cloak Room - and told him they needed his vote. As a result of his vote change, the Charlotte Observer reports that Hayes is getting "high-profile, expensive help in his [2006] re-election bid" from the Republican Party, including a $10,000 campaign contribution from Hastert's leadership PAC.
The Charlotte observer also reported that In December 2006, Hayes told the Concord Rotary Club that stability in Iraq ultimately depends on "spreading the message of Jesus Christ, the message of peace on earth, good will towards men... Everything depends on everyone learning about the birth of the savior." After the speech Hayes said that he was speaking in "the context of spreading Christian principles rather than Christianity."
