Barfield: Time for a Progressive in NC-07

Posted on January 9, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

These things sometimes write themselves. New Hanover’s Jonathan Barfield is a prime example:

It is time for progressive leadership in NC’s 7th Congressional District. Please visit my website http://t.co/Q3NA2YiIGL .

McIntyre (D- NC 07) To Retire

Posted on January 9, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

The news came last night, Mike McIntyre won’t be running again.

Earthquake in #NCPol MT @politico #Breaking: Democratic Reps. Mike McIntyre (N.C.) … retiring, according to multiple Democratic sources.

Might be just as well, because he barely beat Rouzer before the Obamacare trainwreck hit back in 2012. That race was pretty expensive (5th in the nation) and was so close Rouzer asked for a recount. McIntyre emerged and won by 654 votes. It’s doubtful McIntyre wants to repeat that and be on the losing end – especially since according to OpenSecrets.org, it seems like the money faucet has turned off for him in the last year.

Hagan Gets Bloomy’s Money

Posted on January 7, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Another day, another whiny email from the Special Interests Kay Hagan campaign about outside money attacking her. Looks like she’s not busy enough dodging her 24 Obamacare lies.

You see, Special Interest Kay only complains about people spending money against her. When it’s for her? Well, shut up.. because Koch Brothers, Karl Rove.. or something. Just look at the pile of money Mike Bloomberg just dropped on Harry Reid’s Super PAC to help her out: Continue reading →

#AskKay About Her Special Interests Hypocrisy

Posted on January 5, 2014 by A.P. Dillon

Well, Hot Air certainly has an interesting story up on Kay Hagan and it’s not about Obamacare. Well, not all of it. Excerpt:

Even better, Hagan tries to hit Tillis for supporting special interests. It’s fairly shocking that Kay Hagan would attack anyone on special interests. Her list of special interests and lobbyist backers — including her buddy Tony Podesta – is as long as your arm. (See here, here andhere for starters.) This isn’t even counting the $1million+ that political action committees have poured into her campaign or her financial reports from her time in state legislature. This has led some to begin calling her “Special Interest Kay.” Continue reading →

UPDATED – About That N&O Gambling Money Story…

Posted on December 30, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

North Carolina has been treated to yet another edition of ‘Name no Democrats’ by N&O’s Biesecker. Only mentioning the top GOP players in a story is becoming a regular event, especially if they are running for the Senate. It really fits the ‘slam, eviscerate and cripple’ pattern we’ve come to know all too well. In fact, it would appear that Biesecker’s story is pretty damn close to the big bullet points of this Democracy NC memo, which is a group tied to BluePrint NC.

I suppose anything that draws attention away from the pummeling Hagan is taking over her 24 Obamacare lies is a good thing in the mind of Democrats — even a story that broke around 6 months ago or so and is now being recycled and includes some of their own ‘best and brightest’.

I’ve included the whole list of names further down, because, you know, Biesecker didn’t include that in his report. Maybe because he didn’t want you to see the ratio. 36 were Republicans and 24 were Democrats, yet Biesecker only wrote about the Republicans. Continue reading →

He Who Controls The Data, Controls The People?

Posted on November 19, 2013 by A.P. Dillon

Stalin is quoted as once saying something along the lines of, “It doesn’t matter who votes. What matters is who counts the votes.” Well, if you can get your propaganda into the heads actual voters before they vote, same difference right?

Looks like a lot of folks might owe Jack Welch and apology.

Over at Instapundit, Professor Reynolds has posted an article from the NY Post titled, ‘Census ‘faked’ 2012 jobs report. The excerpt he posts is this, emphasis is mine:

In the home stretch of the 2012 presidential campaign, from August to September, the unemployment rate fell sharply — raising eyebrows from Wall Street to Washington.

The decline — from 8.1 percent in August to 7.8 percent in September — might not have been all it seemed. The numbers, according to a reliable source, were manipulated.

And the Census Bureau, which does the unemployment survey, knew it. Continue reading →
