Down five, actually.

TBH I wasn't all that enraged by the video camera scandal.  Those two insufferable little creeps were probably following him around all day with their camera.  People, even congressmen, are entitled to some modicum of privacy without having people follow them around with video cameras.  I would get pretty pissed off too (although my preferred solution would be to take out my own video camera, and start filming them).

Those two little creeps should  have sued Etheridge for assault and battery.  His scalp being hung over the mantle piece will become a very precious family heirloom.

I hope he goes down in flames. I expect he will with weak Democrats on the ticket in a bad year for Democrats overall, especially since it appears Burr has mobilized a good portion of the NC GOP.

Well i know you are a lawyer and everything, but Suing over something in which no harm came to anybody seems incredibly petty.

This is a conservative outfit that ordered the poll, so we'll see what happens. It flipped in 1994 and then flipped back in 1996, so this wouldn't be a long term GOP hold.

[East Coast Republican]

He deserves this for what he did to that college kid.

I can't even believe that kid let him get away with it.  He should have pushed Etheridge off him at least.

What, troll?

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Do you guys even know who Renee Ellmers is? She's one of the worst candidates fielded by the GOP, up there with Maes, Miller, and O'Donnell.

You heard me, unregistered voter.

^^^^^That's just a guess^^^^^

Try "illegal immigrant". It will give more gravitas to your argument.

Or "under the age of 30".

Did you seriously just call me a racist px?  That's hilarious.

What I should add to my argument to give it more 'gravitas' is 'Angry European who can't stand seeing Conservatives vote a certain way knowing he can't do anything about it except post on a forum and follow them from thread to thread.'

How's that for 'gravitas?'  Gonna play the race card again?

If she wins, it would be the upset of the cycle...

[JohnnyLongtorso]

I'll be glad when this fucking election is over.

[East Coast Republican]

Well, you are.

LOL.

I'm not

I'm racist against who exactly?  Where's your proof?

Oh yeah I get it.  Your proof is that I'm a registered Republican.  That's great that in your heads that's ground for racism but you're gonna need more proof than a far left liberal talking point.

That's how it is with your side.  It's all about race.

Ellmers did just fine fencing with Anderson Cooper. In fact, I would give her the match on points. She is no pushover. She is entitled to her opinion that the Mosque should not be built, and entitled to point out that Etheridge did not take a stand on it, until she ran her commercial.  And yes, I think the Mosque should be built, but that is just my opinion. There are arguments to be made on both sides.

"Far left liberal" is an oxymoron.

I think you mean the neighboring NC-4 (which is still represented by the same guy actually)

Actually, strike that, this district flipped too.  Though the previous one was more competitive (Obama won the current iteration by a few points).  If the republicans can block a Democratic gerrymander, then they should be able to hold this seat pretty easily.

It's not an argument for a Congressman to be having. It's a non-issue and when someone express their outrage about it, it reveals their racist/xenophobic tendencies. Really Torie? I thought she got destroyed by Cooper. Maybe if I wiped my memory and had no knowledge of any sort of history, I would say she won.

There are no arguments to be made on both sides. This is an issue about religious freedom and when some national group wants to go against local governmental procedure to try and stop its construction, it's wrong. It's not an issue for Congress to have any say in. Personal opinion does not matter, this is a private establishment that wants to build the cultural center.

You must really hate Etheridge to be playing devil's advocate on this one.

"Far left liberal" is an oxymoron.

Not if we're talking about the National Assembly.  Liberte, egalite, fraternite - ou la mort!
