United States House: North Carolina

North Carolina had her primaries yesterday.  While there were many races, I was really only concerned with one:  District 4.  This race featured BJ Lawson and Frank Roche.  Both candidates are strong and I would be happy with either one.  However, I was pulling for Mr. Lawson to pull it out.  And he did:

What's In Your Tea

Some time ago I began a piece on the Republican Party’s Platform.  Sadly, I didn’t finish it but I made it far enough to illustrate my point.  And that is there are parts that I disagree with.

Unemployment?

This sign has been in the window for a month now. Clear case of marginal value.

Tea Anyone?

The test is coming.  The energy and excitement that is and has been caused by, the Tea Party movement is gonna be tested in the coming months.  It’s one thing for a group of folks to get mad and meet in the park.  It’s another thing entirely for that group of people identify a leader, for that leader to be qualified, and move the group from loosely connected to organized force.
