Dalton is flailing. We're SO screwed. May have to move to Cali to get away from the stupid.

Now we realize that the reason Repubs have not controlled anything in NC since after the Civil War. Why the people vote for Repubs after what they have done blows me mind. Anyway there is always tomorrow..........................................

two diehard democrat families where we live. Rest are red as red can be Repubs....My family and our good friends a half mile up the road are the only democrats. We are so tired of being screwed over by lunatic Virginia Foxx, Richard Burr and then the state house and senate kooks...Oh well, mayber our state will help keep Obama in the White House for 4 more years.
