Excuse me, but the Republicans already hold the U.S. Senate, not that you can tell most of them from the democRATS.

Burr is a perfect example of the modern-day republican. He thinks getting the taxpayers to foot the bill for a single make-work project will somehow revitalize the NC economy.

Memo to Burr: Ever think about cutting taxes and regulations here in NC? No, I didn't think so...

For years republicans have said that if we "only" had control of the house, senate and whitehouse that all would be well. Vote republican, no matter their stripe, on and on.

Socialists control this government and the republicans are only deluding themselves.

True, but it takes 60 votes to get a judge appointed these days. A majority is not good enough.

There is virtually no legal way that a US Congressman can affect policy within the state of NC.

There are about 40 Republicans in the US Senate and 11 'Republicans'. Try passing legislation with 40 votes some time, it doesn't work too good. And yet you are attacking Burr, who would increase the number of conservatives in the Senate. Are you slow or something?

That has no basis in fact. Burr IS a good example of the Reagan conservatives who make up the bulk of the GOP these days.

You want a congressman to cut NC taxes and regulations. Brilliant. Why don't you talk to Mike Easley about that?
