Just Another Narrative About Privilege

Hagan is the mother of three. Otherwise missing from the preferred media narrative are a few facts about Hagan's background that suggest she is more scion of crony capitalists than citizen legislator. Kay Hagan's maiden name is Ruthven and Kay was largely raised in Lakeland, Florida. The Ruthvens are not ordinary citizens of Lakeland. Her father may have started out as a tire salesman but he ended up as one of the large developers of commercial real estate in Florida..

It is also questionable whether Hagan has ever had to deal much with obstreperous or officious bureaucrats. Her mother's maiden name was Chiles. Hagan's uncle was the extremely partisan Democrat Lawton Chiles, another resident of Lakeland, Florida. Lawton Chiles was a very successful real estate developer himself as well as a career politician.

PoLIEticians are politicians. They lie to survive.

I had no idea about her background. She’s a carpetbagger and so are most of those who vote for her, I’ll bet. Wake up, tarheels! Get rid of Hag!

The narrative on Elizabeth Dole, on the other hand, was that Dole was an elitist Republican rubber stamp who was out of touch with North Carolina.

Well, Hagan *did* get that bit right. Stopped Clock, Blind squirrel, and all that.

I'm not thrilled with Tillis, but I think that he'll be an adequate replacement, and certainly better than Hagan, who never would have been elected but for the Obama 2008 landslide. Tillis certainly has done well here in state politics.

That’s why I included the NC in the post. Tillis may not be great but we know what hagan is.

No, the average redneck mom is orders of magnitude smarter than Kay Hagan. She makes Beverly Perdue look smart. Dumb as a frow, dumb as a box of rocks, dumb as soup ...
