For years, North Carolina's District 7 Congressman, Democrat Mike McIntyre has attempted to publicly distance himself from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. This despite voting twice for the San Francisco liberal to ascend to her position of third in line for the White House. However, over the past several months, the Democrat appears to not only be embracing their relationship, he's touting it in big bold letters. In a recent letter to constituents in regards to healthcare reform, McIntyre lists himself as "MAJORITY LEADER'S ADVISORY COUNCIL - SENIOR WHIP."
The claim appears to suggest a close bond with McIntyre and Steny Hoyer, the Democrat's Leader in the House and number two to Pelosi. This has left many citizens concerned and seeking answers. McIntyre regularly touts his "Blue Dog" credentials, a moderate Democrat that is willing to break with his party's ranks. But the description seems to indicate he is not only in lock-step with the leadership, he is part of the team calling the shots.
"People have been calling our campaign in recent days saying, 'What does this all mean?'" said Will Breazeale, McIntyre's Republican opponent. "I've been telling them it's simple: For 14 months we all thought the country was being run by crazy Socialists. It turns out Hoyer and Pelosi were just getting bad advice from Mike McIntyre."
McIntyre's public embrace of the Obama-Pelosi Agenda is odd, but it is not where the story ends. Research has provided no evidence as to what the position of Senior Whip actually does. Making it strange for a politician to publicly reverse course over a position in which few know its power.
"Given that Congressman McIntyre represents counties that have some of the highest unemployment in the country, it wouldn't surprise me a bit that he is a senior advisor to the trillions of dollars of debt and four million lost jobs of the past 14 months," observed Breazeale, a three-time Iraq War veteran. "The other option is he's just a guy that likes to make up titles on paper to try to impress people. Either way, I guess he's got some explaining to do."
Breazeale is publicly calling on the Democrat to provide clarification. "I want to know what this post is and what his responsibilities are on it. 2010 is the year of the citizen. I am the Citizen's Representative. And for the first time in his legislative career, Mike McIntyre will be honest with the citizens."
