3. Cawthorn

is one strange guy. Lying will make you strange. He could probably extort a nice chunk of money from certain members of the legislature who engaged in illegal acts and left a paper trail.

4. I was pretty horrified when I learned he represents my grandmother's former district

I visited fairly often and got to know all her friends and I can't imagine any one of them supporting this moran - they may have lived in NC, but they would have fit in here on DU, many were activists.

6. Wow, thanks for the information.

McConnell must be old enough to have been subject to the draft.
