1. Yes, congressman Billy Bob |
|
maybe we should flood the email of local news papers with some choice quotes gathered from the free republic hate site. Let them know the kind of people billy bob hangs with.

2. Has he said anything really incriminating? |
|
And if he did, could you tolerate reading through that hillbilly crap that he would have written it in to find it?
I read his spiel about wanting to be a congressman and he didn't sound like the devil to me. He sounds like a guy who wants better schools and more jobs for his district. What's wrong with that?

Wow, freepers are hillbillies. Facinating! Yup! Let's just alienate the southern voting block again.

Cause if it was, I was referring to the hillbilly vernacular that this Congressman Billybob writes in. Before you get nasty and patronizing, assuming that is not a state of being for you, you might want to READ THE LINK PROVIDED so that you know what the discussion is about.

Lighting up if you are from the South. It was more a joke.

5. Primary challenge for Charles Taylor (R)? |
|
I don't see how you can get much to the right of the incumbent...he sponsored legislation to give Billy Graham the Congressional Gold Medal. http://www.house.gov/charlestaylor/bio.htm#biography

9. Well here is what he had to say about it |

To: Congressman Billybob
What's wrong with Charles Taylor?

To: William Creel
Charles Taylor has been in office for 12 years. I saved a letter that he wrote me, when he was young and "full of p*ss and vinegar" and part of the reformist "Gang of Seven." In that letter he committed himself firmly to term limits -- six years and out -- a position in accord with the views of James Madison and many other Framers.
I am committed to running a positive campaign. My website contains about 60 pages of material, and nowhere in there is any personal attack on the incumbent, Charles Taylor. Instead, it deals with the District, and what I bring to the table to serve the people here.
There are quite a few items in there that any Congressman can and should do, but few actually do, including Charlie. Read for yourself, and reach your own conclusions whether I would be a more energetic, well-prepared, and effective Congressman than most of the incumbents from any District, not just the 11th in North Carolina.
Then you can tell me if you consider me a clearly better person to hold that office.
John / Billybob

if you ignore the content, that is (:puke: ) ENDORSEMENT
I, Goobergunch, hereby endorse Rep. Charles Taylor (R-NC) in the Republican primary in the 11th Congressional District of North Carolina. Of course, I'll still endorse whoever the Democrat is in the general...
