The repubs ...The dems swept the polls 2 years ago.<br /><br />The repubs swept the polls this time.<br /><br />I've had my mailbox full of Cullie Tarleton trash trying to tell me what a wonderful representative he is.<br /><br />I've read his weekly email newsletter and he was a spendthrift beyond belief. There was no left wing program he wouldn't throw money at.<br /><br />Tell me Tarleton, if you "cut" 3.5 Billion form the budget then:<br /><br />1. Why was it in there in the first place.<br /><br />and<br /><br />2. Why are we going to have another 3.5 Billion dollar deficit next year?<br /><br />Good luck the the newly elected republicans, they have inherited a real mess thanks to JW's buddies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-34694716668329067672010-11-07T11:33:31.213-05:002010-11-07T11:33:31.213-05:00Is there no one on this blog who thinks that the p...Is there no one on this blog who thinks that the people in this area overwhelmingly voted Republican because they were dissatisfied with Democrat governance?<br /><br />Almost every Republican candidate won....<br /><br />Learn to accept it...<br /><br />It's not always about who spent the most money....Cullie had almost a half MILLION dollars in his war chest...yet he lost.<br /><br />It's not because the majority of voters are stupid....or that they are easily mislead by "negative advertising". My mailbox was full of anti Foxx, Anti Soucek and Anti Jordan negative mailings....<br /><br />It's not because of "outside spending"....Some of the biggest "outside" spenders this election season were labor unions and Democrat pacs.<br /><br />The reason Republicans won isn't even because people are happy with the Republican party - or prior Republican leadership. No. <br /><br />It's primarily because people are upset with current Democrat rule...from Washington, From Raleigh, and from the district and local levels.<br /><br />Obama swept to victory - and brought a lot of Dem candidates with him BECAUSE of the anti-Bush fervor in this country. Now the pendulum swings the other way...as it always does eventually.<br />etAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-11037886243953958462010-11-06T21:34:32.046-05:002010-11-06T21:34:32.046-05:00Thanks for the link to that letter, Henery.

(http://www.jeffersonpost.com/view/full_story/10162573/article-Letters-to-the-Editor?instance=news_special_coverage_right_column)<br /><br />Just a paragraph to give you the flavor:<br /><br />"I still think Cullie Tarleton and Steve Goss are better men than those who ran an outrageously dirty and slanderous campaign. I don’t personally know Jonathan Jordon or Dan Soucek, and maybe they are nice men too—or were—but even if they were honest men, then they are no longer. (If they were they wouldn’t have let others run their campaign with false accusations and lies.)"Henerynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-78302098154967711542010-11-06T17:49:10.069-05:002010-11-06T17:49:10.069-05:00Bipartisanship?
