And we have one of the stronger Democratic Party orgs here, when compared to the other counties in Soucek's new district.Henerynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-66715203052340722762011-07-14T07:29:08.222-05:002011-07-14T07:29:08.222-05:00It does not matter how you spell it, Cullie was cu...It does not matter how you spell it, Cullie was culled.<br /><br />I disagree with the other Anonymous.

The Boone press has itself been so obviously taken over by Art Pope and the Tea Party mentality, with columns by John Locke Foundation prominent in the Watauga "Democrat," I don't think there's much chance of that. This is the old game of the Repubs claiming the media is controlled by the left, e.g. Rupert Murdoch, I guess, when they have firm control over the propaganda. The only reason people like Foxx get reelected, even by voters in Red Wilkes, is the disinformation of local media. If voters knew half of what these clowns and monsters actually do, they would never vote for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-19217634858269084512011-07-13T22:33:50.690-05:002011-07-13T22:33:50.690-05:00Oh, yes, amjp, whoever you are.
