Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) has endorsed Dr. Greg Brannon for Senate in North Carolina. On a radio talk show, Brannon refused to say that 9/11 wasn’t an inside job, alleging that “things like this have to be asked.”

Punching Down
Gov. Pat McCrory (R-NC) got an employee at a gourmet grocery store, Drew Swope, fired because he said, “Thanks for nothing” to McCrory. McCrory couldn’t say “Off with his head,” so he settled for “Off with his apron.” Instead of taking a little criticism, rich and powerful McCrory took Swope’s low-paying job.
If I lived in NC, I’d feel the same as Swope, given the pass that Duke Energy’s dangerous practices are getting from McCrory, who worked for them for almost three decades before becoming governor.
Duke just had the third largest coal ash spill in history. Of course, the people of NC should have thought twice before they elected a Duke Energy guy. Specifically, they should have thought about foxes and hen houses.
Are You People Morons?
Just a couple of weeks after two inches of snow caused people in Atlanta to be stuck in massive traffic jams, some overnight, the same thing has just happened in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina.
Those who don’t learn from history two weeks ago are doomed to repeat it…
No, He Won’t Respect You in the Morning
When he was running for governor of North Carolina, Republican Pat McCrory was asked in a debate what additional restrictions on abortion he would sign. He replied “None.”
Typical guy, telling women what they wanted to hear so he could get what he wanted, and he won.
McCrory has now signed a law that probably will close 15 of North Carolina’s 16 clinics that perform abortions.
Would he have won if he’d answered honestly during that debate? We’ll never know, but he certainly didn’t seem to think so.
I hope that McCrory is never elected to anything ever again, and that women not just in North Carolina, but all across the country, learn the lesson not to trust GOPers bearing reproductive rights.
This Is Our Republican Party
Ok, so North Carolina Republicans are trying to impose abortion restrictions like those Rick Perry wants to pass in Texas. They’ve attached the restrictions to a bill banning Sharia law. Kind of tells you all you need to know about today’s GOP. They campaign on jobs, jobs, jobs, they govern on abortion, abortion, abortion, and they throw in a little scary Sharia stuff for dessert.
Crazy of the Day
Meet Michele Presnell, a GOP legislator in North Carolina, who supports saying Christian prayers before legislative meetings.
When a constituent asked her if it was okay to say Islamic prayers before a legislative meeting, Presnell emailed back, “No, I do not condone terrorism.”
North Carolina To Be Christian By Law?
A group of ten Republican legislators in North Carolina has submitted a bill that would establish an official religion in that state.
I’m guessing that religion won’t be Islam…
The post-Mittens re-branding of the GOP is going really well, don’t you think?
What Exit Polls Showing
Matt Drudge is reporting that exit polls show Mitt winning North Carolina and Florida; O winning New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nevada; and toss-ups in Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, and Iowa.

TPM Predicts Big Obama Win
The electoral vote map at liberal Talking Points Memo shows Obama with 303 and Mitt with 191. They show just two states left as toss-ups — Florida and North Carolina, and Mitt can have them.
Well, This Isn’t Good
The liberal site Talking Points Memo is now showing Obama with 270 electoral votes, the bare minimum, and Mitt with 206.
They’ve moved Nevada, Colorado, and Ohio from Lean Obama to Toss Up. They’ve moved North Carolina from Toss Up to Lean Romney.
