She will cross every decent line to get what she wants. I wish we had a naughty corner for liars. Senator Dole is just like the other members of her team.

I felt like I needed to bathe after reading it. This is just despicable. But Kay Hagan's reponse is classic! She did good! I never thought I'd see this day, but isn't it great to see that negative ads may not be working anymore???? HOPE!!! I got that same canned letter from Richard Shelby.

The response I got back from Dole was also "canned," and replete with plenty of "code," in case I was one of the base. If I had any illusion before that exchange that she was interested in representing ALL the people of North Carolina, it was shattered with that response. Plus, it's icky from the standpoint that I just don't want to go "on record" with somebody who might put me on the "godless/unpatriotic" list (in spite of the fact that I'm active in my church, and apparently take my oath to uphold and defend the Constitution much more seriously than Dole takes hers, even though my status as an attorney is "inactive") for merely disagreeing with her! Ah, me. Sincerely yours, Zausted. Yeah, it is icky! The response I got back from Dole was also “canned,” and replete with plenty of “code,” in case I was one of the base.

I felt compelled to write Shelby on the bailout pkg. I felt dirty after. I received the canned letter in response a couple of weeks ago. I voted for him in the 90's when he was a democrat and he turned coat after the election. Isn’t it icky when you have to write icky reps? I felt compelled to write Shelby on the bailout pkg.

Dole (I contacted her once about "priorities" in time usage in the Congress and got quite an unresponsive response for my troubles), she seems to have a penchant for completely ignoring the salient issues, and resorting to empty rhetoric. Here, the rhetoric has plunged into the land of falsehoods. Ah, you gotta love those "ends justify the means" thinkers. She likes to play to the "stereotypical" constituent in my state (you know, "the real Americans ..."). Of course, it's easy to understand why Dole is playing to a stereotype rather than to real North Carolinians. She's spent so little time here the last six years, how's she supposed to know who we really are? Who knew that Liddy was so desperate to avoid spending time with Bob?
