All the "I HATE CHARLOTTE!!!!!!!" rednecks will stay home rather than choose between 2 Charlotte guys.<br /><br />Bowles may be from here, but almost nobody outside of Charlotte knows that, certainly not the "I HATE CHARLOTTE!!!!!!!" rednecks. They think he's from D.C. So he could go to the other 99 counties and say, "I'm running against a Charlotte guy" and he'll win in a landslide. Every candidate other than Foxx could use this one line and gain complete loyalty from the "I HATE CHARLOTTE!!!!!!!" rednecks, no matter how bad of a candidate (s)he might be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-24576629251255366302012-01-26T13:24:41.884-05:002012-01-26T13:24:41.884-05:00Keep voting in Demcraps and this will continue to ...Keep voting in Demcraps and this will continue to happen:<br /><br />As Gov. Pat Quinn prepares for the State of the State address on Feb. 1, he will find it difficult to defend the state’s economic policies that have resulted in more unemployed Illinoisans in 2011. <br /><br />Almost a year after Illinois’ record income tax increase, the state’s unemployment woes contrast starkly with the slow but positive national economic recovery. Unemployment rates in 46 states dropped since January 2011, and some dramatically. Illinois’ unemployment rate, on the other hand, was 9.8 percent in December, up from 9 percent in January 2011. Simply put, Illinois placed more people on the unemployment rolls than any other state in the country.<br /><br />Illinois leadership had substantive policy options when it began 2011 with major fiscal challenges. But rather than reduce spending, tackle its pension problems and reduce the cost of doing business in Illinois, officials chose to kick off the year with the largest tax hike in state history. <br /><br />The results? More deficits, an estimated $7 billion in unpaid bills and a downgrade by Moody’s credit agency to the lowest rating in the country. The state had to pay companies to stay in Illinois, and, worst of all, more Illinoisans joined the ranks of the unemployed.Skippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688165669248150791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-40438971326888401342012-01-26T13:16:17.798-05:002012-01-26T13:16:17.798-05:0012:14 how can anyone but the corrupt Perdue be mor...12:14 how can anyone but the corrupt Perdue be more catastrophic than she has been? I don't expect you to provide any type of cogent response, just because. Wasn't it Erskin that sat back and allowed the corrupt Mary Sleasley and John Edwards land jobs working for our "higher" education systems? <br /><br />And Mayor Bobblehead would be a perfect fit alright. He is nothing but a token here that has been a quick study in cronyism and all he would be is a yes man for the plantation owners in DC.Skippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04688165669248150791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-40074101077763130072012-01-26T13:01:54.405-05:002012-01-26T13:01:54.405-05:00Let's hope Foxx does run because that will be ...Let's hope Foxx does run because that will be a "win-win" for the city of Charlotte and the state of NC.
