Don’t feel like answering questions? Simply don’t show up for your debate. After all, the rubes are stupid, and name recognition and incumbency are what win elections, not policy positions or character, right, Senator Hagan?
North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Claude E. Pope, Jr. put it well:
“Senator Hagan works for the people of North Carolina – and they expect her to show up for work. Tonight, she had an opportunity to answer questions about her ‘stimulus’ payday, her Ebola travel ban flip-flop, and her decision to skip a classified briefing on the Islamic State for a fundraiser on Park Avenue. She had an opportunity, at long last, to lay out a positive vision for growth and jobs. She did not,” Pope said, going on to praise [Republican Senatorial challenger Thom] Tillis for his performance.
No worries. The Duke corridor and the Raleigh liberals will still pull the lever for her. After all, it’s party uber alles these days, and political affiliations are like badges of intellectual conspicuous consumption among a certain set.
That it shows them to be the opposite of what they suppose seems lost on them: shallow, superficial, and coddling of cronyism, enormous government, and despicable thieves and liars who just happen to have the proper political pedigree and party affiliation appended to their names.
It’s so very…sad.
It’s the Americans again.
At least to the extent that those Americans in North Carolina will actually consider and possibly approve to put this empty-pantsuit back in office: her very emptiness is consonant with what those North Carolinians have come to be themselves regarding their disregarded political welfare: empty. So Hagan is symbolic in many ways.
Symbolic ways similar, even, to the symbolic empty magazine in the slain Canadian Guard’s rifle t’other day. He had nothing with which to defend the symbolic tomb he guarded, to say nothing of his own life.
it’s party uber alles these days,
Not if you’re a conservative it’s not.
This Negro just won’t stay on the damn plantation. I hope to God they made a huge buy with that. Or at least I would if Tillis weren’t another establishment schmuck.
Meanwhile, Harry Reid is retarded.
Elbert Guillory is to my view just about the most heroic man on the American political scene today. His mere presence, to say nothing of his clarity, his voice, his sanity, is almost enough to make a man hope again.
I look forward to being old and senile and getting away with saying anything I darn well please with consequences.

Those SS agents look like they’re about to go bowling and their door hanger is about a decade out of date. The SS is part of Homeland Security, not Treasury. Very sloppy.
A the mention of the Department Of Homeland Security, let me just ask the question again: Am I the only one creeped-out by the reference to America as ‘The Homeland’?
Nope, you aren’t alone Bob. It never seemed our way to me — we just never spoke like that before — but was recognizable as a foreigner’s way of speech.
Far and away OT, but historic..

Is it just me or are World Series a lot more likely lately to go the full seven games than they used to be?
It’s probably just me, since I don’t pay attention.
– But it was an anonymous staffer, so no harm, no foil when he gets thrown under the bus. Lap dog Lurch does the work Obamaclones won’t do.
– Krauhthammer nails it and the WH morons to the wall.
– In case after case Jug ears has done things no one, including his own base, can explain or figure out his reasons for. The latest mess, the refusal to abide by the most ancient and common sense approach when a society is faced with a possible contagion, is even being defied by several Liberal states as dickhead contradicts his own Ebola policy. Every one knows its purely racial when he speaks about Africa, and his fear of alienating his own Black base so close to an election.
– His latest show of disrespect for the military is his “not volunteers” for this African use of our soldiers. Bastard.
