Hagan: Clarity, courage
Regarding Roberta Spillane’s letter (June 23): If she is truly interested in voting for a candidate who has raised the minimum wage to help working families make ends meet, taken care of our veterans and laid out a plan to lower gas prices, she should take a look at Kay Hagan.
Kay has shown real courage by voting to increase the state minimum wage. She has shown true dedication to our brave men and women in the armed forces by pledging her support for better benefits and a new GI Bill. And she has shown real leadership with her comprehensive energy plan that will lower prices for consumers while reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
Spillane is correct: North Carolina does need a strong voice in the Senate. We need Kay Hagan’s clear and consistent voice to fight for us in Washington.

Since when is "voting to increase the state minimum wage" (with other peoples' money, of course) an act of "real courage"?

BTW Nicole, who in Washington is planning an attack on North Carolina that we need someone there who will "fight for us"?
Or is this the usual liberal jargon for "someone who will steal more of other peoples' money and redistribute it to their voting blocks back in NC"?

"Kay has shown real courage by voting to increase the state minimum wage."
Is this what passes for real courage in the Democrat Party? I don't think that someone who is pandering for votes by supporting the minimum wage is someone that I want "fighting" for me in Washington. Like neo said.

And, speaking about lowering gas prices, what miracle will Kay Hagan deliver here? The only way she can lower gas prices is to authorize drilling, and being a Democrat, I have serious doubts that will happen. The Democrats in Washington do not want gas prices to come down. High gas prices will force people to change their life styles to save the planet from rampant carbon dioxide.

Is Hagan's plan to lower gas prices better than the one, the "common sense" plan that Nancy Pelosi told she had when the Demo-Rats took control of congress in 06' amd gas was $2.49 a gallon. Did Hagan reveal the details of her plan!

Where are the liberal lame-brains that usually post here. Kay needs them to defend her dis-honor.
