What is Burr for?

Do any of your readers know what Sen. Richard Burr is for? I watch C-Span and he seems to vote no on everything.

He voted “no” on the Fair Pay Act.

He voted “no” on health insurance for kids.

Sen. Kay Hagan voted yes on these bills, even though she did not like how the health care bill taxed tobacco in North Carolina.

obamites. think this guy thought the congress was republican controlled? as for hagan? party first, citizens second.

I don't think he votes no on everything ... and sure wish he'd be responsive and answer or address direct questions.

Burr was for the welfare state expansion act of 2008 and when I contacted him and informed him he had received my last vote (and as many people I could convince likewise) he quickly responded with a form letter about how the sun would fail to rise in the east and shillrun would be out on the street without this 'emergency stimulus package'. I had to double check the address and make sure it wasn't uncle ted replying.

Kay Hagan is exactly what Harry Reid ordered...another democrat drone programmed to say 'where at and how much' every time he yells $#!+. Pitiful.

Less than 3 weeks into Obamanation and when His 'most ethical administration ever' cart is overturned by a few democrat tax cheats, we are treated to hard hitting journalism like this...as predicted:

Noteworthy:
"One child asked him if he had a favorite superhero. Spiderman and Batman, the president answered."

We find out AFTER the election that He favors Superman and Batman.

Burr is another worthless politician who waits until a majority consensus is reached before establishing his own "opinion" on controversial subjects.

In regard to the question: "What is Burr for?", the best answer is Burr himself.

But neocon, batman and superman are two superheros not a favorite one.
I guess when you are the commander you can have more than one favorite.
With the economy and climate tanking, you would have thought the "Green Lantern" may have been a better choice.

Did this letter get lost between the file cabinets in November or something?

I think Burr is for . . . himself
