No, I can see all of the superstar, by walking by paper racks n the morning. It a shame we only have one person running for president.
The only time you hear, McCain name,is when some liberal wacko from the media, worries about how many houses he has.

No, I have better things to do than watch fellow Rockingham County resident, Ms. Craven whine about the bleak situation that she and her husband find themselves in, and are partially RESPONSIBLE for themselves. According to the article, Ms. Craven, her husband, and many other displaced Pillowtex workers chose to drop out of school and go to work at an early age. Perhaps they had to go to work at such an early age out of necessity, but there were programs to earn a high school diploma available in the years that follow. Instead of taking the podium to score political points (and eventually bash Republicans), perhaps folks in Ms. Craven's position should explore the many jobs currently available in Rockingham County, posted on the Employment Security Commission website. I myself was laid off from work in June 2007 and do not have any college education, but instead of seeking an unemployment check and seeking public sympathy, I got off my butt and found work. I had to beat the bushes and take an unpleasant job, but I'd much rather have a crap job (literally, as I work in wastewater treatment), than take a handout or have everyone feel sorry for me. In the future, we should look into the current state of Rockingham County, which has the highest unemployment rate, the lowest quality schools, and the worst overall conditions among all counties in the Triad. Maybe we can explore the fact that county government has been dominated by a one-party system since the Civil War, and no it isn't the Party of Lincoln!
