I wouldn't walk accross the street to see either of these two inept clowns - can anyone say Dumb & Dumber? I'm a Republican because not everyone can be on WELFARE.

Lakeshia,
It is close minded people like you who run their mouths and know not of what they speak that perpetuate ignorance and instead of bringing our country up, tear it down. Yes, there are problems with the welfare system but a genuinely decent person would not sit by and watch families rot because of our crappy economy. Even if the nightmare becomes a reality and McCain-Palin win, welfare ain't going anywhere. Let's be honest-you're a Republican because you like having money at the expense of everyone else, you like a crappy economy, you like shitloads of our money going to a foreign country instead of fixing our problems here at home, you believe in forcing your morality and beliefs on others, and you believe in the further detriment of our country. I'm a democrat and I'm voting for Obama because I want CHANGE. I'm sick and tired of the rich and Wall St hacks getting richer and richer off MY money. I want my husband who died in Iraq back. I want someone in the White House who actually gives a damn about people instead of their wallets and political careers.

I am very excited that Sens. Obama and Biden will be paying another visit to Greensboro. Obama's frequent appearances in our state are evidence that the issues that matter most to North Carolinians, the ones I hear about every day from citizens in the Sixth Congressional District, are at the heart of this election on the national level. Good jobs, affordable health care, and a cleaner environment are what they and I will endeavor to bring to the Sixth District and the rest of America.
