Rachel Lea Hunter? Isn't she married to that wacko Connie Mack that posts all over the N&R?
Sheesh, what a pair!

Her website is anything but non-partisan.
Yes Doug the Democrat party would rather seen this non-experienced but rampant farleft ranter as a justice than an individual who is experienced and understands interpretation of the law rather than attempting to make law. Given her remarks on her website you could just about bet the farm that her agenda would be to re-write the laws to suit what she believes rather than to interpret the law .

Yes Jaycee you are correct on both statements!

ut, by the way, why didn't the party find a candidate it COULD endorse? Maybe because there's no mainstream opposition to Martin in the state's legal circles?* Doug

Doug! You were man ahead of his time when last December you said it would be nasty. Right now! I am asking for a party refund since I believe I was scam with this party business.ps..We try to get them somebody else in.

Now Now jayee! Let's don't get personal. You are the kind of person like VR who will be calling my dog Gay if this cont'n

Connie, I don't think Ms. Hunter is involved in nasty campaigning.

Connie, I don't think Ms. Hunter is involved in nasty campaigning.* Doug

Neither do I Doug! Remember I am the house husband and chief cleaner here. I know what nasty is! Thought this little thing might help some folks to review so-called racist statements by others?

Will Jerry kick Hillary out of the Party too?

Hillary Clinton spoke to a group on martin luther king day and said:

Hillary Clinton Blasts GOP 'Plantation'

NEW YORK -- Sounding a little like a preacher, a fired-up Sen. Hillary Clinton lambasted the Bush administration and the Republican-controlled Congress during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, predicting the presidency "will go down in history as one of the worst" and saying the House of Representatives is run like a "plantation" where dissenting voices are squelched.

"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," Clinton, D-N.Y., told the crowd at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem. "It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to be heard."

Speaking to a group of Hurricane Katrina evacuees in the audience, Clinton offered an apology "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." Her remarks were met with thunderous applause.

"We have a culture of corruption, we have cronyism, we have incompetence," she said. "I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country."

Republicans jumped on her and this was a blatantly racist comment

Not nasty? Doug you really need to visit her
website. While she says nothing about her opponent either way she certainly lambast anyone who supports him or any who dare question her on her agenda. I don't believe that just being silent about your opponent constitues a clean campaign when you attack their supporters.

Read some of her replies to questions and to a few who use to support her.( she list this as neo-con letters or something simular) I would think they have had a change of mind. Here you see the real "Madame Justice"instead of the one in her site introduction which has greatly changed in the past few months.

Here are a few examples of her attacks on those who support her opponent:

"Does Vernon Robinson challenge President Bush for domestic spying and the other violations of our civil rights that have occurred under this administration and this president? One would think that a former Air Force officer, who was sworn to uphold the Constitution, would do so. Not Mr. Robinson. Instead, he labels himself as the "black Jesse Helms" a man who stood for bigotry and racism, and he exhibits his intolerance for illegal aliens and homosexuals." ( Sounds like a bit of a stretch to compare what Mr. Robinson says and what she says it means.)
-----------------------------------------------
"Like a good slave, he has returned to the plantation." She goes on to call him a coward for not immediately bolting from the party.(Madame Justice speaking of Mr Robinson. Sounds like someone else who made a simular statements after Katrina)
-------------------------------------------------
Only the people in power can have their candidates in office who will vote the right way for them regardless of what we want. ( and this is what we want from an elected official ? Sounds like an agenda in the works to me)

Non-partisian, and clean? I think not.

Connie,

The problem with your Hillary Clinton comparison is that Hillary Clinton isn't running for the NC Supreme Court. Rachel Lea Hunter, on the other hand, is actively seeking a seat on our NC Supreme Court.

Maybe in New York, they tolerate such racial bigotry. In North Carolina, we do not. Racial bigotry may be Rachel Lea Hunter's values, but they are not North Carolina values.

Doug,

You state that you don't think Rachel Lea Hunter is involved in any nasty campaigning. Have you read some of the things her husband and campaign manager have been writing?

Do you consider this statement, written by Connie Mack Berry, Jr., to be polite?

"Is it true that you and Vernon have made up and sleeping with other as brokeback repub buddies?"

What about all of the other Rachel Lea Hunter campaign shenanigans?

- Claiming that Dean Smith endorsed her campaign when he did not.
- Claiming the No-OLF leader, Jennifer Alligood, endorsed her campaign when she did not.
- Making racially charged statements towards an African American Republican.
- Refusing to pay campaign expenditures regarding her website
- In trouble over using the name "Madame Justice" on the voting ballot
- Multiple NC State Bar complaints based on her campaign shenanigans.
- Rachel Lea Hunter initiated scuttle over listing her candidacy on the NCDP website

The list goes on and on and will no doubt continue to grow. Fayetteville Online called it correctly when they wrote:

"Voters expect a certain amount of gamesmanship and hyperbole in political advertising. But they do not expect it in judicial races, where candidates typically use understated, dignified advertising. That’s as it should be. Hunter’s campaign — including her Web site, which also carries advertising for other partisan political races — is anything but dignified."

I guess it depends on how you want to define nasty. You're probably right that she's crossed that line.

Doug,

How about this?

http://www.rachelforjustice.com/Demo_Furher.html

Rachel Lea Hunter, in the title headline of the above webpage, compares NC Democratic Party Chairman Jerry Meek, with a "Nazi" ... calling him the "Furher".

That is how I define "nasty". When discourse breaks down and out into a schoolyard slugfest, that is when a candidate for NC Supreme Court needs to show leadership.

This sorta stuff belongs on Jerry Springer, not the NC Supreme Court.
