James has an article up about the 5 Dems voting with the Republican party and how they are being played for dopes. Just in case you are interested in who they are, how they have voted, the committees they serve on, etc, go here. Since I couldn't copy and paste a map of NC showing the House Districts, you'll have to go here. (I hope that works.)

In the meantime, here's a little info on each that may be helpful:

Since his election many have asked why this man. Now he has a situation at a trailer park in Weaverville, NC.

Earlier this week, David Young, the chairman of the N.C. Democratic Party and the owner of the Eden Glen Mobile Home Park in Weaverville said the orange-colored water he charges residents for is safe but “not pretty.” Oh, and for those who refused to pay the bills because the water is so nasty? The people who may want a word with the park owner after their water was cut off?

“I don't manage it (the mobile home park). … I'm just an investor there,” Young told our paper.

Dear lord.

You're not just an investor, David; you're the owner, along with your wife, Leigh. It's on the legal papers.

Mr. Young can't even tell the truth about his holdings, how can we trust him with our party?

While reading on the inter-tubes today, I came across this very interesting Blog. The name is "Republican against our sorry, do-nothing North Carolina Senator, Richard Burr"! Here's a nice quote....

Our Republican Senator Richard Burr reminds me of Raleigh, North Carolina Realtors. He's an impediment to progress. It's time for him to go. North Carolina deserves better than Richard Burr.

I'd say he's 100% right, North Carolina deserves better than Burr!

Our beloved Lovex7 sent me an email and asked that I post this letter here at BlueNC. Here is part of the letter but follow this link to read it all.

As a candidate, I promised to never vote to cut Medicare. I believe promises must be kept, even when it is not easy. In keeping my promise to defend Medicare, it is impossible for me to support the current health-care bill. Though I believe in reform, it must not be achieved at the expense of senior citizens.
