Burr's plausible deniability

When you don't have the balls to say it yourself, get someone else to say it for you:
Republican Sen. Richard Burr likes to stay away from the hot button social issues, stressing economic issues when he is campaigning. So when he traveled to Greenville over the weekend, it was up to Congressman Walter Jones of Farmville, a favorite of social conservatives, to remind voters that Burr opposes abortion and opposes same sex marriage.
Introducing him at a rally at the Pitt County Courthouse on Saturday, Jones said that Burr “believes as you believe and I believe that a marriage is between a man and a woman.”
“He shares my belief that a child is a gift from God and that ought to be part of the debate – protecting God's gift to women,” Jones said.
Re: Walter Jones
Just when I start thinking he might be a barely-acceptable convert to the Democratic Party, he shows me how he isn't.

How do these elected officials address the ethical issue of their signing the Contract with America and yet they are still in office many years later?
They believe in term limits only if they can force it on everyone?
What is a contract?
Shhhhhhh!!!
Nobody wants them to remember their term limits pledges from the 1990s.
You can add Sue Myrick to that list, and quite a few state legislators in Raleigh (Debbie Clary comes to mind).
Perhaps those contracts they signed were sold to hedge funds, divided, not notarized, sold again and again, traded away for nothing?
Burr, Walter Jones, Foxx
So any discussion of a new "contract" is really a joke??
I can't imagine why you'd think that
Maybe Bank of America will freeze all of those "contracts" as well.
Who needs rule of law when you can have rule by oligarchs?
A bad joke
Unfortunately, the voting public will sometimes laugh at anything.
