Here's My Local Congressional Recommendations

In 2010, I was thrilled when Renee Ellmers, a small town Registered Nurse in practice with her physician husband rode the Tea Party train to upset longtime Dummycrap/Demoncat Bob Etheridge for the second  district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.  I thought, okay, here's a real, sincere, down to Earth woman in the medical profession, who cares about conservative principles and practices, like Nobamacare.  In 2012, I went to a local conservative fund raiser in my county seat.  I told the lady behind the table that I was there primarily to get an Ellmers yard sign to post at the end of my driveway, where it would be seen by many traveling the state primary highway off of which I live and share a driveway with a very popular country Southern Baptist Church.  I also expressed my wish that I might meet the Congresswoman, to tell her how happy I was when she squeaked out her recounted victory over Dummycrap Etheridge and how much I had wished that I could've voted for her in 2010, and how pleased I was that I was going to get to do so then in 2012, as my largely conservative county had been gerrymandered into her district.   The lady behind the table said, "Well, turn around then."  I did and I was face to face and toe to toe with my new Congresswoman.  She literally threw her arms around my neck and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying all of those nice things." Then I said, "Since I have you here, let me ask you one policy question?"  She replied, "Sure."  I asked, "Where do you stand on HR 1025, The Fair Tax Act?"  She rambled some non-answer answer about how they were studying it, blah, blah, blah.  I looked her dead in the eye and said, "Your chief of staff really has that answer beat into your brain, doesn't he?"  She couldn't get away from me fast enough.
Since her reelections in 2012 and 2014, Rep. Ellmers has become just another egregious establishment drone and perhaps the Whore of the House for her alleged, worst kept Washington secret affair with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.  At least she has the taste to slut around with a big dog, rather than any rank and file flea.  It is said that McCarthy withdrew from consideration to assume the Speaker's chair, for fear of this affair really going public. 
During her 2014 campaign, her opponent, American Idol runner-up Dummycrap Clay Aiken said that he believed that she went to Washington with the best of intentions, but upon her arrival, she sold her soul to the party leadership.  I tend to agree.  Though Donald Trump endorses her, I do not.  That only raises more questions about The Donald's antiestablishmentarianism.  Ms. Ellmers ranks near the bottom, with failing grades from such conservative watchdogs as Heritage Action Scorecard and Conservative Review.     Within the North Carolina Congressional delegation, she ranks above only our two very Repulsican Senators and our three Dummycrap/Demoncat Representatives.



As for Renee's competition in Tuesday's primary, I am dismissing Dr. Greg Brannon as a two time loser in dual quests for Senate seats, who has downgraded his political ambition to the House.   Though he is an advocate for my favorite piece of proposed legislation, I see him now as just another popularity and power seeker.

As an incumbent and a lawyer, it grates on me and gets on my penultimate and last nerves to endorse George Holding to be the party nominee for the second congressional district in North Carolina. Renee is raising a hullabaloo about George not living in the district and not being able to vote for himself.  She maintains that he will be incapable of representing constituents with whom he has nothing in common.  Because of recent court ordered redistricting, as demanded and commanded by The National Association of Always Complaining People and others,  many constituents in the newly redrawn second district live in the current 13th, which Holding has been ably representing, as North Carolina's most conservative Congressman, with a 90% grade from Heritage Action Scorecard.   Obviously a more stringent grader, Conservative Review gives Holding a C, with a 75% score.  As bad as that might sound, it's a boatload better than Renee's failing F grade of 53%.
George is a native North Carolinian, which  automatically gives him as much and more identification with North Carolinians in any district than that of out of state interloper Renee, from Michigan. Raised in Raleigh, graduated from the Wake Forest School of Law, Mr. Holding was not some standard, bleeding heart liberal lawyer.  He was a tough prosecuting U.S. Attorney in eastern NC, with a strong conviction record of child pornographers, terrorists and corrupt public officials.  He holds a seat on the all important House Ways and Means Committee.  Even with her links to the party leadership, Ms. Ellmer's best and only committee assignment are Energy and Commerce, and three of its subcommittees.   George Holding will much better serve the conservative interests of the 2nd district, the state of North Carolina and the nation, as a whole than Renee Ellmers has and would. 

Now, for the sixth Congressional district, to which my county has been rightfully returned.  As a native North Carolinian/Guilford Countian, who still lives there, employed as a private sector salesman and peace officer and being a USCG veteran, Chris Hardin sounds like a good guy to represent the Sixth.  He espouses conservatism in important issues like second amendment rights.  

Though it goes against my general grain to endorse an incumbent, I'm going to urge continued support for first term Congressman, Pastor Mark Walker.   Conservative Review ranks him as one of the top 50 conservative Congressmen.  We should allow him to continue his committed campaigns for repeal of Obamacare and Dodd-Frank, for tax code overhaul, which will hopefully lead to support of the Fair Tax Act, protecting 2nd Amendment rights and the sovereign borders of the nation and supporting a strong national defense and standing up for our veterans.  As a freshman, replacing a long serving, highly respected Member, Mr. Walker landed assignments on the important and influential committees of Homeland Security, Oversight and Government Reform, and House Administration.  I will be happy and honored to vote for Representative Walker this year, as I wan't allowed to do two years ago, when my least of evils choice was randy Renee, the sellout slut.

In a final North Carolina noteworthy race, I beg and beseech North Carolinians to cast ballots for the contested Supreme Court Justice position.  This race wouldn't even be happening if one of the candidates hadn't challenged a recently enacted law that would have allowed only for a yes or no vote for or against a sitting Justice.  That law was deemed unconstitutional, opening the race to contestants to run against the incumbent.
As important as Presidential appointments to the federal Supreme Court has been shown to be in the current Presidential race, it is important for NC voters to exercise their right to vote for the Justices who sit on our state's highest court.  Hearing the much aired call to action message to vote for current Justice Bob Edmunds, to keep a conservative Repulsican on the bench, I was prepared to automatonishly endorse him, as principled conservatism is vitally important to the accurate administration of American jurisprudence.  Edmunds Thumb.jpg   But I also know that partisan politics is supposed to have no place in or bearing on decisions of legal principles.   Therefore, I thought to  endorse attorney Sabra Faires.  Faires Thumb.jpg She is an independent, unaffiliated voter, who pledges to get politics out of our highest court and to be diligent and fair in applying the law without ideological agenda.  And in her past, she has worked on the conservative side of the aisle.  But when I discovered that her endorsements are from the Charlotte Observer and the AFL-CIO,  I decided that Justice Edmunds is the better choice, as his endorsements are from ninety-five per cent of the state's high sheriffs.
So, there you have it, neighbors.  Go VOTE on Tuesday!
