"So when I went to a TEA party rally and saw a bumper sticker that said "DO NOT RE-NIG IN 2012" thats not racist? The "reward" you are referring to was for one specific event. Not racism in general. I could record my aunt one night and claim that reward in a minute." vinylcarwraps23

Picture? Proof? Nah, didn't think so. - 4Strikes

Yes I have a picture. Anyway you can send me your email or number and Ill send it to you. Of course i took a picture of that!!!!

4STRIKES.....when will the GOP abolsih the tyranny of not being able to buy alcohol before noon on Sunday? Im glad they know when its best for people to tan, what terminal cancer patients can put in their own body to feel better, when a nip is appropiate. Nevermind. You are nothing but a misinformed partisan hack.

One party wants to disarm law abiding citizens, one wants to abide by the constitution. - 4STRIKES

You voted for Romney a REPUBLICAN who actaully signed an assault weapons ban. LOL

You forgot, one party wants to control every aspect of people lives, right down to making all of their healthcare decisions for them. The other beleives in freedom. - 4STRIKES

This is hilarious. Which party in NC is banning tanning, a plant, and areolas?

Why is it OK for republicans to pull any dirty trick and tell any lie they want but just let Democrats even talk about doing it and the republicans start having heart attacks. Get over yourselves.

4strikes - appropriate tag. You missed on all 4 statements.

I'm a Democrat, but there is an ugly element in the party that has to hide its intentions and actions. At one time, Democrats held the moral high ground, I think, but no more. We're a dirty little bunch of ruthless politicians, no better than republicans.

The real culprits are we sheepish voters who don't read/watch varied enough political views and vote uninformed for the party rather than the person or the position.

All in all, we have better government than we deserve. Thank investigative reporting for that.

"The only tangible difference is which segments of the population the parties want the spending and taxing to shoulder the burden." happymom

You forgot, one party wants to control every aspect of people lives, right down to making all of their healthcare decisions for them. The other beleives in freedom. One party wants to disarm law abiding citizens, one wants to abide by the constitution. One wants to allow full and easy access to abortion and make the taxpayers pay for it even if they find it morally wrong, one doesn't....Are those differences tangible in your book or is that just trivial to you?

"there have always been heated debates in this country. The problem is only the average citizens are polarized. The two parties aren't actually all that different. They need each other. They are both all about taxing and spending. It's a distraction and a charade and it works very well."

I agree. I've said something similar many times. The only tangible difference is which segments of the population the parties want the spending and taxing to shoulder the burden.

The polarization is happening in the populace. Liberals and conservatives demonize each other. I can disagree with a person's politics and still see him or her as a good person. It's only when we can really listen to one another that we can make a change. Unfortunately, no one seems to be willing to do that anymore.

"The most offensive part of this whole circus is that ANY groups like these (lib or con) receive taxpayer funding! I truly appreciate freedom of speech in America, but since when does public money need to be used to 'support' it? I don't expect NC to pay for me to say what I already have the right to say. I certainly don't expect to give public money to groups that want to amplify what they say by using taxpayer money." - pause to consider

Indeed. All my life, I have witnessed tax-exempt churches spending money and organizing political demonstrations in brazen disregard for 501-c3 laws which allow their tax-exempt status. I watched it with my own eyes in downtown Raleigh just weeks ago.

Out of thanks and respect for the very good things these churches do in our community, I will not name names - but I could. My point is: failure to enforce c3 and c4 laws emboldens extremists (of all political persuasions) to flaunt those laws. Consider the Westboro Baptist church case.
