Is Billo going to show up now and scream that Hagan should be more like Asian-Americans?

If she was good at math, that would mean she’s a witch. Right, GOP?

Tillis would prefer to keep the poor poor…very poor. And the coddle the wealthy and looks the other way for polluters. Besides that, he doesn’t like poor and minority voters and wants to keep teachers in line so they don’t make a livable wage.

Well, they know how to shut ‘that shit’ down…other than that, they should know how to bring me my pie!

Tillis goes on to say that Hagan voted for “$7 trillion in debt”…

…huh?

I hope Sen. Hagan will repackage this and cast Tillis as a poor sufferer of ODS.

“Kay wrote state budgets and she knows how these numbers work,” said Sadie Weiner, the Hagan Campaign Communications Director.

What a great job denying the charge that your female candidate can’t do math, swing state Senate campaign Communications Director Sadie Weiner.

Reminds me of this gem of political communication from LBJ:

There is a story in politics, commonly attributed to Lyndon B. Johnson, about how LBJ wanted to circulate a rumor attacking his opponent in a Texas election. Johnson, it’s said, wanted to spread the story that his opponent liked to have sex with barnyard animals.

One of LBJ’s aides said, “We can’t prove he’s a pig f*cker.”

“I know that,” replied Johnson. “I just want to hear him deny it.”

Of course, Tillis funded his “7% pay raise for teachers” with, among other things, an 80% cut in funding for text books. Because, after all, who needs books, anyway?

I dunno, it sounds like Mr. Tillis’ grasp of math is a bit weak. Here’s a chart on the deficit and somehow it doesn’t follow that we’ve added 7 Trillion to our debt as Tillis claims.

You seem to be operating under the liberal delusion that Obama didn’t cause all the deficits that occurred under Bush.
