Despite overwhelming support for voter identification laws amongst North Carolina residents, in 2011 legislators were unable to override Governor Perdue’s veto of a bill that would require proof of identity in order to vote. Opponents of voter id laws claim that they aren’t necessary and place unnecessary barriers on the right to vote. Some deny […]
In what is fast becoming a depressing trend, the dismal state that Democrats have made of our state’s political scene is once again attracting national attention. This time around it’s Tar Heel voter fraud, exposed in devastating fashion by video journalist James O’Keefe and crew at Project Veritas. This from Breitbart’s Big Government: In the […]
Running with the hoops sports analogy, the latest from Public Policy Polling has former Charlotte mayor Pat McCrory up three buckets – six points, 46-40 – over Democrat Walter Dalton in the race for governor. I’ve long held that this election isn’t for Democrats to win, but rather for McCrory to lose. Thought the same […]

I started this blog to support conservative candidates and push for conservative principles. If I did not think Ric Killian was the hands down best choice in this race, I would not have written this piece. If you step back and take an objective look at the maelstrom that has become the Republican primary for […]
With polls showing opposition to Amendment One gaining marginal ground and support slipping, both sides are ramping up their messaging efforts with TV ad buys leading into the May 8 vote. This from Public Policy Polling: This is the lowest level of support PPP has found in monthly polling of the amendment since last October. […]
North Carolina Democrats find themselves awash in turmoil swirling around allegations that the party’s executive director sexually harassed a 26-year-old male staffer, an incident that officials originally hoped could have been swept under the rug with a financial payoff and a nondisclosure agreement to keep everybody quiet.
