Re: Bob Etheridge, Repeat Offender
And then there was this incident last year at a quasi-town hall meeting (hosted by the local chapter of the SEIU) in which a military veteran challenges Etheridge on his support for the Obama agenda.

It shows that if any congressman has been in Washington too long, it’s Etheridge. Note how those applauding the vet are in the back of the room, while the SEIUers taking up the front seats sit on their hands.

He is like that Assistant Principal in High School we all disliked. Come to think of it, his pre-Congress career was in education.

The guy's an arrogant bully and a jerk, figured the Unions owned him.
I hope the good folks of North Carolina jettison has sorry ass in November.

Unfortunately, he represents the best of what our state has to offer at this time. Pathetic, isn't it?
Wally| 6.18.10 @ 7:33PM
C'mon, Duane--you can do better than this lush!
You insult the good folks of North Carolina.

The majority of the voters in this state have been voting in democrats (mostly) for as long as i can remember. They even re-elected a guy who bribed a republican to switch parties, after that guy pled guilty to accepting the bribe. I have no illusions about their stupidity.

This guy should be thrown out of Congress. It's a shame and disgrace he's allowed to stay. He's a bully and a creep. I say it as a Democrat: the man must go, and if what he did to that boy last week constitutes assault, which it looked like to me, he should be prosecuted.

I'd love to see him grab one of those Marine's arm and say WHO ARE YOU?; and thereafter see that Marine take hold of his arm and shove it WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE!!!!!!!!!!
