It's a statistical fact. But, since when do republiturds care anything about facts? If you love America, vote Democratic!

Darn....That is pretty close to being as bad as "If you like your insurance plan, you can keep your insurance".

It should read "If your love America and want to keep all your FREE benefits, vote DUMBCRATS!

cutting taxes has put the State Budget in peril of being short on cash to run the Government as needed... but keep cutting those taxes and those who need roads repaired due to pot holes and clean up of rivers due to ash from ponds spilling in...oh wait Duke will pay for it as long as Tax Payers pay for it along side...hmmm unemployment benefits cut meant for many families having to get DSS....and no new jobs created here in Wilkes for many blue collar workers has put them going out of the county to find jobs....oh yes the economy is flailing...remember that when the recession started 700 thousand plus jobs were lost...true under 150 thousand has been created but its how many months of job growth?.... so scream about NC being in good shape when it comes to needing services and the state says no money than you can scratch your head and say HUH!!!!!

The economy is on life support at best. But thanks to the republicans cutting taxes and ending unemployment hand outs, I think NC is in good position for next spring.

pantera - same here. I don't know what formulas they are using, but they definitely don't represent everyday life.

The economy has improved for the wealthiest 1%. They have claimed 95% of all wealth gained under Obama and hagan. There is a reason the economy remains the number one concern for Americans. They can say what they want but families are struggling to make ends meet.

So why are all the Democrats candidates keeping their distance from your Messiah?

Today's report shows greater near-term healing and momentum, reducing the downside risks and leaving us comfortable with our forecast for above 3.0 percent growth through next year," said Michelle Meyer, a senior economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York.

Despite the pickup, growth in the first half of the year badly lagged the economy's estimated 2 percent to 2.5 percent potential, a reminder that the nation's recovery from the worst recession since the 1930s remains the slowest on record.

They'd sweep that under the rug if they could, and don't worry they'll try.

Obama said his policies are on.the ballot. Well, they are obviously working. Could this be the final nail in the coffin of Tillis and other Repubs hopes of being elected?
