Sue Myrick Loves her Some Ann Coulter

Over at BlueNC Gregflynn has a couple of posts up highlighting Sue Myrick's love for Ann Coulter. The first is Sue Myrick's Shrine to Ann Coulter.

I found Sue's blog last year, but haven't been back. I forgot about it in my zeal to keep Robin Hayes news front and center. Sues blog had a short life. She lacked consistency - a certain sticktuitiveness that blogging required. [In other words - you have to post more than five times in two years!]

Here are some comments from her introductory post:

Sue,you pledged that you would NOT vote for CAFTA. You signed your name to a letter to Pres. Bush stating that you were Not going to vote for CAFTA. You flat out lied to your constituents. You will not return phone calls or letters from me. My wife has worked in your office as a volunteer. We have supported you, since you got in office. This is how you treat people! Anyone reading this please go to amtacdc.org to see how Sue operarates. Sue you rank just above Mel Watt, when it comes to voting on trade issues. You are a disgrace to my district. I am very sorry I voted for someone as dishonest as yourself. Please resign and let someone honorable have your seat. Former supporter

From Sue Myrick Runs Cable TV Show we get this comment:

I wonder if Sue will talk about how she voted for many of the spending increases congress has decided to pass along to future generations?

From a post about Sue supporting fiscal responsibility we get:

Sue Myrick may support lowering taxes but that is because she wants to borrow money in lieu of taxes. Which is essentially a tax on my generation because the sytem is not equipped to handle that much debt. If you want government programs and a strong military than it is your responsibility to pay taxes for them. END OF STORY!
Every politician in Washington talks tough out of both sides of their mouth. Check out these quotes from her website http://www.payyourshare.blogspot.com/ and you will see where I am coming from.

Young Activist was 15 when she wrote this comment to Sue Myrick last year. In other words, we have 15 year olds in this country with more fiscal sense than Sue Myrick. She should be embarrassed.

In the comments of the final post, which is about meeting Sara Evans - it's a real issue oriented blog, folks - we have this award winner:

I would just like to thank you for selling out our state by voting for CAFTA. I did receive your email of explanation and, as far as I'm concerned, you are delusional if you think this bill is actually going to help our state.

As for your gubanatorial hopes, I think you might want to rethink that dream. I will be doing everything in my power to convince my friends to vote AGAINST you.

That's right folks. Sue breaks promises. She lies. She embraces homophobes like Ann Coulter.

And.......

She might just have some FEC financial reporting issues. Check out Gregflynn's latest post.

PS.....Don't worry about these blog pages and comments disappearing after the Myrick camp finds out we're enjoying them so much. We've archived them. They aren't going anywhere.

Sue Myrick Bitch Slaps Robert Pittenger

Jim Morrill from The Charlotte Observer got a chance to step outside his typical dry political world and write about something juicy. I'm not going to give it all away, so you will have to go read it yourself.

Gist for the mill: Sue Myrick is in for 2008. She blames Robert Pittenger for spreading a rumor that she was not going to run. Sue no likey Robert Pittenger anymore and it looks like another man is involved. Oooh, a political menage a trois.

In a rare public rebuff, U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick Tuesday severed ties with fellow Charlotte Republican and longtime supporter Robert Pittenger.

Myrick told Pittenger, a state senator, that she was kicking him off her congressional finance committee and asked him to remove her picture from a Web site.

"I no longer think it appropriate for you to have a part in the strategic direction of my political future," she wrote.

:::snip:::

In her letter to Pittenger, Myrick said she had heard "from numerous sources" that the two of them had "cut a deal" where Myrick would run for governor and endorse Pittenger for her congressional seat.

"I am not going to run for governor and I am not going to support you for Congress," she wrote.

What does Pittenger have to say and where does he place the blame for this development? You'll have to read the Observer. I can't give away all the juicy stuff Jim worked so hard to ferret out.

Is Sue Myrick Retiring?

A friend nudged me in the direction of a Charlotte Observer rumor mill piece printed yesterday that tossed the idea in the air that Pat McCrory might run for Sue Myrick's seat if she retires. Funny, we were having that discussion here way back at the end of November.

State Sen. Robert Pittenger, according to the Observer, has already made it known that he would run for Myrick's seat if she vacates it. With all this rumor mongering by the Observer it does lead me to believe something is up with Sue. Maybe she isn't well enough to continue serving, or maybe she does plan to run for Dole's seat.

I've also heard through the grapevine that McCrory might consider a run for Lt. Governor, but I'm not sure I see that. McCrory's not a bad guy for a Republican, but my fear is that he would get to Washington and step in line with all the other wingers. I know Pittenger would.

There's no suspense over who will be throwing his hat in the ring for a possible run against the Republican nominee. Bill Glass has announced he will run again in 2008. I haven't heard any rumors as to whether there are any other Democrats wanting a chance at this seat.

It's probably going to be a while before we find out.
