actually, being your only lj friend from NC ( i think?) i feel i must stick up for the old fart... im very non-political, very very much so, and people may not agree with him all the time, but you have to keep in mind that the people are the ones who vote the senate in... and you cant blame that on dumb redneck southern people because some crazy number like 75% of the population in the last 20 years are relocated yankees from ny state who have moved down with IBM into the RTP... so seeing as i have no care at all in what his policies are, or any politician for that matter, (i am the laziest anarchist youll ever meet, im too lazy to even care enough to hate the government!) he must have done something right to get that many of the votes to keep him in those many years... and actually hes a really sweet guy if you ever meet him...

haha!! im serious!!!
