I wish Mr. Adams was stronger in his answer. That's one of the few strong stances that Current NCGOP chairman, Linda Daves took. We raised a ton of money out of it. But we didn't do it for the money. We did it because it was right. Why should we shy away when the Rev. Wright was so very WRONG? I'm proud of Mrs. Daves and her team for producing that ad. I know who did it and it still pumps me up! I only wish it had run more. I have satellite, not cable, so I didn't get to see it. The Rev Wright DID say those things, and he WAS Obama's pastor at the time. Obama didn't move away from them until he absolutely HAD to. Thanks for a great question. I love question number 1. I wish Mr. Adams was stronger in his answer.

After being here nine years, I am still learning NC politics but I can still tell a non-answer. In my opinion, Mr. Adams may exemplify what is not only wrong with NC Republican Party but the RNC in general. I didn’t feel one rock solid answer except the one word marijuana answer, “No”. Republicans need to stand up and clearly and logically express their position. Right or wrong; take a stand. Don’t just tell people what you think they want to hear. If we just wanted candidates that mimicked the party line, we’d get a parrot. No candidate, verbatim, can possibly agree with everything. Even with my conservative background the platform statement, “Homosexual behavior is not normal” is an example of a party position I disagree with. I don’t expect anyone to go ballistic over it. I can explain my position because I have never seen or heard of any study that could support that statement. Maybe you can persuade me otherwise. And no, I’m not gay ask my wife & four kids. As long as candidates can sincerely explain their position, they will earn the respect of Republicans and all the voting public at large. Keep watching those pole numbers about independent voters. They are the ones that are disillusioned because they don’t see a difference between a Republican and a Democrat. Those are the voters looking for genuine candidates who can bring the changes they want. Sound familiar? It may be my imagination, but I thought I heard Randy Travis singing “On The Other Hand”.
