Kissell Abandoned by Campaign Chair
The woman who chaired Democratic U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell’s two congressional campaigns has turned against him.
Dannie Montgomery, a teacher from Anson County who served as first vice chair of the N.C. Democratic Party, said in a news release that Kissell “has turned his back on the grassroots supporters who propelled him to office,” Jim Morrill of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Most of the bitching coming from the far left concerning Kissell is over his vote against the lack-of-health care bill. Kissell did the right thing in opposing the bill because it is a complete and utter train wreck, but this is the problem when you are dealing with ideologues. They don’t actually take the time to analyze the whole situation. People like Dannie Montgomery are just peeved that Kissell didn’t tow the party line regardless of the harm it would have caused. Apparently Montgomery and others expect Larry Kissell to walk through Congress with blinders on and be a rubber stamp for every single disaster that comes out of Congress just because it is the president’s idea. Ironically, these are the same people that attacked Robin Hayes and other Republican Congressmen around the country for doing exactly that with George Bush.

Good get. Congrats for finding out about this one. I like a blog who has connections and can find out about the insider goings on of the other party’s campaigns. I used to be in oppo research and still do a bit of it from time to time.
Keep up the good work. Your blog is excellent. I’m a lone wolf and still have a family and three households to run, which I don’t do as successfully as I’d like, do to my addiction to the cause and the blogosphere.
See you at CPAC, I hope.

WTH Terrell, my real name is Katy too.
Want my address and where I keep the key?
Kidding of course. And didn’t mean to be mean to “Katy” either.
Just saying. The Internet isn’t the 1776 Philadelphia Gazette and grown ups that want to govern us should know that. Most people not running for office have a damn good reason to not give a name and address while expressing an opinion on the Internet.
I saw you are running for office, and I’m sure it doesn’t concern you I could show up at your house tonight. That’s your choice.
But voters???
It’s our right to be anonymous.
