Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of David Miner. But Nelson Dollars campaign against him is the dirtiest I have heard in years. Accusing Miner as the only Republican who failed to support a ban on incentives for those filming dirty movies in NC!! It would be funny if it wasn't so serious.
But that is what you can expect from Dollar who is reputed to be the mastermind behind Ernie's campaign. His attack on Miner assumes that most voters are fools...well then again he convinced a lot of people in Cary that we were going bankrupt without much evidence to the contrary.
And where is Dollar getting all that money for those incessant radio commercials? Could it be his reward from the developers and realtors for putting Ernie in office? Interesting...Miner is one of the biggest fund raisers around and gets his money from many of the same sources.
In the bacground is a chorus of candidates competing on the basis of who can say CONSERVATIVE louder and more often. Just what are they conserving? Most likely the profits of the special interests they represent.
I am enjoying the show..a farce..but if I was qualified to vote in the Republican Primary I would vote for Miner.

That alone would be justification for reasonable people to vote for Dollar.
If I were a GOP'er I'd vote Dollar just to get one more irritant to leftwing extremists in the Legislature.
When You're right, you're right stan. Miner being the ONLY Republican to support incentives to porno-producers IS serious.
I'm voting for Nelson Dollar. Miner has been there too long and it's time for a change. You vote how you wanna, but the biggest thing I like about Nelson is that I don't have to wonder what he thinks. I/we already know where he stands. I can't say that about Miner. Nelson I believe to be a "true" republican and yes, very conservative. I can't say that about Miner either.
I also respect someone who takes Cary to court over a BS propaganda campaign initiated by incumbant council members looking to remain in office another 4 years.

From what I've seen, David Miner has gotten to the point where he ignores his constituents. Rather than take a stand on an issue when asked, he just ignores the question and the groups that invite him.
Nelson Dollar has shown up for group events and candidate forums, and he will tell you where he stands on the issue and backs that up with his actions.
David Miner doesn't need to buy radio ads, he can afford TV ads on major local stations.

Maybe so, but at least Nelson will show up for votes and return phone calls. That alone is reason to prefer him over Miner.
Miner may have reason now not to talk to me but that doesn't explain the previous dozen or so instances over the last few years where he couldn't be bothered to return a phone call or an email.

He's still mad at you for not hooking him up with a billboard or airplane banner. :wink:

I have heard this same complaint from others who tried to contact Miner. You are in plenty of good company, Don.

Stan is a master at slipping a little dagger in with the
oatmeal. That old habit he learned at Langs knee about
painting people with a broad brush and pretending
they are all joined at the hip is a hard habit to break.
THIS RACE IS IMPORTANT! GET OUT AND VOTE!!

Rono,
Yeah, I got a kick outa Miner splicing the President speaking into his telephone solicitation as if W were supporting him the GOP Primary.
That's pretty slimey.
Cary has had some pretty risque campaign stunts the past two elections.
Dollar wins 3597 to 2001 with 24 of 25 pcts counted!

Shiney Don,
Think we'll have Miner on Carypolitics for the next three months whinning about the election results and attacking his successor in the Cary News?
:twisted:
Talk about landslide. This shows how unhappy the GOP is with Miner. Maybe he shoulda changed to Dem and ran in that primary? :wink:

No...he's too far above all of us 'citizens' to speak to us, even if he did lose.
Don
You might think the GOP was unhappy with Miner, but when we get the break out precinct by precinct. you are going to see that the outlying areas had a better percentage turn out and that Dollar carried these in far greater percentages. And all because of one issue....ANNEXATION

Looking at the precinct stuff, I dont think anyone was happy with Miner. He only carried one precinct, and it was not his home precinct. What will be intresting is to watch him over the next 6 months. Lame Duck that is probably pretty pissed off at his party right now. Its a good thing he is only one vote.

It was a team effort and the unincorporated areas spoke loud and clear. This was also indeed the GOP faithful speaking that a change was required to hand this House seat back to the people. This was also a diect reflection of the grassroots efoorts of the Western Wake Republican Club, which comprises of Republicans and Unaffiliated citizens.

The one thing I did find strange is that Mr. Miner choose to take several weeks off at Rehoboth Beach, Deleware. What is wrong with the Beaches here in N.C.?
It couldn't possible be......

It's always interesting to me to see how often loosers in a political campaign will claim to be standing for such high minded ideals then in the next breath claim their opponents won only by being sleazy.
Really?
I wonder if perhaps people didn't vote against him simply because of his voting record, when he bothered to show up to vote, his near complete unresponsiveness to his constitutents, and from the article I would assume his offensive arrogance.

How many unaffiliated citizens are members of WWGOP?

There was an interesting LTE in the N&O today in response to Ruth's column. Apparently, during the re-districting, Mr. Miner picked up the good citizens of "Swift Creek" area. For years, these good people have been trying to get incorporated into the "Village of Swift Creek." Mr. Minor was their major obstruction. I wonder if their dream will become reality?
