Sue Myrick has a way of standing for the people. If she says it she stands by it.
Fern Shubert (sp) NC House is also one to hold firm on her beliefs.
We have a new Candidate in NC runnig for Govenor Bill Graham. He is talking the people talk. I pray he walks the peoples walk. He is our only hope to rid ourselved of Easy --I mean Easily.

No, we don't have any honest officials any more. Washington DC is run by money and our elected officials have sold us out. That is the main reason our forefathers gave us the second amendment.

They are called "issue" candidates, and are very rare. Typically well meaning, actually patriotic citizens who got into politics for exactly the reasons they tell people they got into politics.
They typically are also called "one termers" refering to the fact that they seldom choose to remain in Washington.

Isn't that an oxymoron?
Honest politician
And dude - Russ F. ain't gonna run - he got a DUI just two short years ago. That was political suicide for him. . .

Yes, I think the answer is Ron Paul. Did you notice how his own party wouldn't even let him answer any questions? I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to run on the independent ticket. He will definitely get my vote.
