This is some good food for thought! Rep. Herseth-Sandlin is the outgoing head of the Democratic Party's economically/fiscally conservative "Blue Dog" Coalition. She will be missed, but I really think she'll be back!

Vice President Biden: "When The GOP Tells You About Fiscal Responsibility, Laugh At Them!"
I'm not saying that the majority of Democrats are necessarily better by any means, but I am SICK AND TIRED of people consistantly voting, "party line" Republican, and swearing that it's because their candidates are fiscally responsible and fiscally conservative! In North Carolina, I wish "fiscally conservative" Richard Burr supporters would REALLY look at the Senator's voting record concerning money, taxes, trade, jobs, and the economy. You can do this by going to Congress's legislative website, THOMAS (http://www.thomas.gov). If they did, Dr. Mike Beitler would be going to the Senate!

Fact Check: Mike McIntyre Has Consistently Fought to Abolish 'Death Tax'
*FROM CONGRESSMAN MCINTYRE'S CAMPAIGN STAFF:
Fact Check: McIntyre Has Consistently Fought to Abolish 'Death Tax'
Ilario Pantano's latest ad is a total distortion of Congressman Mike McIntyre's strong and consistent fight to abolish the Death Tax. Pantano is intentionally misleading the voters of Southeastern North Carolina. He is attempting to silence the voice of our family farms, senior citizens, and small businesses.
Pantano is wrong about the votes he cited. The truth is as follows:
Vote 333, 7/22/1999 -This bill would have endangered the solvency of Social Security and Medicare, which protect our senior citizens. Congressman McIntyre would never compromise the security of our senior citizens.
Vote 252, 6/9/2000 - When it appeared that the Death Tax Elimination Act, which Congressman McIntyre co-sponsored, could be defeated, he immediately voted to increase the estate tax exemption for small businesses and family farms, as well as grant a 20 percent across-the-board reduction in estate and gift taxes for EVERYONE.
(The Death Tax Elimination Act ultimately passed, but it was vetoed. Congressman McIntyre voted to override the veto.)
Vote 959, 10/10/2007 - This was a procedural motion which Congressman McIntyre opposed because it violated the provisions which are necessary to balance the budget. He insists on our federal government balancing its budget.
Vote 929, 12/3/2009 - Congressman McIntyre voted for a motion to fully repeal the estate tax. When that failed, he immediately voted for an exemption to protect our small businesses and family farms.
The organizations that represent small businesses and family farms (NFIB and the Farm Bureau) have examined Congressman McIntyre's record and recognized his longtime advocacy for eliminating the Death Tax and his strong voice for our farm families and small businesses.
Congressman McIntyre's long record of consistently fighting to abolish the Death Tax includes several additional legislative bills, a list of which follows, and which Pantano intentionally omits because he is distorting Congressman McIntyre's record:
1997 - cosponsored H.R.1299, the Family Business Protection Act of 1997, which would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide relief from estate and gift taxes.
1997 - voted for H.R. 2014, the Taxpayer Relief Act, which increases, incrementally, the unified estate and gift tax credit to $1 million by the year 2006.
1998 - cosponsored H.R. 3879, the Estate and Gift Tax Rate Reduction Act of 1998, which would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to phaseout the estate and gift taxes over a 10-year period.
1999 - voted for H.R. 3081, the Small Business Tax Fairness Act, which repealed the two highest estate tax brackets and declared that the bill would be the first step toward full repeal of the death tax.
2000 - cosponsored H.R.5315, the Death Tax Relief Now Act of 2000, which would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to reduce estate and gift tax rates, and for other purposes.
2000 - cosponsored and voted for - and against a veto threat - of H.R.8, the Death Tax Elimination Act of 2000, which would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to phaseout the estate and gift taxes over a 10-year period.
2001 - cosponsored and voted for H.R. 8, the Death Tax Elimination Act of 2001. Provisions of H.R. 8, the Death Tax Elimination Act, were included in H.R. 1836, the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act, which became Public Law 107-16 on 6/7/2001.
2002 - voted for H.R. 2143. the Permanent Death Tax Repeal Act. The Senate did not consider.
2003 - voted for HR 8, the Death Tax Repeal Permanency Act
2005 - cosponsored and voted for H.R.8, the Death Tax Repeal Permanency Act of 2005. The Senate did not consider.
2006 - voted for HR 5638, the Permanent Estate Tax Relief Act
2007 - cosponsored H.R.2380, the Death Tax Repeal Permanency Act of 2007.

The Truth About Congressman McIntyre's Voting Record
*From Congressman McIntyre's Campaign Staff:
The Truth About Mike's Voting Record
The ads issued on behalf of the Pantano campaign by the National Republican Congressional Committee are false and misleading, based on incorrect information and skewed statistics.
Similar ads across the country are being pulled down after being scrutinized by local TV stations for using deceptive and misleading statistics.
Congressman McIntyre has not voted with Speaker Nancy Pelosi 90 percent of the time. As verified by NationalJournal.com, an independent analysis of congressional votes, Congressman McIntyre votes right down the middle--as he always has done, based upon the legislation's impact upon Southeastern North Carolina.
The false 90 percent figure is an inaccurate calculation which counts procedural votes to "stack the deck" of percentages.
On the actual issues being considered for a straight "up" or "down" vote, Congressman McIntyre's votes reflect his willingness to work with folks based on the issues themselves--not partisanship.
The math is further miscalculated because Congressman McIntyre voted over 1500 times, while the Speaker only voted less than 90 times.
As reported by The Hill, a similar ad was taken down by a local ABC affiliate in Lynchburg, V.A., in U.S. Rep. Rick Boucher's race because of similar false and misleading advertising.

*UPDATED* The Public Servant Vs. The Politician - Why Mike McIntyre Is The Right Choice For All Voters!
FROM THE DESK OF AARON D. YEARGAN
October 31, 2010
The Public Servant Vs. The Politician
Congressman Mike McIntyre is a public servant that does just that - He serves his public. Ilario Pantano, on the other hand, is a politician who serves himself and Washington special interests. Representative McIntyre's long record of bipartisanship speaks for itself. Time after time, he has crossed party lines in order to do what is right for his constituency, the state of North Carolina and our nation. Because of facts like these, Mike McIntyre is the right choice on November 2nd, regardless of your party affiliation. You might ask why I believe this - it's simple, I'm not a liberal. I am a libertarian minded voter that votes all across the board and doesn't care about party affiliation. Like so many voters, I care about the issues. I support small government, free markets, Constitutional Rights and low taxes. Therefore, supporting this Democrat is the right choice.
Congressman McIntyre has consistently received an "A" rating and an endorsement from the National Rifle Association. He knows the importance of our Constitutional Rights. He also knows that free markets and small business is vital in creating jobs and restoring our economy. Regardless of what his opponent might say, it is a fact that he has constantly taken steps to lower and eliminate taxes and cut unnecessary government spending. This is evident by his voting against the Health Care Reform Act. While he realizes the great need for true, effective health care reform, he realized the enormous strain the increased taxes and spending would have on our economy, especially on all of the small business owners who are trying to create jobs. He has stated that he supports and, if reelected, will work to repeal the Health Care Mandate. Rep. McIntyre's fiscal responsibility is further demonstrated by his vote against the Cap and Trade Tax and his efforts to restrict and abolish the "Death Tax."
Another benefit of returning Congressman McIntyre to Washington is his belief in a smaller and more transparent Federal Government. This belief was demonstrated when he supported Congressman Ron Paul's "Audit The Fed" legislation. This bill would have given the American public and their representatives more "eyes on" and oversight of the Federal Reserve. Like you and I, Mike McIntyre knows the importance of being able to see where our money goes. While these facts alone are ample for someone deciding to vote for Mike McIntyre, none of them are my number one reason.
The number one reason why I am voting for the Congressman is because I am a veteran, and Mike McIntyre is a leader who cares about our nation's military, its veterans and their families. He consistently voted to raise military pay and improve veterans’ benefits such as veteran health care and the improved G.I. Bill. While he has had concerns about the current military operations in the Middle East, he has never voted to cut necessary and much needed funds from the defense budget. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, in addition to operational contingency funding and pay raises, Congressman McIntyre helped pass a budget that included a large housing allowance increase and $1.4 billion for North Carolina military construction. It has to say something about the Congressman's dedication to our service members and veterans when the VFW's political action committee, as well as the popular, highly decorated and highly respected, Former Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Charles Krulak, chose to endorse him over Pantano, an actual veteran.
Ilario Pantano tries extremely hard to present himself as a combat veteran and honest friend of the people. Like him, I was taught the importance of the Marine Corps values - Honor, Courage, and Commitment. However, Mr. Pantano must not have listened as closely at Quantico as I did at Parris Island because, instead of showing the voters of the 7th District how he would serve and assist them, he has done nothing but bend the truth and distort the facts about Congressman McIntyre's voting record. Not to mention that he's done this without offering any real solutions. Mr. Pantano, where's your Honor and Commitment? Also, while I haven't always agreed with Congressman McIntyre, he's always been honest and open about his views and record. This is very admirable, and I respect him for it. Ilario Pantano, on the other hand, has yet to be open and honest about his military and combat record. As a four-tour Iraq War veteran, I ask, Where's your Courage Mr. Pantano?
The choice is simple; Mike McIntyre is a true public servant that works for us, while Ilario Pantano is a politician who does nothing more than gives lip service to Honor, Courage, and Commitment, as well as to his would be constituency.

FROM CONGRESSMAN MIKE MCINTYRE'S CAMPAIGN:
Veterans of Foreign Wars PAC Endorses Congressman McIntyre
Posted on: September 21st, 2010
The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Political Action Committee Board of Directors has endorsed Congressman Mike McIntyre for re-election.
The VFW-PAC endorsed Congressman McIntyre because of specific legislation that he strongly supported regarding veterans rights and benefits, as well as his unyielding stance on national security issues.
As a senior member of the House Committee on Armed Services, Congressman McIntyre is a leading champion for our military veterans and retirees. He has fought for strengthened health benefits for our veterans and retirees, and the right of veterans to receive retirement pay along with disability pay. Additionally, Congressman McIntyre successfully fought for additional veterans clinics throughout the district.
Additionally, Congressman McIntyre authored the Veterans Outreach Improvement Act, which passed unanimously in the U.S. House during the 110th and 111th Sessions of Congress. The bill would allow the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to partner with state and local governments, through grant opportunities, and to reach out to veterans and their families in ensuring they receive the benefits for which they are eligible and assist them in completing their benefits claims.
Congressman McIntyre was named “National Legislator of the Year” for veterans in 2008 by the National Association of County Veterans’ Service Officers.
McIntyre Responds to Pantano’s Fabricated ‘Death Tax’ Ad
Posted on: September 17th, 2010
Congressman Mike McIntyre responded to Pantano’s fabricated ‘Death Tax’ ad by stating:
“We need to do all we can to protect small businesses and family farms, and I am 100% committed to ending the “death” tax! Since my election to Congress, I have consistently supported this repeal. What my opponent does not tell you is that I voted for a motion to eliminate the estate tax during consideration of the estate tax relief bill in 2009. Unfortunately, this motion was defeated. I voted to extend the exemption for the 2009 estate tax for the time being because at that time, the estate tax was to be repealed for one year only. When it became apparent that the repeal of the estate tax was not going to be successful, it was important to maintain the highest exemption possible.”

Don't Be Misled - Congressman McIntyre Works For NC.
Dear Friends:
You may have seen that Congressman McIntyre's opponent starting airing television commercials today that are misleading. Please help us remind voters that Congressman McIntyre's only agenda is to help the people of Southeastern North Carolina.
The Congressman's voting record, as analyzed annually by The National Journal, clearly shows that he continues to vote right down the middle because he works with folks on both sides of the aisle.
Congressman McIntyre has repeatedly demonstrated his independence by voting against some of his own party's key bills including the bank bailouts, the auto bailout and the energy tax.
It is unfortunate that the opponent's campaign has adopted negative tactics straight out of the gate by misrepresenting the truth.
Congressman McIntyre works for the people of Southeastern North Carolina - and no one else.
Please forward this message to your contacts, and encourage them to visit http://www.MikeWorksforMe.com for the truth regarding Congressman McIntyre's voting record and achievements.
Best Regards,
Justin Smith
Campaign Field Director

Rep. Mike McIntyre (NC-07) - A Democrat That Listens To His Constituents!
FYI - Congressman McIntyre is a Democrat who's Pro Small Business, Pro 2ND Amendment (He has an A+ rating from the NRA), Pro Military/Veterans (He receives continuous praise from veterans groups, including the American Legion), and Anti Regulation! He has listened to his constituents, and voted against ObamaCare as well as proposing and voting for legislation that cuts Government Spending and that holds federal agencies more accountable to the taxpayers. He is one of the few Democrats that still support H.R. 1207, Rep. Ron Paul's Audit The Fed legislation. He continues to vote against congressional pay raises. This is a man that concerned voters, regardless of party, can vote for. His opponent, however, tries to pawn himself off as a Republican that embraces libertarian ideas but is nothing more than a NeoCon in hiding with a military record that is at best, questionable.

President Obama to skip wreath laying at Arlington for Memorial Day - makes sure not to miss Paul McCartney
Some good food for thought...especially when thinking about Election Day 2010 and 2012. FYI...

Obama to skip wreath laying at Arlington for Memorial Day; makes sure not to miss Paul McCartney
POSTED AT 9:57 PM ON MAY 25, 2010 BY CASSY FIANO
Last year, Obama did his duty as Commander-in-Chief and paid his respects for the fallen at Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day. This year, he’s sending Joe Biden in his place, because he’s got more important things to do… like go to Chicago.
President Barack Obama plans to spend a long holiday weekend in Chicago.
The White House says Obama and his family will travel to their hometown on Thursday and stay through the weekend. It will be their first trip back home since a visit for Valentine’s Day weekend in February 2009.
On Monday, Obama is scheduled to participate in a Memorial Day ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Ill.
In Obama’s absence, Vice President Joe Biden will participate in the customary wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington.
As Doug Powers noted at Michelle’s blog, he won’t be missing a visit with Paul McCartney. Nice to see where his priorities lie.
Memorial Day should be a pretty big priority for the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces. The wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery is not just some arbitrary meaningless tradition. It actually means something, and Obama is just blowing it off so that he can go hang out in Chicago. I understand the desire to go home for a little while, but when you’re the president, Memorial Day ceases to be just another holiday where you get to take an extra day off for a weekend and have a barbecue. For him, he still has to work. It’s part of his responsibility as president. Blowing off paying his respects to the fallen at Arlington National Cemetery — our country’s most sacred shrine — on Memorial Day is inexcusable. It’s despicable and he does not deserve the title of Commander-in-Chief if he has this little respect for the heroes who have given their lives for their country.
If he doesn’t like it, he can always resign.
I’m curious how much golf he’ll play while he’s in Chicago.
