It looks like Billy Kennedy, the Democratic candidate for the US House seat currently occupied by Virginia Foxx of “Health care reform = terrorism” fame, is the real thing. Since he announced his candidacy, Kennedy has put together a solid organization and his campaign coffers have swollen. Now he has been formally endorsed by Blue America PAC, which has really started bringing in more campaign funds. Which means Kennedy should be getting some serious attention, and support, from his party, as long as the national Democratic organization can get it through their heads that voters aren’t really looking for a “GOP Lite” candidate, such as Waynesville’s Rep. Heath Shuler. Kennedy has a populist progressive platform dedicated to creating jobs in his unemployment-devastated district, and comes across as smart, on top of the issues, and pretty witty, to boot.
Kennedy was featured Saturday in an online chat with the progressive blog Crooks and Liars, and it’s worth giving it a listen, or reading a transcript. Kennedy was asked a lot of no-nonsense and gave some very substantive, encouraging answers.

That would be interesting because if the economy ends up really imploding when the GOP is in charge, they’ll get the blame.
The second shoe still hasnt dropped yet — the dollar collapse is still coming.
It could still be averted with a massive decrease in government –a painful and politically unpalatable solution.
A small remnant in the mostly fascist GOP are talking about drastic spending cuts. Most of them still want to keep the scams going.
Should be interesting!
I see Jim Bunning stopping the unemployment benefits spending. His rationale is off base but its good that he’s blocking it.
See the reaction from many on the left AND the right against him? He’s even getting death threats.
Thats just a taste of what will happen when the economy really implodes.
And, once again, the two rightwing nut twins use the blog of a liberal publication to debate the finer points of their own insane views. For Pete’s sake, ban Griffin. It’s high time.
Who in the hell is saying Democrats are going to lose big? Glenn Beck and those slimy serpents of hell and hatred? Who cares about those lying devils except racists and rednecks?!
Democrats are in control and will continue to be. Our President and our Mayor have done the best they could after taking over for those sorry Klansmen that were in office before! They will see another term. God bless them!
CNN is ten times more truthful than those sorry bastards over at FoxNews. I wish they would have their oxygen supply cut the hell off. Nothing but lies.
CREATIVE LOAFING: Please ban Frank Griffin’s IP address from this site. He’s nothing but a hatemonger and liar that brings no credibility or truth to any discussion here.
Fox has both sides of the story. I am sorry that you only like to hear your side of the story over and over again on the MSM.
That, of course, is yet another Frank Griffin LIE. Just watch about 2 minutes of anything on FOX news, they are either bashing Democrats, the President, or anyone who is not a Republican in general. Disgusting filth. No wonder Glenn Beck has been written off as a complete discredited psychopath. Absolutely HILARIOUS! Fox News should be called WHITE POWER TV!
