The flip side for Larry Kissell?

Democratic U.S. Rep Larry Kissell has been getting hammered from both sides lately.

On the one hand, Republicans running for his seat have bashed him. So have African American activists in his 8th District, who went so far last week as to announce a write-in candidate to replace him.

But Kissell also claims the support of a group unlikely to support many Democratic candidates. The campaign features them on a web site called conservativesforkissell.com.

It includes testimonials from registered Republicans like Roddey Dowd Jr., the Charlotte industrialist who recently hosted Mitt Romney at his Charlotte Pipe and Foundry plant. "Principle always trumps convenience," Down says in a blurb on the site.

The list includes CEOs and business owners. And people like Timothy Rowe, a tax accountant from Wingate.

“I am 70 years old and have been a registered Republican my entire life and voted in every election," he says on the site. "Congressman Kissell is the first Democrat I would vote for and support financially.... I appreciate his commitment to our armed services families."

With a lot of Republicans gunning for him, and many Democrats opposing him, Kissell needs all the help he can get.

Kissell has the guts to tell it like it is and because of that I support him. Naturally the free loading welfare scum in his district have withdrawn their support because he refuses to blindly support the President. Naturally the gad-fly simps who style themselves as a "Democratic Strategist" (read as unemployed) will also turn their backs on him.

Of course the gutless race baiters are after him, he is not an Obama sycophant like they are.. That being said, he is toast this Nov and you Obama zombies can start to pick up the remnants of what will be left of your party after Obama is finishing destroying it..

These republicans are not going to vote for Larry Kissell. Democrats shouldn't either. Just let a real republican have the seat. He has no ideals that he will stick too.

Unfortunately for Kissell, a vote for him is a vote for democrats running congress again. No sane person wants Pelosi-like leaders.

LOL. When hasn't Kissell been the most vulnerable, unappreciated candidate or Congressman according to politicos and those that 'report' what odds-makers say?

Then gone on to win by 8 or ten points?

Just too bad none of these publications exist in the actual 8th, which STILL has a democratic majority.

LBJ didn't say we lost the South forever. Just until yo diddy died.

I supported Kissell in the last election. Don't know what I'll do this time. I am dissapointed that he has morphed from an everyman to such a politician.

They the go again ...
The Disturber already began pumping Pendergraphs friend who "I know I can do business with" Jennifer "Jimmy" Roberts using that photo shopped strongly touched up pic of him/her/it.
They must have spent days or months touching up that pic using the professional Adobe Super Ultra. Even Obama didnt use one that expensive to doctor up his birth certificate.

Thanks a lot. Tons of readers just lost their breakfast ...

Kissell trying to work both sides of the fence? Boy, you better come on over to the good guys and leave the dark side ...
Convert to Republican NOW !!!

There they go again.

Liberal MTVish looking grad student in Colorado who prob supports homo rights and homo marriage shoots and kills 12 and injured 50?

99% of all violent crimes are by liberals.

A liberal student killed in Tucson inc Giffords.

And Fanny Flono is mad because they wont let homosexuals in the boy scouts or as leaders?

Surely Obama who has homosexualized America and military and his trusty AG Holder will be filing a Federal lawsuit against the Boy Scouts too now...

Since they all hate the 2nd amendment and firearms for protection or sport so terribly maybe America would be much safer if firearms were banned for libs only.

Firearms are used by conservatives for protection mainly so remember that when you try to break in their homes. It could be your last endeavor we hope.

Obama going after 2nd Amendment.

Cops arrive on the scene only AFTER the crime has been committed.

All historical serial killers, serial rapists, pedophiles etc of notoriety are liberal and homosexual.
10-1 the Batman killer is a lib homo.
