The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is targeting three N.C. congressmen with robo-calls over the government shutdown, including Republican Rep. Robert Pittenger of Charlotte.The DCCC began the calls Tuesday, hours after the shutdown went into effect.
"While you were sleeping, Congressman Robert Pittenger shut down the government," the calls say. "You heard that right. But even worse – Congressman Pittenger is still getting paid – and he’s not listening to our frustration. All because of his demand to take away your benefits and protect insurance company profits. Call Congressman Pittenger ... to end the shutdown."The DCCC also is targeting GOP Reps. Richard Hudson of the 8th District and George Holding of the 13th. They're among 63 Republican congressmen across the country whose districts are getting similar calls.
What's unusual about targeting Pittenger is that his 9th District is solidly Republican and has been for 60 years.
Pittenger spokesman Jamie Bowers said their offices haven't reported getting any of the robo-calls.
The DCCC did not target other N.C. members who voted to defund Obamacare, including Rep. Mike McIntyre of the 7th District. He was one of just two Democrats in the country who voted with Republicans.

Interesting....
9 Democrats also voted to stop Obamacare while we were sleeping...
They need to have these calls at three or four in the morning, using a fake voice that sounds like these House Members, saying nasty things and the like.
That is about all the Democrats have not done lately.
The Dems had their robo calls already prepared because a government shutdown is exactly what they wanted. To them it is not about the country and certainly not about compromise or a health care law that might actually work, but about beating the Republicans.
I know they had to be very disappointed with how the markets reacted to the shutdown today. Yesterday the liberal media claimed the markets went down "on the threat of a shutdown." Now today they are quiet with the news the markets went up when it was actually shut down.
The markets and our economy care much more about our out of control spending and borrowing than they do that parts of our massive federal bureaucracy might be shut down for awhile. One shockingly true thing Obama did say in his latest "divide the country" speech yesterday was that the Federal Government was the nation's largest employer. Now that IS something scary to contemplate and something the founding fathers who wanted limited government would also applaud in shutting it down.
What an idiot you are cantstanzya. Your Repub cronies got their own self into this mess by trying to stop a law that their fat cat high rollers could not live with. Then you have the tea party trying to dictate to the majority through mouth pieces like your self. Do all of us a favor and jump off a cliff and take your illogical friends with you.
Does anyone really care the government is shut down? I knos some national parks are closed, don't get me wrong I love our nations parks but the current of director of the Department of the Interior is doing a worse job than the oval office (another story) so I don't have a problem with this. I have yet to see or feel an affect, the market is doing fine. What we will feel is Obamacare when it is implemented and small businnesses across the nation shut down or lay-off b/c they can't afford it and large companies make full time employees part-time employees. Healthcare will become worse as patients will wait much longer for standard procedures and already limited resources will be overburdened.
Dag. I was sure Patrick "Skunk Boy" McHenry would have been one of the three.
Why do the Democrats need to pay for robo-calls when they've got Jim Morrill on the hook as their human fax machine?

Obama takes NO blame for shutdown even though he has overspent 8 trillion since 2009 after inheriting a 225 year old 10 trillion debt from Bush and has almost doubled it in no time.
Either Obama spends like a drunken sailor on leave or a Beverly Hills babe on Rodeo Dr or he has stashed it off shore in Caribbean Hugo Chavez S&L or Fidel Castro National.
As usual the buck does not stop in the Obama oval office and accepts NO blame whatsoever. He is of much to elitist superior intelligence and power to lower himself and grovel on the level with peasants and peon commoners.
Both sides are to blame on this.
The country is being held hostage by
both sides.Both parties have individuals who wrap them self in the
flag and pretend to love the country.
The last refuge of a scoundrel is the flag.
The lust for power,control and their
ideology far outweigh their love for the country.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/2/nsa-chief-figures-foiled-terror-plots-misleading/
So there it is. Obama and his snooping peeping tom NSA has been caught lying about the number of terror plots they have spent that 100 billion on spying mainly on 300 million citizens using the bathroom or bedroom activities etc ..
They even secretly put caneras inside tv cable boxes and track 300 million vehicles on the roads.
No surprise here since clearly the NSA caught no liberals/muslims with guns having field days massacring in Tucson, Aurora, Boston, Newtown, Benghazi, Naroibi, DC Naval Facility ...
If you want to stop all the killings and save 100 billion at the useless NSA just outlaw liberals from owning or possessing firearms (or knives)
The 2nd Amendment was never meant for angry psycho liberals.

There is a real shocker coming from WE THE GUMMINT Opoopa.
Taxations = Redistribution
Duhhhh !!!
ps instead of helping out those 40 million or more useless squatters who already get all the help they need playing the system for freebies, why not try to lower health care costs that have risen 1500% in the past 25 yrs?
These national congressional campaign committees whether Democratic or Republican are just making wAR when targeting members of Congress between elections. The congressional campaign committees should respect the rights of members to vote on issues according to their own philosophical views and should not engage in political intimidation during this constitutional process.
There is ample opportunity for candidates for Congress to make their cases to the people during election season.

Woot there it is.
Where the hell is that creepyasscracka reporter for the local yocal media Cleve Woot There It Is Wootson to report on? Where the hell is Jesse or Al or Oprah? Does she look like Obamas daughter since he half white.
UNARMED female had 200 rounds shot at her by dozens of DC cops in broad daylight and one year old baby in car.
Did this female play sports like womans soccer or softball in college? That makes a difference you know if you are guilty or innocent.
She also wrecked her car driving reckless.
Why are these 20 officers who fired 100s of shots at a 33 year old UNARMED female not charged with murder?
Agree with the last poster that she should have been shot in Charlotte Mecklenburg 100 times instead of DC and her killer cops would have been charged. Scratch that. She was white.
Unfortunately the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People would be M.I.A. plus the police chief would not have backed off this one.
Whites need to protest the NAACP since whites are colored people too. White is a color. Check your Crayola crayon box. White was the original color. Let there be light?
Where the hell is Cleve on this one? Gotta be more consistent. She was UNARMED.
To both post asking about charges
for the woman being shot in DC.
You are both stupid troublemakers.
Trying to start some racist crap.
Anyone doing what she did would get the same reaction from law enforcement
regardless of race or gender.

Innocent female unarmed possibly made a wrong turn and surrounded by 50 cops in Washington DC at the Senate Bld and apparently panicked and floored it before being shot numerous times with 50-100 shots fired or more.
Its been 24 hours since the innocent young female with her small baby was shot multiple times and no charges filed in DC?
Apparently she thought her baby was in danger so she fled and was shot dead by unnerved cops who just dealt with 12 innocent unarmed people shot dead by a liberal with a shotgun at the Naval facility a few blocks away.
At least the Washington DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier stood behind her cops who fired mutiple rounds of shots and overkilled the suspect female.
Ironically Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Monroe showed extreme weakness and did NOT stand behind his cops a few weeks ago when a drugged out boozed individual totaled his car at 2:30am and ran to strangers home blocks away and attempted to break into the home but was stopped by the alarm and 911 call.
No one knows why he didn't use his cell phone to call 911 instead of banging on a home scaring the female who was alone with a baby before charging the cops and getting shot dead. Case closed.
Obviously the female police chief Lanier in DC has much bigger balls than weak kneed wussy Monroe who was dealing with a more more volatile criminal situation.
Time to fire 2 male (homo?)laughable wussies Monroe and the DA and hire a good female police chief and female DA for CMPD and the DA dept who stand behind their officers trying to protect the community from harm.
No good deed ever goes unpunished.
Get those 2 weal male punks outta here.
good ... monroe flat out lied about his college degree has no credibility to begin with ... he trains his officers in intense situations and then shows what a douche bag he is ...
hire female chief lanier out of washington dc to be cmpd police chief ... get rid of that useless backstabber empty chair ...
pretty bad when you live in a pc society where cops are charged for doing their jobs especially when you are the police chief ... jeeze
..
monroe needs to grow a set ...
