We bring in one
of our all-time favorite conservative political pundits – Andy Yates of
Huntersville NC – for an exclusive USA DOT COM interview.
ANDY YATES:
A new
Rasmussen Poll shows Romney in front 51-45 in NC. This is a very strong sign. Only
50% go to the polls, and less than are 3% undecided, so NC broke for the Romney
side. This indicates that Demo convention in Charlotte had little effect on
what happens in NC. You can come here and have your big party but actually get
hurt in NC. The Democrats wanted to show how liberal they are in NC, but that doesn’t play well here. This
actually is a plus for conservatives here because it’s a good side-by-side
comparison of the two parties. Also it brings out into the open what the
feelings of the voters are on a local level, compared to what the national
Democrat Party stands for.
This isn’t the Democrat Party of Sam Ervin, it’s the
Democrat Party of the extreme liberal Far Left and I don’t think anything could
highlight that more to North Carolinians than holding their convention in our
State where they try to take God out of the platform and then rejected three
times to put God back in, and the chair finally ruled that it passed, and I
think it shows how out of touch the national Democrat Party is with North
Carolina values. I think that’s going to hurt them dearly.
What about the riveting and
treacherous events roiling the Middle East?
Obama seems
totally out of touch with the traumatic happenings in the Arab World. What’s
your take on how this will affect him? It is sad and shocking how unprepared
and weak our president is in light of this current crisis. He looks like
an eighth Algebra I student having to
take a college Calculus course. HE doesn’t seem to have a clue what’s going on
and acts like he’s frozen in place. It goes back to Jimmy Carter in the 70s –
it’s not just the economy now, it’s foreign policy.
Jimmy Carter actually
collected Obama recently on Obama’s traditional role with Egypt. Obama doesn’t
even seem at the Carter level on foreign policy, which is very scary. What’s
going on over there is very scary, and that’s made worse by our having a weak
president who seems inept and bumbling. It shows that the 4-year Barack Obama
apology tour has had little effect on the positives of the Middle East.
Finally, Andy, give us your take on
the McCrory/Dalton race for Governor.
I don’t want
people to quit working, because anything can happen at this point in the
election campaigns, but in my opinion you could stick a fork in Walter Dalton
and take him out of the oven – he’s done. McCrory has just out-classed him,
out-campaigned him, out-worked him, Barring something totally unforeseen, I
don’t see any chance at this point for a Walton Dalton victory. We’re about
seven weeks to go before the election and with a 24-hour news cycle that’s a
lot longer than it used to be.
Pat McCrory
has done an excellent job of putting out a positive message about his vision
for what he wants to do in North Carolina. He’s showing people his record of
leadership as Mayor of Charlotte, whereas all Walter Dalton can give you is a
rehash of the failed policies of Beverly Perdue. Dalton has no new original
ideas, and is not impressing anyone.
We are
seeing what people in the Charlotte area have known for a long time – Pat McCrory
is a true leader who will get things done, he’s a visionary, and I think too that
all Walter Dalton could be is a second term for Beverly Perdue, and there are
very few people in North Carolina who would want that.
QUESTION TO PONDER:
COULD OBAMA
BE LETTING THE ARAB CRISIS GO OFF THE RAILS TO ABSORB THE HEADLINES AND DIVERT
ATTENTION FROM THE JOBS AND ECONOMIC FAILURES OF HIS ADMINISTRATION?
