Over 4.5 million North Carolinians voted in the 2012 general election on Tuesday, November 6, and those voters made a number of important decisions. This article gives a brief overview of what happened with some discussion of the implications of the election results.

President

President Barack Obama was reelected nationally although former Governor Mitt Romney carried North Carolina by 50% to 48%.

Congressional Delegation

Eight incumbents were reelected.

Republicans

• Renee Elmers (2nd CD)
• Walter Jones (3rd CD)
• Virginia Foxx (5th CD)
• Howard Coble (6th CD)
• Patrick McHenry (10th CD)

Democrats

• GK Butterfield (1st CD)
• David Price (4th CD)
• Mel Watt (13th CD)

New members are marketing consultant and former Congressional staffer Richard Hudson (R-8th CD), who defeated incumbent Democrat Larry Kissell; former State Senator Robert Pittenger (R-9th CD); businessman Mark Meadows (R-11th CD); and former US Attorney George Holding (R-13th CD).

Incumbent Mike McIntyre (D) holds a 507 vote margin over State Senator David Rouzer (R) in the 7th district race. A number of ballots are yet to be counted.

Prior to the election, Democrats held a 7 to 6 margin in the State’s US House delegation. After the election, the Republicans will hold a majority of at least 9 to 4.

Governor Former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory (R) defeated Lt. Governor Walter Dalton (D) with 55% of the vote. McCrory is moving aggressively on his transition with a press conference in Charlotte on Wednesday, November 7 and a trip to Raleigh on Thursday, November 8 to meet with Governor Beverly Perdue and to begin work on his transition to office. He will be sworn in on January 12.

Lt. Governor In a close race, Raleigh businessman Dan Forest (R) leads former State legislator and State Personnel Director Linda Coleman (D) by about 11,000 votes. Forest has served as a senior partner in an architectural firm and is a graduate of UNC-Charlotte. He is the son of Congresswoman Sue Myrick of Charlotte. This race may be headed for a recount.

Council of State Eight incumbents were elected to Council of State offices

.

Democrats reelected were Attorney General Roy Cooper, Auditor Beth Wood, Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson and Treasurer Janet Cowell.

Republicans reelected were Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler and Commissioner of Labor Cherie Berry.

General Assembly The Republicans increased their majorities in both houses of the Legislature. 

It appears that their margin will grow by 1 in the Senate to 32 to 18 (this margin assumes that Democratic Senator Stan White will hold on to a slim lead in his race) and will grow by 9 in the House to 77 to 43. The General Assembly meets for an organizational session on January 9 and reconvenes for a regular session on January 30. Prior to that time, various important study committees are working on bills that will be introduced next year.

Key Legislative leaders have already indicated that a number of issues will get attention in 2013. Some, such as regulatory reform and increasing energy exploration, build on efforts from the prior two years, while others, such as tax modernization, will get new emphasis.

Senator Bob Rucho (R-Mecklenburg), Co-Chair of the Finance Committee, has been discussing tax modernization for months and speaking favorably about reducing or eliminating both the corporate and personal income tax with some corresponding adjustments in the State sales tax (for example, broadening its coverage to more services) and eliminating various economic incentives. Many observers believe that a tax modernization bill will be introduced when the General Assembly reconvenes in January. Governor-elect McCrory has also indicated that rewriting the State tax code is on his agenda.

Other issues that will likely get attention in 2013 are the unemployment insurance fund, Medicaid reform, education, transportation and privatization of additional State services.

Supreme Court and Court of Appeals Supreme Court Justice Paul Newby (R) was reelected in a close race over Court of Appeals Judge Jim Ervin (D). Two Democratic incumbents were reelected to the Court of Appeals - Wanda Bryant and Linda McGee - while incumbent Democrat Cressie Thigpen was defeated by Raleigh lawyer Chris Dillion (R).

Petraeus too hot -- he's out. But can he -- will he -- talk?

Verne Strickland / November 14, 2012

November 13, 2012  Matthew Vadum 

As the scandal regarding the Obama administration’s deadly bungling in Benghazi, Libya, begins to heat up, suddenly CIA director David Petraeus is out, felled by his own sex scandal.

Complicating matters further, Ronald Kessler reports at Newsmax that “Senior FBI officials suppressed disclosure of the highly sensitive case, apparently to avoid embarrassment to Obama during his re-election campaign.”

Congressman Peter T. King (R-N.Y.), who is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that the details of the Petraeus situation that have been reported by the media so far don’t make sense.

“It seems this [investigation] has been going on for several months, and yet now it appears that they’re saying the FBI did not realize until Election Day that Gen. Petraeus was involved. It just doesn’t add up,” said King.

According to the administration, the Petraeus resignation makes the ex-CIA chief unavailable to testify in Congress this week about what the administration knew and when it knew it. Acting CIA director Michael Morrell is now expected to testify Thursday before the House and Senate intelligence committees behind closed doors.

Congressman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee’s panel on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, said Petraeus’s resignation ultimately won’t prevent Congress from compelling his testimony

“The fact that he’s resigned and had an affair has nothing to do with whether he will be subpoenaed to Congress. I hope we don’t have to subpoena a four star general and a former CIA director. I would hope he would come voluntarily but if he won’t he will be subpoenaed. But there is no way we can get to the bottom of Benghazi without David Petraeus.”

The knives have apparently been out for Petraeus for a while. In a story that may have been planted by the Obama White House, Fox News reported earlier this month that the CIA did almost nothing while the consulate was in flames. Anonymous officials also told the Wall Street Journal that the CIA failed to provide adequate security at the mission. The CIA replied that its personnel were involved in repelling the attack.

Petraeus is the highly respected Army general who commanded the successful “surge” that helped to turn around the war in Iraq. As the nation searches for answers about the Sept. 11 atrocities in Benghazi, this war hero has been made to fall on his sword, conveniently disposed of to protect the president.

Leftists won’t lose sleep over Petraeus’s ouster because they already despise him. MoveOn published a full-page ad in the New York Times in 2007 accusing the then-general of “cooking the books for the White House” to justify President George W. Bush’s invasion and occupation of Iraq. The ad labeled Petraeus “General Betray Us.” The message prompted an unusual official rebuke from the U.S. Senate, which voted 72 to 25 to condemn the offensive ad. To no one’s surprise, then-Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden missed the vote.

It was reported last week that the married Petraeus had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, and suddenly Democrats, whose party stands for abortion-on-demand and free condoms, are outraged. (There is also talk that Petraeus may have been involved with another woman not his wife.) As Robert Spencer noted, Obama and his party care nothing about sexual improprieties.

In fact it can be argued that among his fellow Democrats such behaviors can be resume-builders. (See Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Ted Kennedy, Eliot Spitzer, and recently, Bob Menendez.)

ALERT: Mere recounts will NOT detect the massive election fraud that returned Obama to office.

Verne Strickland Blogmaster / November 13, 2012

 

 

 

 

Obama didn't win office. He stole it.

 November 12th, 2012  

Unthinkable, unimaginable. Unheard of! Yet oh so verifiable.

 With great calculation and malice aforethought, the 2012 United States Elections were ruthlessly stolen from the American people – principally, invisibly!

Sure, there were ineligible voters. Voters who voted multiple times. Ballots destroyed, ballots replaced. Yada yada yada – same old nasty tricks that have occurred for centuries.

But in 2012 [and likely 2008 as well], the main crime scene? The inner workings of the voting machines.

With hacker code in place to ‘flip’ Romney [and other Republican candidates] votes AFTER the screen transaction cleared, their massive vote theft was not only stealth, it was highly effective – for it spewed results that ‘covered up’ the crime.

The code not only stole votes, it digitally altered turnout statistics. And voter ethnicities.

Making their audacious theft oh-so-explainable. “The Dems ran a better ground game.” “The Republican candidates were lackluster.” And so on and so on.

Once the polls closed, hacker code was quietly, triumphantly removed.

That’s why the 2012 Election Results were so puzzling.

Even my firewood guy, who rarely watches the news, has this figured out. At this point, from what I have assessed, it is my sense that in the Presidential Election, a good 15-17 million votes were stolen from Governor Romney.

Hard cold evidence may well reveal that this time around, in Truth, “BHOII” barely got 45 million actual votes.

That’s how much crime they needed to effect, to secure an “Obama” ‘win’.

So, rather than demand recounts, demand Forensic Investigation of the voting machines, accompanied by certified CPA Audits of the voters / votes cast.

If you don’t, you’ll miss the BIG crime stats.

Which is the only way we’ll put these creeps exactly where they belong.

  What really NEEDS to HAPPEN, is that the “National Election??” should be declared NULL and VOID and a RE-Run be DEMANDED by “WE the People”!!
  The problem is that locating enough HONEST Law Enforcement, Elections Officials and personnel to secure NON-Tampered with, correctly operating Voting Equipment, Polling-Place Monitors, e.t.c. that would secure a “FAIR and HONEST???” Election is a Daunting “MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!”
  “Voter Fraud and Tampering” has been the norm for years, and how to correct the situation is a Mystery!?

  We would then only require a re-vote. and all votes must require id verification. go off of the past registration numbers and if not on it… no vote… period. No ID, no vote, no food stamps, no SS as well.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein on Petraeus affair: 'We should have been told.'

Verne Strickland / Nov. 12, 2012

Last week’s resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus after it was revealed that he had an extramarital affair has sparked many questions. One of those pressing issues is whether or not he will be called to testify at a hearing about the attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans.
Chris Wallace sat down for an exclusive interview with Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on Fox News Sunday.

Sen. Feinstein told Wallace that it’s up to the committee, but the first hearing will go on as scheduled before they make that decision. Feinstein also said she didn’t think President Obama should’ve accepted Petraeus’ resignation at first, but as more details came to light, she now says he did the right thing.


Wallace asked her about the revelation that the affair was discovered by the FBI after they found threatening messages the mistress, Paula Broadwell, was sending to a woman whom she regarded as a threat to her relationship with Petraeus. Feinstein commented, “I just hate to discuss it, except to say there are a number of things that one has to consider. The first of which, was there any kind of national security breach. To date, there was not.”

She doesn’t believe there is a link between the resignation and Benghazi. Sen. Feinstein says she was never told by the FBI or the administration that there was an investigation into Petraeus going on, and that she first heard about it from inquiries by the media. Feinstein said, “We received no advanced notice. It was like a lightning bolt.” She added, “We should have been told.”

As a senator and the chairwoman, Feinstein said she’s most concerned about the hundreds of pages of information that indicated the personnel in Benghazi were not properly protected and why those warnings were not heeded.

Prominent Journalist and Savage Gossip   November 12, 2012

YES, FINALLY WE GET THE EXCLUSIVE STORY ON THAT EMBASSY MESS. REMEMBER, YOU  SAW IT FIRST RIGHT HERE. AND HERE'S WHAT YOU SAW, FROM OUR PERSONAL INTERVIEW WITH THE PRESIDENT HISSELF:

• I can’t even spell Bengozzy. So how could I know what happened there?

•  I do not think my pal Joe Biden, chuckles too much. We just have a lot to be happy about. 

• I do not think Mitt Romney has a whole bunch of wives. That kind of thing only happens in places like Kenya. And maybe Chicago.

• Michelle will not wear no expensive new dress to my inauguration. She actually will wear an expensive old dress – the one Dolly Parton wore to a previous coronation. Oh . . . was it Dolly Madison? Whatever. 

•  I am inclusive in my beliefs, whatever that means. I think gays should be able to hit on the president. Just not on the First Lady. Not while I’m the big boy in the White House. Y’all got that?

• I can cry too, just like John Boehner. And I do – but never in private.

• If we had called it “Baracko” Care, we wouldn’t have had so much trouble with it. I said that to the Secretary of Agriculture. He told me, "That ain't my job."

• I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Kowalski.

• I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Boardwell. 

•  I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Madam Secretary.

• I definitely did not have no sex with that cussing preacher, Reverend Josephus Wright.

• I did not have sexual relations with nobody. Don’t ever plan to. I am the president.

• I did not “curtsy” to no dang Arab oil sheik. I bowed. I am the president

• I don’t think the Harem Globtrekkers are all black. I heard one of them has a white mother. You can't ever be too careful where that kind of thing is concerned.

• I worked hard for all Americans in my first four years. And I promise I will do that again in my next four years. That’s why I got re-elected. Voters know what I will do.

DISCLAIMER & WARNING: The preceding is all junk, all fabrication, all over. We got this tawdry bit of information and blather from an anonymous source, who refused to be quoted because he couldn't remember his name. So take your chances. Don't call me back. Just call me Verne

Egyptian jihadist calls for removal of Sphinx, Pyramids: 'Destroy the idols'

By AL ARABIYA

An Egyptian jihad leader, with self-professed links to the Taliban, called for the “destruction of the Sphinx and the Giza Pyramids in Egypt,” drawing ties between the Egyptian relics and Buddha statues, local media reported this week.

Murgan Salem al-Gohary, an Islamist leader twice-sentenced under former President Hosni Mubarak for advocating violence, called on Muslims to remove such “idols.”

“All Muslims are charged with applying the teachings of Islam to remove such idols, as we did in Afghanistan when we destroyed the Buddha statues,” he said on Saturday during a television interview on an Egyptian private channel, widely watched by Egyptian and Arab audiences.

“God ordered Prophet Mohammed to destroy idols,” he added. “When I was with the Taliban we destroyed the statue of Buddha, something the government failed to do.”

His comments came a day after thousands of ultraconservative Islamists gathered in Tahrir Square to call for the strict application of Sharia law in the new constitution.

But in retaliation to Gohary’s remarks, the vice president of Tunisia’s Ennahda party, Sheikh Abdel Fattah Moro, called the live program and told Gohary that famous historic military commander Amr ibn al-Aas did not destroy statues when he conquered Egypt.

“So who are you to do it?” he wondered. “The Prophet destroyed the idols because people worshiped them, but the Sphinx and the Pyramids are not worshiped.”

Gohary, 50, is well-known in Egypt for his advocacy of violence, Egypt Independent reported.

“He was sentenced twice, one of the two sentences being life imprisonment. He subsequently fled Egypt to Afghanistan, where he was badly injured in the American invasion. In 2007, he traveled from Pakistan to Syria, which then handed him over to Egypt. After Mubarak's fall in early 2011, he was released from prison by a judicial ruling,” the newspaper added.

In recent months, fears have surfaced that the ultra-conservative Salafi political powers may soon wish to debate new guidelines over Egyptian antiquities.

Islamists have swept the recent presidential and parliamentary elections in the country’s post-revolutionary stage, with the Muslim Brotherhood and the ultra-conservative Salafi Islamists rising to political power.

“The fundamental Salafis have demanded to cover Pharaonic statues, because they regard them to be idols,” Egyptian author on ancient history Ahmed Osman told Al Arabiya English, explaining that Salafi Muslims follow conservative religious principles which view statues and sculptures as prohibited in Islam.

“But so far the government has done nothing to indicate what is the future of Egyptian antiquities,” adds Osman.

Many hope that Egypt’s new President Mohammed Mursi will help usher better preservation of Egypt’s proud cultural heritage. Egyptian officials have recently announced the country will reveal more of its ancient buried treasures.

The tomb of Queen Meresankh III, the granddaughter of Khufu, of Great Pyramid fame, is set to be opened to tourists later this year, with the last resting places of five high priests also slated to be put on show.

Officials are also believed to be reopening the underground Serapeum temple at Sakkara, to the south of Cairo.

House asks Clinton to testify on Benghazi, but she declines due to 'scheduling conflict'

WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 08: U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks during a ceremony to present a Common Ground Award to Anne Stevens, sister of the late U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, at the Carnegie Institution for Science November 8, 2012 in Washington, DC.

House investigators asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify next week about the September 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi, but she declined citing a scheduling conflict.
“[Clinton] was asked to appear at House Foreign Affairs next week, and we have written back to the Chairman to say that she’ll be on travel next week,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters yesterday. “She has a commitment with the Secretary of Defense to the AUSMIN Ministerial.” Per AFP, “AUSMIN is the highest level forum for Australia and US consultation on foreign policy, defense and strategic issues.” The United States is reportedly concerned about Australia’s plan to cut their defense spending.
Clinton has not been asked to testify at any of the other hearings next week, Nuland said.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., has been frustrated with the State Department’s failure to provide information that she has requested.
“While I understand that investigations by the FBI and the State Department’s own Accountability Review Board are ongoing, it is imperative that this Committee, having direct oversight responsibility, be kept informed every step of the way of developments in the matter,” Ros-Lehtinen wrote to Clinton on November 7th. “[P]lease be prepared to present State Department officials to testify on these issues when Congress reconvenes later this month.”
