Is There a Border War Between TN and NC?

The following is a press release from another Great American. This blogs posts this information to spark public interest due to the content.
This blog does not endorse any candidate and has a policy of reveiwing and posting such materials as it feels is relevent to the local community.




Heath Shuler is a North Carolina Representative serving the better interests of Tennessee according to 11th District Republican Candidate Carl Mumpower. Citing the partnership between Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander and Shuler, it is Mumpower's belief that Shuler is either "outgunned in his relationship with the seasoned Senator or actively cooperating against Western North Carolina." "A pennies on the dollar settlement plan in lieu of the promised economic engine found in the North Shore Road deserves far more attention than it receives", said Mumpower.

"Whether it is the TVA's drawdown policies on Lake Fontana, abandonment of the North Shore Road promise, or an indifference to the fact that 85% of Swain County is off the tax role, we are surrendering to Tennessee's priorities at every turn", shared Mumpower. "The settlement plan of 52 million has the authenticity of a fly by night driveway pavement crew preying on little old ladies - just one city government in WNC, Asheville, has an annual budget of twice that amount."

Mumpower points to what he views as a glaring similarity between the original 1943 promise to build the North Shore Road and the current buy-out plan touted by Alexander and Shuler. "In both cases there was a promise founded on the availability of funds." "A down payment of six million is chump change that will buy our politicians time to dodge their responsibilities today as surely as they have dodged them for the past 65 years", said Mumpower. What is the real goal of the settlement plan? "In my opinion it is to make sure that WNC remains little more than a tourist passageway to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge."

NEWS FLASH!! The Conscience of Swain County has been identified, by careful analysis of word usage, to actually be none other than Fox News celebrity and right wing blowhard SEAN HANNITY.

The key, accord to analysts, was the repeated use of the phrase 'A great American' in nearly every recent post.

Traffic on the Swain County website increased dramatically as fans of Mr. Hannity swamped the servers in hopes of gaining some insight into these troubling times, including the fact that a leading republican candidate for President favors moderate approaches to immigration, much to the dismay of the red meat party loyalists.

You've got to bear in mind that "great American"="Republican".
Also for your future edification....."terrorist"="anyoneopposed to what the Republicans believe". Also note that "liberal"="communist". And don't forget that "blaspheme", "sellout", "sinner", "greedy", and "crooked" should be used as often as possible when referring to the Democrats.

Mumpower a great American? "lol"="laughing out loud".

TENNESSEE IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE MR. ALEXANDER AND MR. SHULER REPRESENTING THEM. MAYBE WE CAN GET THEM TO HELP PUT SWAIN COUNTY INTO TENNESSEE, THEN THEY WILL BUILD THE NORTH SHORE ROAD.
