Its primary politics like never before in the Tarheel State. There's boosters everywhere your turn, and stickers and buttons and signs on every street corner. You can't even remember what your roads used to look like, cause they've been covered for so long it seems there's no end in sight.
And Hillary Clinton has popped up in every small town you've ever heard of.
Why, just yesterday, she was down here and said this...
"We’re not supposed to be losing jobs in America, we’re supposed to be creating jobs in America." [Source]
Well thats right Hillary. We aren't. NAFTA sure hasn't helped though.
Oh and she's been out there on the TV tearing up Obama for not supporting the gas tax. She's even gonna make a bill out of it Congress.
Hillary spokesperson Howard Wolfson, on a conference call with reporters moments ago, confirmed that she'd be going forward with her plan to introduce the gas tax holiday legislation. [Source]
Funny thing about that Gas Tax Holiday. It sure sounds good, but the American Road and Transportation Builders Association says this:
If Hillary Clinton's Gas Tax idea becomes law, North Carolina will lose over $203M in federal highway funds and LOSE OVER 7K good paying construction jobs. [Source - pdf*]
So Hillary Clinton thinks we’re supposed to be creating jobs, but why does she want to trade 7K good jobs right here in the Tarheel state, for a few pennies at the pump?
Hillary Clinton, she’ll say anything to get elected. Even if it means YOUR job!
