McHenry has lead the partisan whining and moaning since his first day in congress. Yet, when he comes back to the district (or in his virtual town hall) all you heard is "stop the partisan bickering." "There's too much partisan bickering." "The partisan bickering is hurting our country." Blah blah blah.
And today's CharO calls "breaking" what was written here and in the Hickory Record on Saturday (that Hickory attorney Lance Sigmon is considering a primary run against lil Pat). But who are we to complain when they are finally writing the truth about the diminutive whiner:
Sigmon, 48, said he's concerned that the 10th District doesn't have adequate representation. He said incumbent U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., has a contentious relationship with Democratic leadership in Congress.I wonder if this is precursor to an endorsement . . . wouldn't that upset the Republican applecart.
"They're going to be less inclined to hear what he has to say," Sigmon said. "There comes a time when you have to pick your battles."

Glad to see the Observer at least touching the sordid McHenry story--albeit very tenuously.
Now I wonder if they'll look at McHenry's ties to the "Christian" supremacist group whose headquarters are right in their own state, and to whom McHenry pays fawning tribute.
I'm speaking of Blackwater. Anyone concerned about the potential threat to our democratic society posed by a hired militia answering only to the executive branch and armed with kooky right-wing "religious" ideology should have a look at today's Alternet article about Blackwater at http://www.alternet.org/blogs/video/67106/.
Has someone promised McHenry at seat at the right hand of the Blackwater throne when this crusading organization comes into its kingdom?
