While results were coming on on Tuesday, McHenry was busy penning his next piece of propaganda for his campaign website. In a messaged entitled: “McHenry Declares Victory“, McHenry says:
Dear Friends,
Because of all of your help and hard work, we have won the Tenth District Republican primary!
The results won’t be completely finalized until later tonight, but with 99% of the precincts counted, we are winning 67% to 33%.
This has been a hard-fought primary campaign, and we could not have done it without you!
I am invigorated to know that the voters of Western North Carolina overwhelmingly support our campaign on the issues important to our region, like promoting economic growth and job creation, lowering gas prices, stopping illegal immigration, and defending traditional family values.
We are truly blessed to live in a country whose leaders are accountable to the people they serve. And while I regret this contest was made ugly by my opponent, I acknowledge his willingness to campaign for public office and service in the military.
We must now turn our attention to November. The Democrats are preparing to make a competitive bid for the Tenth District Congressional seat, and the Republicans of Western North Carolina must be unified to keep them from getting another vote in Congress for Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco liberal agenda.
Again, thank you for your support, your prayers, and your votes. Together, we will celebrate again on November 4!
God Bless,
Congressman Patrick McHenry
So, once again, McHenry is found in the media attacking the LGBT equality (or as he calls it “Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco liberal agenda”). Did he forget about the photos that haven’t made it to the local media yet? (Oh wait, that’s right. He isn’t worried about the photos. Andrew Mackie, the political writer for the Hickory Daily Record & a McHenry pon, won’t allow any mention of them in the paper or on the Record’s political blog.) Nonetheless, you and I both know, that it’s only a matter of time until the REAL TRUTH comes out.
But, McHenry doesn’t stop with just ONE letter to his brainwashed supporters. He goes on the record again today with the following message posted to his website:
Dear Friends,
Now that all the votes have been tallied, one thing is abundantly clear: Western North Carolina Republicans are united. We are unified and ready to wage a strong campaign against the Democrats this fall.
Because of your hard work, your votes, and your prayers, we defeated Lance Sigmon 67% to 33%, a 2 to 1 margin of victory!
We won all ten counties, and our support is strong in every corner of the Tenth District.
In Avery County, we won 73% - 27%, in Burke 71% - 29%, in Caldwell 70% - 30%, in Catawba 51% - 49%, in Cleveland 85% - 15%, in Gaston 88% - 12%, in Iredell 78% - 22%, in Lincoln 60% - 40%, in Mitchell 75% - 25%, and in Rutherford 86% - 14%.
This landslide win was a huge victory for decency and civility in politics. Unlike my opponent, I campaigned on the issues. I traveled throughout Western North Carolina talking about solutions to the challenges facing our region, and that’s why we won the race.
We must now focus our attention on November. The Democrats are preparing to mount a competitive bid for our seat. I called Daniel Johnson last night to congratulate him on his win and tell him that I look forward to a vigorous campaign on the issues moving forward.
But Nancy Pelosi’s chosen recruit, a trial lawyer from Raleigh, already has his pockets stuffed with cash from Washington liberals, and we know there will be more to come.
To defeat them, we must pull together and make a strong case for what we stand for.
We are the party of faith, life, and family values. We are the party of secure borders and an end to illegal immigration. We are the party of a strong national defense and victory over Muslim extremists.
And we are the party with the right ideas for rebuilding our economy and creating good-paying jobs for working families.
Together, we will defeat the Democrats and prevent them from getting another vote in Congress for Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco liberal agenda.
Together, we will celebrate again on November 4th!
God Bless,
Congressman Patrick McHenry
So, for two days in a row, McHenry has attacked the LGBT community again for political points. How many times will the district’s Republicans let a short, bull-dog, closet case get by with saying one thing and doing another?
Maybe they need to see the REAL TRUTH about McHenry. Until then, we’ll watch McHenry continue to make a fool of himself against Daniel Johnson - a man of impeccable character & service to our country. McHenry can try to paint him anyway he wants, but the honest truth is McHenry is scared shitless because he knows he’s going to loose his seat in November. Johnson’s campaign fired back with the following statement released on the campaign’s website:
Before the primary election results have even been certified, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) has already begun his negative campaigning. In a statement on his website, Rep. McHenry says about the Johnson campaign:
“The Democrats are preparing to mount a competitive bid for our seat. I called Daniel Johnson last night to congratulate him on his win and tell him that I look forward to a vigorous campaign on the issues moving forward.
But Nancy Pelosi’s chosen recruit, a trial lawyer from Raleigh, already has his pockets stuffed with cash from Washington liberals, and we know there will be more to come.”
“This is an untrue personal attack, and exactly the kind of politics that we in the 10th District are sick and tired of,” said Johnson, “I am proud of my record serving the state of North Carolina as a prosecutor and standing up for the victims of violent crimes. I was encouraged to run by leaders from our community, and I look forward to serving my friends and neighbors in Washington.”
The politics of division and the politics of fear are exactly what are keeping Congress from finding real solutions to the serious problems facing our community and our nation. The Johnson campaign looks forward to a campaign about the issues affecting our families in the 10th District–the rising cost of gasoline and healthcare, the need for new, high-paying jobs, and the care of our military men and women.

Ellen DeGeneres announced today that she will wed her partner of four years, Portia de Rossi. Her announcement comes a day after the California Supreme Court ordered that a gay marriage ban was unconstitutional in the Golden State.
It was with a sad heart that I learned today that my friend and my sister, Dottie Rambo, had passed on Sunday. For those of you, like myself, who have grew up in the south and in the Church the name of Dottie Rambo is no stranger. Dottie has penned a number of songs that represent the best of the born-again Christian experience. Some of her popular songs include:
The California Supreme Court effectively overturned a gay marriage ban in the state in a 4-3 ruling. The ruling says that gay couples have the inherent right to decide who they marry. This ruling makes California the second state, after Massachusetts, to allow same-sex marriage. The ruling takes effect in thirty days. However, a number of opponents have already pledged to overturn the ruling through legislation.
