So many North Carolina progressives here! It does my heart proud. Even those of you who don’t live in the state can donate to her campaign, you know. (And those of you who do live there, I hope you’re volunteering to phone bank or knock on doors! Help get out that vote!)

Like others have already said in the comments, I’m SO GLAD that I’m in NC and will be able to vote for Hagan!

I feel so dirty and evil after watching that. I hate myself and must crawl back to the Lord with humility and disdain and beg him for forgiveness. (My crawling would be accompanied by the sorrowful piano music played in this very ad). Damn you Kay Hagan. How dare you reach out to everyone regardless of their beliefs or lack of them? You wil surely burn in the fires of hell for representing your skeptical constituents.

*Sigh*

The fact that she is winning, even after that add? That makes me -glad- to be an American in this day and age. It shows that more people are able to think for themselves.

If I remember the quote about banning Christmas as a federal holiday correctly, he followed it by suggesting instead that we allow people of differing religions to take holiday time during the celebration of their own religion in the timeframe (ie Hanukkah, Ramadan, etc…). But obviously they had to cut off the quote before he got to the part that made sense.

From the First Amendment of the Constitution:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”

Hmm… it does sound dangerously close to congress trying to do just that in however small a way doesn’t it?

Darn, I live in Virginia. I really want to vote for Kay Hagan (although getting to vote for Mark Warner is nice). My dad lives in North Carolina, he’s a republican but is also a freethinker. I think I may have to give my dad a call today

I am in NC, and I will definitely vote for Hagan. The attack ads are so over the top I find it difficult to believe anyone takes them seriously, and yet it seems that some do. Scary, that.

Personally, I’m glad to be living in NC and that just gave me more weight on my decision to vote for Hagan.

I also agree that our government should be a humanist government and I’m a Christian.

As far as the money deal goes, some of us believe in a God (not just the Christian God) and some don’t. I believe it is extreme epistemological snobbery for me to attempt to push my beliefs on any one or attempt to forcibly proselytize people.

The only republican I might vote for in this election is Pat McCrory and that’s because he’s a pretty good job in Charlotte but I’ll have to investigate that more.

I’m another NC atheist who will be voting for Hagen. I would of course have voted for her before this ad, but this makes it more fun. Since her election, Dole has either been MIA in the state or has been running silent. Now she wants to come on strong just two weeks before election day. The problem for her is that many voters will cast a ballot for the most familiar candidate. Dole being absent from the state so long means younger voters only know her from the recent attack ads, yet Hagen has made her presence and positions know for quite a while. Go Kate.
