Reply #3: I doubt it - Jesse was endorsing Richard Burr the other day [View All]

and his first basis was "your a good Christian"

As long as you have that in your resume in NC, nothing else seems to matter here as far as getting elected - and the faithful still cling to Jesse for all that tobacco pork he generated for all those years.

In all fairness, I have respect for Jesse Helms as a politician about one thing that I can't say about many others - you ALWAYS knew where he stood, and he didn't waffle on his opinions according to the latest polls. Even though I disagreed w/ 80% of what he stood for, we could really use more principled politicians like that again.
