Politics : Republican Candidate Calls Bush Administration “Nazis”
Posted by Editor on 2005/6/23 10:37:44

Cary, NC - A candidate for North Carolina Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court has announced on her campaign's blog that she is leaving the Republican Party and denounced the Bush administration's policy on troop withdrawal from Iraq. Rachel Lea Hunter, a Republican and a candidate for Chief Justice, likens Bush’s administration to the “Nazis” and says that all who disagree with the administration are being branded as “traitors”.

Hunter is an attorney in Durham, NC with the firm of Browne, Flebotte, Wilson, Horn & Webb. Hunter’s web page says she offers pre-paid legal services. Hunter ran unsuccessfully in 2004 for the North Carolina Appeals Court. She recently announced her intent to run for the Supreme Court.


In her statement, Hunter expresses anger at former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot for unsubscribing to her campaign’s email list. Hunter, who is a former volunteer for Vinroot’s gubernatorial campaign, was angry that Vinroot asked to unsubscribe to her campaign’s email list after an announcement that she was recovering from a recent surgery.

Hunter continues her assault on other elected Republicans as well as party leaders. The letter launches criticisms at NCGOP Chairman, Ferrell Blount, for a lawsuit that was brought against the NC Republican party for an illegal contribution it received from a national group. The NC party agreed to pay a $10,000 fine and return the money. The GOP however never spent the money donated because of questions as to whether it was legal.

1. oh my

:rofl:

[autorank]

2. The wave is building...major defection.

This is great news. NC is piushing CA as the epicenter of the velvet revolution. Look at what's happened, Rep. Freedom Fries takes on Bush and opposes the war, now a Republican judicial candidate calls them Nazis. CA's got the demonstrations, NC the defections...WE CAN'T LOSE!

Great post!

[Seabiscuit]

32. Uh, excuse me... who is "Rep. Freedom Fries"?

I lost my decoder ring.

[autorank]

34. There are severe consequences for losing that ring. Report back now!

Walter Jones, R, NC

(I just forgot his name but remembered the fact it was the guy who changed Capitol French Fries to Freedom Fries after France opposed the Iraq War. They're lousy fries anyway.)

[Vinca]

38. And don't forget the name "Freedom Fries" came directly from God.

Honest.:rofl:

[corbett]

44. 'Cause He's No Francophile!!!

Thanks for reminding us of the divine providence involved in our invasion of Iraq and murder of tens of thousands of non-combatant women and children there!

I hope someone from NC who knows the skinny on this woman checks in....

40. Candidate has tiff with her own party (Oct 22, 2004)

By MATTHEW EISLEY, AMY GARDNER AND DAN KANE, Staff Writers

To capitalize on a federal election complaint that someone apparently has filed against one of her opponents, Rachel Hunter, a Republican candidate for justice on the state Supreme Court, had planned a news conference earlier this week at state GOP headquarters on Raleigh's Hillsborough Street. <snip>

The opponent she targeted, fellow Republican Paul Newby, is the only one of four Republicans running for the seat that the GOP endorsed.

And Hunter was going to criticize party leaders to boot.

So Bill Peaslee, the state party's chief of staff and political director, ordered her campaign entourage off the party's property. <snip>

4. Sorry Jon Stewart, I think this comparison is gonna stick.

Hmmmmm. Bush's America. Kind of scary. Especially if Republican's can't even tolerate it.

[liberal N proud]

5. I wouldn't get on the same plane as her for a while.

Great to see someone with guts enough to stand up and say what is happening.
How will they punish her?

[jokerman93]

6. She BETTER apoligize! n/t

"I am also deeply concerned about the persecution of conservative and christian students and professors on our college campuses." Ms. Hunter

[ixion]

10. it gives me hope to see true conservatives jumping ship

Really, we will all never agree all the time. It's about working together, not about threats and thuggery and blatant fascist policies.

[Seeing Red]

11. This is the problem with the judiciary

the INDEPENDENT and OUT OF CONTROL judiciary in America that refuses to listen to what Congress wants...all they wanted was a little double standard, is that too much to ask?

[Goldeneye]

12. This one's for you Zell.

:rofl:

[leveymg]

13. Welcome refugees from the other side of the Red Curtain

"Mr. President, tear that wall down." :hide: :7 :party: :toast: :thumbsup: :hi: :pals: :hide:

[jimshoes]

14. Wow, haven't heard that term in ages

Let's use it often. :evilgrin:

[cascadiance]

[ckramer]

16. And she shouldn't apologize for that too

Welcome her to the democratic party, Mr. Dean!

[Jack Rabbit]

17. Welcome to our side of the barricades, Ms. Hunter

!!

[demo dutch]

18. Oh oh ... Shit hits the fan... it's about time

[Igel]

19. She sounds like a petty, vindictive, ill-informed loon.

I rather think nobody will care that she's left the repub party.

And I rather hope she doesn't join the dem party.

[loudsue]

39. Funny....

you kinda sound like that, too!

I welcome ANY American to the Dem party!

:kick::kick::kick:

[struggle4progress]

41. Nowadays, quite a few Rs are petty, vindictive, ill-informed loons.

Whether or not she leaves the NC Rs won't much affect the decidely wingnut flavor of that party ...

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. My fellow American welcome to the barricades

We will need to build them tall

[UCLA Dem]

21. Wow. I suppose her house will be burned and kids dragged off to Iraq now.

[lumpy]

22. Ah, the 'seeing of the light' is a

wonderful thing.

[highnooner]

24. All I can say is, "WOW!"

...

[leesa]

25. Too funny! The truth hurts, don't it?

Will they force her to apologize?
