Unions Fuel Third Party to Punish Democrats

RAEFORD, N.C. — On Friday night in this quiet southeastern North Carolina town, a team of college students went door-to-door, asking people to sign a petition to put a third political party on the ballot.
Wearing matching “Bring Jobs to North Carolina” T-shirts, Donnell Smith of Fayetteville and Shelitia Brooks of Raeford told people they were trying to create better jobs and more affordable health care.
What they didn’t say is they’re also trying to throw 8th District Democratic Congressman Larry Kissell out of office.
The conservative-leaning tea party movement is not the only backlash to emerge from the national health care debate. The health care fracas also created a reaction from the left.
