Would you believe there is even a group called "Republicans Against Patrick McHenry".

Here is his latest disgusting controversy in NC ---

"State Republican leaders scrambled Wednesday to distance themselves from comments made by U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry, who suggested that his party would use race as a determining factor in redrawing North Carolina's congressional districts to give GOP candidates maximum advantage."

More---On March 2, 2010, McHenry proposed new legislation, H.R. 4705, that would redesign the face of the $50 bill to include the likeness of the 40th President, Ronald Reagan.

More---McHenry stirred further controversy with his remarks on April 1, 2008, regarding a trip to Iraq. Speaking to 150 Republicans attending the Lincoln County GOP Dinner, he called a contractor — reported first by blogs as a "U.S. soldier" — performing security duties in Iraq as "a two-bit security guard" because the contractor denied McHenry access to a gym.

More---On April 16, 2008, Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call revealed that McHenry used funds from his PAC, "More Conservatives", to fund the defense of former aide Michael Aaron Lay's voter fraud charges incurred during McHenry's 2004 race. McHenry gave Lay $20,000 to pay legal bills on voter fraud charges brought while Lay worked for him.<24> These expenses were labeled as "Legal Expense Donation", according to FEC reports. Lay agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement, which stipulated he complete 100 hours of community service and pay $240.50 in court fees and $250.00 in community service fees to have the charges dismissed.
