NC Petty Pubs

It's why I've been saying Biden should just go nuclear on his way out. Theres no rules anymore. Nobody gives a shit. Supreme Court gave him immunity. He should use it. Why not? Taking the high road has gotten the Dem party nowhere.

 

I thought this thread was about Richard Petty opening a string of bars. That would be news seeing as how he never accepted alcohol sponsorships because he promised his mother he would never do it.

 

Meh, Cooper basically lied about the Charlotte gym locker room situation to get elected and caved to outside financial interests in doing it.

The dems in this state aren't exactly historical high road takers.

From Mike Easley, to Jim Black and toss in a racist like Jim Hunt. (Who Democrats elected 4 times as governor.)

I don't like this type of governing by the Republicans In this case, but its sorta been that way in this state since I moved here In the 1990's and historically as well. The parties in this state play dirty.

It's sad, but entertaining.

 

This is my least favorite kind of governance. To me, this move isn’t petty. It’s anti-Republican (in the founders’ sense of the term).

 

I agree. Tis the nature in this state however.

I think the two parties think they have to our dirty each other.

 

This isn't really two parties though.

 

Boy you are relying heavily on that MSN NBC source lately the last few threads you started were linked to the sane source. What's wrong CNN isn't far enough left for you?

 

Historically? In this state? Lol, yes it is.

 

It's not a false story.

It's just odd to act like this Isn't the norm in NC especially considering how dirty Democrats have played here over the years.

 

@swampbabe, on what premise do you disagree? Are you unaware of the racial issues that Jim Hunt had (Wilmington 10 case)?

Are you unaware of how Roy Cooper won the governorship by 10k votes by caving to the NCAA tournament and the NBA All Star game over money?

Are you aware the Bev Perdue was a financial fraudster leaving multiple people on her team indicted for campaign fraud.

How about Mike Easley? A felon who was a financial thief?

Counting Hunt's two 8 year terms, that is your last 5 democratic governorships in NC.

So people can spare me the NC Republicans don't play fare narrative. Its a dirty state politically.

 

While we are pointing out corruption and ethics, let us not forget scumbag McCrory lead the way in NC in the previous election!!

My issue is your constant worry over bathrooms/locker rooms. It seems that your concern is not with trans folks but with your fellow men.

Besides, if you want to look for ridiculous/corrupt government you can come on down to sunny Florida, although republicans have pretty much trashed the sunshine law in this state.

 

Exactly!...we agree...and that proves my point. This is a sneaky dirty state politically.

 

You are clueless about what happened with that ridiculous Charlotte (locker room, not bathroom) law and how the NBA and NCAA strong armed our coward governor into using it to sway just enough voters to win by a tiny margin. We basically elected David Silver NBA comish) and the NCAA Board of Governors.

 

This is no longer a bad thing. Keep up, please.

 

Total BS. Youve been a man scorned since Roy stood up against ridiculous over-regulation of where to pee. Time to move on.

North Carolina is the most gerrymandered state in the country or at least one of. This state is a democratic majority on local issues having elected statewide democrats for a decade with a gerrymandered state legislature and federal legislature that is nearing a supermajority. Its such BS. Cant wait for demographics to overwhelm the right wing idiots in the legislature. I just want a fair voice.

 

City, you may be surprised to know I agree. I have called out NC Republicans for gerrymandering. But pretty much every Dem governor in our lifetimes has played dirty.

Its just the historical nature of North Carolina politics.

Remember, i just left the Republican nominee for governor off my ballot. I give no high ground to the Republicans here.

 

They didnt give you much of a choice this year that's for sure. I think the GOP here feels invincible with the district lines drawn so favorably and thus put up total crackpots.

 

Yeah. It was an easy "nope" for me. Dude made Trump look normal.
