Ongoing NC GOP debacle thread

So this is starting to blow up...the Secretary of Agriculture, with the support of McCrory, have said guns are not allowed at the state fair this year. Meanwhile, tea party groups are trying to challenge the legality of that ban to allow weapons at the state fair. Sentiment from most of the public seems to be in support of banning them from the fairgrounds, but this should be another interesting mess the GOP has gotten themselves in.

Why does McCrory hate our freedoms? Now ISIS will be on those fairgrounds like roaches on deep fried butter with nobody to stop them.

"N.C. Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger said, “Now by providing the largest teacher pay raise in state history, we’ll be able to recruit and retain the best educators to prepare our children for the future.” He’s wrong. N.C. House Speaker Thom Tillis is airing a campaign ad about his leadership in strengthening public education. He’s misleading you. That historic raise is funded in part by eliminating teachers’ longevity pay. Similar to an annual bonus, this is something that all state employees — except, now, for teachers — gain as a reward for continued service. The budget rolled that money into teachers’ salaries and labeled it as a raise. That’s like me stealing money out of your wallet and then presenting it to you as a gift."
 
Do NC voters understand that the NC GOP capped teachers' salaries?
 
At what point do political ads just become white noise? Are they really pushing the needle that much?

That's the point, at least from the Republican perspective. That's just another way to suppress voters. Get them numb to politics and believing that it doesn't matter while the Tea Partiers take over the polls.
 
There are plenty of clueless NC dipshits who are going to believe those commercials as gospel truth. Hell yeah they gave them teachers raises, and that liberal bitch Kay Hagan voted for Obamacare, and my friends cousins wife, you know the one with cancer, lost her insurance because of that damned obamacare. My taxes are too damned high anyway to be payin hospital bills for a bunch of drug addict thugs with their pants fallin off, and illegal mexicans and their kids. Send them and their 15 kids back to mexico.
