Ongoing NC GOP debacle thread

[Liquid Karma]

What are they doing, they're going to run out of teachers to shit on.

Hilarious. First they remove the incentive for teachers to pursue those degrees, then they shut down those programs since nobody uses them anymore.

Which I'm guessing was the plan.

The only thing I've not been able to find yet is if those programs got rolled into a more general education program that isn't as directed. In the case of the special ed, I would say that is a horribly misguided thing to slash. Those people absolutely need specialized instruction to deal with what they are going to deal with.

Bill to exempt magistrates from having to perform same-sex unions headed to the House floor. http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article22433973.html

McCrory says he will veto the magistrate opt-out bill.

Hell yeah.

Looks like he already did.

McCrory is crushing it as governor. Obama needs to take notes, you don't always have to go along with your party leaders if you don't think it is a good idea.

Well he was their little bitch for the first several months when they were on their wrecking rampage.

 

[2&2 Slider To Leyritz]

Not really. What did he actually pass that, in hindsight, ended up poorly? He is fiscally conservative and socially liberal, which is what it appears most voters are looking for.

 

[Deadbolt]

I'll give it to him, he turned his image around from where he was at the beginning of his term. There is a lot of conflict between he and Berger, which I think is a positive for him because Berger sucks out loud.

The rumored story on this veto is that a number of large businesses told McCrory privately that if the bill passes, they'll pull millions of planned investment out of the state. So it's not as if his conscience pushed him to use his veto stamp, but it's the right decision all the same. Now to see how far Berger wants to push this thing.

Most of that stuff didn't pass and had nothing to do with McCrory, it was just you clowns circle-jerking over whatever latest nonsense bill some loon Republican in the House threw out to appease his donors.

 

[Deacon923]

He has signed off on several budgets slashing higher education and stifling primary education in this state, for no other purpose than to try and prove, once and for all, that trickle down economics actually works (despite all evidence to the contrary).

 

[2&2 Slider To Leyritz]

I think the primary reason was to get a balanced budget, which generally worked. As usual, everyone is always in the "cut spending, raise taxes" camp until their stuff gets cut or their taxes get raised.
