Yes, I miss the days of Bev Perdue, the Easleys and Mark Basnight. Wait, nobody misses those days. At least, nobody who votes and/or pays taxes.

You lapsed back into "we" again, but I'll play.

Mike Easley appointed Mike Nifong. Your move.

I'm split on the Moral Monday crowd. On one head, yeah, the legislature often leaves something to be desired. On the other hand, you lost the election. Get over it and regroup for 2014 and beyond. Ultimately though, I love a little civil disobedience, so more power to them.

The legislature represents and effects the whole state, not just the half of the half of the state citizens that voted for them. All of the damage being done now wont just magically fix itself when Dems take back control someday.

Women, and the rest of us, decided for ourselves. These people's candidates did not do well in that decision-making process. They mad bro, but not in possession of any popular ideas.

Congratulations, you learned how to gerrymander. Rather than deflecting to your perceived lack of ideas possessed by the opposing side, would say that you are in lockstep with the current legislature's decisions?

The entire State, in case of the Governor's race. Awfully impressive to gerrymander the entire state into one big megadistrict and win it by 500,000 votes, isn't it? Get a new excuse, or better yet, policies that voters would like.

The best part of this image is that this crowd is facing the Dept of Revenue building. Oh, the irony.

Yeah, they make up a majority of North Carolina voters. A majority of North Carolina voters....seems like I've heard that phrase somewhere before....:cam:

What about the other races? I've mentioned before where the GOP controls 69% of the US House seats from NC despite the fact they received LESS THAN HALF of the votes.

In NC Senate races, the GOP won 52.89% of the vote, yet controls 66% of the state Senate.

I haven't had the time to work on the NC House numbers.

You're persisting in this gerrymandering bit, when they lost the most important Statewide race by 500k votes? Dude, you lost by an entire Greensboro.

McCrory hasn't been much of a leader on anything.

"Those elected GOP leaders have largely ignored the protests, or derided those who come out to oppose their agenda as “outsiders” and “morons” even as arrest reports show nearly all are from within the state and list occupations that include clergy, doctors, lawyers and teachers."
