NC Rep accidentally legalizes Fracking

The only thing dumber than what she did:

Even more bizarrely, House rules prohibit changing your vote if doing so would affect the outcome. (In other words, you can change your vote on a bill, but only if won't make any difference.)

I don't know how it is in other states, but the legislature here in NC will basically work for very long hours to make sure they get out early. I'm starting to think there needs to be a limit on how long they can be in session each day, especially if this is the kind of crap that's going to happen.
 
If memory serves, she had a pretty bad heart attack a few years back. Wonder if that had anything to do with it.
 
Typical Democrat......don't know up from down.
 
Finally, appropriate use of "oops"...rj please take note.
 
Yes, let's let these people run our health care. What could go wrong?
 
good point. we shouldn't let them run the military either.
 
Another vote has many people either angry or scratching their heads. It is alleged that she flipped her vote after receiving assurances that New Hanover County would receive a $60 million tax credit for the movie industry.


Rep. Susi Hamilton, D-New Hanover, signed a letter last week asking Gov. Bev Perdue to veto Senate Bill 820, the fracking bill. Monday night, she voted with the GOP majority to override the very veto she asked for. Hamilton has consistently voted against proposals to explore fracking. In fact, she was recently recognized by the NC League of Conservation Voters as a "2012 Rising Star." Without Hamilton's vote, the veto would have been sustained.

To the extent she can admit she fucked up, she's a bigger man than you. Had a Republican done this fuck up (and the N.C. ones have a looong history of that), you'd find some weakshit angle to defend it.

I can say without fear of contradiction that the operational aspects of our military are in far, far better hands than idiot NC Dems.

She put on quite a show apologizing for her "accidental" vote when she knew what she was doing all along. Shameful, secret politics. We know your little secret now.
