Don't you think the teachers union is a "special interest"...<br /><br />Or, is it ok if the 'special interest' is one which you agree with?<br /><br />EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN in legislative races in this district won this year. And, you guys think its ALL because Art Pope spent a lot of money? Do you really think that all these voters are just naive and that you 'elites' here are the ones who know best?<br /><br />Come on people! Wake up! Voters are tired of Democrat tax and spend policies. They have expressed their opinions with this election. Give them SOME credit for knowing what they want in THEIR government.November Is Here!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-44785313399385637772010-11-12T09:49:54.927-05:002010-11-12T09:49:54.927-05:00I'm feeling prescient.

The day after the election, I said we'd never see another road paved up here after June (when this budgetary year ends) and we'd see teacher/pupil ratios like those in Georgia (32 kids in a Kindergarten class with no T.A.)....the main reason we moved here to raise our family.<br /><br />Looks like both are coming true.Opinionatednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-5200423555125992922010-11-11T20:34:54.385-05:002010-11-11T20:34:54.385-05:00Mike D, where are you?

You said in an earlier thread to Matt that if Soucek and/or Jordan were going to push for a same sex amendment, you were going to call them and demand that they get to the "real work" of gutting government. Please see brotherdoc's comment above and report back to us how Soucek and Jordan responded.Annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-9660833267637593982010-11-11T18:23:41.638-05:002010-11-11T18:23:41.638-05:00Gotta get that boycott going.

Just heard that the first major utterance coming out from the current minority leader is that it is time to let the people vote on amending the state constitution to outlaw same sex marriage. So there you are, the real agenda of the TPers is the same ol' "family values" BS they SAID was not the issue this time around.brotherdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597543573448439126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-75242300166319905962010-11-11T15:25:22.499-05:002010-11-11T15:25:22.499-05:00This is from the 2009 session so expect something ...This is from the 2009 session so expect something from them in January with cuts for the 2011 budget.John Runklenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-30646762434773231512010-11-11T14:00:39.347-05:002010-11-11T14:00:39.347-05:00Hmm...Let's think on this, Pope is one of four...Hmm...Let's think on this, Pope is one of four BOD's of American's for Prosperity, the front group of the billionaire oil Barron Koch brothers.<br /><br />Wonder why Pope and friends don't want wind or other alternative energies in North Carolina...<br /><br />OH?
