Hell! What's Safe Water Compared to "Iron Man III"?

The Wilmington Star-News goes deep on NC House Democrat Susi Hamilton's pro-fracking vote.

Sell-out or outstanding example of statesmanship?

Really.

Iron Man III?

Might Be Time To Just Shut Up

Democratic NC House Rep. Susi Hamilton, the notorious flip-flopper on lifting the statewide ban on fracking, has had time to think of good reasons to justify her sell-out:

1. She didn't vote FOR fracking. She voted to regulate it. (Right. But there was no need to regulate something that was justifiably banned already.)

2. "It is easy to pound your fist and stand on supposed principle when you are wealthy. The well-to-do environmental lobby of the general assembly lacks the ability to see a bill for what it is." Ah, those Cadillac environmentalists! Should have known! But on the inability "to see a bill for what it is," see # 1 above.

The Democratic Sell-Out on Fracking

Rep. Susi Hamilton of New Hanover County, who was bought off with tax-credit favors for the Wilmington film industry. Worse ... the way she was trying to cover her tracks with WRAL's Laura Leslie. Advice to Rep. Hamilton: if you're going to sup with the devil, better use a very long spoon.

The tipping vote on the fracking override was actually Meck Dem Becky Carney's, who says it was a complete and total mistake. Good to know that putting our state's drinking water at risk was purely a slip of the finger. That makes it all so much easier to take!

Other Democrats in the NC House who voted for fracking on the veto override were Kelly Alexander and Rodney Moore of Mecklenburg; Bill Brisson and Dewey Hill, two of the original Five Goobers, who usually vote with the Republicans; and the newly notorious Susi Hamilton.

Gawd, it would be nice to have an actual Democratic Party in North Carolina.
