I agree with you!

Social issues will not generate new jobs, lower taxes and make our education system any better.
Look at what NC went through the past 4 years. Zilch!

He is the Koch Brothers of NC politics. I remember when he was a state legislator and "vile" is not really too strong a word. Ditto with Kieran Shanahan who is also a McCrory appointee. There are not "Right-Wing" nor "far-Right-Wing", they are "Extreme-Right-Wing".

And McCrory actually fooled some into believing he had a moderate streak.
Oh God help us, or rather God help me, and the other 213 left wing people left in NC.

Well, time will tell but the modus operandi of other recently "Republican" states is to go after social conservative issues with a vengeance. I sincerely hope that they don't but I won't be surprised if they do.

"BREAKING NEWS: GOV.-ELECT PAT MCCRORY HAS NAMED ART POPE, FINANCIER OF CONSERVATIVE CAUSES, AS HIS DEPUTY BUDGET DIRECTOR. HE ALSO NAMED RALEIGH ATTORNEY KIERAN SHANAHAN AS SECRETARY OF PUBLIC SAFETY."
these are wonderful pics

I am very happy with them

I also love how the Democrats, who caused most of the problems the last several decades, are upset about the pics

even though I am no longer there I will watch this from afar

as the Republicans keep fixing things, the democrats will keep crying

Well, we can start with the fact that South Carolina has done a FAR better job at lowering their unemployment rate.

Yeah, because fixing things that aren't broken is such an efficient use of state resources.

Of course they will. First on the list will be the things Perdue vetoed, such as Voter ID and the Abortion ultrasound (?) bill. How these translate to jobs and growth, let alone "less government intrusion", I'm still waiting to hear.

I really thought that spending my tax dollars to fly off with a dozen or more other constitutents to CHINA was a really good use of NC money.
