Hey GOP, how is it to live in the gutter? (cost, election)

[ddeemo]

The original article and post are a little slanted - they were NOT absent because of 9/11 ceremony - they were absent because they thought there would not be a vote, it was the governor that was giving a speech to the National Guard that was hosting the 9/11 ceremony. From the minority leader (Dem) - the democrats were in a closed-door caucus meeting.

And just FYI - the National Guard is mostly weekend warriors, being a Wed, probably few in attendance other than the State employees.

NC House Republicans override Gov. Cooper’s budget veto while he’s at 9/11 memorial event.

I live in NC, and can tell you that the GOP has taken dirty politics to a new level here. That says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Dems. My comment is about the GOP, which you seem afraid to speak about.

I completely agree, and I'm a Republican. I just fired off emails to them all. SHAMEFUL to do that this morning.

this is nothing, wait until they replaced Ginsburg a few weeks before the next election. Dems will be howling ...lol

It's not as if one expects much of North Carolina GOPers, but damn if they didn't invent a new low. Scum. And so are you, if you defend this.

[skeddy]

are you guys just upset because you lost your elections in NC....? I think so...you had so much hope, now just more despair ... cheer up!

Good on the NC GOP!

But really, expecting a liberal to actually show up for work is unreasonable and inhumane.

About as low as it gets eh? GOP tells dems they will not have a vote so Dems could go to 9/11 event or work on other pressing matters....but instead they were plotting all along to vote on budget that had been vetoed. Slimy is about the only word I can think of.

If you read the article, you'd see the text message stating there would be no votes taken.

They waited until 9/11 while many were at the 9/11 memorial. Conveniently, the Rs all showed up instead of going to the 9/11 memorial. Impossible for me to believe it wasn't planned. In the future, Democrats need to operate on the assumption Republicans will do the slimiest thing possible at every opportunity. Here, the GOP's main goal was to keep poor people from getting Medicaid coverage and they were willing to use a 9/11 memorial to do it.
