Thank you for a good concise read and update. I like the part where the swearing-in does not mean a thing.

Heh... and one of the first things they'll address is ballot/voter registration reform.

From a Sound Politics comment thread:

My husband said that last night's ball was SO boring.

Gre-Gore came in to their break room while they were eating to thank them for their work and he said he didn't even turn around to look at her. LOL

I can't imagine that she wouldn't be effected by the lack of attendence. Wouldn't you think she'd find it a blow to her personally? I know I'd take it personally and be totally depressed.

Anyway, my husband worked there last night and said it was a bust. I'm glad to hear it.

Bobby Brige was let off by the then Attorney General Gregoire.

Yes, it is a power club they have going. They stand to lose all they have built up, the palatial digs in gated communities, the subsidies for upkeep, the memberships to exclusive clubs, the getaways to Palm Springs in Winter, the power to award contracts to cronies, and on and on etc.

It really is a corrupt group.

Oops. Sorry. The State Supreme Court has 7 Democrats and 2 Republicans, although one of the Republicans is really a Libertarian.

Wow, that is really negative press they're dishing out there in your town in NC. It must really be blue.

{Thank you for a good concise read and update. I like the part where the swearing-in does not mean a thing.}

From what I see, propaganda is the only word for what the swearing-in ceremony accomplished for them; ditto for her moving into the Governor's Mansion.

I don't live there, but I am so angered by that abuse of our precious political system, there are not words to express my anger. They want everyone to feel that it is over; you must move on to govern, to fix the problems of the state, yada yada yada, because it is just too late to do anything about the rotten election. How do we know that?...why, she's already sworn-in and moved-in and everything!!!

Balderdash...

The PR (and propaganda) move on the part of the Democrats is backfiring. The voters have not calmed down, and the Republicans are making sure that the pressure stays on.

One Democratic legislator has introduced a bill that would make it a crime for a citizen to petition the legislature to change a law, which gives you an idea of just how scared the Democrats are. (The bill has no chance of passage and will die in commitee.)

At this point, the contest of the election is up to the courts.

Thanks...(for what it's worth, I don't assume that the propaganda is working for them)...

I knew it. See what happens when the 'Rats (tyrants) gain complete control? Step 1: outlaw dissent. Step 2: persecute the opposition. Step 3: jail opponents. Step 4: ready the gallows. The 'Rats have learned well for their idols (Stalin, Hitler, Mao, et al.).

It bloody well better die in committee. But the fact that some lousy 'Rat would try it at all is chilling enough.

There is one Rat legislator that every year introduces the most far-left way-out legislation that never has the chance of even being heard in committe, let alone being voted out of committe, let alone being voted on the floor. I don't know if this is that guy, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

The same thing happens on the national scale: every year legislation is introduced to eliminate the Electoral College, to institute the draft and any other host of far-left ideas. You see the name Rangel or Kennedy or Kucinich on these bills. They never go anywhere.

If yes then you are an dishonest, unprincipled partisan hack and if no then how dare you certify the results of an election that you don't even claim to know who won.

ROFL!

Good argument.

I am still waiting for a response, although I am not holding my breath.

Click on the keywords at the bottom of the article, that will bring up other threads that have had the same keyword added.

That is the Freerepublic way to try and keep track of articles that cover the same general area.

Yes, that is true. Seems we'll never be free of these wackos as long as there are no rules against introducing specious legislation. Still, the fact that they would think of such a thing at all is what I find discouraging. They are really being autocratic (which is what 'Rats do best, I guess).
