GREENVILLE, N.C. — Passage of a constitutional amendment defining marriage as solely between a man and a woman makes North Carolina "look like Mississippi," Gov. Beverly Perdue said Friday.

Perdue was in Greenville as part of her tour to tout her proposed state budget for 2012-2013. The governor was responding to a question on the amendment from a reporter from WITN-TV in Washington (http://bit.ly/JptsXG ).

"I think it's wrong for North Carolina, clearly and simply," she said. "People around the country are watching us and they're really confused, to have been such a progressive, forward-thinking, economically driven state that invested in education and that stood up for the civil rights of people, including the civil rights marches back in the '50s and '60s and '70s.

"Folks are saying, 'What in the world is going on in North Carolina?' We look like Mississippi."

Beverly is obviously an ingorant twit in addition to being a worthless road whore. From the outcome of the vote, it very well may be that North Carolina has as many good, god fearing people as Mississippi and the comparison may be warranted.

Any state should should consider itself lucky to be compared to Mississippi.

No, Governnor. You put the matter before the people, and the people spoke. Plainly and simply. Your CONSTITUENCY voted, and as a body, decided to define a marriage as being between a man and a woman. It is YOUR JOB to support the will of the people of the state you REPRESENT in this matter, and set aside your personal feelings.

If you personally choose not to agree, that's your right. But your role is to support the will of the people and not run around whining like a spoiled child!
