I agree about McCrory not being very conservative, but with a republican (?conservative?) state house I think he could be kept in line, pretty much. And I just don’t know of anyone else that would have as much of a chance. We haven’t had time to develop many real leaders in the new crop in Raleigh, someone that we could talk about and hold up a positive record, and build up a resume for. A century of Democrats running the state has left us with slim pickin’s.
My daughter graduated from college in 2009 and Gov Bev gave the commencement speech. Her main point of encouragement wasn’t about making a difference in the world, or any of the other feel good stuff they always say. She encouraged them to go and find a job right away so they could start paying taxes, because Raleigh needs the money. I felt like slapping the liberal out of her.
Thank goodness I don’t have to worry about living up there anymore. We are thinking possibly Alaska in a couple of years or a big houseboat and just cruise the waterways.
