billvon 2,394 #26 March 14, 2017 So apparently McCrory is having a hard time finding a job because for some reason people think he's a bigot. O the horror. ===================== The former Republican governor says HB2 “has impacted me to this day, even after I left office. People are reluctant to hire me, because, ‘oh my gosh, he’s a bigot’ – which is the last thing I am.” . . .The former governor said that he’s been considered for part-time university teaching positions – he wouldn’t say where – but that academic leaders “have shown reluctance because of student protests.” Read more here: http://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article138266443.html#storylink=cpy ===================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,381 #29 April 25, 2017 Republican North Carolina judge resigns — and slams the GOP on the way out NC GOP goons were in the middle of preventing the incoming Democrat governor from being able to appoint judges. A sitting GOP judge just threw them a curve ball.

I was encouraged to see McCain and Graham having supper at the WH the other day. On the one hand two guys the almost always tell the truth vr.... well... its trump. On the one hand about a million years of public service and on the other ... well its trump. Two real men with bona fide character and well you know the rest.

billvon 2,394 #36 April 26, 2017 >There are plenty of them. But right now they don't get a lot of encouragement. Excellent point. Republicans won't support them because they are "traitors" - democrats won't support them because they are the enemy. Which is unfortunate. Politicians who buck the trend of their own party are the closest we get to centrist policymakers nowadays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
