Delightful 12-year old, 1. Prickly Gov. McCrory, 0. | Citizen
Well, that's going to be a one-term governor (if he actually lasts that long). Hopefully, the good (read: still sane) people of NC are paying careful attention to Moral Mondays, and they will turn out in enough numbers to overcome Republican gerrymandering, aka as yet another disgrace by the party who can only get into power by lying, cheating, and stealing.
Gross Old Pricks, indeed.
So McCrory missed out on meeting a 12-year old who is extremely bright, very well-spoken and polite, and in no need of anyone to put her up to anything — Madison Kimrey is the real deal and the only unreal thing about her is that she's 12 and 4'8, but she sounds and acts like a young adult. A serious young adult.
With a serious question that the governor would do well to ask himself: How does it help voter integrity to get rid of a program that helps high-school students get ready to vote when they're 18?
Or, as Colin Powell asked at a CEO forum in Raleigh today after McCrory had high-tailed it out of there, how can there be such widespread voter fraud in North Carolina as McCrory claims and yet it's undetected? Powell, with whom McCrory really doesn't want to share cake, blasted the voter-suppression bill our governor is so proud of, saying it delivers a clear message to minority voters that they're being punished for turning out in big numbers in 2008 and 2012.
