This is partisanship at its ugliest.

Just sayin' you might want to read the article provided. -- nm - spamlet Dec 16, 12:13 1
- (What's with the presumption that I didn't read the article? Doesn't change my opinion) - ty97 Dec 16, 12:15
Which, if you read the article, is precisely what happened in 1987 with roles reversed. It's bad precedent, but par for the course in NC politics. - ML Dec 16, 12:13 5
- Slavery was par for the course. That's a shit argument for continuing something bad. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 12:17 4
  - (And no, I'm not equating this to slavery, just using an extreme example of why 'par for the course' is a ridiculous defense) -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 12:17 3
    - And is a nonsensical counterargument but whatever we'll leave it on B2. -- nm - ML Dec 16, 12:19 2
      - Nah, it makes tons of sense, you just never like to admit that. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 12:24 1
        
        As long as you will call Dems out too, it is fine. -- nm - Spawn Dec 16, 12:26
“It really has a longstanding tradition in North Carolina, this fight.” -- nm - Spawn Dec 16, 12:11 5
- That doesn't make it any less partisan or any less wrong. - ty97 Dec 16, 12:12 4
  - Of course it's partisan! -- nm - ML Dec 16, 12:15
  - The example they give from the 80s shows this is old school for the state. Dumb, but I agree with not blaming Republicans for anymore than half. -- nm - Spawn Dec 16, 12:13 2
    - I blame the GOP in this instance b/c they are the ones doing it in this istance. -- nm - ty97 Dec 16, 12:16
    - yep...nm - x Dec 16, 12:14
