MCCRORY:VOTE FOR NORTH CAROLINA NOT TEXAS



I watched a TV commercial in support for Pat McCrory for governor of North Carolina. Everyone recognized this guy as a vantejista and advantage taker. Some like to think this would be a good trait to have in a governor; nonetheless, they should be careful. His interest is not to serve the state but to serve himself. This is not just empty rhetoric. For example, he said he will open the state to “fracking for gas”. Even though geologists tell us there is very little gas, there are lots of negatives for doing this such as mini earth quakes and gas contamination of water supplies.  If he is willing to turn our state’s natural resources over to the nation’s energy industry while ignoring the down side, ask why. The answer is because of big campaign donations. However, there is something more important to the people of North Carolina and the people of the United States.

The fine print on the bottom of the McCrory TV ad said “funded” by the Republican Governors Association”.  Ask yourself, what the Republican Governors’ Association is going to gain by electing McCrory as Governor. Nothing, but those who support that association will. The point is that the people made rich by the energy industry in Alaska, Texas, North Dakota, and Oklahoma will have our governor representing their interest and not ours; do you think they care if your tape water burns or you house shakes.  They only care if they can make more money-American Greed in the raw.  Rethink you vote.
