NCGOPers are finalists for 2023 national Gambling Awards! (Um, YAY?)
Yes, you read that right. Some influential members of the “Republican revolution” on Jones Street — Rep. Jason Saine and Senator Jim Perry — are in the running for Gambling.com’s “Policymaker of The Year.”
(Personally, I think those two ought to hold out for whatever pornhub.com is offering.)
Yep. Here we are in the heart of the so-called “Bible Belt” ready to legalize weed and casinos. *Who’da thunk it?*
Show off hands. WHO asked for this? ANY of THIS? *Personally, I’d like to be able to fill my gas tank or visit the grocery store without first calling my broker. *
This year, these guys get the nod from Gambling.com. Next year? Finalists for ‘Daddy of The Year’ over at pimpsandwhores.com. (Just you wait.)
The next time one of these guys from Jones Street with an (R) next to their name comes around telling you how much they love Jesus and their family and apple pie and ‘Merica, think long and hard about all the weed and gambling money that got passed around Raleigh.
It’s nothing to be proud of to be singled out as “Policymaker of the Year” by a special interest. That’s an announcement to the world that YOU ARE OWNED. Yeah, and you’re owned by folks who got their stuff passed via a lot of secretive meetings and cash-lined pockets.
Saine and Perry. . .what a pair of special interest prostitutes, always out there turning tricks for the special interests for that campaign cash.
I am surprised there are not more awards from other special interest groups. Both of these clowns were active in pushing the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, turning tricks for Big Medicine in return for campaign contributions. They did not care that they were pushing a major plank of Obama / Biden policy. Maybe Big Medicine or perhaps Obama gave them awards we have not heard of yet.
Then there is the Green New Deal, North Carolina’s version of which will not only cause our electric rates to go up a lot but even makes it easier for “woke” electric monopoly Duke Energy to raise them. Perry and Saine got their payola from Duke and from the wind and solar grifters, so they stuck it to the ratepayers, a/k/a their constituents. It would not be suprising if Duke, the wind / solar grifters, or maybe Greta Thunberg or Al Gore gave them an award for that.
The list could go on, but one thing Republican activists need to remember is that we need to vet candidates better when filling legislative vacanies, as both of these special interest prostitutes first got into the legislature by snagging an appointment to fill a vacancy. Saine was a down-on-his-luck failed political consultant living off of unemployment compensation and needing a paycheck when he snagged his appointment to the NC House. Has he ever gotten a real job since? Perry was a spoiled and bored rich guy who had never done doodly squat in the Republican Party, who had just sold his company and was looking for something to occupy his time when he snagged his appointment. Republicans need to send up legislators who work for their constituents, not turn tricks for the special interests.
Saine is a self important loser. How in the H is he remotely qualified to be in charge of spending.
Jason Saine and Jim Perry are destroying the reputation for good and honest government the NC GOP once had in the General Assembly. Our state party organization needs to rethink how vacancies are filled when legislative seats come open due to resignations. If these two characters can wrangle their way into the legislature with no obvious qualifications, we are in bad shape for sure.
