NC lawmakers have apparently accidentally legalized fracking. A veto of a bill by soon-to-be-both-gone-and-forgotten Gov Bev Perdue was overridden due to Rep. Becky Carney (D-Mecklenburg) pressing the wrong button. For once, a Democrat frack-up helps the economy.

Congratulations Ms. Carney, you just made my Stupid Democrats web page: http://jpattitude.com/StupidDemocrats.php
Anybody remember how Harry Reid voted against Obamacare twice? Fortunately the senile old fart has handlers standing inches away at all times to correct him when his mind wanders. (Okay, maybe "fortunately" is the wrong word...)
Stupidity on display. How nice to see it....
In her career, she's only made ONE mistake--which Just Happens to be when she casts the Deciding Vote.
Sure, sure...
Count how many votes she has cast Without making a mistake. I'll bet you Can't!

Mrs Jay Carney?
Now, that makes sense.
Soon, she will be a hero for making a mistake when her state becomes addicted to the added revenue. Tobacco isn't good enough.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FRAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said Oh frak hehe
Proving once again that your average Democrat really is too stupid to vote.
Hitting a button is to easy, every politician should have to say yea or nay, if for nothing else so a competitor could replay that yea or nay vote over and over and over in political ads, especially if the vote is something highly controversial like say, I don't know, Obamacare?
It's funny, I go through the drive-through at KFC and not only does my order come up on the screen there, but the person taking my order reads it back to me because clearly they assume I'm an idiot. In politics, major decisions are clearly not taken as seriously.
It's also stupid, she should have been able to change it if it was clear she was mistaken and had a history supporting the exact opposite outcome. Do Republicans want to hear that? Probably not. Yet she was elected and the people of NC should get what they deserve.
The Clown Convention is only 2 months away now. I'm glad to see they are staying up late and practicing.
