Tillis brags about destroying public education

Playing to a crowd of idiots:

Tillis drew cheers when he said the budget cut one-third of the staff of the state Department of Public Instruction. He noted that the building is called "the Pink Palace," a derisive term Republican Lt Gov. Jim Gardner applied to it in the 1980s.

"To be fair, it's a beautiful building," Tillis said. "It's pink granite. We think condo complexes or something else, if you need office space."

That crack alone is worth a Veto from the Governor, Party of Five or not.

Another shill for the Koch Brothers and Art Pope

They love to demonize government so that they may rationalize destroying it. Vote the bums out!

Republican Dress Code?

"To be fair, it's a beautiful building," Tillis said. "It's pink granite. We think condo complexes or something else, if you need office space."* Story

Confirms what most of us thought for a long time.. It takes one Sissy Prissy Republican to know another Sissy Republican in drag.......

This idiot is really a jerk. He is simply unqualified to be a human, much less leader of the Senate.
