Gubernatorial Debate Bingo

McCrory has no negative ads? That's pretty funny! I suppose he can't "legally" get the Status Quo Bev ads. off the air. No, the real truth is that McCrory has no backbone. He is hiding behind RGA and pretending to be clean. Does he really think NC citizens are that stupid??
His ads are among the most negative ones in any other debate. Get a spine, McCrory or at least understand that we get it.

Bev: "....mumble.. mumble.. Vouchers! Vouchers! Look out he has VOUCHERS!"

McCrory: "something...something accessible leadership. For the future."

Munger: "Don't go chilipunking me."

And if I can borrow the "fact check" hat, yes, our criminal justice system is beyond broken in Char-Meck and getting funding for it simply has not been a priority for McCrory or ANY of the QC's leadership.

Otherwise we would not have whipped a car rental tax hike, a hotel-motel tax hike, $40m. for an Uptown UNCC building, $10m. for Johnson & Wales etc. etc. etc. out of Raleigh INSTEAD OF money for our courts and prosecutors -- and that is just in the past few years and just off the top of my head.

You’ll have to listen real hard to hear any of these comments:

Bev might say, “I was hesitant to come here to Charlotte……what with the crime being so bad and all.”

Munger might say, “I can spell coach K’s last name ………..and say it too.”

McCrory might say, “I intend to move the Queen City curse to Raleigh and cast it upon Basnight and Rand.”

Bev might say, “If elected I will buy some of those glasses like Sarah Palin wears….. even though I don’t need them.”

Munger might say, “I have all the right ideas but us Libertarians don’t like the voters because most of them are stupid.”

McCrory might say, “Munger and I both work for Duke.”

Bev might say, “If Pat loses because of the Queen City curse and I lose because of the Lieutenant Governor’s curse, then Munger will need to get a better hair cut.”

Munger might say, “If Bev and Pat presented their economic platforms in one of my classes, I would send them to Rand and Basnight to see if they approve.”

Munger might say, “What with all these banks closing up, can you still get a check cashed in Charlotte?”

Bev might say, “I can work better with President Obama because I’m a Democrat.”
Pat might say, “I can work better with President Obama because I know how to cross the aisle.”
Mike might say, “I can work better with President Obama because everybody is scared of us Libertarians.”

And then the moderator says, “I vote we throw our lot in with South Carolina.”

This is a family newspaper, so yes ... a chocolate milk drinking game.

This seems more along the lines of a drinking game than bingo.

Perdue might say: "Before answering, I'd like to first poll the audience to see what they'd like me to say."

McCrory might say: "Before answering, I'd like to call George Bush to see what he'd like me to say."

Munger might say: "Yeah, I might represent a fringe political ideology, but shouldn't being twice as smart as these bozos count for something?"

NC voters might say: "Can we have a do-over on the primaries?"

Pat: Negative ads by Beverly - that are often unfounded or half-truths, particularly regarding Charlotte's crime rate (See below comments from Charlotte Observer and Greensboro News & Record):

Fighting crime isn't just a local responsibility
Democratic attack ads have tarred Pat McCrory for Charlotte's crime rate.

A Charlotte Observer editorial today provides some reality: The story of a man arrested last week for allegedly raping a 12-year-old girl. He's been arrested more than 30 times in the past 10 years but never dealt with effectively.

Here's the point: Police make the arrests. That's a city function. Prosecution is up to the state -- and that's where the failure lies in this case, the Observer writes.

McCrory has been so frustrated that he and other municipal leaders have pushed the state for years to step it up. This year, Charlotte put $2 million of city money into the local court system -- a state responsibility -- to help see to it that criminals, once arrested by the police, aren't simply let go again to commit more crimes.

The Democrats are bashing the Republican mayor of Charlotte because he happens to be running for governor. But, because Democrats run state government, they would be more fair and truthful with the people of Charlotte and North Carolina if they acknowledged that fighting crime requires a bipartisan effort by state and local governments
