Great, Gary. You're going after Pope here for NOT saying something. Look, anyone with half a brain that follows politics even a little knows that the democratic party and those that represent the democratic party (like you, my friend) will be going over every word Pope says to find something that "should have been said" or somehow is wrong or even a lie. This element will be looking at each and every policy Pope presents to find a way to show how it's racist or "against the poor and middle class" or favoring the wealthy and even Pope himself in his business ventures.

Gary, if you don't think that we have to make cuts in areas (like the huge budget items in the health and human services)that are being overspent and where abuses are rampant while making sure we continue to improve our education system in NC, then you're not looking at the situation pragmatically. We aren't going to be able to raise revenue enough to give what we give now to just so many in our state. And, if you honestly believe that everyone receiving state taxpayer assistance that costs billions in our state are "needy" and "deserving", you're wearing one hell of a set of blinders. If the media and the democrats let Pope do what he needs to do, we will have one fiscally sound and strong state with many good things coming our way. If the media and the democrats do as I have said I believe will happen, he will be unsuccessful...which is probably what the dems want in the first place anyway.
