Those Repubs in N.C. are grasping at straws.

Swope deserved to be fired. He intentionally ignored a customer.

True, but the governor is feckless when he claims he doesn't understand where that sentiment is coming from.

He deserved it? If the shoe was on the other foot we'd be hearing all about tea partiers.

True but I'll bet the job offers are rolling in. Huzzah to him having the courage to speak his mind.

I do not think a tea party Republican store clerk would complain about a Governor who actually lessened his tax burden.

It was still an abuse of power by the governor. From what I read he ignored an a**hole not a customer.
