It always amazes me when you hear a politician take exception to their own constituency.  61% of North Carolina voters approved the amendment.   Governor Perdue says they are acting like Mississippians.   No, in actuality, they are not.  North Carolinians are acting like North Carolinians….  It is the progressive Democrat Governor out of touch with her own state, acting like a New York governor.
But that’s exactly the way the left works.  They cannot fathom an electorate that does not think the same way they do.   That’s why the fleabaggers left Wisconsin like crybabies when they were faced with defeat.  They just cannot accept the reality of being in the minority.  
NORTH CAROLINA – Passage of a constitutional amendment defining marriage as solely between a man and a woman makes North Carolina “look like Mississippi,” Gov. Beverly Perdue said Friday.

Perdue was in Greenville as part of her tour to tout her proposed state budget for 2012-2013. The governor was responding to a question on the amendment from a reporter from WITN-TV in Washington.
“I think it’s wrong for North Carolina, clearly and simply,” she said. “People around the country are watching us and they’re really confused, to have been such a progressive, forward-thinking, economically driven state that invested in education and that stood up for the civil rights of people, including the civil rights marches back in the ’50s and ’60s and ’70s.
“Folks are saying, ‘What in the world is going on in North Carolina?’ We look like Mississippi.”
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant took offense at Perdue’s comment.
“I am certainly disappointed by Gov. Perdue’s statement regarding North Carolina’s ‘looking like Mississippi,’” Bryant said in a statement. “Apparently, North Carolina’s voters are much more in line with Mississippi’s traditional values on marriage than those of Gov. Perdue.”  (Read More)
