Video clips show Perdue's position on education

Last week, I pointed out that easy-to-find newspaper articles over a long period showed that Lt. Governor Bev Perdue has long supported education, from pre-school all the way through college. (http://bluenc.com/perdues-consistent-support-for-education) In fact, nothing has ever disputed that until the television ad that has been running for the past week.

Then someone told me to check YouTube, the video website. I did, and I found more evidence there, from tv news reports and from speeches given by Perdue herself. I don't know how to put up the videos here to be watched, but I can give you the links to them:

Here, Perdue tells WLOS, everything comes back to education: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2ZxTJE8pTw .

And here, Perdue says children are the most important resource: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7H7SOa0csY .

And here, Perdue discusses building an educated workforce: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdpPCuwjgBw .

But here's the ad that questions her commitment to education: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1qbimjd9tc .

Unfortunately, the General Assembly's website does not show the voting records of all the legislators in the House that year. I looked, but I couldn't find out who else voted for the budgets highlighted in the tv ad.

One thing is clear, though. Plenty of evidence shows that Perdue has supported education for a long time, and apparently she still does.

And Helms begat Reagan...


Arguably, Ronald Reagan's Helms enabled win in the 1976 NC primary was all the encouragement he needed to try again in 1980, setting the stage for the Reagan Revolution and synergistic escapades like this one...

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
