A veteran state lawmaker in North Carolina says she pushed the wrong button late Monday night in a marathon legislative session and accidentally opened up the state to fracking.

Rep. Becky Carney, a five-term Democrat from Charlotte, burst into tears after mistakenly voting with Republicans to override Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue’s veto of the contentious legislation.

She might consider not even running again.

It will be hard to outlive this.

Lieutenant Starbuck approves.

[scooby321]

Some enviro group took back an award they gave her.

LOL

I personally think she took some $$$$$ because in January Beth Perdue is out of office and it passes then

[DManA]

She burst into tears because she know there are people out there who will hurt her or her family over this.

She probably thought voting RED meant voting WITH Republicans.

[A Strict Constructionist]

She was disappointed when she found it wasn’t a new type of sexual perversion she was approving.

[The Antiyuppie]

I hope that she is off the list as a Presidential candidate.

“She probably thought voting RED meant voting WITH Republicans.”

Does that mean that she does NOT get the food pellet reward?

[stevem]

I don’t buy it. We have a Democrat who knows the Democrat agenda is moronic but can’t acknowledge it to her family.

[Puckster]

Either way............sweeeeeeeet!

[SuziQ]

Dang! I HATE when that happens!

[Del Rapier]

Maybe she is not qualified to be a lawmaker.

[Puckster]

“Dang! I HATE when that happens!”

HATE....as in Hilarious Accident of Terrific Effectiveness?

Or...Her Abiotrophic Term is Ended?

Or, or....Hagiarchic Ablepsia Taphephobic Ebriection?

but, I digress.....I’m simply happy it passed.

See 63 of 63.

The Traveling Wilburys’ song “End of the Line” seems appropriate at this juncture.

[Bshaw]

Racist vote button configuration. Call the U.N. for an investigation!

[Puckster]

Perfectly sound reasoning to me.

[princeofdarkness]

Or worse resentful Dems who will primary her for this. :^)

[CSM]

You got my vote, unlees you hubby runs. Then I would be voting for him...yer profile comment convinced me!

[JimRed]

Or, maybe it was intentional, and the "mistake" is cover for her breaking with Marxist Democrat policy.

[Puckster]

I’ll go with that.....a man with hope.....like it!
