If you want to see some of the dirty laundry being aired by the Republicans in Cary, head over here. It seems they have elected Republicans that literally do not care to what party a person belongs. Of course, that's not completely true. You see, when a person is in an elected office, their membership in a party does tend to influence their position on votes (at least if you're a Democrat).

Also, if a board is majority Republican, but a Democrat takes the place of one of the Republicans, there is zero chance ANY Republican issues will ever see the light of day (see: Charlotte City Council, Mecklenburg County Council, NC House, NC Senate).

But hey, it's all about being "nice" and "non-partisan," isn't it? Never mind the politics or the laws that will be passed that are anti-freedom, right? Tell me why we even HAVE party affiliations if they don't matter?

1 That is kind of the point. Cary elections - by law - are supposed to be non-partisan. They obviously aren't.

2 In this day and age there is literally no such thing as a non-partisan election, no matter how much one appears to be. A perfect case in point is the election of judges in NC -- go to any county party site and they will have links to the judges that are of their party. There's no such thing as non-partisan today in anything, much less politics. If that's the logical extension of your point, then I obviously get it. Thanks for stopping along!
