Conservatives and libertarians seem to be really upset that a Democratic governor here actually pushed a democratic agenda and got stuff done. What's the point in being elected in the first place if you're not going to try and change things for the better?
I'd rather be a one-term governor that got a lot of stuff done than a two-term governor who didn't do anything out of fear of upsetting some yellow avatars from across the country.
The problem with this is that the democrats always complain about republican governors pushing their agenda in the same way. The D's calling them extremists and what not, maybe he's just pushing his agenda too. I don't really care what anybody calls "extreme" or "radical" or the definition that they give, there doing the same thing regardless of what people think. McCrory of North Carolina is a good example lately. So I don't think anyone should complain about complaining on the other side.
There's a difference though. Public polling was actually in favor of increased gun control laws after Aurora & Sandy Hook. Not so much for voter disenfranchisement and extreme budget cuts.
