Virginia's Democrat governor says he'll use
executive orders to nullify the vote of GOP General Assembly.
Virginia is like South Carolina could be.
A third-party candidate took almost 7 percent of the vote in Virginia in 2013. It
resulted in the improbable election of a Democrat to replace a
Republican as governor.
Now, Virginia's budget fails to pay for
what it's spending by $2.4 billion, but Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe made it
clear he still plans to find a way to pay for Obamacare.
The $2.4 billion shortfall is for a
three-year period. Major budget cuts, affecting teacher salaries, will
be required and the commonwealth will have to risk its credit rating
by raiding reserves.
And even though the Virginia
legislature just swung to a resistant Republican majority, McAuliffe said he’s
ready to use his power, via executive order, to impose Obamacare.
And like South Carolina, Virginia's
GOP-led House and Senate also approved a budget that rejected the
expansion of Medicaid. But McAuliffe said he'll use executive orders
to take the actions he deems necessary to expand Medicaid.
In South Carolina, if wealthy, self-financed trial lawyer,
Tom Ervin can skim enough votes from media-led GOP voters, South
Carolina could end up with an Obama-centric governor, forcing failed
federal fiscal policy on South Carolina.
Republican Gov. Nikki Haley defeated
Democrat Vincent Sheheen by 4.5 percent in 2010. South Carolina is
that close to turning an already bad Obama-economy into a nightmare of liberal
spending for programs that will break the state.
And to this point,
Tom Ervin has shown no concern for the welfare of his state. If he
wakes up, he will abandon his bid for governor, and support GOP
leaders in the fight against the failed and costly policies of the
left. We cannot afford a Democrat governor. Just ask Virginia.
