Reason #44 for term limits.

North Carolina Democrat politics make you just shake your head in disgust. The John Edwards Honey payoff is being investigated. The former governor Mike Easley (D) is being investigated by the FBI for taking gifts in the form of private jet rides among other things while in office. There is a federal grand jury investigation going on right now. Not to mention Mrs. Easley's sweetheart job at the state university. Several people have resigned over her hiring and 88% pay raise to . She is holding firm and staying put for now...Nancy Pelosi is her role-model. Lots of folks are calling for her resignation including University of North Carolina President Erskine Bowles. (Yes, that Erskine Bowles--who also landed a sweetheart job after being BJ Clinton's chief of staff.)

So that brings us to State Rep. Cary Allred. This guy has an 'R' next to his name (for now). He is reported to have had a drinky-poo or two, and stole a peck on the cheek from a 17 year old female page on the state house floor. He claims it was harmless and the girl is a neighbor and like his granddaughter. I have read reports where she has said the same thing. Nonethelesss, the state GOP leadership is not happy with him and is asking him to resign:

Linda Daves, chairwoman of the state Republican Party, said Thursday that Allred should resign.

"Conducting oneself in an honorable and ethical manner while acting as a public servant should be a mandate for both political parties," Daves said in a statement. "The North Carolina Republican Party is committed to recruiting candidates for public office who are men and women of unwavering integrity and honesty. All others need not apply."

I see a pattern here Republicans often take the high road. Richard Nixon resigned, Bill Clinton didn't. Newt Gingrich and Bob Livingstone resigned, Nancy Pelosi hasn't...

Rep. Allred was also caught speeding (102 m.p.h) and got a pass from the state trooper, initially. This guy is just up to his eyeballs in it.

Now here is where this gets good...Allred's response to his troubles-- He is going to change his letter to a 'D'!

He said he would switch to the Democratic Party next week...

Yep, he will solve his problems by joining the party of the Ass. After all they are the party of tolerance (to sexual abuse, abuse of power, lying, cheating on taxes, etc.)

The Democratic Party: A Safe-Haven for Scumbags.

The house leader is welcoming him with open arms...

A spokesman for House Speaker Joe Hackney said Allred "is welcome to do whatever he wants when it comes to party affiliation,"...

An American disgrace

CNN reports...

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- The Rev. Michael Pfleger has ordered the American flag at St. Sabina Church hung upside-down -- a historic sign of distress -- to symbolize the growing death toll among the city's youngsters.

So far this school year, 36 children and teens have been murdered -- more than one a week -- and Pfleger is among a chorus of weary Chicagoans who say the slayings aren't getting the attention they deserve.

Chicago. It's controlled by a powerful democrat party. It's hometown of the president. It's a dangerous place to be a kid.

More kids have been murdered in Chicago than have died of the swine flu in the entire country.

So this issue is getting some national attention. You know what we'll will hear out of Chi-town..."we need more tax dollars for programs to protect these kids."

Folks, that ain't the answer. Its time for a change. When will people wake up and realize the democrats are playing them? When the teat runs dry?

John Edwards' troubles

From our local TV station...

Raleigh, N.C. — A federal investigation is under way into whether funds from John Edwards' presidential campaign were used inappropriately, according to Wade Smith, an attorney for the former U.S. senator.

This guy is toast, politically. Elizabeth is throwing up over the affair. She should divorce him and get a nice settlement from the millions he made suing physicians, etc. If she does not get out now, there won't as much cash left after he gets through with the campaign irregularities.
Jump Elizabeth, jump.
