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,"...
