We're printing and giving away money as fast as its being printed. Maybe we need more offset presses. We have plenty of prisons to train pressmen. Plenty of paper and ink just fire up the heildlebergs.

McCrory and Pope will probably get that order wrong too.

So that is why we need bills that eliminate much of the legislative ethics rules, and tax college kids for voting?

Exactly.
Just look back to 2009-2010 on that same website and review some of the polls listed
i.e. 11/2009: 45% think Democrats are corrupt compared to 37% who think Republicans are corrupt.

Almost goes back to the saying: "the backup QB is always the most popular person in town"

Well who didn't see this coming:

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory is putting his stamp on the board responsible for running elections and monitoring campaign finance reports statewide.

McCrory announced Friday he's appointing a new State Board of Elections. Three are Republicans and two are Democrats, a choice reflecting GOP control over state government.

The appointments take effect Wednesday, the day after the current, Democrat-led elections board votes on whether to open a campaign finance investigation into 2012 political donations from the operators of sweepstakes games.
Chicago could learn a thing from our boys.

Of course. McCrory is afraid of this.

I mean who wouldn't appoint a new board if they could when said board is looking into $230,000 of illegally laundered contributions some of which went through their former lobbying firm and to their governorship campaign.

Dumb and corrupt...what a combo.

I think the fact that the criminal probe into the company which gave them the money has already claimed the Lieutenant Governor of Florida probably has them a little worried. This move doesn't make them look any less guilty.

I agree.

I think that it makes them look more guilty.

Announcing it as a Friday evening news dump doesn't help matters either.
