Mike Easley, Former N.C. Governor, Convicted on Felony Campaign Finance Charge

He should be disgraced doing time in prison for a felony....that's what they would do to you and I. What a waste of time and money.

It's time for Stephen King to write a novel about the horrors and felonies of politics. It could be a first non fiction novel for him. Maybe, about why candidates and lobbyists wastes many millions of dollars so someone can get elected to a job that pays a couple of hundred thousand a year. Where's the economics in that? And why, we, the Mob are so stupid to allow this travesty of evolved government to continue. Like, why is the government hiring 16,000 people to handle Obamacare when it could have been outsourced to existing insurance companies put under government regulations. If we can't even deliver mail profitably, just think what will happen when we run healthcare. Like dope addicts, maybe this nation has to hit bottom before it's rescued from itself.

Jesus loves me yes I know......

Do I understand this article correctly? There was a two year investigation and the guy gets a $1000 fine and $153 court costs charge? Who pays the salaries of the poeple doing the investigation for the last two years. The article does not indicate how many hours or people were involved. I doubt a thousand bucks is going to recoup any of the costs involved. This is a perfect example of goverment spending wasting taxpayer dollars. Fine the guy $250,000, and then maaaybbbbeeee it was a worthwhile investment in time, depending on the number of investigators involved. It would be different if the governor was found innocent and no charges could possibly be filed, then $153 would seem more than fair.

The big surprise here is that you actually learn the Governor's political affiliation in the first paragraph. Normally when a Democrat is involved you have to wait till the end of the piece or it leaves you guessing. If a piece is written about a Republican that is the word that leads the story.

In Louisiana, they finally caught up with Governor Edwin Edwards, after years of trying, and gave that crook 10 years in prison, which is about to end in a few months. He had to serve the whole time. This is what we should do to every crooked politician that is caught betraying the voters trust!!

It's the democratic, leftest way. Just look at the Obama Administration. How many Tax ivaders are in the administration? Sharpton and Waters. Obama the Soris puppet.

YEP...........THATS OUR LAWBRAKERS OOPS LAW MAKERS ;+{

2 Years of tax payers paying the bill to investigate, I can only imagine how much $$$$ that cost. And he get's a $1,000.00 fine.

Think this was the only item he would be charged with? Think again. Oh well; at least now the feds have time to indict Rankin for tax evasion.....(RIGHT!! like that's going to happen!!).
