Perdue represents just another four years of a Easley administration.

Sounds familiar to you guys on the national stage, doesn't it? Turn about is fair play.

I did several posts last week about McCrory's fundraising, esp. from Duke Power employees ... and you guys complained I was biased against him!

Can the Dome commenters agree whether I'm a Democratic or Republican stooge? It's confusing...

The difference is McCrory does not and did not ever run the senate.

Ok. So you are implying influence peddling or is this just the way politics works?

Either way, if you had any inclination to be balanced, you'd have similar numbers for McCrory and the rep. senators who have contributed to his campaign.

What's the point? They give to her campaign and she turns around and gives to their campaign. Just swapping the money back and forth.

One more thing, I didn't say I thought it was against the law, I asked if it is ethical.

So you think it's ok for legislators to stay at lobbyists homes? Isn't it the job of a lobbyist to get legislation favorable to their cause? Don't they already have an unfair advantage over the ordinary folk? $$$ Sorry, not me. Check out the W-ton Star News forum for other opinions.

So what? You think it's against the law for her to room with a lobbyist?

Are you nuts? Are you desperate?
