"You kind of left out the fact that Decker was a Republican who switched parties for money."

If Decker had been a Republican at the time of his sentencing, he would have probably gotten the electric chair or life without parole.

I know he's happy that he switched over to the Democratic Party. Freedom is just around the corner. It looks like the courts understand that when Democrats break the law that they really are only bending the rules a little in order to "help the people, save the schools and stand up for education."

All these guys who cross the line have good intentions. They have good hearts. They were good children.

They are all crooks and should be thrown under the bus!! Get rid of all the crooks in Raleigh and replace them with some hard working "unemployed" people who know what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck. They could do a lot better job at a 10th of the cost of these turds we call politicians!!!!!!

This seems to be a good month for Jim Black and his buddies. First, Black gets to hand off some land of questionable value rather than hard, cold cash. Now Decker gets out early.

I guess they need the room for Mike Easley.

You kind of left out the fact that Decker was a Republican who switched parties for money. But at least you didn't call him another corrupt Democrat, so I guess it's alright. :)

Jokes jokes jokes. But seriously, if you go to Crooks Corner, and you don't get the shrimp 'n grits...you're an idiot.

Also, props to the guy at Crooks who invented the Bitter Bartender. Fantastic cocktail.

If they had held the meeting in Greenville, the dish of the evening could have been Pulled Pitt Barbecue.

It's reassuring to know that Dr. Dean has a good political bedside manner.

They are also having smaller events and fundraisers that cost anywhere from $6.10 to $15.
