Our "Esteemed" Governor Up To No Good...AGAIN!
"This is the most important letter I have ever written to you," Ehrlich wrote in the letter to contributors mailed this week. "That's why I've taken the extraordinary step of sending you a real dollar bill. . . . I don't expect you to keep this dollar. I'm asking that you return this dollar along with a contribution of $25 or more."DeLeaver said the campaign used the technique four years ago with no complaints.
"If there's an issue here, it's four years too late," she said.
But DeMarinis said the letter raises "multiple issues."
It is clearly illegal under Maryland law for candidates to give people money to garner their vote. The propriety of what Ehrlich did is less clear, he said.
The law also requires campaign expenditures to be made by check, and this involves cash, DeMarinis said.
The state attorney general's office is assisting with his inquiry, DeMarinis said.
Well what do you know, old Erlich is up to no good yet again! Not only did he break one set of laws, he actually broke two regarding campaign money. Plain and simple it's illegal to buy votes and it's illegal to pay for anything in cash. There's one and there two for you. Maybe this is why he needed all that tainted Abramoff money to buy this election, though he'll probably just as easily switch the old Diebold machines in his favor to "win", but I digress.
His defense is lame. Basically he argues that he got away with it four years ago so he should be allowed to continue to break the law with impunity now. Wow! What a great message to send out to criminals...It's ok to break the law as long as you can get away with it! I mean go ahead and commit murder or rape or whatever else you want to do, just know how to get away with it and if you get away with it once, it's ok to continue to commit your crimes because after all you did it once before! I just feel the moral values abounding with this man! More of those legendary Republican "moral values" that we always hear about, when in reality the only "values" they have are being indecent and they are anything but moral! They are only law breaking, generally miserable human beings devoid of souls. It just warms the heart doesn't it?
