Politics Going To The Dogs
It’s bad enough that less than 3 percent of eligible voters turned out for Charlotte’s primary elections last week; worse still that they managed to elect a lesbian community organizer who got a bulk of her campaign boost from left-wing rouge advocacy groups, apparently has never held a real job and has at least one bankruptcy on record, as the Democrat heir apparent to represent the westside’s District 3, where LaWana Mayfield ousted four-term incumbent Warren Turner, who was reeling from sexual harassment allegations stemming from his latest stint on council.
It’s bad enough that Republican at-large primary candidate Mohamed Moustafa has been charged, but not convicted, with multiple criminal offenses, including communicating threats, assault on a female, and assault by pointing a gun; or that Democrat at-large primary winner and incumbent councilmember Patrick Cannon has a record stretching back to 2003 of since-satisfied IRS liens of nearly $200,000.
It’s bad enough that the southeast’s District 7 GOP incumbent will retain his council seat by convincing all of 562 people to cast a ballot; or that incumbent Democrat District 4 representative Michael Barnes didn’t even have a primary opponent and moves on without a fight to face Republican candidate Larry Shannon, who nearly a decade ago was convicted of simple assault charges and communicating threats.
But for proof positive that politics has literally gone to the dogs around these parts, and as precursor to what’s in store next year, look no farther than this:
