At least if she were in the Senate with Rick Scott they could start their own "Crook Caucus". Title: Re: Sources: Nikki Haley to be indicted on tax fraud. Post by: You kip if you want to... on March 29, 2012, 01:41:31 PM Funny how in 2010, people were already talking of Haley 2016.

Her Lieutenant Governor resigned three weeks ago after being embattled on dozens of ethics charges. The Senate President Pro Tem became the new Lieutenant Governor, one Glenn McConnell, whose only significance of note is being a vitriolic supporter of the Confederate flag (and at one point claimed that an attempt to take down a Confederate battle flag was equivalent to "cultural genocide").

Post by: Torie on March 29, 2012, 04:19:54 PM Are there any rumors or stories as to what this is about? Did she just fail to report income, or what was considered income, because she took "gifts" or had a business and had phoney expense deductions or what? It has to be pretty egregious for your tax reporting problems to be deemed appropriate to treat as a criminal rather than civil matter.
Title: Re: Sources: Nikki Haley to be indicted on tax fraud. Post by: Oakvale on March 29, 2012, 04:23:51 PM I remember reading that she's quite unpopular in South Carolina, if not quite at Kasich/Scott levels - I assumed it was just general incompetence, but maybe this has something to do with it. ;)

Title: Re: Sources: Nikki Haley to be indicted on tax fraud. Post by: True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자) on March 29, 2012, 07:56:22 PM Well, this is certainly amusing!

Meet your next governor, South Carolina! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_F._McConnell) Now, now. McConnell does have an interest in the Confederacy, which for some people is controversial, so it has gotten outsized importance in his Wikipedia article since there was no real reason for people outside the state to pay much attention to him until lately. Other than his Confederacy quirk, he is by the standards of South Carolina politics a moderate Republican, and a competent one. The way our State Senate works, the president pro tem is usually a centrist as the Republican usually squabble over two candidates and the Democrats pick the one who they think is less likely to turn even trivial matters into party-line votes. At this point, I'm more inclined to suspect fiscal incompetence than fiscal criminality on Haley's part if there is anything more than smoke here. At this point not even the local alternative newspaper is covering it, and they usually do a decent job of covering such stuff. Damn I was hoping more details emerged from her affair.

Haley is fighting back. Quote from: The State Gov. Nikki Haley vehemently denied Thursday that she is in any way connected to a 2011 tax audit of the Sikh temple in Chapin where her parents are leaders. “It is flat out not true,” Haley said of speculation that has swirled around the State House for weeks that she is tied to the IRS audit of the Broad River Road temple. “I have never kept their books. I’ve never made deposits. I never signed checks. I never did financial statements,” Haley said. Title: Re: Sources: Nikki Haley to be indicted on tax fraud. Post by: ○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└ on March 30, 2012, 12:54:54 AM It would have been hilarious if she got indicted before her Lt Governor got into trouble so that South Carolina could have had THREE scandal ridden Republican governors in a short period of time. Of course the idiotic voters would still blindly vote for whatever scumbag the Republican party nominated, regardless.

Post by: Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee on March 31, 2012, 06:40:35 PM Haley, like with Sanford before her, is standing in the way of a large number for Democrat turned Republican porkers, who would probably be doing far worse, if given a free hand. They have much incentive to try and tarnish her and make her look hypocritical. I wonder if they were behind this false story.
Title: Re: Sources: Nikki Haley to be indicted on tax fraud.

They have much incentive to try and tarnish her and make her look hypocritical. I wonder if they were behind this false story. It's turned out to be such a laughable false story that I can't help but wonder if someone in Haley's circle planted it so that she could play the victim card again. I'd hope no one in politics would be stupid enough to think that something so flimsy as this turned out to be would actually be damaging. On the other hand, the SCDP does not always do smart things. Haley has some real but minor problems with an ethics investigation. This will be a nice distraction from it and let her charge that it is just as baseless.
