Yet another member of the Democrat Culture of Corruption, NC Democratic Party Executive Director Jay Parmley, has been caught paying a former staff member, in order to cover up allegations of sexual misconduct, which in this case was Sexual Harassment.

Mr. Parmley did the right thing for his party, and the country, by quickly resigning from his government position, as more corrupt members of our government should do.

There are just a few things that Democrats are good at, and they are all things that the Democrats don’t want you to know that they excel at.
1) Tax Evasion (the accountant is usually thrown under the bus to take the fall for these crimes)
2) Cheating on Spouse (always covered up, which makes the cheating much worse)
3) Covering up sexual misconduct (usually by paying people off with campaign money)
4) Increasing Tax Burdens (Taking money from one group in order to line the pockets of their friends and supporters)
4) Spending other people’s money (Obama makes this task very easy)

The executive director of the N.C. Democratic Party resigned Sunday as calls for his ouster mounted amid questions regarding a secret agreement to pay a former staffer to keep quiet about sexual harassment allegations.

Jay Parmley, who served a year at the helm of the party, denied harassing any employee and blamed right-wing blogs for “spreading a false and misleading story” about the incident.

“Even though I have not done anything wrong, it is clear to me that I need to move on,” Parmley wrote in his resignation letter.

Party Chairman David Parker accepted his resignation but avoided any comment on the case and suggested Parmley didn’t deserve to be fired for cause. He blamed politics.

“After consulting legal counsel, and based on my own experience in harassment cases and my own personal philosophy, it became my opinion that there have not been grounds for termination for cause of Jay Parmley,” said Parker, an attorney. “In this political world of rushing to judgment and the presumption of guilt, however, my legal and personal opinion has been outweighed by this having become a political distraction and issue.”

Democratic activists responded quickly to the news and suggested Parker also should resign.

Watt Jones, a member of the state party’s executive committee who raised concerns about the settlement agreement, said Parmley made the right decision for the party.

“Clearly I think there are others who should resign, too,” Jones said.

Democratic consultant Perry Woods of Raleigh echoed the sentiment. “I think Jay did the right thing,” he said. “David Parker should join him.”

Earlier this weekend, party activists called for Parmley and Parker to resign amid questions about a financial settlement given to a low-level staffer earlier this year who was fired soon after he complained about being sexually harassed by a senior party official. The settlement agreement and nondisclosure statement came to light Friday in internal party emails obtained by The News & Observer, but the documents did not identify the party official responsible.

At the Wake and Durham county party conventions Saturday, party activists introduced resolutions demanding Parker and Parmley resign or be fired. Other party officials also are privately asking the two top officials to leave for the sake of the party.

In Wake County, Woods put forth a resolution saying the party “must deal with sexual harassment claims in an open and transparent fashion.”

The party must be “not only beyond guilt but above suspicion, and event a hint or perception of a cover-up is damaging to the party’s credibility,” the resolution stated.

In introducing the resolution, Woods noted North Carolina’s prominence in the national political picture as a battleground state in the presidential race and host of the Democratic convention, suggesting the state party scandal could taint the 2012 election.

The resolution also said Parker’s statement Friday – which said the party won’t comment the matter – only raised more questions about how it was handled behind closed doors, even out of the purview of other top party officials.

Muriel Offerman, the treasurer of the state Democratic Party and a Parker ally, spoke against the resolution. “This is a personnel mater with in the party,” she said in an interview Sunday. “Personnel matters are not to be discussed in public. Period.”

A couple other Democrats echoed Offerman’s remarks, saying the party should handle the matter, and Woods pulled the resolution before a vote took place. Woods declined to comment about the matter.

At the Durham County party convention, Danielle Adams, a member of the local soil and water conservation district board, put forth a handwritten resolution also calling for the party’s top two officials to be removed. It came soon after Parker addressed the convention. He didn’t mention the scandal in his remarks and again no vote took place and it was referred to the state party’s executive committee for consideration.

The turmoil in the party ranks came the same day Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton suggested party officials should resign or be fired if the allegations are true. “We cannot tolerate sexual harassment in the workplace,” Dalton said Saturday at the Mecklenburg County Democratic Party convention. “If there’s any truth to the allegations, somebody should resign or be fired immediately. We won’t tolerate that.”

The other two leading candidates for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, former Congressman Bob Etheridge and state Rep. Bill Faison, declined to take a stance, saying they didn’t know enough to comment.

The party is not talking about the matter. But former party administrator, Sallie Leslie, said Friday she recently quit in part because of how the party handled the matter, citing “unethical actions by party leadership.”

Leslie’s longtime service to the party and solid reputation is helping drive activists’ concerns. The Wake County Democratic Party approved a resolution supporting Leslie at its convention and her comments were cited in Woods’ resolution demanding party leaders’ removal.
