Totally lost me when you start with the article off with the color of skin. Now, the size of the cantaloupes…. That’s a story worth reading.
Indians (dot, not feathers) don’t like black people. Indians (both dot and feathers) like money. And Madam Haley has millions stashed away in campaign accounts, 501 c 3’s, 501 c 4’s, etc. much of it hidden far from the public’s prying eyes.
This guy LaPointe has given money, but more importantly you can be assured he has raised her money (privately if not publicly) as Haley won’t move a finger for a legal contribution as they are limited in size by the law. She likes those “off the books” contributions. Oh yea, she likes them a lot.
I am not sure anyone cares. I don’t think anyone believes she is honest. She gets votes cause she is pleasant. not ugly and hates Obama and Negros.
Me’s doesnt think she hates Negroes, she just can’t find a qualified one!
Every Governor and President does this. Not sure I see a problem here.
So what do you expect from Ms. Haley, the tea baggers and all of the wonderful republicans????
Ummmm…you failed to mention the fact that he is a 1985 graduate of The Citadel, and McQuilla has been moved to the Commission of Higher Education…a statewide body over colleges…by the same Governor. This Haley-hate is going to burn you out once her term is over…

She did the same thing, but worse with Darla Moore at USC.
NIKKI HALEY CARES ONLY ABOUT NIKKI HALEY!
Guys,
There could be no better example of pay for play than Darla Moore. I think the argument that Nikki was removing a pay for play leader was a good move in the case of Ms. Moore.
Wrong Virginia Appleseed, Pay for Play means you pay the Politician for the appointment. Darla Moore was contributing generously to USC and NOT to NIKKI HALEY. You must remember NIKKI HALEY CARES ONLY ABOUT NIKKI HALEY!
Nicki’s adviser is her husband-who was instrumental in getting rid of the then SLED head because he didn’t hire a couple of sheriff’s deputies that helped Nicki’s run for governor. $70 million to USC or $9000 to Nicki’s political machine-she owed him big time but Darla was/is seen as a rival.
Being a graduate of The Citadel who happens to be Black; I do not agree with Governor Haley on this one. If this is the Republican idea of outreach then it has turned this independent and some of my fellow black alumni against this Governor and the party for the time being. Jack Douglas gave up the seat to which James McQuilla who recruited me to The Citadel was appointed by then Governor Sanford. Now you have this pay for play thing going on. This does not help the image of my Alma Mater or the State of Carolina! Hint to Governor Haley sometimes image is important.
