Boggled

The South Carolina Republican Party Executive Committee has reinstated a state senate candidate to run in the June primary against an incumbent who is believed to be behind a legal effort to have his opponent and nearly 200 others statewide removed from the ballot. Never without political drama, the reinstatement comes with a contrived controversy about a videotape.

South Carolina’s Village Idiot

South Carolina State Senator Jake Knotts is an nfortunate throwback to the days when plantation politics and back-slapping cronies governed through deals made in smoke-filled rooms.  To pick the most ignorant thing this fool has said or done would be like picking which star in the universe is the hottest.  With the help of Buzzfeed, here’s a leading contender for “Jake Knotts’ Greatest (#)hits.”

To them, “military service has become almost a scarlet letter.”

A Powerful Force

There is a powerful force in American politics and, particularly, the Repyblican Party.  It’s not an organized group, a registered union or a structured political entity, but it’s a demographic that determines the outcome of every election.

Politics of Desperation

The Iowa Caucus is a couple of weeks away and South Carolina’s “First in the South” primary just under a month. As the days slide away, so does respect and truth.

Obama Praises New Boeing Jobs … in Florida

The pass-around whore of the American labor unions – President Barack Obama – is “very happy” that Boeing will create jobs in Florida.

Slandering American Law Enforcement

In a scathing screed attacking American law enforcement, New York millionaire Howard Rich tries to paint a picture of massive Gestapo-like tactics on a nationwide scale by chronicling a few extraordinary and unfortunate events.

An Open Letter to Senator Jim DeMint

Dear Senator DeMint,

There are reports in the press that you are considering running for the Republican nomination for President in 2012. With respect, sir, don’t do it.
