We do see the irony, but who the hell are we gonna send? That nobody Alvin Greene? Truly, South Carolinians simply don’t care. And for that, they deserve that rat bastard DeMint. It kills me.
There IS another candidate against Demint. Tom Clements of the Green Party. He’s got my vote. No way I’d vote for either Demint or Greene, and Clements would be a fine senator - metric miles better than Demint!
Nobody ever wants to throw THEIR bums out, just everybody else’s bums. And South Carolinians have a long history of political idiocy (see Thurmond, Strom).
I say let 'em secede. We’re better off without them, and I say that as a native. Just let me get my family out first
IIRC, the SC Democratic party pretty much endorsed Clements. Of course, their by-laws prohibit them from outright endorsing him or giving him money. But any time someone asks, they mention Clements’ name, and mention that they cannot officially endorse him.
We have a few recently that should be included you for completeness
Multiple Republican candidates coming out against minimum wage. A policy 80% of Americans support.
Add to that the Republican party chair Micheal Steele didn’t know what the minimum wage was when asked.
Jim DeMint has once again come out against gays or single women teaching in our schools. It was a really stupid idea last time he said it but I guess he needed to reiterate it just before an election.
Lies lies and more lies. The random untruths the candidates this time around they think they can get away with. If you are recorded saying something it’s pretty provable that you are lying when you claim later you never said that. It’s getting really sad. At least in the past all politicians would at least defend themselves saying ‘that’s not what I meant.’ Now we have people simply claiming I never said that despite the video’s showing otherwise.
Sorry I didn’t take some time to provide specific examples of the lying.
Incidents such as Sharron Angle. who has been the biggest offender being caught on film. claiming she never said they should privatize VA benefits when she has been films saying exactly that.
The others just lying in general.
Paladino claiming he has information about his opponent having extramarital affairs when he can’t produce any because there is none.
Christine O’Donnell claiming she has secret information on China planning to take over the US.
Allen West claiming he has higher security clearance then the president of the US
