Tim Scott “The President had an opportunity tonight to show the country he was willing to work together with Republicans to solve our most pressing issues. Instead, he chose to double down on his big government policies. We have a spending problems here in Washington—a problem that we cannot tax our way out of. For an example, the President tried to pass the buck on sequestration tonight by taxing his …

Speak Out: What Do You Think Of Obama's Gun Control Proposals?
Barack Obama announces nearly two dozen goals for Congress.
President Barack Obama announced Wednesday a list of proposals to curb gun violence in the wake of mass shootings in Colorado and Connecticut. While acknowledging that the Constitution does protect certain rights, the country's citizens are still "responsible for each other," multiple outlets, including CNN reports. 1. "Issue a presidential memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data available to the federal background check system." 2. "Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the background check system." 3. "Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check…

what chas mayor joe riley thinks: 'we should encourage our Senators and Congressmen to support President Obama's common sense gun control program that would eliminate high capacity magazines, ban assault weapons, close loopholes and create a universal background check for the purchase of guns. These measures and others will reduce gun violence in our country and in this community.' http://… more ›

Video: Gowdy Vows To Get To The Bottom Of Voter I.D. Opposition
Gowdy has tough words for U.S. Attorney General, Obama Administration.
U.S. Congressman Trey Gowdy vowed Thursday to find out if President Barack Obama and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder intentionally politicized their opposition of South Carolina's Voter I.D. law against the advice of senior Department of Justice officials. Gowdy, speaking in Spartanburg, where he'd spent the day touring with new Senator Tim Scott, was a co-author of a letter to Holder, along with Sen. Lindsey Graham, that requested the Department of Justice to provide an explanation of why the Feds pursued litigation against the law. Not only was South Carolina's Voter I.D. law upheld, but a Washington D.C. District Court decision held that the Federal Governement should be responsible for reimbursing the state for at least part of the …

Poll: Haley Job Approval Not Hurt Dramatically By Hack
But it also shows that she's not much more popular than President Barack Obama.
The latest poll from Winthrop University shows that Gov. Nikki Haley’s popularity has not been affected by the Department of Revenue’s security breach that exposed millions of South Carolina taxpayer’s private information. The poll, released Tuesday morning, showed that Haley’s job approval ratings among registered are “under water” – more people disapprove than approve, but not significantly so. The poll was conducted from Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, or more than a month after news of the security breach broke. Respondents were not asked specifically about Haley’s handling of the breach. Among registered voters, 38.3 percent approved of the governor’s performance, while 41.3 percent did not. Those numbers aren’t dramatically different from the …

That woman is the worst Governor ever for SC as well as for all women who aspire to take a dip in the political cesspool of "government". "Governing mode" - really? I'm not chewing that gristle! That woman is always looking for her next angle - she's not looking out for the citizens of SC unless she's able to gain something from using others without "regard" for her self serving horrible JANKY … more ›

Two Online Petitions Seek S.C. Secession
White House forum draws attention from disappointed voters looking for a way out.
Considering Mitt Romney easily won South Carolina on Nov. 6, it's not surprising that there are some disappointed Republicans in the Palmetto State. But one woman is hoping S.C. is allowed to part ways with the U.S., and she's finding some support online. One petition at the White House website's community forum requests that South Carolina be given the right to peacefully "withdraw from the United States of America and create its own new government." A similar petition is also seeking the right for S.C. to secede. The website allows citizens to make a petition for a variety of issues, including recognizing sign language as a language or refusing foreign aid to Uganda. Several petitions have been created since Friday, with individuals …

You are the other 8th grade bully Jo, and you also just can't help it. As for hypocrisy, I am sure you know more about it than anyone here. In fact, I am sure you know all about everything more than anyone here. All one has to do is ask you. You also were totally expected, and you came through. As for topic, after reading the comments, saying you people should go get elected so you can head on up… more ›
Analysis: National Republicans' Problems Absent in SCGOP
Whatever problems exist with the Republican Party that was just soundly defeated, they are largely absent from the GOP in South Carolina.
On Tuesday night at then-candidate Katrina Shealy’s victory party at the Wingate Hotel in Lexington, the celebration was somewhat tempered. As it became clear that Shealy would oust Jake Knotts and ascend to the State Senate, it became equally clear that Barack Obama would be re-elected President of the United States. Like many in attendance, one man scowled at the television screen, unable to process the prospect of another four years with Obama as President. He finally said, ”country’s screwed” and chugged his drink. Next to him, another Republican was more circumspect, hands on his hips, as if speaking in a classroom. “Maybe. But we don’t have to be…we can’t talk to voters like they’re the enemy. You can’t insult someone and expect them…

Shame on republicans for representing no one but the successful. Do you know that we have the lowest taxes on wealth of all developed nations? And that we are the only nation on the planet that taxes people who live in poverty? When our nation had some economic stability, reasonable trade balance and ALREADY had lowest taxes on wealth, the GOP lowered taxes on wealth by even more, then raised … more ›
