Tell me, Ben, who are those of whom you speak? Harry Cato? Dan Cooper? Lindsay Graham? Please, give me a list of these conservatives so that I might support them.

The real reasons that we elected a liberal judge, spend too much money and just generally are a moderate state are 1) the voters, who reward lawmakers who bring home the bacon and 2) the business community, which traded laissez-faire for “public-private partnerships” a generation ago.

We reaped yesterday what we, as voters, sowed. The only way to really change it is to change the way we vote.

For someone to refer to themselves as Ben Tillman, the Pitchfork dude, and demand change in state government is strange.

The most qualified candidate did not win. I hope Annette Young and Arnold Goodstein are exposed along with the MANY others that The Aiken Hornet is aware of who need to be exposed. State GOP Legislators = Corrupt = LOG types.

Heh. “South Carolina values?” Are you kidding? During my time in the Palmetto State (July-Oct. ‘89, Dec. ‘97-Dec. ‘99, June ‘02-May ‘05), the “values” I found weren’t stellar. Aggressive ignorance seems to be a chief South Carolina “value,” along with latent racism. And, for that matter, overt racism. Of course, I shouldn’t be shocked that such ill-informed comments comes from a person that uses the name of one of the most evil motherfuckers in American politics as his/her nom de guerre.
