Sanford Stumps For Mulvaney
GOVERNOR ENDORSES REPRESENTATIVE’S BID FOR STATE SENATE SEAT
FITSNews – February 29, 2008 – He may be hated within much of the South Carolina political establishment, but Gov. Mark Sanford is still the cat’s meow as far as the average voter is concerned. Campaigning on behalf of State Rep. Mick Mulvaney in Fort Mill and Sun City today, the governor received standing ovations and was treated like a regular rock star as he told crowds numbering in the hundreds about the need for change in Columbia.
“At the core of what we’re looking at is the notion that the world is changing, via globalization and via the Internet,” Sanford said in Sun City, one of South Carolina’s Republican strongholds. “We have got to fundamentally reshape and reshift where we’re coming from if we’re going to be competitive.”
Echoing many of the same themes he’s been preaching for years, Sanford touted slower government growth, income tax cuts, workers’ comp reform and tort reform as keys to achieving that competitiveness, noting that ”capital goes where it’s loved and flees where it’s not.”
Mulvaney – the first legislator to receive Sanford’s endorsement during the 2008 election cycle - is the odds-on favorite to replace retiring Sen. Greg Gregory in Senate District 16, a high growth area of the state that is trending more and more conservative with each passing day. In fact, during a recent six-month period over 2,000 new residents registered to vote in the district – 90% of them in Republican-dominated precincts.

Ah, the Libertarians unite. Go Mick Go!

Since my previous post seemed to be sarcastic, let me say that when Mulvaney wins, at least we will have 6 conservatives in the Senate. That would be a nice change. 6 down. 40 to go.

Mick has never been afraid to tell you what he believes and why he believes it without apology. He not only talks like a conservative, but unlike so many of the Republicans in the legislature, he actually acts and votes like a conservative. Go Mick, go!

but Gov. Mark Sanford is still the “cat’s meow”
“CAT’S MEOW”…it’s funny that you should mention “CAT’S MEOW”…that’s the name of the Drug kingpin Garry Chupurd’s boat. Chupurdy was just sentenced this month to 18 years in prison for having the largest marijuana smuggling operation in Beaufort since Operation Jackpot in the 1970’s.
Check out Garry Chupurdy.
But let’s not forget, Gov. Mark Sanford is still the “cat’s meow”

Gary,
Define “conservatives.” If you can. By real standards “conservatives” is more and more like “crackpots.” sic(k) willie is a prime example.

Hopefully Sanford’s personal endorsement will be as helpful to here as it was when he went door to door for Mr. Wingate (did that fella ever make Senator?)
