I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind elaborating on what you call Mark Sanford’s “extremely successful political career” in this state.

The numbers do not lie in unemployment in this state. Our education system rivals those of third world countries. Our state government has grown substantially during his term. The Republican Party in this state is as divided as can be. If one did not know anything about Mark Sanford, they would conclude that he has done a poor job. I realize that there are many factors that are out of the Governor’s hands. He is not the sole reason that this state is not in good shape.

I realize that you side with the Governor on many fiscal and ideological issues. I also realize that you do not side with the many members of the Legislature, whom you consistently refer to as RINOs. And I will agree with you that Sanford has done a good job of promoting a true Republican approach to issues. But my question is- don’t you feel that as Governor, it is his job to make things work regardless of the differences that may exist?

You believe in what the Governor believes, and that’s fine, many do. But why hasn’t he been able to install the type of government that he believes is right? There is obviously a rift between the Governor and the Legislature on many issues, causing a difficult path to accomplish goals. But why, in his 6+ years in office, has Sanford failed to bring the SCGOP, the SCDP, and the state of SC together on accomplishing what is good for the people? Is it not the job of the Governor to find a common ground that works? The situation in this state is not good for the people. At the end of the day our government is ineffective and our state is in shambles because of it. I, for one, believe that it is the Governor’s job to make this state government work, regardless of the differences he and the members of the Legislature may have.

Whenever you get the time, I would like to hear why you think Sanford’s political career is “extremely successful” because no one would be foolish enough to describe the past decade or so of SC government as extremely successful.

Looks like someone is trying to play spoiler.

#7- Our hit pieces against Mitt Romney have not been periodic, they have been sustained and relentless – as they will continue to be.

Oh, and we attack Romney for the sheer sport of it, because his fake ass is quite literally begging for it.

It’ the inevitable consequence of having a one party system. You get – wait for it, cough, cough, – moderates. Don’t worry, it’s not such a bad thing. It might help the Republicans dig out from the enormous hole they find themselves in, because afterall, Americans are theoretically conservative and operationally liberal. Tough but true.

Roll on boys. Just don’t get kinky. These blogs are public.
