I'm surprised you didn't have an issue or two with McAlister's post. For Bob to say "Bobby Harrell, Hugh Leatherman, Glenn McConnell, Warren Tompkins, Richard Quinn were working to build the GOP when Folks was in his crib playing with his wee wee, begging to the breastfed" makes me chuckle!! Tompkins, while at the GOP HQ, was working for himself and Carroll Campbell. Building the GOP, not quite, he was scaring folks from running because he and Campbell were afraid of a primary challenge. Hugh Leatherman was a Democrat until 1996, only switched to the GOP so he could save his seat. McConnell wasn't welcome in the GOP because of his opposition to Campbell's restructuring plan. And if I recall correctly, Campbell worked openly against McConnell in the early 90's. Quinn didn't start building the GOP until McMaster's rein began. Harrell...well, he's part of the wonderful GOP leadership that has managed in just over 10 years to bankrupt this State. Politics is ugly...the candidates are only in it to gain power, they forget about the people once elected. The consultants are worse, they are just in it for the money... Wow Will…you certainly are getting slammed today.

I’m surprised you didn’t have an issue or two with McAlister’s post. For Bob to say “Bobby Harrell, Hugh Leatherman, Glenn McConnell, Warren Tompkins, Richard Quinn were working to build the GOP when Folks was in his crib playing with his wee wee, begging to the breastfed” makes me chuckle!!

Tompkins, while at the GOP HQ, was working for himself and Carroll Campbell. Building the GOP, not quite, he was scaring folks from running because he and Campbell were afraid of a primary challenge.

Hugh Leatherman was a Democrat until 1996, only switched to the GOP so he could save his seat.

McConnell wasn’t welcome in the GOP because of his opposition to Campbell’s restructuring plan. And if I recall correctly, Campbell worked openly against McConnell in the early 90′s.

Quinn didn’t start building the GOP until McMaster’s rein began.

Harrell…well, he’s part of the wonderful GOP leadership that has managed in just over 10 years to bankrupt this State.

Politics is ugly…the candidates are only in it to gain power, they forget about the people once elected. The consultants are worse, they are just in it for the money…

Will is a shameless wh**re who will shill for anybody waving a few bucks around. If Tompkins, Quinn, et.al., were stroking the check, Willie would be singing their song. I'm not sure how he can claim they are crooks---Do they have criminal records?---the answer is no. What makes Leatherman so "liberal"? I don't recall him voting in favor a a general tax increase in the last decade!! RINOS??---his mentor Marshall certainly cannot claim to have done a d*mn thing to grow the SCGOP---as a matter of documented fact, he was actively supporting and volunteering for former DEMOCRATIC gubernatorial candidate Phil Lader in 1986 while the SCGOP was successfully getting Carroll Campbell elected Governor. MS conveniently became an "R" a few years later when he realized that a "D" couldn't get elected in Congressional District 1. The biggest fraud is Will himself. No political track record period until he signs on with Sanford in 2002---and now he's a genius after serving a couple of rather checkered years as the "in-house mouthpiece" before his abrupt departure. Face it Will,-- Bob, Hugh, Bobby, Glenn, Warren, etc. may be getting older(read wiser) but they were kicking political behind when you were learning to ride your bicycle.

His blog illuminates the hypocrital disconnect between campaign promises and policy outcomes, especially among so-called Republicans in Columbia. Quinndom, Lerner, Tompkins/UTPL/etc, and Viewpolitik all have an agenda, but Folks seems more intellectually honest than the others. Socially laissez-faire, fiscally conservative. In your face. Folks' blog is a refreshing voice in the wilderness of status quo.

The same politicians you complain are RINOs would have been DINOs back before the 1964 Voting Rights Act and Nixon's so-called southern strategy. They are Republicans because that is the easiest way to get elected in this state. Why waste your breath shouting at the crowd?
