Bet you also didn’t know that while the public Sanford is fighting the evil stimulus money the private Sanford had his cabinet agencies track every twist and turn so they could spend it. Sanford is a fake!

2008 South Carolina Constitution

ARTICLE XV.

IMPEACHMENT
SECTION 1. Power of impeachment; vote required; suspension of officer impeached.

The House of Representatives alone shall have the power of impeachment in cases of serious crimes or serious misconduct in office by officials elected on a statewide basis, state judges, and such other state officers as may be designated by law. The affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members elected shall be required for an impeachment. Any officer impeached shall thereby be suspended from office until judgment in the case shall have been pronounced, and the office shall be filled during the trial in such manner as may be provided by law.

When the Governor is impeached, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or, if he be disqualified, the Senior Justice, shall preside, with a casting vote in all preliminary questions.

Sanford’s executive budget was prepared prior to the BEA lowering revenue estimates. Don’t be so disingenuous, right side.

Dear Richard: It may interest you that the House passed a budget lower than Sanford’s. Glad people are there to keep him in check.

I’m with Veronica — Davis should run. He’s smart and solid, not a grandstander. Comes across as trustworthy and authentic, and really understands the issues. I’ve heard him speak, and he is a natural. Campsen is a nice, honest person, but just a little “out there.” Gonna be a tough year for a legislator — let’s see if Davis and Campsen support stimulus bill, or stand tough with the governor and the public. That will send a message……

Let me answer that from Lexington. Yes many of us do care that he endorses a candidate. My group has always supported Sanford’s fiscal conservatism, not so much some of his philosophical votes i.e. Hospital, cigarette tax, but we need someone like him to keep the spending habits of the legislature crippled and at best challenged. There is a voice of reason with Sanford, the very voice that is lacking among the leadership in the House and Senate.

There was a thriving SC GOP before Sanford and there will be one after him. Ask the people og Lexington County if they care what Sanford does or who he supports?

Kind of like Carroll Campbell’s endorsement of David Beasley. Fool me once…

Sanford’s endorsement is NOT golden. By 2010, it will be the kiss of death, as it ought to be.
