Many of us come here for reasoned political discourse. Sic Willie is a firm believer in defending our constitution — which is fast becoming the Great Divide in our country.

Are you ‘punch-drunk’ on the growing federal government’s imposing themselves in our lives? Are you a member of the Brad Warthen Choir? BTW — aren’t you due at choir practice, right about now?

And quit twisting my words, lest I find out where you live. Like my telling of the web site where you can actually watch a pathetically alone woman decorating her Christmas tree every year, buck naked on the internet! Not my thing…in more ways than you can imagine!

Matter of fact, with all these kids buzzing in and out like a swarm of locusts…and a husband who is WAY TOO NEEDY — a little alone-ness would be just flat-out PEACHY!

BIN — take out the educrat drip and brainwashing cd’s. Find an original thought.

Mack, your soliloquy is well written. But much better suited for Brad Warthen’s new blog than sic(k) willie’s little porn site.

sic(k) willie’s readers visit here for soft core porn, political attacks, unfounded dirty rumors and mud slinging.

Okay, okay. Some of us still come here in hopes Mab will make good on her promise to post pics of herself buck nekkid decorating her Christmas tree.

Mab and our funding editor are probably the only visitors to this site who read your posts line by line. You know sic(k) willie skips big words.

Mack, you are wrong on one point. Our Legislature never ignored the gub’ner.

They have fought him, tooth and nail at times, but he has never been ignored.

Don’t get us wrong. We are not defending the Legislature. Nor are we defending the gub’ner. Our Editorial Staff thinks we should throw all the bums out.

Start over. Mab for Governor!

We could all stand a dose of what you have: a little contentment.

I can assure you I am not a liberal nor a conservative. I am an individual who believes in the tired old saying of Government for the people and by the people. I am glad that people are at least taking time to read these blogs and responding in some fashion.

The editorial page of the WSJ had an interesting interview with our Governor and he pretty much lays out a rational argument for his stand. I have always found it interesting that people tend to hate,that is a word is so overused, anyone who tries to keep personal feelings out of tough decisions. Do you think this is going to affect the Governor. The stimulus is going to run out in 2 years and will have not affect Govenor Sanford at all.

When are we going to learn that Politicians, Unions and sadly in some instances Preachers only promise. They cannot guarantee. The only person that you can trust is yourself and have faith, in whatever higher power you believe,that will see you through the tough times that are probably facing us all. In my that is God.

The only suggestion that I have is read, listen, gather information from all the sources you trust and follow your belief.

The problems we have did not happen overnight. We the people, in other words, the Government, stood idly buy and watched our Government get hijacked by people, maybe with good intentions, who feel they are better qualified to decide what is best for us, and we drank the Kool Aid.

Yes, a lot of people need jobs, many are losing their homes, cars and a way of life that looked so rosey just a couple of years ago. I happen to be one of them. My wife and I have been able to keep up with mounting medical bills, increasing taxes, food cost by dipping into the limited savings we had. The emphasis here is on had.

Thankfully, I am old enough to receive Social Security, which by the way is not gold mine and medicare is not the end all anwer to medical care. Due to an illness I am unable to work, but if the opportunity for a job that I can peform I will be right there. That’s enough of my story because you have your own that is probably worse than mine. But believe me take some time to do the math and see how much we are receiving versus what our Governor wants to spend on reducing debt and then look at the savings and benefit down the road and maybe, just maybe his decisions will make sense. Let’s quit using the children as an excuse everytime there is a cost cutting measure. Don’t you think the understaffed prisons, the mental health department, and a lot of other important agencies want more. Heck, I want more too. But, like it or not, I have to live with what I have.

Don’t spend so much time complaining about what you don’t have. Spend a little more time to look around and be thankful for what you do have.

Our State Legislature has ignored our Governor for so long. Every time we had excess funds this argument has come up. Spend it, pay off debt with it or put it back for a rainey day. Well, the Legislature won and we spent it. I have yet to hear ” I told you so coming for the Governor”

I guess I have said enough and there is really no way that everyone is going to come out of this satisfied. Simply put, there will always be complainers who will not be happy unless it is exactly what they want and then I am not so sure that would satisfy them. How do I know, for about 30 years of my life I complained with the best of them. But I finally came to the realization that it is what it is. Be thankful with what you have.

The State reports Senator Ford has sold his soul to the devil…

…uhhh, Howie’s voucher scam.

Here’s a great quote from the story:

“Ford said a group, including Rich, approached him about coming out for school choice. “I told them I needed some political cover,” Ford said, adding they agreed to help produce a brochure that Ford recently distributed.”

“Political cover.” You bet you’ll need it.

There’s no word yet on how much Howie’s Carpetbuggers are paying Ford for his soul, but we are sure the numbers will be out soon.

But Ford is crazy like a fox. Not crazy like a sprayed roach.

He knows his announcement is political grandstanding.

He knows he can take Howies money and change his mind later.

He also knows the Legislature has no political will to change the shameful “minimally adequate” standard they allow to rule our schools.

So, maybe this will get Ford some free press, some manly sic(k) willie love, get him some free Howie money and maybe spook the rest of the Legislature into fixing the real problems facing public education in S.C.

Regardless. Vouchers are dead in S.C.

Howie knows it. Ford knows it. We all know it.

Just ask Jakie. He knows it.

South Carolina’s governor is the worst in the nation. (well actually only one of the three worst, acccording to Time Magazine.)

He should focus on governing the people of this state, not serving as the messaging service for our state’s right-wing activists.

This country has enormous problems. I can agree with that .

Trying to fix them by ignoring the people’s needs is not going to work.

Wow. There is intelligent life in our comment section. Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
