Does this rino republicrat have any expected opposition next year? THIS "SMELLS REAL BAD".

It is the Carolina way. Chellis is like the rest of those dead beats is Columbia. spend the taxpayers money first…then your campaign money next, then your own money, as a last resort, last.

Dan Hamilton proposed a bill (amendment?) a couple weeks ago at the State House to ban this practice. As you can imagine, it was beaten handily. That’s funny…Rep.

Are you kidding? Re-read, dude. We said that a company that got $45 billion in bailout funds is paying $316,497 this month for a S.C. politicians' TV ads - all of which you acknowledge in your comment. That's wonderful that you think BOA will pay back the money - and we may take you up on your stock tip - but please don't say something we wrote is patently false when your comment confirms the details of what we said! -FITS JC-

By contract of Bank of America being awarded the ability to handle the future scholars program for the state, they...NOT THE STATE OR TAXPAYERS, agree to pay for commercials to be aired informing the public. They have done this for years, pre Converse. Had Ravenel kept his nose clean (pun intended), he too likely would have wound up in these commercials touting a very good program. As for Bank of America taking 45 billion in government money, they appear poised to have it all paid back by 2009 end or early 2010 (stock tip...buy BofA). And it's a bit of stretch to suggest that this program recieves "our money" as it was in place and funded, long before the TARP funds. FITS,

Yesterday and quite a bit here lately, it was Rite-Aid pharmacy in the bailout ad spot. And guess what? Lexington's Rite-Aid parking lot was a ghost town yesterday...while the Walgreens across the street was humming one busy tune.
