He talks of God, babies, and our State deserving better. What an old bland routine. And the bailout flip flop doesn’t help.

Barrett comes across as a nice enough guy but reminds me of your typical politician. He has no substance and doesn’t seem to have any thoughts of his own. The slate is boring. No energy. This reminds me of our Presidential primary pics. The Dems had the excitement of Obama and the Republicans had the same old typical stale political guys that makes us look like what we have become . . .boring, old, status quo. Disappointing . . .

Barrett lost my vote when he changed his vote on opposing the original “stimulus” package. Obviously, the only reason he flip-flopped was the insertion of massive amounts of pork. I had high hopes for him before that, but blatant hypocrisy pisses me off.

Fiscal conservatives deserve better than this porker. He’s just more of the same.

Any truth to the rumor that Dan Hoover is now working for the Gresham Barrett campaign?

Gresham is losing all credibility IMO. Conservatives in Greenville are pissed that he is speaking at the Greenville tea party (outside Bi-Lo Center on 4/17) and talk radio is telling people to turn their backs to Barrett when he speaks. It’s funny, I think I read on FITS that Barrett might have been the candidate of choice for the Sanford/reform Republican crowd. That doesn’t seem to be the case now…

From Andy Brack’s column…

Attorney General Henry McMaster, a Republican: “As a policy matter, because we are going to be taxed to pay all this stimulus money back, we should receive our share and spend it very, very carefully.”
