Actually Reagan cut taxes, not raise them. And he did it during a recession that had double digit inflation, double digit unemployment and high gas prices. Also, Reagan brough the American spirit back when Carter told us that our best days were behind us and that everyone should wear a sweater and turn their heat down.

Reagan principles? You mean the largest tax increase in US history and the biggest deficits ever (discounting Junior Bush)?

The man who told the world he wept when he helped liberate a concentration camp? Of course, the ‘mo never left California during WW 2.

Gerry,

Actually found out about the 108-8 vote. Here it is:

The vote was to either draft a budget with the stimulus in a seperate column so to see with and without…or to draft without stimulus in the budget. The vote was 108-8. Haley voted for a budget that showed both. And she also put some strict amendments in there as well such as stimulus money toward education would go directly to schools and not the DOE. So, she is still true to the Reagan principles and would make a wonderful candidate for Governor.

Nikki Haley is the best kept secret of South Carolina. Not only would she bring common sense approach to government she would reign in fiscal responsbility, accountability to where our money is spent and would be a friend to the taxpayer. I believe that Haley may lack in money and name id, but she leads in true Reagan Conservatism.

“TMT,”

Like we always say, check the ethics filings if you want to see who our founding editor is working with.

The answer is no one, but knock yourself out nonetheless.

Queen Transparency should reveal how much she is paying Fits to promote her “possible” candidacy. I still have not forgotten that “no holds barred” attempt to gain chair of LCI. Darling-ha!

“her background and gender give her a boost in a crowded GOP primary that will already contain four white guys even without Davis.”

Did you really say that??? Her religion, her family’s Very non-conservative beliefs (religion) and background is a Lee Atwater consultant’s dream. Also, when has being non-white and non-male ever “boosted” a candidate in a GOP primary???

I’m confused.

I agree Ron. Her talents and level headed policy are what this state needs. It’s about the policy with her, she doesn’t get into the politics of it all. I am curious as to the speculation of her name recognition, money, and being a minority. All three of those she blew out of the water when she won her Statehouse seat and has ovewhelmingly proved herself since. A very interesting dynamic to South Carolina.

The taxpayers need her more on the budget and control board in my view.
