Sanford must be stupid or something. Doesn’t he know that they can just print more money when they run out? So who cares that SC will be forced to pick up the spending slack when the stimulus money stops in a couple of years? We can just ask for the Feds to step in and usurp our autonomy even more.

I am tired of people posting, bashing the gov…I would really like to poll these people to find which politician they would hold in high esteem.
Let me guess Clinton,Marion Berry??…Obama?? or anyone who would steal from others to give to you??

Liz: “The people of South Carolina for the most part, are furious from what I hear in public.”

Seriously Liz, do you have any fiscally conservative friends?

And Crooner, you’re gonna find the Governor’s on pretty solid grounds legally. Of course, the fact that most justices were former legislators may hurt him. But if they decide the case on the merits, he’s got a good shot.

Now THAT’S an example of lawsuit abuse.

What a maroon. He’s been every bit as effective as governor as he was as a congressman.

The legislature is trying to force Sanford to take revenue that is legally up to him to decide about. He doesn’t want to because the legislature is going to blow it without cutting any of the garbage out of the budget. Then in two years we’ll have to pay the bills. Which we won’t be able to do, of course.

Teacher, law enforcement job loss, BIN? Tell us this — do you think lobbyists and consultants and lawyers and the guys who run EnguenuitySC and the rest of the “knowledge sector council” should be allowed to keep their jobs while we fire teachers? How about that Spring Dairy Festival, or the marketing for PRT, or the golf courses, or all the competitive grants programs?

You never comment on that stuff, so I guess you think it’s more important than teachers and cops. Because your boys in the GA didn’t cut any of that stuff out to save teacher jobs. Don’t you think they should have cut every dime of that crap out of this budget rather than expanding it? Or set priorities for spending that included thorough program reviews?

I am not always a Sanford fan. Sometimes he trumpets the right ideas but doesn’t always follow through the right way. But this time he’s 100%right. BIN, our state is in trouble. We need to get our priorities in order and come up with a sound budget that funds what we need and cuts what we don’t. Until we do that, why would anyone support giving those guys more money? Unless, of course, you are getting some of it — right, BIN?

There are a lot of ways for a legislator to be named as a RINO, but simply voting to accept money that will go to other states and not back to taxpayers if we don’t accept it doesn’t make you a RINO.

Is Lamont financing this lawsuit out if his own money, one of his PAC’s money, or state money that he claims to be so zealously guarding? I’ll bet I can guess the answer.

Hey Will, do your job (legitimately for once), file a FOIA request, and find out how much public money is being spent by governor grandstand on this latest imbroglio — one created entirely by a single obstinate self-promoter. The people deserve to know, don’t you think?

Lamont in 2012!

This man has no mercy. This man has no feelings for the people this money is intended for. Yes Mark Sanford has a lot of money personally. Yes so do his crony buddies.
The people of South Carolina for the most part, are furious from what I hear in public.
And this man… Mark Sanford, wants to be a President. FAT CHANCE

Boo hoo, the mean boys on the playground took my
ball. I guess I’ll go to court and sue them to
get it back. South Carolina is nothing but
schoolyard politics and schoolyard personalities.
