Nonsense! If President Obama’s organization had been involved, 3,000 people would have shown up, not 30.

Speaking of bitter, you sound like an ex-employee with an ax to grind.

Why is SC the only state in the Union to have an office in China?!? At what cost?!?

Is this why Maria speaks Chinese? Part of the long term plan?

I do not know who this Pat person is, but he or she is certainly a disagreeable and pompous sort. I surely hope I am never so unfortunate as to share a dinner table with him or her or whatever. That would certainly be worse than water boarding. Probably worse than hanging.

Pat, being right or wrong on a subject is slightly less noteworthy than your habit of being so…nasty.

Read the Commerce papers with the article. Sorely lacking in specific itinerary info: Dates, names of meetings, participants.
A trip to Scandanavia cancelled when he had to leave Europe early once. Does that mean Maria was there waiting, but if Gov. couldn’t go, no other staff needed to.
Like the 5 day bird hunting of Joe Taylor in the June 08 trip to Brazil. It was a 6 day trip and 5 were so Joe could bird hunt and Mark go to Argentina?!?! Why are we paying for all those extra nights of hotels for bird and “bird” hunting?!?

Twice, TWICE, Mark came home early because of Sofa store fire & Horry Co fires. Didn’t that give him a clue SOMEBODY in govt might need to know how to get in touch? Of course, we know Joel Sawyer knew where he was and was in touch the whole time.

Read the “report”. It’s amazing what Commerce is allowed to get away with. You guys in the press are getting there, but use more common sense to follow some of this stuff to the bitter end.

S.C. Gov. Sought ‘Light’ Schedule for 2008 Trip to Argentina

meetings for him in Buenos Aires in June 2008, but he repeatedly emphasized his desire to keep a “light” and “low-key” schedule in his three days there

asked his staff to arrange for him to peel off to Buenos Aires,

“The governor has decided he didn’t want to do that (hunting trip) the full time but wanted to make some calls in Buenos Aires,”

email records show, a commerce employee explained to the U.S. Embassy in Argentina that there was no need for the governor’s visits with Argentinian officials to be lengthy or formal.

“The Governor is perfectly content with meeting for a drink, or something to that effect” …”but would prefer that Friday be a little more low key.”

Sanford’s itinerary for Friday, June 27 indicates he planned to do self-guided sight-seeing, but he has since admitted he spent it with his girlfriend …in the June pre-planning, Graham asked the Argentinian-based U.S. officials about connecting the governor with a real estate broker on that Friday.

State Sen. John M. “Jake” Knotts Jr. (R), a vocal critic of Sanford, said the trip to Argentina was “totally uncalled for.” …”He connived a way to use the taxpayers’ money to get to see his ’soul mate,’ as he calls her,” Knotts said in an interview today. “He called and he orchestrated the Argentina trip. There was no reason to go to Argentina except to waste the taxpayers’ money and use a deal about a hunting trip. We’re not in the business of going hunting whenever we’re looking for jobs.”

Sorry, SCCON, did you prefer “tinfoil” to “tin-foil”? Seems a little pedantic, don’t you think?

In looking for the average weight of said aluminum hat, I would suggest you ask some of your fellow conservative travelers that believe in birth certificate conspiracies, Manchurian-islmo plots and the like. They can be found in abundance right here at fitsnews.

Where do you find “tin-foil” these days?

And is the stuff all that heavy?

Fogle turns more 180’s than Linda Blair’s head did in “The Exorcist.” His website is a joke.
