Haley Hacked?
Prior to S.C. Rep. Nikki Haley announcing her bid for governor earlier this year, a website that allegedly receives funding from two of her political arch-rivals seemed to have the inside scoop on everything that was going on within her as-yet-unannounced campaign.
Wolfe Reports – which is reportedly funded in part by the consulting empire of J. Warren Tompkins – wrote multiple articles about Haley’s impending gubernatorial bid, articles which included detailed information about Haley’s various staffing moves as well as her timetable for entering the race.
Haley’s campaign was baffled at the “leaks,” and political insiders scratched their heads at how a website bought and paid for by one of her opponents’ consultants (Tompkins’ machine is supporting the gubernatorial campaign of Gresham Barrett) could have obtained such detailed, inside information.
Well, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, Wolfe Reports was provided with copies of Haley’s email messages directly from Under The Power Lines, the company that designed and hosted Haley’s website before unceremoniously pulling the plug on it after she announced her campaign.
Haley’s campaign declined to comment on the speculation.
An employee with Under The Power Lines flatly denied that the firm leaked emails or other sensitive information to Wolfe Reports.
“Absolutely not,” the employee told FITS.

This is a great example why not to deal with Under The Powerlines. If you cross the political or lobbying agenda of the Warren Tompkins empire, they will use your own website against you.

Poor Nikki Haley. She trusted and hired the services of some of the biggest slimeballs in the state- Warren Tompkins, Terry Sullivan, and Wesley Donehue- to establish her website.
This proves that Tompkins and his spineless associates will do anything to make sure their golden boy, Congressman J. Gresham “Bailout” Barrett will have a leg up in the race.
To Terry, Warren, and Wesley- may Saint Peter have mercy on your souls if from some reason you make it top the Pearly Gates.

Yawn. Morons at work. That’s exactly what SC needs. More elected morons and their political hacks in higher positions. If “Nikki” can’t keep a lid on her campaign, she certainly could not hide a trip to Argintina – or Hopkins.

Barrett has me to deal with too. Gresham Barrett provided me with a fraudulent Inspector General report.
Barrett is part of Mark Sanford’s C Street ” family”. The family calls itself the ” Christian mafia”…
I know Barrett HURT me.

I heard form a source, who heard from a source, who heard from yet another source that MJ, Elvis, 2Pac, and Adam Fogle where all seen together leaving Platinum Plus this morning around 3. But i don’t believe my source to be credible, much like yours…

So far, Nikki Haley is the only candidate for Governor who has remarked publicly that our state income tax is harmful to job creation. I hope others will catch on. Listen to this statistic from Art Laffer, Reagan’s chief economist – each day, 1500 businesses leave high income tax states and relocate to zero and low income tax states. Why do we still have a 7% state income tax, and who will lead the way toward its elimination?

Haley will be like Eddie Rabbit 2 steps forward one step back and i cant wait

Two steps forward, one step back is much better than no step forward, one step back that the other candidates offer. Toyota, Hiding behind a fake name and throwing moronic comments does you ne favors. You are a moron.
