Spend time and effort on building fancy,expensive buildings for the bureaucrats and don't focus energy on the main reason for your existence. The GOP sounds a lot like our public education system.

A green building? Man, it makes you want to give money to the GOP! What happened to the huge, nice building on Lady Street? Not enough volunteers to fit in there? Why Lady Street since we're last in the nation in women elected officials? Marion Street? Easy answer -- closer to the old State Hospital. A legal defense fund? A green building?

He pretty much built the GOP in South Carolina on his own (not that it wouldn't have eventually happened without him, but Milliken was a HUGE player in the Republican party....in SC and on the national scene. If I'm not mistaken, he was one of the key investors in the start-up of William Buckley's magazine National Review. He also likes to work on the planning and construction of buildings.....and have involvement on the details. Milliken is truly an advocate for the environment, so it's not at all surprising that he's interested in LEED certification. Maybe that makes Milliken -- a major, major force in the history of the SC GOP -- a crazy liberal. Roger Milliken is a fascinating person.

If true then it's not that big of a surprose. If Costner is a RINO then that's Karen's type of Republican. When her biggest issue as the "Republican" county council chair in Sburg was pushing for a sales tax increase, you know she likes the RINO's. When she supported Inez Tenenbaum and Fritz Hollings while at the same time running for county council as a "Republican" (1998) then she must be a RINO.

I hear you. Dignity. Grace. Aplomb. All that. You go, girl. Of course, we hired her to get people elected...and on that front she picked Roger Costner over Ralph Norman in a GOP primary. RINO vs. #2 conservative in the House a few years ago. Looks like her boy lost 70-30. Ouch. We file that under "bad decisions" on her part. So, Ms. Thesaurus, how does that "it" factor look now?
