If I have to talk to one more twenty-something, upper middle class, prima donna offering me sweet tea, I'm gonna stick some of "T-Rav's" boys on 'em! Thank God for the Charleston Mafia!

It inspired me to go through the "unsubscribe" process. I guess the fact that I have, from time to time, financially supported worthy Republican candidates makes every mouth-breathin', knuckle-dragging Republican campaign manager add me to the email list. This just in: DeMint's running for re-election to protect our "freedoms." How's he gonna know how to vote now that Bush is gone? Yeah, I got this email from his campaign.

"pulling defense missles from eastern Europe" ? Does he mean the redployment of the missle shield to where it might actually be able to defend against the Iranian capabilities? "coddling Castro" by extending the decades old embargo? Barrett is playing the tried and true fear mongering sound bites that play to the republican base. And he knows that faithful mouthpieces will simply pick it up and repeat it without any critical analysis of his nonsense. And while you’re fact checking Barrett’s ramblings:

He voted for the bailout, then talks against it, he has done nothing for the individual human citizen. He loves big business. Barret is a talker, that’s it.

Barrett claiming the military coup leaders are freedom fighters while they suspend freedom of press, freedom of assembly and dismantle the constitution is priceless. Perhaps he defines the word "freedom" as broadly as his notion of "fidelity."

Recall that Barrett said the House disapproval resolution against Wilson - which Barrett passed on - was the President's fault because Barrett wrote the President a letter asking him to block the House vote! Barrett might have a winning strategy here since it has been successful in SC before. Fortunately, Barrett won't be able to pull it off. I mean "turning his back on freedom fighters in Honduras," which side is he talking about? Well, that happens when you get your facts from DeMint.

obama has, at the least, hit a “reset” button of sorts, provided a wake-up call that we need not settle, and, that one person can make a difference.

the nobel is simply an affirmation of this and it should inspire america and its “powers that govern” to strive to be better, to do better.

given that one cannot obtain a divorce in less than a year in the state of south carolina, it would behoove mr. barrett to be as accommodating to the president in his attempt to right the abysmal wrongs of the last 8 years by the “grand” old party.
