I don’t have insurance. Don’t need it. You see, health insurance is a gamble. You pay insurance company to pay if anything happens to you. I live a simple life. From 20-50 I don’t expect anything to happen to me. I go to the DR. now and then and would rather just shell out the $100 when I have a flu or something than pay $3-5,000 a year for insurance.

You see, the most important thing to remember from the age of 1 to probably 55, 99% of people just don’t need insurance if you take care of yourself. Save the money you would otherwise spent on the insurance for a raining day.

Again, Spratt just took that freedom away from me. Me and my family will be fined or jailed (jailed becuase I am not paying a fine from my hard earned money to those jackasses in WDC) for not have insurnace.

Finally, John Spratt you are a jackass whore and might as well retire in San Francisco becuase you are not welcome in SC anymore!!!!!

You should apply for a job with the NRCC, because as foolish as your comments are, you would fit right in. I hate to tell ya, but in a democratic society the vote of the poor “farmer’s wives” in Malboro count just as much as someone like u who has their head shoved up ther a**. Trust me come November 2010, Congressman Spratt will be heading back to D.C. and your “tea baggin” comments will have been nothing more than simply “pissing in the wind”. Good luck with your new job at the NRCC and all the new conspiracy theories you are likely developing.

You see, the Republicans are guilty of the same kind of simpe examination of numbers that led them to spend a lot of money on Ralph Norman before pulling the rug out from under him in 2006.

Yes, the district went for McCain. Official politicos can probably break it down by individual precincts, which you have to do to fully analyze the fifth. Three, four of its counties are not completely in the district, but spiit out elsewhere.

But McCain won the district, by 51.5 percent.
Spratt didn’t just take the district. He made it his b—-, winning 61.6 percent of the vote.

So someone above mouting off about Spratt losing the important “swing” voters, umm, dude, show me polling that says `more than 10.1 percent of the voters in the district are those “swing” voters, and we might be able to have a conversation.

If there are that many, and Spratt/Mulvaney split them, then Spratt wins because the rest of the district is what it is.

It’s possible, if he LOST 10 percent of the votes he got in 2008, meaning they don’t show up, he could still win, if Mulvaney doesn’t really energize a whole, huge district and get out a lot of new voters.

It’s likely Spratt has lost his home county, which happened like once or twice to Larry Bigham. But those were close. No, he might lose big here. But 2006 election results show he could have lost 7,000 votes in York County, the GOP’s main bastion here, and still won that election comfortably.

So you support cap-and-trade, the bailouts, and nationalized health care? Doesn’t sound like you are the swing voter in the 5th.

Independents abandoned the Dems in Viriginia and New Jersey. They are abandoning Spratt in droves as well.

Good constituent service certainly does matter — until you start voting for trillions of dollars in debt and government overreaching in a basically conservative area. Go tell the farmers’ wives in Marlboro that the governmetn will be picking their OB/GYN for them (if they can even find one) and you’ll see how much goodwill that birthday card 5 years ago gets the Congressman.

Spratt is through.

Dems give away “free stuff” to those who don’t work.
