Comments on: How Things “Get Done” In SC http://www.fitsnews.com/2009/12/28/how-things-get-done-in-sc/ Politics, Sports and Pop Culture Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:03:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: WorkingTommyC http://www.fitsnews.com/2009/12/28/how-things-get-done-in-sc/#comment-80636 WorkingTommyC Tue, 29 Dec 2009 16:28:40 +0000 http://www.fitsnews.com/?p=36579#comment-80636 At the state level, I have yet to see a reasonable argument for a combined ticket. This is plainly something not worthy of spending any time nor energy on. Naturally, with that being the case, here comes Glenn! But then, one waste deserves another, I suppose.

Why would we want one career politician selecting another career politician to run with him? Having the opportunity to elect individuals based on merit and not their political deal-making experience is good for this state. Continue giving me the opportunity to elect those like Mick Zais, Bill Connor and others. I for one do not want anymore backroom dealmakers. I want real conservative leadership.

The BS about Lt. Governors being elected separately is being dragged into this. A majority of the states who have Lt. Governors elect them on their own. There are a few reasons for such. First, the Lt. Governor in the states that have them is the President of the State Senate. Other states see that as something that should be elected by all the people, unless you like New York or New Jersey, who think that the executive should lord over the legislative branch. Second, when will a Lt. Governor be nominated? We do not have state political conventions that are equal to the federal level with President. Will candidates choose their Lt. Governors when they announce and run on a primary ticket? Will party leaders really defer to gubernatorial nominees and just rubber stamp their picks for Lt. Governor? Sometimes I want to cry out at the ignorance of those who keep thinking state government ought to be more like the federal government. Is it really a good thing to take the selection of the Lt. Governor out of the hands of the people and hand it over to some group of political hacks in some cigar smoked filled back room? Is that what you think progress and reform is? Ughhh! The BS about Lt.

You criticize your governor no matter what he says. It seems to me, he's looking out for South Carolina as he should be. There you go again. You criticize your governor no matter what he says.

Street talk this week is the ole Queen Jean is up to her arse in this Charlie Segars-Andrews mess and be damned to all those who think otherwise. Legislators need to cancel their New Years holiday plans and get to work - because Jean is working this one hard. There can be no investigation into her sacred Commission on Judicial Conduct. (That's just and her political cronies, FYI.) After "they" decide what will make the Court and Jean look the best, then all other details will fall into place. However, there are cracks in those backroom walls........ I am with you, stand828.
