Yep, R: it’s the voters, stupid.

Most Black people go to church and get told how to vote.
Christian Right types go to church and get told how to vote.
There is only a small sliver in the middle who can and maybe give some thought to who and what they are voting for.

I recently spoke with a person who was on Sanford’s staff during Sanford’s first term.

I asked, “What was it like? What impressions did you take away after working closely with the Governor for four years?”

This person, not in politics, commented, “It is amazing how really, plainly, stupid he is. Dumb. Moronic. He does not seek out advise of others, even potential allies. Self-destructive. A nut-case. Dumber than Forrest Gump.”

Forrest Gump sayings from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109830/quotes

Forrest Gump: Stupid is as stupid does.

and

Forrest Gump: Why don’t you love me, Jenny?
[Jenny says nothing.]
Forrest Gump: I’m not a smart man… but I know what love is.

and

Coach Bryant: That kid may be the stupidest son of a bitch I’ve ever seen, but he sure is fast!

and

Jenny Curran: His name’s Forrest.
Forrest Gump: Like me.
Jenny Curran: I named him after his daddy.
Forrest Gump: He got a daddy named Forrest, too?
Jenny Curran: You’re his daddy, Forrest.

and, in this case, “Drill Sergeant” is Bobby Harrell:

Drill Sergeant: Gump! What’s your sole purpose in this army?
Forrest Gump: To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!
Drill Sergeant: God damn it, Gump! You’re a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump. Listen up, people…
Forrest Gump: [narrates] Now for some reason I fit in the army like one of them round pegs. It’s not really hard. You just make your bed real neat and remember to stand up straight and always answer every question with “Yes, drill sergeant.”
Drill Sergeant: …Is that clear?
Forrest Gump: Yes, drill sergeant!

Go GUMP … I mean MARK!

South Carolina gets what we deserve. We keep electing corrupt self-serving morons to the Legislature year in and year out. Nothing will change and South Carolina will not advance into modern times until people get fed up and quit electing these dumb asses.

“This isn’t a victory for the taxpayers or good government advocates – in fact, it’s not a victory at all.”

How can you not understand? This is SC government. It is the same from the Governor’s Mansion to big agencies like DHEC, down probably to the Swansea city council and trivial semi-official committees on this problem or that. It is image over substance, what you can talk about and point to and pat yourself on the back about, god forbid not anything involving an objective assessment of what you actually did and accomplished.

Bobby Harrell is a joke….unless you like warrantless searches.He keeps all his new expanded liberty ideas in a secret compartment in his car.

Maybe if sanford had better people skills, he would have gotten his way by now. This shit about they are all crooks is no excuse.

Would someone please tell me if we’re having a SC Treasurer’s race or a Comptroller General’s race? What’s this upstate philanthropist deciding to do?
If this is how indecisive the guy is, I’d as soon he continue with his charity fundraisers!
