Dear Editor,
Its a great day in South Carolina!
Waitresses who are fortunate enough to have a job are making nickles and dimes; men have lost hope of getting a job; retired union employees are moving to South Carolina and buying homes on their overinflated wages driving the costs and availability of homes up; illegal aliens are taking our jobs and getting food stamps-welfare-medicaid-housing assistance; its a great day in South Carolina when our governor will not support the Fair Tax because she is a CPA and doesn’t want to alienate other CPAs and tax lawyers; Its a great day in South Carolina if you’re married to Nikki because she got her husband a nice cushy state job; its a great day in SC if you’re on her staff because she gave them a very nice pay raise; its a great day in South Carolina because Nikki approves the dredging the Savannah River but will not help our Ports; and its a great day in South Carolina because Nikki is probably planning either another taxpayer funded vacation or out of state fundraiser.
Nikki, where do your loyalties lie; bet the Tea Party regrets supporting you.

… correction: Nimrata is not a CPA; she graduated with a degree in accounting.
By Dr. House February 16, 2012 at 6:30 am
There are doubts she graduated. No degree.

I studied hard and did not cheat my way through. There’s the right way and then there’s the easy way.

Of course, she is a CPA-

It is astounding to watch this Madras Machiavelli put the serial hurting on all those she has used and cast aside and those still in her way. Barely more than a political novice she has put her hobnail boots into the backs of the trod-upon good ol’ boys, even as she backhands with a riding crop those still standing. Sure, her stooges, quislings, and kapos failed in dethroning the treasurer, but she is beating the soapy Statehouse sashayers on so many more.
One may be horrified or happy at her juggernaut but its hard not to be amazed. Books and many theses and far more than one dissertation will be written on this lashing lassie.

Thank you for the excerpt from your latest “Bodice Buster”.
I especially like – “lashing lassie”
Eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Like the Big Bang, the Tea Party came from seemingly nowhere. But it was in 2010, an off-election year when extreme right voters — NOT MODERATES — appeared en masse to protest not just economic issues (of concern to ALL voters) but especially social issues (abortion, contraception, sex education, homosexuality, sex out of marriage, stem cell research, school prayer, right to own machine guns at age 12, etc.) All that social stuff is kaput and the Tea Party has vanished as a force in the Republican primaries. Except for the idiots, like Rick Santorum, on the far right side of right, farther than Barry Goldwater would be in 2012. Santorum even says he will “bring my religion into the White House” — implying that he’ll feel comfortable evangelizing the country towards his brand of Christianity — Latin Roman Catholic. That’s one reason the founding fathers created this nation — to separate church and state. If Santorum wins the primary, I’m voting for Obama.

The Tea Party did not come from nowhere. After the disastrous W years, the Republicans needed a way to re-energize their base, so they created the tea party. Republican operatives started and funded the tea party and Fox News promoted it for them.

TEA Party is getting what they deserve!
You betcha!

“retired union employees are moving to South Carolina and buying homes on their overinflated wages driving the costs and availability of homes up;”
WTF are you talking about? This makes no sense at all.
By GoTigers712 February 16, 2012 at 12:02 pm
i guess you havnt seen all of the people from the north moving to charleston
drive around isle of palms, look at what plants the people grow in their yard, look at the facades on their houses, pay special attention to the crape myrtles and how well they are pruned…you can always tell which house holds a yankie and which house holds a southern family
By Ken E. February 16, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Probably because I live nowhere near Charleston. However, there are plenty of Northerners where I live. The disconnect in the original quote is the crack at union workers. All the people moving to SC are former union workers? That’s absurd.

SC Tea Party = Uninformed, uneducated electorate = REDNECKS!!!

I’m not a Tea Party member, but this letter is bullshit. And while I don’t support Haley, at least damn her with facts, not bullshit.
By Recovering Lobbyist February 16, 2012 at 9:21 am
South Carolina voters regret the Tea Party.

South Carolina citizens who have any concept of what is going on in the state government despise haley and all of her self-serving, unqualified agency heads, department heads, directors, deputy directors, and misguided supervisors. We need people to run these agencies and departments who have the knowledge, experience, expertise, and commitment to serve the public instead of their own agendas. They work for us, not her. She and all her minions need to be removed from their positions and replaced with those who can actually do the job that needs to be done to make our state respectable and stop the downward spiral. If our elected Senators and Representatives are not going to stand up for the people who put them in their positions, they can go as well. Haley has done more for Georgia and NC than their own governors have so maybe we can swap. November 2012 will result in the biggest change in who is sitting in the Senators and Representative chairs in the State House. Lots of new faces, lots of improvement.

“retired union employees are moving to South Carolina and buying homes on their overinflated wages driving the costs and availability of homes up”
They are bringing in out-of-state MONEY into SC and when they fucking BUY a home the person who OWNED it makes a profit and adds that MONEY to the SC economy. Their retirement checks also go into SERVICE industries like hospitality businesses which employ your hypothetical waitress.
If you are stupid to afford a home, shoot yourself in the face and quit wasting oxygen.
If you failed to have a portable, profitable skill and are jobless due to that mistake, get one and correct your problem, or see the previous suggestion.
