In response to blistering criticism of his vote to sell out South Carolina’s school children, S.C. Sen. Paul Campbell took to the Lowcountry airwaves this week to try and do a little damage control. Campbell gave an interview to WTMA (Charleston, S.C.) radio host Tara Servatius in which he claimed he really supports school choice, but voted against it during the budget debate because “it only lasts for one year” and he wants “lasting reform.”
Jeez … is this guy for real?
Does he really think we’re that stupid? Oh wait … we are that stupid … which is kind of the point of this whole debate, isn’t it?
Anyway, one of nine “Republican” Senators who voted against choice, Campbell also voted in favor of the costly Medicaid expansion associated with U.S. President Barack Obama’s socialized medicine law earlier in the week. Not only that he voted in favor of Obama’s signature “education reform,” universal government-run preschool.
And this guy calls himself a “Republican?”
Amazing … yet par for the course in “GOP-controlled” South Carolina.
Campbell have one more chance this year to prove whether his stated support for parental choice is ever going to be accompanied by action … or whether he

Just like Cromer and Alexander: Ronald Reagan wannabes at home with the voters, and patronage-doling Leatherites in Columbia with the caucus.

OMG, he looks like a pedophile.
He looks more like a turtle than Mitch McConnell.
Pedophiles usually look like your stepfather, daddy or grandpappy, statistically speaking.

At least more principle than those who voted to “nullify” the Affordable Health Care Act. People who voted for that know nothing about either history or the constitution. So, they want to put in jall a person who tries to get affordable health care next year? A really stupid law.
Obamacare itself is an arrogation of centralized control over peoples’ lives more than about health care – and is itself unconstitutional. Health Care is not a right – it must be produced by the Doctors, Nurses, Staff educated to deliver it. You cannot force anyone to study medicine or stay in the profession – and are seeing it become more bureaucratic, and driven to least common denominators relative to standards of care. If the goal is the best care for the most people at the lowest cost O’care is the worst approach yet proposed in this country.
The US supreme court disagrees with you on that “unconstitutional” part.
The American people were betrayed by SCOTUS.
