An independent expenditure group which ran ads on behalf of S.C. Senator Larry Grooms (R-Berkeley) during last month’s GOP primary for the Palmetto State’s first congressional district is preparing to run radio and television promoting the fiscal conservative as a write-in candidate in the general election.
You read that right … in the general election. As [...]
SC-1: Larry Grooms Write-In Candidacy Promoted
Can Mark Sanford Stabilize?
Up until this week, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford had caught every break in his political comeback.
Let’s recap those fortuitous moments, shall we?
Break No. 1 – S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley decided to appoint U.S. Rep. Tim Scott to the Senate seat vacated in January by Jim DeMint – creating an unexpected opening in Sanford’s backyard.
Break No. [...]
Maria Belen Chapur Is In Country?
Mark Sanford’s political comeback took a big step forward Tuesday night with his convincing win over Curtis Bostic in the GOP runoff for South Carolina’s first congressional district. But it was Sanford’s “soul mate” – making her first public appearance – who stole the show.
Joining the former governor under the white hot lights on his [...]
Mark Sanford: Don’t Call It A Comeback!
Two days after Easter, former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford continued his rise from the political grave … with his “soul mate” at his side for the resurrection.
The scandal-scarred former chief executive – whose political career was thought to be over in the wake of a disastrous 2009 sex scandal – claimed the GOP nomination for South Carolina’s [...]
Curtis Bostic’s $222 Million Lie
Talk about tax dollars vanishing …
While “Republican” congressional candidate Curtis Bostic continues to tout his “conservative” ideology, his primary example of “unifying conservatives around conservative ideas” continues to unravel.
On his campaign website (and during a recent debate), Bostic boasted of his role in pushing a so-called private sector conservation initiative called the “Greenbelt Bank.” According to [...]
The Colbert-Busch Poll
Elizabeth Colbert-Busch’s congressional campaign released fresh polling on the eve of a GOP runoff election suggesting former Gov. Mark Sanford – not trial lawyer Curtis Bostic – would be the Republican Party’s best chance to hold on to the first congressional district seat vacated earlier this year by Tim Scott.
Hmmm …
That finding flies in the [...]
T-Rav: My Endorsement Of Mark Sanford
In an era when scant deference is paid to the Constitution, we basically have a majoritarian system (democracy) that is completely exploited by the special interest lobbies that know how to work the system and gain consolidated benefits with diffused costs. Too many politicians go along as they too benefit by getting consolidated benefits to [...]
Jesus Endorses Curtis Bostic For Congress
Maybe this was the game changing endorsement Curtis Bostic’s team was referring to?
One day after rising from dead, the Son of our Lord weighed in on the “Republican” runoff in South Carolina’s first congressional district – signaling his support for the fiscally liberal former Charleston County councilman over philandering former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford.
His chosen [...]
On Curtis Bostic’s Absences
First of all let’s state the obvious: It was crazy stupid of former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford to criticize anybody on the issue of public sector attendance.
The guy who ditched his state for the Appalachian Trail … err, some Argentine tail … has absolutely no room to talk on this front. And he absolutely should [...]
Will Folks, Narcissistic Sociopath
My name is Will Folks and I’m a narcissistic sociopath … or so say the headlines.
And I’m fine with that … I’ve got a big ego, obviously. And I like to have that ego (and other big things of mine) stroked. Repeatedly. Expertly. And to completion.
But the Macphisto-esque “Sic Willie” caricature who authors/ adorns the [...]
Summey: The Truth About Those “Greenbelts”
Much has been made lately about Charleston County’s “Greenbelt” program by politicians looking to make political hay within the conservation community. While in many regards this program has been successful, that success has come at a tremendous price to citizens and visitors of Charleston County. There are many ways this program could have been done [...]
Mark Sanford For Congress
To say this website has gone round the bend a few times with former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford is an understatement. It’s a lengthy, rocky history – one which has factored prominently in the Palmetto State’s recent political past.
In the summer of 2001, Sanford plucked our founding editor from the obscurity of a bass guitar [...]
