McConnell Statement On Senate Election
McConnell Suprises Again: Won’t Seek Old Senate Seat
Throwing the S.C. political world for yet another loop, S.C. Lt. Governor Glenn McConnell announced on Thursday that he would not campaign for the State Senate seat that he recently vacated.
The veteran legislative leader – who “ascended” to the lieutenant governor’s office last week after Ken Ard resigned in disgrace – was widely expected to [...]
Bringing Down Ken Ard: The Story No One Wanted
S.C. Lt. Gov. Ken Ard’s resignation can be traced to a mountain cabin just across the South Carolina state line …
There, near Cedar Mountain, N.C., three prominent Palmetto democratic operatives – Phil Bailey, Tyler Jones and Lachlan McIntosh – met in January to chart a new course for an ailing party. It was a grim [...]
Remember Ken Ard?
Earlier this week, a friend of ours forwarded a cell phone picture of a rather curious barroom trivia question: Who is South Carolina’s current lieutenant governor?
Take a look …
(Click to enlarge)
The answer to that question, of course, is Ken Ard (RINO-Pamplico). In fact, Ard received more votes in 2010 (735,089) than any other contested Republican [...]
Larry Grooms Campaigns For SC2
S.C. Sen. Larry Grooms (R-Berkeley) is quietly campaigning for the Palmetto state’s “second highest office” in the event it is vacated by its current scandal-plagued occupant, Ken Ard.
The former Republican gubernatorial candidate – who regularly votes in support of taxpayers and limited government advocates at the S.C. State House – is currently in the thick [...]
Strike A Pose, Andre
For a second there we thought that was MacGyver. Or Derek Zoolander (Blue Steel?). Or a model from one of those overpriced catalogs trying to sell us a tweed jacket … (or shampoo).
But alas, that pouting pose-striker is none other than former S.C. Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer – who for reasons surpassing understanding is being [...]
On Naming Stuff …
Recently, we criticized a proposal by a pair of S.C. RINO Senators to provide free college tuition to the children of active duty purple heart recipients.
(Yeah … we’re jerks like that when it comes to protecting your money).
Anyway, in related “military decoration news” we wanted to pass along an idea that one of our loyal [...]
Bauer “Sexchange”
This is wrong … very wrong. And we know it …
Of course there’s a flip side to that coin …
If politicians in South Carolina are going to continue using tax dollars and shady backroom deals to glorify themselves (while sticking us with a sluggish economy, sky-high unemployment and declining income levels) then we’re going to [...]
Don’t Worry, It’s Not A Stray
By FITSNews || In an election full of affair allegations, polygraph examinations and over-the-top ethnic slurs, props to the Spartanburg Herald-Journal for capturing some garden variety political cheeziness courtesy of Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer – who has always been a magnet for such ridiculousness.
And while that’s clearly no Beverly Hills Chihuahua, we’re guessing it’s not a stray [...]
Bauer Passes Polygraph Exam
By FITSNews || We’ve always been told that you can fool a polygraph machine by simply wiggling your toes when you’re lying, but for what it’s worth S.C. Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer has reportedly passed a polygraph examination regarding his role – or apparently non-role - in the recent allegations of infidelity leveled against S.C. Rep. Nikki Haley.
Bauer [...]
Bad Omen For Andre?
By FITSNews || As far as we can tell, S.C. Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer’s gubernatorial campaign is peaking at the right time, benefiting from some sound financial management as well as the fallout from the candidate’s recent “Bulworth” moment.
He’s also got a decent commercial up on the air, and enough money to stay competitive with [...]
Strays: Stop Feeding SC Politicians
By FITSNews || Stray animals across the state of South Carolina banded together on Wednesday, demanding that Palmetto State taxpayers stop feeding their useless politicians.
“Grrrrrr,” they said. “Grrrrrrrrrrr.”
If only we could heed that advice … and do so while simultaneously avoiding jail time for tax evasion.
Anyway, the strays’ press conference was held in response to [...]
