NOTHING SAYS “THANK YOU” LIKE A BIG PILE OF CASH
U.S. Senator-designate Tim Scott is wasting no time raising campaign funds for the woman who appointed him to his new post – an ethically dubious fundraising pitch that was accompanied by all sorts of fawning praise for S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley.
Less than 72 hours after being tapped by Haley to fill the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by fiscal conservative champion Jim DeMint, Scott is already assisting Haley in raising money for her 2014 gubernatorial reelection.
Talk about a new land speed “pay to play” record.
Take a look …
Fellow Patriots,
I was honored earlier this week when Governor Nikki Haley gave me the opportunity to replace outgoing Senator Jim DeMint.
Watching the Governor from afar has been incredible. I can’t imagine the daily pressures of governing this state. But I can see with clarity the conviction, integrity, and character that she governs with.
The Democrats are already in attack mode against her, and as I send this, they are already preparing their smear campaign against the Governor in the next election. We need Nikki Haley in office to continue fighting for the conservative principles we hold so dear. I understand it is the holiday season, but Governor Haley needs just another $27,450 to end this month strong.
Please consider making a donation here to help her reach her goal.
This is only the beginning, but the future is incredibly bright and looks great in our state!
South Carolina is better because we have Nikki Haley as our governor and I look forward to working with her for a long time to come.
Sincerely,
Tim Scott
Wait … come again?
Aside from Scott’s patently ridiculous assertions that Haley is governing with “conviction, integrity and character” (huh?) or fighting “for the conservative principles we hold so dear” (what?) or his claim that “South Carolina is better because we have Nikki Haley as governor” (did he mean to say “Georgia is better?“) – talk about a shameless move.
Seriously … how unseemly is this appeal? This guy hasn’t even been sworn in yet and he’s already paying off the person who appointed him.
So … how much cash is Scott on the hook for with Haley? We don’t know … but we’re sure Boeing and others who have bought his vote in the past will be more than willing cover the tab. And however much Scott agreed to raise for Haley, it’s obviously more than the $400,000 IOU Haley has with former S.C. First Lady Jenny Sanford.
Shady, shady, shady …
As we’ve noted previously, Scott doesn’t know his ass from his elbow when it comes to assessing “integrity” or “conservatism” in other politicians. Remember, this is the guy who recently praised corrupt, fiscally liberal S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell along similar lines.
Really, Tim?
More than his demonstrably false fawning, though, Scott’s fundraising efforts on Haley’s behalf make it painfully clear that DeMint’s Senate seat was for sale to the highest bidder from the very beginning. The only question left to answered is how much it cost – and who negotiated the fee (our money is on Haley’s longtime political consultant Jon Lerner, who reportedly played an integral role in negotiating Haley’s “Savannah River Sellout“).

Of course Tim Scott is paying for that position. The Republicans think they have a political machine. Problem is if the Democrats would put up a challenger in every election you’d really see how much ground they’ve lost. I’ll be honest if the Democrats can spread from the cities to the country Republicans are done.
It is the Chicago way!
Actually not really that was just a few idiots and amazing messaging that created that slogan
The real “machine” in SC is non-partisan. So SC Republicans who know anything at all don’t “think they have a machine”. So much of the business they do together is behind the scenes, and much of it is corrupt as hell. Think about Benjamin in Columbia, and all the Dems who are in cahoots with the “Myrtle Beach Mafia” and helped Tom Rice get elected to Congress.
As for any talk about smears on Haley coming from Democrats, fact is that much of it is truth, and it comes from Republicans too. Bigtime.
Excuse me, what is that SUCKING sound I hear?
I agree with the assessment in this article. Although, he needs to learn how to round numbers. What’s with this “Governor Haley needs just another $27,450 to end this month strong.” What does she need it for – another out-of-trip for Christmas and New Year? And why does she need to be strong?
PS: According to her previous statements to the press, she already knows how to “kick ass.”
Or could that have been another autocorrect error – “kiss”?
Yes, it is.
I am so disappointed in Scott.
I thought he was the real deal but now I see he would place his reputation (and ours) on the line for a Senate Seat.
Haley has another pawn.
Her consultant Jon learner has another cash cow.
SC continues to be a near thrived world country.
No news here.
Move along
Haley needs more than that to be able to buy enough votes to get re-elected.
Wow, this was poor, poor judgment. The Quinns would not have allowed this error.
This is what happens when you don’t cover your tracks.
Illinois Governor went to prison for this.
How is this not an “oh shit” moment for everyone involved in this?
Wow.
Here Tim Scott is. Not even appointed yet and what is he doing? Paying back the person that appointed him!
Even if this is “OK”, it stinks. It also calls into his judgement.
Bottom line; is he dumb, or did he not have a choice? I suspect we all will agree he is not dumb. So that leaves the latter.
Even if this is “OK”, it stinks. It also calls into his judgement.
Ultimately a vast majority of Congress is this way, and on both sides. Besides that, Haley is bought. Obviously the bought governor will appoint a bought representative to the Senate.
Tim Scott is slowly shedding his Tea Party skin. He’s going to end up a regular everyday establishment Republican. He’s showing us right now how well he’ll serve those who help keep him in power. And at the end of the day, he’ll be laughing his ass off when he, Graham, and Haley all win reelection in 2014.
Just stick together and BEEEE Conservative…
FITS-Lovers gone hate…because they Hate America and the loathe South Carolina and themselves…
Candidates who MOST resist the Liberals, and Candidates who are Conservative are Heroes…
Can’t just do the right thing only when you have the white house…we need you NOW more than ever, if we have hope of healing and turning back all the dmamge Obama and the left are doing…
How does it feel to be wrong again? Yeah, he got this on his own. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! You friggin’ moron. You believe anything the corruption machine and media spoon feed you. Think for yourself (well, maybe that is not a good idea).
Just more proof that Scott was not the best choice for this job
Tim Scott just lost my vote.
I wouldn’t have voted for him to start with!!!
Well, let me see…
The General Assembly makes the laws, writes the budgets, and over-rides any veto from the Governors office.
Vetoing anything is standing up for conservative values? In SC, this is true. The GA will over-ride vetoes as THEY see fit. So, yes, his description is accurate in this context.
Only thing dumber than Scott raising money for haley is doing it the same week she appointed him
Who would advise him to do such a foolish thing? Besides professional fundraiser and consultants?
At least we know now who runs Tim Scott and our Senate seat,
If he’s gay, no problem. If he’s a crook, big problem.
I got the same email and thought I would throw up!
Has anybody received a ltter from DOR regarding the hacking? I have not.

So you want $27,450 to cover this month’s vig to the Gypsy Queen.
You do realize that next month and every month hereafter the vig will continue to rise and may include penalties until you pay off the principal. Trust me, you don’t want the dude with the turban to show up demanding payment.
Why don’t you contact that Fat Fuck of a Racist down in Charleston for a little help. He did drop your name several times in his recent letter proclaiming McBride to be the Black Madonna.
Hell, with the amount of taxpayer’s money Jackson, Howard and Clyburn want to shove in her panties she should be able to float you a loan.
However with your loan to the Gypsy Queen and a loan to the Black Madonna, your ass better get down to Dollar General and get second job. You will need the extra income until you can line up some lobbyists to buy your vote.
jimlewis,owb
ps I did get your vig email and I forwarded it to everyone in my contact list. So far the responses have ranged from kiss my ass to if I ever see you again I will shove that email up your ass.
….. VERY GOOD!
What an amicable dunce.
Not much of a free thinker.
Talks a good talk though.
What an amicable dunce.
Not much of a independant thinker or idea guy.
Too bad he talks a good talk.
Dear Patriots…
What a fucking joke.
Well, looks like South Carolina is still The Theatre of the Absurd…
Unless the letter is going to Tom Brady, no one who receives it is remotely close to being a patriot.
ABH in 2014.

Much truth. Thanks, I needed that.
Well, look at it this way, at least he’s prompt in paying his bills!
More weak ass shit by Fits and his libtard readers – I am starting to sound like Big T, I know. But Blago literally was looking to sell the seat – “give me money and I will appoint you” – not “help me raise money after I have appointed you.” Big difference there – political allies help each other every day. So what?
This would be a more legitimate criticism if she had appointed Jenny Sanford after getting $400k in direct funds from her PAC.
Time to admit it – Nikki handled this one just about right – she took herself out early, she vetted the usual suspects, she narrowed it down to five, including two women, and then she gave the R’s something they needed – a young, attractive, black conservative from a white red state.
And she made a friend in the process. This has to help her in her reelection efforts – for the first time, she is starting to act like a real Governor instead of an aging cheerleader.
I think we are gonna be looking at 4 more years of Nikki’s sadly sagging but once nice ass, her pock marked face, big teeth, hook nose, and flat chest.
Nikki – take a page out of Ken Ard’s book – go buy some new clothes with some of those campaign funds, get back to the gym, get your teeth capped, buy a push up bra, get a dermabraid, wax the bush, get a new vibrator and get your groove on!
….. I like this post too. But how do you know her ass was “once nice” and why do you say that about her “flat chest”? That may be now but not back then when she was a co-ed.
This was the easy choice. He’s a GREAT Conservative…so she strengthens her position. And Demint, the most powerful elected official in SC, endorsed Scott…
And there are some (a few) Leftists (and some Republicans) who will not attack a Black man because anti-white Racism is the TOP guiding instinct. So Haley actully pleased some of her enemies…
But in the end, it’s what seperates me from the common, packthink.
Scott is so strong, he would have and could have won the office on his own. Haley could have picked a caretaker, then let Scott win it…
She was not creative in her move…but this won’t cost her…

Ard did all that? I did not know that. And I was happy that way. Damn you Spa Diva for giving me such disturbing mental images!
Pay back for political appointments is always required from both party’s. Nothing new, her getting out of the gate quicker shows she has a well oiled machine which every politician wants to have.
“well oiled machine” – You betcha…….
Shifty, you seem to be quite in touch with all the political shinanigans going on in Columbia. Please feel free to continue to enlight the crowd here. Thank you.
Nope. I keep an old dog that I turn loose during the day. He just wanders around the neighborhoods sniffing the air, watching and listening, always on the move.
In the evening he returns to his humble abode to get his grub, stretches a little bit, and then settles down to share his findings with me. Sometimes he knows a lot and sometimes he knows a little.
It’s always interesting but sometimes I do believe he stretches the truth. I just can’t tell the difference.
He rails against moral decay but there he is standing beside one of the outstanding examples of it I have seen in a long while, well at least since Mark Sanford
Fucking A
Savannah River Sellout. No one should be surprised here. If Trikki Nikki gave you something, it’s because you are giving her something.
Blagojevich was a dumbass. Pay-to-play is perfectly legal if you do it right.
All you Republican yakking it up here?
GET REAL!
You are going to vote for Tim Scott because he is going to be the Republican candidate and none of this “stuff” will matter!
Everybody knows it,so save your faux “outrage!”
I see a picture of Scott and immediately comes to mind is, “Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it. “
….. chuckles – x10
I just got back from the Governor’s Mansion tonight after a delightful Xmas Drop In. Coming into Columbia today I just happened to tune in 91.3 ETV Radio and caught a national broadcast commenting on Governor Haley and her recent appointment of Tim Scott. You would never know by visiting this sight, but her star is rising.
Nikki Haley has charisma and she was extremely impressive tonight in the receiving line. I think she is a shrewd politician and knows how to the play the game. Contrary to what you read at FITS I think a lot of South Carolinians are satisfied with her performance as Governor.
She’s sort of like a Tim Tebow, very capable with a high profile. The more haters that beat up on her the more another group of people like her. I do think she will get the last laugh.
Thanks for your informative comments. We are listening for that laugh.
@ShiftyH. Kinda, sorta like when the fat lady sings. And good night nurse, too. However, you possibly might be FITS tone deaf and the laughter you hear may be your own.
The feud between the two politicians had been going on for years, but finally one day his opponent’s bullying, thieving tactics caused the politician to blow his stack. He vented his spleen in a venomous letter, but when his seasoned secretary brought it in for his signature, she ventured the opinion that it was a bit strong. So he cut a few of the most offensive bits, but the secretary still felt it should be toned down.
“All right,” he grumbled as he struck out a few more choice phrases, “but at this rate that jerk’s likely to miss the point entirely.”
Finally, the secretary brought in the third version for his approval. “I suppose this’ll have to do,” said the politician grudgingly, “but you’ve made a couple of typing errors. There’s no C in extortion, subpoena has an O in it, and his wife’s name is Lucille.”
Tim Scott raising money for Nikki Haley’s campaign is …
O Shamefull attempt to get some big white dick
O Serious attempt to get some hot white mancunt
Mikie leaving the country and Timmie gets Nikki’s blessing? Interesting, especially when you look closely at the photo above – they look like they are going to the prom together!
But they ain’t going home together,’know what i’m sayin’-Nikki adds a new one to her resume: pimpin’ fag hag
….. good one
Bedside reading over the holiday period:
1) Haley – “How to Ball Without a Chain”
2) Scott – “You, Too, Can Become Catnip to Women”
Meanwhile…..over at the BOEING Canteen…..
……workers are wondering if this website will have the “ability” to remember who Nikki Haley talked to when she went into a tent in London and Kiawah..??
….and what panel did DeMint and Tim Scott get a GE vibrate from..??
….hopefully Graham and CLYBURN can have a “Hutton” moment with some Haley donors..
…..and what donors would have 1100 acres of cash from BOEING to help with this donation…..considering BOEING has 900 Million to spend on more land…..
…..wow this website just “SPARCles”……
