Elizabeth Colbert-Busch: Version 1.0?

Democratic congressional candidate Elizabeth Colbert-Busch is doing everything she can to portray herself as a moderate in her race against former S.C. Gov.

Democratic congressional candidate Elizabeth Colbert-Busch is doing everything she can to portray herself as a moderate in her race against former S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford. But is that an accurate depiction of the former six-figure taxpayer-funded bureaucrat? Not according to a seismic story published in The Charleston (S.C.) City Paper – which is typically a left-leaning outlet.

Written by Charleston, S.C. radio host Tara Servatius, the story exposes efforts by Colbert-Busch – or operatives acting on her behalf – to delete more than 500 tweets authored by the “moderate” candidate.

What did those tweets say? A lot … including repeated references to her support of gay marriage, minimum wage hikes, organized labor and other “progressive” hot buttons.

“In her deleted tweets, Elizabeth 1.0 proudly retweeted tweets referring to her as a progressive,” Servatius writes . “She rooted for the Democrats to take over the House of Representatives in 2014 and hoped to be part of it. She enthused over donations from Democrats like Tom Daschle, a well-known liberal and long-time proponent of socialized medicine. She basked in the attention she got from Clyburn, who she called a ‘shining beacon of blue light in South Carolina.’ Bottom line, Elizabeth 1.0, the deleted version, is a hard-core liberal Democrat.”

Well that explains why “hard-core liberal Democrats” like U.S. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi are dropping hundreds of thousands of dollars into Colbert-Busch’s race, doesn’t it?

Servatius was able to view Colbert-Busch’s deleted tweets because they were “saved and archived” by the non-partisan Sunlight Foundation. She was also able to cut to the chase about the chasm that exists between the “two Elizabeths.”

“If she wins, you have to wonder which Elizabeth will go to Washington,” Servatius concludes. “Will it be the one that sent out a breathless press release cheering the 2,000 new jobs Boeing says it will create in North Charleston? Or will it be the one who took a donation from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the union that tried to use a federal labor board to block Boeing from moving thousands of jobs from unionized Washington plants to Charleston?”

That’s a damn good question …

Hilarious. They provide evidence that someone that’s running as a Democrat supports Democrats and “rooted for the Democrats to take over the House of Representatives in 2014.”

Well holy shit, call Woodward and Bernstein, I smell a Pulitzer in Servatius’ future.

Yawn! Sanford carries on affair on the state dime, then acts like an idiot on TV, then breaks into ex-wife’s house. ECB deletes tweets proving she is a Democrat. Again, Yawn! You know if the GOP was really concerned about Boeing, the Unions, or anything else they should have nominated someone with some character.

Come on FITS, why don’t you just endorse Sanford? Too afraid it will come back to haunt you? So instead you grasp at straws to discredit his opponent. Surely you can do better than that. Or can you?

Oh, you don’t say. She said if Clyburn didn’t watch out he would find himself in the back seat of a car with a blue light

Well damn, that might get her a vote or two. However it is still

Considering Sanford will work against the programs that help children born into poverty, single parenthood, foster homes, abusive/neglectful homes, poor health, etc., choosing “abandonment” is quite inhuman. But hey, go ahead and believe you’ve taken the moral high ground.

Inclined to put her in as a short-term placeholder. In that time period she can’t do too much if any damage and then correct the mistake with the next election. It’s an awful choice to make but Sanford needs to get the message that he is unacceptable as a candidate and needs help and/or a career change. He told everyone he “doesn’t need the job” what with him serving on boards and real estate investments….

This story is pure crap. Look here http://politwoops.sunlightfoundation.com/user/ColbertBuschSC and you can see those were deleted RETWEETS, and her profile says “RT do not equal endorsement”. In other words, “BIG EFFING DEAL!

Sanford rebranded himself from liar, hypocrite and bad father to liar, hypocrite and worse father. The Christian-sounding “forgive me, for I have sinned, but now vote for me” is new.

Like the new ketchup packages at McDonalds, but it’s the exact same ketchup inside.

Will Fits support this man?

Fits’ credibility is on the line.

You really have to ask, who is Elizabeth (kohl-BURT’) and why is she here. She seems to have been pushed into this. (kohl-BURT’)’s opponent, Martin Skelly, suddenly dropped out of the race. Why? He is a solid example of living the American Dream. A self-made man, Mr Skeely says,”I know that when we work together, Americans can solve any problem. Our challenges are significant — but our ability to overcome is never in doubt.”

And he is a Democrat? He seems to be one the few Democrats that are not part and parcel to the Socialist-Radical Wing of extreme leftist throwbacks calling themselves Democrats. Why did he drop out? Was he pushed out? By whom?

A casual search for (kohl-BURT’) shows she is married to Claus W. Busch III. He is one of us, hard worker, donates his time and treasure. Did he ask Mr Skelly to dropout? I would think a primary would rally Democrat voters, get them to the polls, and support their candidate on May 7th. Was Mr Skelly really asked to dropout to save money on a primary? Makes no sense since a primary is healthy. Who picked (kohl-BURT’) and asked Mr Skelly to drop out?

Upon further casual research, Mrs (kohl-BURT’) has three children. Mary Legare
Middleton, Robert Walker Legare, Jr, Catherine Ann Legare. Backup… Mary Legare Middleton…Middleton…Middleton…MIDDLETON! The Middleton who signed the Declaration of Independence for South Carolina? THAT Middleton? Arthur Middleton’s family of today? Is this about South Carolina’s people in SC-1 or Charleston’s Old Money in SC-1? Did she get a 100k job using Clemson’s office in N Charleston because her daughter married a Middleton? Was the Democrat field cleared because of the Middleton’s?

I think we are getting warm. Could Mrs (kohl-BURT’) have been offered a chance to run that she could not refuse? Is she backed by the Charleston Middleton’s? Is her candidacy really about SC-1, jobs, taxes….or them?

The candidates, all of them were either props to pull votes away or are propped by supporters waiting for that oath to be given to begin using the office for personal gain.

What a sham to allow two people running on ulterior motives, where the winner will have real Constitutional Authority…to sell out.

That would be limo liberal Liz Colbert-Busch? Some of the ads her friends run, friends that excuse far more egergious transgressions for their fellow travellers, would have us believe that the fabled “state stealth airplane” can fly to Buenos Aires and back from Columbia without refuelling… if so, then Emperor Sanford is a greater developer or energy resources than a Charlesont Innovista Liz Bush tilting with windmills…
