INCUMBENT ONE OF THE FEW WHO HAS “WALKED THE WALK …”
This website doesn’t do many endorsements …
After all, endorsements are like … well, something everybody else has. Ummm … opinions. Yeah, that’s it.
Anyway … endorsing Curtis Loftis in his bid for a second term as Treasurer of South Carolina is the ultimate no-brainer, though. That’s because Loftis is one of those rare public figures who (gasp!) has actually done what he said he was going to do.
In stark contrast to the “hope and change” of Barack Obama – or the “movement” for reform led by Gov. Nikki Haley – Loftis has made good on the campaign rhetoric that swept him into office in 2010. He said he would be transparent – and unlike Obama and Haley (who campaigned on similar promises), he has been. He said he would protect taxpayers – and unlike almost every other politician (“Republican” or Democrat) in Columbia, S.C., he has. He said he would challenge the state’s corrupt status quo – and unlike virtually every other politician in state government, he has.
And then some …
Loftis has courageously taken on the state’s underperforming pension fund (a.k.a. the S.C. Retirement System Investment Commission) – and done so at great personal and political cost. In fact you’re reading this endorsement because the leaders of that corrupt fund went out and recruited an opponent to run against him in this spring’s GOP primary election. Otherwise Loftis – who ran unopposed in the 2010 general election – would have run unopposed this go-round.
Loftis has been a one-man wrecking crew when it comes to exposing the pension fund’s failures as well as the shameless self-serving behavior of its corrupt commissioners, led by Hugh Leatherman appointee Reynolds Williams.
Has so-called “reformer” Haley helped him in his efforts? Absolutely not. Her appointee to the commission actually led an effort to censure Loftis – and she’s been working behind the scenes to block an audit of the fund.
Prior to that, Williams led a failed effort to have Loftis removed from his fiduciary role on the commission – desperate to keep bad behavior (and worse results) hidden from public view.
What sort of behavior are we talking about?
Last September, this website exclusively reported on $1.4 million in bonuses paid out to the managers of this $25 billion fund – a surprisingly tone deaf move considering its abysmal performance.
Loftis was the only member of the commission to vote against these bonuses …
Time and again, Loftis has answered the bell. The guy even kept his famous campaign pledge to drive himself to work … in his own car (unlike other statewide officials).
Listen: Politicians promise voters the world when they run for office. Obama did it. Haley did it. Loftis did it.
The difference? Loftis has kept his promises – Obama and Haley haven’t. Whether you agree with Loftis or not, there’s no arguing that basic point: He’s done what he said he would do.
Whereas most elected officials in Columbia or Washington, D.C. embrace the establishments they previously railed against, Loftis has governed the same way he campaigned – with a principled contempt (and occasional righteous indignation) for the special interests and crony capitalists enriching themselves at the expense of those they are supposed to be “serving.”
The way we see it, there’s a paucity of reasons residents of the Palmetto State should cast their votes in the June 10, 2014 “Republican” and Democratic primary elections – which is probably why most of them won’t cast votes on that date. Sadly, the vast majority of names on both major party ballots are pandering blowhards looking to appeal to the lowest common denominator (which is painfully easy to do in South Carolina).
Curtis Loftis is an exception …
We don’t agree with him all the time on every issue, but he’s one of the few incumbents at any level of government who has resisted the pull of the taxpayer-subsidized establishment and stayed true to the ideals he campaign on.
For that, he deserves our votes … and yours.

Figured it was about time for another Loftis or Mace fluff piece by this website.
I don’t know much about Loftis, other then he uses the 529 commercials basically as campaign ads and they are on TV way too much!!!!
I liked the ads and purchased two 529 plans for my two kids. Had them 18 months and am very pleased. If not for the ads I would not have them.
Nice government sponsored ad Loftis. What a loser!
I have no problem with having 529 plan ads, but isn’t an elected politician being front and center in all of them basically the equivalent of free campaign ads? Wouldn’t the 529 ad be just as effective if Loftis wasn’t in every one of them? I think so.
He also promised not to put himself in ads and did anyway
You can participate in 529 plans through many entities, not just the SC State Treasurer’s Office. Those ads were really annoying. My son said “that man looks weird”.
Have you noticed those ads seemed to cease once it was brought out publicly that Curtis Loftis was being a blatant hypocrite? Nicely played, bug man. Nicely played!
Now he’s using the Unclaimed Property Program to promote himself. What a loser. He gets called out on the 529 ads so now he’s using little Girl Scouts to try and make himself look like such a great guy. The little Girl Scouts are such great stewards of their money – they found $13,000 of their money. If they’re such good stewards of their money, how the heck did it end up as unclaimed in the first place? Curt, you are so stupid. Please get someone else to write your material from now own.
PLEASE FITS, don’t endorse Loftis. It hurts his reputation having a democrat supporting him, more than it helps.
Perhaps you support so many losers, you know Loftis has no chance to lose, or a democrat challenger, so you’re trying to keep from going 0-fer…Same reason you feigned support for DeMint, though you two were political opposites.
Loftis does not need you sucking at his waist. Why don’t you keep pumping and humping Sheheen and Ervin???…They need you…(or at least Haley needs you on their side)….to boost her numbers…
I hereby support Loftis as well. If it pisses you off, that is just icing on the cake.
*cackles maniacally as he rubs his evil socialist liberal hands together*
You must be Loftis. What a clever disguise you have maintained. Smirks, I me am curtis, or is it grand tango, or cash. Damn, if everyone, everyday, everywhere, ain’t loftis
Hi! I’m a Das Kapital reading Liberal, and Loftis has my vote!
No…u must be Curt!
Here’s me being curt: I hope you enjoy eatng a bowl of dicks.
That was awesome, John Boy!!!! Did you spend the last couple of weeks sharpening your wit with one of those diamond-embedded sharpeners?
With lots and lots and lots “The White Stuff.” You tell em John Boy!
The secret behind Loftis’s success is two fold. 1. He truly does not care what the political insiders say about him. And 2. he is not afraid of losing office.
He told me once, and yes, we are friends, that the day an elected officials starts worrying about the next election is the day he ought to leave office.
Good luck Curt, and have a productive second term.
http://www.curtisloftis.com/latest-video-treasurer-loftis-fighting-for-us
His new campaign ad. damn good, I thought.
I hear this all the time: “The more they attack Loftis the more we know he is on target.: If the average person can figure that out, you would think these crazies chasing Loftis would know they are making him into a folk hero. The more they smear him, the more popular he becomes.
The only person Loftis is a folk hero to is himself.
Loftis will become real popular when the Nikki Haley Impeachment Trial begins, should the itch somehow win (this would be a good time to bow out Trikki; you know, its like it is said by the rich man in his summer home, ‘best leave well enough alone.’) Its a rock solid case; Trikkis done, you can stick a fork in her. She keeps making mistakes.
Any minute now there will be 2 or 3 crazies that post 100 nasty comments about Loftis. You can set your clock by it. He will get 80% of the vote. At some point these people will understand that nasty does not sell.
Don’t worry, once the people who pay them to post here see Loftis win, they’ll stop the gravy train and the commenters will go MIA. This site is a hotbed for paid commenters by hacks trying in vain to influence public opinion, but they will always fail.
You mean political sluts like Scott Malyerck? Paid for their time? No, say it ain’t so. Please , say it ain’t so
Damn. I supported Tom Rice and Mark Sanford .Tinabu and EBC won?
You are one fucked up, lying hac.
Haley sealed her victory in Conway on Friday. I guess Ervin’s pro-abortion and gay marriage supporting nag/hag will have to tell Tom that Haley is wrong for supporting the citizens of Horry County and that Haley is racist.
Can’t wait for “swerving ervins” next Fax to Fits.
Ervin might as well become a self styled Democrat again and start another petition to get on the ballot.
wiki has him born in 1951 OR 1952. Just have this fool get Danny10,000 signatures for each year!
Why does someone serve his family and community for decades and then decide to throw it all away because mommy wants to be first lady and his ego?
Google Curtis Loftis and alt talk royalty. Curt and his foundation are exposed for what they are! Sick in 2004 and sick in 2014! Cloftis, RichinUS2003=Loftis. Sick
The politics of personal destruction (character assassination to those of you not in the non-political world) is what is done when the opposition has no chance or winning, or the candidate is, or his backers are, evil bastards. Loftis has the unfortunate position having of both of those dynamics at play. It is a malicious game that does not produce winners, but losers. It is sad that it still goes on.
Spelling errors, the word “evil” and “bastards” and the premise all prove this is the Honorable Curtis Loftis commenting again: “it is sad that it still goes on.”
These smear tactics are simply disgusting. I don’t care if they are talking about Obama or Bush, or any politician, this type of gutter language is appalling. The Adams for Treasurer/Investment Commission people ought to be ashamed of themselves. Brian Adams has a family, I suppose he authorized this gutter talk because he knew Loftis would not slime him. He is correct, in that it appears Loftis is running a positive campaign. But what kind of man must Adams be to do this to another?
The Only reason Loftis is not using smear tactics is because he is unable to find anything negative regarding his opponent. Otherwise, we would see a different campaign. You can fool some of the people some of the time…and in his case, he fools a lot of people. But the truth will shine through and those he has fooled will see him for what he really is.
How about his kid dates a wetback and his wife’s brother killed himself after finding out she had an affair with a black coworker!
And that his made up company is a front. He really fixes computers at peoples homes!
That enough?
Yah, sure, that would work … To make you look like a racist jerk. Haha! If that’s all you got, go for it! But golly, I don’t know about that computer thing. I mean, fixing computers at someone’s home is so highly illegal. But the I don’t think it’s quite as illega as funneling money through, say, hmmm … A charitable organization. Yeah, bring it. We gotcha covered.
Now that’s the Curtis we know. Publish it, curt
The Curt we know indeed. He is a RACIST, a fake christian, a liar, an hypocrite, a pervert. Curt is incompetent, vile and totally corrupt. Delinda Ridings, please help him, my dear and take him away. Who wants to work with this man, be in the same room with him? He has lost all credibility and cannot be of any value to the people of SC.
Hey, Curt. Let’s meet at the Phoenix . Need to talk. I will be in NY.
OK, meet Sat. we’ll play SINister twister. Is that you in the pict.?
Curtis, you really should be ashamed for this comment. I am really disappointed in you. How tawdry!
Curtis Loftis, you had a vile campaign against Converse Chellis! We would be better off if Converse had been treasurer for the past 4 years. No doubt about it. The state retirees and employees would have a lot more money in their trust fund and your friend Mike Montgomery would not have 2 mill from the trust fund. This is not gutter talk Curt. It is the truth. You are appalling! You should be ashamed. The BNY is laughing all the way to the bank! The bug man of W.Cola, settling a slam dunk law suit for nothing! All by himself! What a poor treasurer and elected official. The people of SC are not done yet. Florida went to court and got all the money back! Incompetent, Curt..
I am from Summerville. Converse Chellis and his wife have had an open marriage for 20 years. This is not the guy you want in office.
Tell us the details of your divorce and your sexual activities and your venereal disease you got fornicating outside marriage. Oh , we know. See The realCurtisLoftis.com and all the documents going with this link. You are an homosexual , hiding behind a weird sense of religion. We do not want you in office. I have no ideas what chellis relationships are , but if they are an issue so are yours. And we know what yours are!
What does an open marriage have to do with being treasurer? Is it worse than being gay? Or worse than hiding behind a “charitable foundation? Or worse than treating your employees horribly? Or worse than releasing three TERI employees so you can hire your friends? Or worse then making asinine mistakes by settling a lawsuit that was s far out of your realm of knowledge that you lost money for the state employees and retirees? Or worse than …. the exhaustive list of other things I’m too tired to write of at the moment. You, sir, and I use that term loosely, are an incompetent loser.
I’m from Columbia. Curtis Loftis is a loser. Not the guy I want in office.
Curtis, is that the same mouth you kiss your mama with? You dirty scumbag!
To those of you not in the non-political world , character assassination is Curtis Loftis. He has a lot of experience with character assassination. A link to1/1/04 . ” The Saluda Charitable trust, which Mr. Loftis is the Chairman, claims that every single dollar raised goes directly to the needy and that the trust receives no salaries, bills for NO EXPENSES and even their travel expenses.. This man must be a veritable Saint. Next he will claim to be Mother Theresa. People can write The Charity commissioner in SC, or get a petition and write the State calling for an investigation into the Saluda Charitable foundation, including a list of all tax breaks against all donations made, including the beat up- Mercedes..The guys in Serbia have a full list of all the tax break receipts collected by Loftis. Does the First Baptist Church in West Columbia know about his claims of charity work in Bolivia? Does Pastor Lonnie H Shull agree and does the Elevator Fund agree? Loftis need to come clean. He should revisit his own slogan http://www.homepest.com. The no pest promise and go away:
The date was 1/1/04. The date today is 2014. Curtis was a crook then and is a crook now. Mother Theresa ,he is not. You ,Sir, Curtis Loftis , C. Melvin Loftis are no Mother Theresa!
Win or lose, they will continue to post.
The truth needs to be told. In 1/20/04 a post from Serbia:Orthodox Church: This get stranger and stranger, this guy Loftis started an attack on Princess Linda on Christmas Eve (what a sad life, doesn’t the guy have anything better to do on that day). He accuses her of embezzlement but offers NO PROOF. He says the whole file will be published but it NEVER IS. He says the Crown Prince is implicated, which he obviously IS NOT . And it turns out the whole thing is over a beat up second hand car! It seems obvious that this guy Curtis Loftis is wired and mentally unstable. Oh yeh, the other funny thing, the guy pompously posts that this will be his last posting then replies to every posting after that. Mr Loftis go away you are a PARIAH. Just as a point of fact Slander and liable are criminal matters not civil , so try the courts in Serbia.
The date is 2004 and Curt does the same thing in 2014, no proof, no publications ,no nothing. Just accusations. Go away Curt. Sick then , sick now.
Pay to say, FITS. But I love it for I could not say what I truly feel about this asshole Curtis Loftis. Get all the money you can. Love it. Curtis Loftis is very sick and needs to go back to vermin control. The only job he can do , Ho, maybe not. His family kicked him out of it. Wonder if his mother gets attention from Reynolds Williams? Could his little penis handled the case or did they need bananas ? Muffy (guest) 8 :42 april 27
Very intelligent post.
Back at you! Muffy (guest) 8:42 april 27 Fits.
Nah, we do not get paid for we hate Curtis Loftis. We have proof and sworn documents and we will use them for Loftis needs to go to jail. We will not go MIA. We will be very active. Filing ethics violation, slanders, false accusations, lies… A very sick man from way back. A vile pervert …
Amen, amen, and AMEN! We will NEVER go away. We will be worse than any nightmare little Curt could EVER imagine.
You see, Curt, when people warned you to stop with all the false accusations, you really should’ve listened. It’s never good to tell les on honorable people. It just doesn’t work out well in the end. Especially when the accuser has a reputation like you. Not very becoming of an elected official. Win or lose, it’s FAR from over.
Oh …. Be well.
Any minute now, curt starts posting about homself
I’m not crazy and have no nasty comments – I simply am not crazy about Mr. Loftis. I am a native South Carolinian and love my state – hate what the Republican Party has done to my beloved state – and Mr. Loftis will not get my vote.
I understand what you are saying about the Republican PARTY, man. That said, Loftis is head and shoulders above “Republicans” such as Greg Ryberg or Haley. Just as there are some good Democrats out there, so are there some good Republicans, if you can find them.
Loftis has done a good job of making cruds like Ryberg and Haley, uncomfortable, especially with regard to pilfering and looting the State Retiree’s funds.
Yep, I agree. Loftis has lots of courage. I would not want those guys after me! They are meaner than hell and have lots of time to play on the computer.
Curtis has the courage to say one thing and do another. That’s all. Someone should FOIA what he has his two college boys doing for him at the office. All politics–paid for with public dollars. Like his TV ads.
I work in the Treasurer’s office. There is one intern for the 5 executive staffers. He stays busy and works hard doing Treasurer’s stuff. You should get your facts straight.
You are the treasurer. That’s why you work there. He stays busy doing your political work and the work of the staff that has left because of you.
Heres a straight fact for you – There is no way you are a “staffer” with the treasurer’s office. No one in that office other then Curtis’ hand picked few would defend that office, nor would they have anything positive to say about it or Curtis. What a joke. No one in that office is loyal to Curtis. The snakes he has put in high positions aren’t even loyal to him. Kissing up to the opponent, just in case. You know who you are.
Why are there five executive staffers?
Curtis is nothing more than a bullying coward who finally met his match. These people will stand their ground and stand up to him as no one ever has in the past. As usual, when he doesn’t get his way, Curtis hides behind anonymous aliases and posts childish, degrading comments. You started it, Curtis. Better be ready for whatever comes your way. These guys don’t play games.
“Loftis has done a good job of making cruds like Ryberg and Haley, uncomfortable . . .”
I hear you, CIC. I really hate to be so partisan politically but just have a hard time getting on board in SC if they have that damn R after their name . . ..
Well the Dems didn’t pursue the position of state treasurer for some reason. But at least there is an option on the ballot June 10th other than Curtis Loftis. I don’t care who it is, I’ll vote for him, just to vote against Curtis. The man is certifiably nuts. He has wasted so much taxpayer money and so much time of 5 separate entities, legislators, state workers, etc., on this wild goose chase of his, only to be proven WRONG on each account. For people to still believe his hype and vote for him shows their stupidity. He may end up winning the primary in the long run because the other guy’s name hasn’t been out there very long. But if Curtis should win, he won’t hold office long. There’s rumors of ethical and legal violations pending against him as well as slander charges. Word on the street is that he will probably be doing time in the pen. Will his handful of fans be loyal enough to visit him then? Doubtful. Enjoy the “high road” while you can, scumbag, you’re a train wreck waiting to happen.
Interesting how your and Lisa Davidson’s profiles won’t come up for view.
I have a few names: William Todd Ellis, Shery langford smith, Rodney Berry, Chris Smith, Carla Miller, Ora Cox, Martha Jean Stoudemire, Delinda Ridings and more.. Ladies and men. Curt is gay, a liar incompetent fake christian. Get a life and find a candidate that is worth your effort! He has been a fake at everything. A sorry feeling but Curt must be stopped. He likes to feel ball sacks at the Phoenix Bar in NY. and he likes young men with big bulge. And, he goes to our schools, get his picture taken with our sons and children. Curtis Loftis is a danger to our sons. He must go away . Period.
Interesting how your profile cannot be viewed…
You obviously don’t know Loftis and his childish ways.
SCBlues – 95% of these posts are from Curtis Loftis himself. He is the most childish, narcissitic person you will ever come across. His temper is beyond control. To make him lose his cool, you need only disagree with him. His posts here are weak attempts to get free press. He doesn’t realize that only a handful of people who wish to irritate him visit this site and comment on these articles.
Want to know about Loftis? Check the Thomas Parkman Report athttp://www.srasc.org/Default.a…
You are now quoting Thomas Parkman, non-lawyer and “male on male” sexual harasser? The guy removed from his job at USC? The guys slapped by the 4th District Court?
“…October 1995 Parkman had physically touched him against his will, made sexually suggestive comments to him, and referred to Ottervik (a female) and another (female) employee in the Music Library as “power hungry bitches” in his presence. (J.A. 428).”
From Parkman v University of South Carolina
http://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/Opinions/Unpublished/011596.U.pdf
The Google link!
Wow. That Parkman is somebody I want to trust. NOT.
What a joke. Faulty reasoning, nonsensical conclusions, biased beyond belief. This is an embarrassment to the investment commission.
Curtis, YOU ARE AN EMBARASSMENT TO YOUR OFFICE AND STAFF!
This is all crap. Curt, you seek to enhance your own credibility by tearing down that of others. You are garbage as a human being, Curt. You did this to so many people. You did this to Princess Linda in 1/10/04 but you still keep her name on the Saluda Charitable Foundation leading donors to believe she is a director! I think she is dead! Curtis you are busted and have been exposed as evil in 2004. You and your foundation, then and now. You did this to many others. Go away, please. I am sick of it! Go back to vermin control in South Carolina!
Now Loftis is spending his Sunday attacking some old guy who doesn’t like him. I wonder if this is before or after he puts up a ridiculous church post on Facebook? Loftis doesn’t even go to church people!
I like Loftis. I was a Converse man but liked what i saw after Loftis took over.
Says a lot about you. Obviously you have not been following the news over the past few years to see his frivolous allegations be proven wrong time and time agan: FIVE times to be exact. Nor have you witnessed his storming out of professional meetings, acting like a little child throwing temper tantrums, nor have you witnessed his dropping the “F” word or ranting and cursing God’s name. Oh that’s right, because if you only read his multiple facebook pages, he’s posting Bible verses and pictures of churches that he has found on the Internet. The man mistreats his staff, stirs up trouble and creates problems everywhere he goes. Wait til hes out of office, whether its this year or four more. Then you will hear what his staff truly thinks of him. They can’t speak now because they’ve been warned but the ones he ran off have no problem telling it like it is. They are working at various other agencies now and they don’t have any compliments for your guy. Do a search for his name on thestate.com and wistv.com and take a minute (hour) or two to read the reports.
Thetruecurtisloftis.com the pension fund created wealth in excess of 2.8 billion first quarter, if Loftis had made his changes, the fund would have lower fees but would also have 2,400,000,000 less dollars in it. What’s more important?
What a ridiculous and false statement.
Unsupported dismissals are usually on the “ridiculous and false” side of the equation.
JaxCrax AKA Loftis once stated, “I do know that you can go to page 81 of the SCRS FY2012 CAFR and take the indexes for exchanged traded issues, that is, the S&P 500 and Barclay’s Aggregate Bond Index, and that since 2008, a 50-50 mix of these two tops RSIC actual performance, which is presented on the same page.”
This previous comment is a wholesale endorsement of a passive 50/50 implementation, if not, then it wouldn’t be used for comparison. So, had they used his wisdom on the matter, the pension would have lost 2.4 billion dollars, a loss that would have set us back many many years.
Now, if I found out that 144 dollars in fees associated with my 28,000 account were being accounted for after the fact, would I hire a lawyer and a private investigator to look into why it was that it happened, and notify the newspapers about my corrupt broker? Certainly not, because its a number I can relate to and comprehend. Curtis located a common practice in the industry, exploited it, and crusaded like an absolute nutcase knowing everyone would freak out at the number. Thank you Curtis, for your ONLY contribution, slightly more accurate reporting. The bottom line is you are no conservative champion crusader, merely an amateur, and I’m sincerely afraid of your incompetence. The 144 million accounting change now shows that there was an additional .o125% in quarterly fees, big whoop. That is nothing compared to the 2.4 billion dollar blunder your fee averse investing would have cause our state.
So, when you vote, those reading this, ask yourself, “Is this man really a champion”. His grand contribution was .0125% in quarterly reporting, the rest was nothing but an absolutely psychotic episode that unduly persecuted good and great men who care for our state. It was all a show, and stemmed from the same emotions that cause you to push your wife down and deliver herpes news to her mother. This will never be over Curtis, never.
I never hold a man’s past against him, but will point to it when it accurately depicts behavior that has recently manifested. When men I greatly respect start getting pushed down in the parking lot of the news, I can certainly point to the incident with your wife as a valuable backdrop. When you took pleasure causing pain and turmoil in the lives of their family members, friends, and communities, I’m for damn sure justified in posting a link demonstrating you are an anti-christ and did something similar to her poor old mother. It’s not a smear campaign, more like a REALITY CHECK. This theme spans your entire life and can be demonstrated to explain why certain things have happened to men trying to keep you from ruining everything that Pension is designed to do. It’s a BATTLESHIP that steam rolled your 50/50 financial vision. May God have mercy on your soul when he separates the wheat from the tares. Turn to Christ sir, not Fitsnews.
What a simpleminded little person u must be to believe all that, or perhaps you are doing the bidding for another.
Hope u are getting paid well. What is the price for character assignation these days?
That’s Mr. Flo boy to you. I love a white flag comment when I see one. It affirms my only genre, non-fiction. It is free of charge, I make enough as an executioner running the local guillotine.
You’ll soon find out that price, bug man. You’ve done quite a lot of character assassination in your time. It’s going to catch up to you, and VERY soon.
This is the truth. The true curtisLoftis.com. No money there, just pure outrage . You, Curtis, must go back to the bugs of West Columbia. You are not smart, you are stupid, you are sick from way back. Cannot change stupid, cannot change sick and cannot buy intelligence. So go away. Delinda Ridings , help him. The tea party ladies need to help him since he is gay. he needs help. Cannot understand why you ladies like him so? Are you gay too? Sick of him
What a ridiculous and false name, curt
Any minute now…oops! just happened! Curt responds to himself using pseudonyms. Can’t imagine anything more immature, childish, infantile! Curt, just use your own name. We all know it’s you.
These people are insane. Over the top. Perhaps drunk. I have never seen anything like this.
Hi Karen, my comments are not insane, vote for Adams and restore integrity to the Treasurer. Don’t worship a personality
What’s insane is an elected official creating aliases, posting comments, and then responding to them himself. It’s like his multiple personalities are having conversations with each other.
Curtis Loftis has a lot of practice creating aliases, posting comments and responding to them himself. Joe Lines says on 1/20/04. “ I must stop this fraudster Curtis Loftis posting under different alias. This man is unwise and thinks that he can get away by creating another alias. He is wrong. Mr Loftis you chose a fight and you picked a fight you cannot win. Just go away and you will soon be forgotten Mr.Loftis. No one believes you, no one cares what you have to say.”
No one believes you in 2014! Accusations with NO Proof slanderous remarks on people making a difference in this State. As Joe lines says: JUST GO AWAY!
Curt, go to sleep. You are too stupid to know you are stupid. You have hurt so many people and have lost money for so many, but your friends got paid. How can you work with people, hope to have their confidence and trust? It will not be possible. You are toast, done. Period.
Read” the true Curtis Loftis. com” You need to be informed so you do not make a fool of yourself.
Yep. They are here and have been here for days. They keep coming, too. Apparently Loftis has pissed in some serious cornflakes. I wonder how many ISP’s go back to Nikki or Greg Ryberg’s computers.
Actually many of these comments are coming from individuals who don’t compromise. Many would trace back to people involved in banning Romney supporters, including Loftis, from Free Republic
Why do you hate Mormons so much? They are good God fearing people.
I do not hate Mormons, I just really prefer Christians, as should all Christians.
Gal. 1:9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

I have no hatred for mormons, and voted for Romney. However, as a Christian, I certainly prefer Christians as do most Christians.
“Butt though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. (Gal 1:8-9)

Evidently you think you have something here, remember, their bible says the same thing.
Sorry guy, but I edited the post to respond to your item, since They keep turning off my posting ability. Right now I’m trying to reach Eric Erickson
Sorry guy, I responded to your question by editing my post.
Edit: thanks will
Just know that all these posts are being captured by my phone before delete
Thanks will for hosting this roast
I had to edit my previous post to answer your question because they keep deleting my comments, sorry.
Yep. Loftis has pissed in some serious cornflakes and I think he pissed in Mount Merapi The “Fire Mountain” in Indonesia will send lava eruptions along with Curtis Loftis … away in the sky! Cannot wait! Smoke, steam! What a sight!
The crazies will never understand that nasty doesn’t sell. It’s part of being crazy.
Nasty has worked for you scumbag Curtis Loftis. Time to put a stop to that! You have left a trail going back years! We have found it and will we put you in jail. There will be no more tea party ladies in love with a vile homo with a disease that cannot be cured. How did you manage to have them kiss your butt? You have caused enough pain with your false accusations under multiples aliases. Will the real Curtis Loftis come forward? Of course not. You are a coward who lies and a fake christian, and a fake ….The list is long. You are incompetent beyond imagination and a threat to the people of SC. We would have been better off if Converse Chellis had been our treasurer. No doubt about that!
1/20/04 Serbia: Orthodox church. I pray to God that an investigation matter is held. of course the problem being there is little chance of civil law being held in Serbia. they make false claims, then build upon them. then they write pornographic letters. I will not have my lives work slandered by people like Curt Loftis. You are a foreigner here, so it begs the question to: WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM ?what is your problem? Why don’t you stop all this nonsense before you land yourself in more trouble, you have been exposed so give it a break .
Indeed, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, Curt. Curtis Loftis! We are very sick of you. You will never have the last word on this . Google Cetnik.
Serbia: Orthodox church
Bearcat 79, love the man, we drove school busses together. He is the real deal !!!
Tell him he can buy in that time for retirement purposes. He will lick at that state sugar block as much as he can.
Want to know about Loftis? Check the Thomas Parkman Report at http://www.srasc.org/Default.aspx?pageId=1212925
This is interesting, you are now quoting Thomas Parkman, non-lawyer and “male on male” sexual harasser? The guy removed from his job at USC? The guys slapped by the 4th District Court?
“October 1995 Parkman had physically touched him against his will, made sexually suggestive comments to him, and referred to Ottervik (a female( and another (female) employee in the Music Library as “power hungry bitches” in his presence. (J.A. 428).”
From Parkman v University of South Carolina. Google it and make your own decision on the veracity of this Parkman fellow.
Here is the Google link.

Loftis is spending his Sunday attacking a straw man because he doesn’t like criticism (or big words for that matter). Guess he has time since he hasn’t stepped into a church in years.
you Loftis haters are sickos. I see Loftis in church often. And when I am not there in present I have seen him on the TV version of the service. It takes a sick person to lie about someones religion.
Curty, stop lying. You literally never attend church. Ever. You’re too busy attacking your perceived opponents, commenting on blogs, or coming up with conspiracy theories on Sundays. No time for church. Only time for the Republic of CurtLand
In what church do you see Loftis? Next time, take a picture and show us.
Here is a Google loin to Mr. Parkman
http://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/Opinions/Unpublished/011596.U.pdf
Thanks for the google “loin” dumbass. Every time you misspell a word is a telltale sign it’s you curtis. Any one that’s had a text or email from you can confirm.
Anyone is one word, dumb ass. And dumb ass is two words, dumb ass.
Any one is two words. Anybody is one word. Dumb Ass!
What a wonderful picture of that fat bastard Sam Griswald. I worked with him at HSS when he got reported to the Feds. Sam, why don’t you tell us about that. And the consulting contract as side money. Oh my, Sam, been 15 years but it all comes back now, you crooked bastard.
https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem
I hear that house on Edisto Island that Sam has came from a “consultant” contract when he was at HHS. I can’t remember why Sam was forced out, something to do with some secretary and an out of town trip I think, but it doesn’t matter as he was well paid for his efforts. It is a very nice house, especially on 4th of July, Sammy Boy!
Most vile man in town! Curtis Loftis! Accusations, lies, false testimonies. And he wants you to believe that he is a christian , with his pictures of churches he post on face book! You cannot hide from GOD. May he have mercy on your soul.
I’ve heard Curtis Loftis spends lots of time in NY and Boston at certain bars. Sometimes he takes his PR guy with him. Usually they return not on speaking terms and the PR person resigns. How many you been through now, Curt? 3-4? High turnover job, no? What is it you want them to do? All this on the taxpayer’s dime, too. I think we need to weed out the corruption at the State Treasurer’s office and the biggest corruption there is is YOU, Curt. Do you realize that an elected official should not be spending so much time posting on Fits using pseudonyms? Disgusting! How do we elect jokes like this? Curt, you need professional help.
Curtis Loftis has had professional help for his mental illness but IT DID not help then and it does not work now. Multiple personalities, accusations and no facts, causing pain for people, even his own family. Please google ALT TALK ROYALTY, Serbia link 2004. Curt was busted and he and his Charitable foundation were exposed as evil. “The accusations by Mr.Loftis are completely unfounded. They are heinous and self motivated…Curtis Loftis needs to come clean. Hopefully, the attorney general’s office will soon seek an interview with Mr.Loftis.”1/19/04.
This behavior is the same in 2014. And he is an elected official! Vote him out! He is corrupt beyond repair and hopefully the attorney general will seek an interview with him very soon.
Whao, I want to go to work at HHS! Curtis ,you sure have an IQ that does not show up on the scale for you do not learn. Stupid is and stupid does. That is you, Curtis Loftis and your sweet mama tried to teach you proper language and behavior but failed totally. Too much bug juice, indeed! By the way, I heard it was 2 secretaries! Do you take your secretary any where or is it just your PR guy you take to Washington, Boston or NY?
Sam isn’t running for an elected position so who cares what he has done in his past. Its the bug man’s past we are concerned about. When you hold an elected position, you are held to higher standards. Bug man doesn’t measure up to those higher standards. Go away, bug man, just go away!
Oh, Curt. You are so obscene. No PROOF, Just ACCUSATIONS. We know your ways. Then and now. Fine behavior for an elected official.
Doctor Samuel Griswold for you CURT. He has a doctoral degree from Purdue University and you have a degree in bugs control! You have cost the State so much money, lost retirees more than 200 million from their trust fund! You are a liar, a fake christian, garbage as a human being. May GOD have mercy on you soul…
Gosh, Curtis, why so upset when somebody corrects your spelling and grammar? Maybe a little more education would correct your English. Why all the ad hominem attacks? Cheap game, Curt. Cheap game.
Hey, hey. The crooked bastard is you, Curtis Loftis. Your spelling mistakes and vulgar vocabulary is your trademark. Accusations with NO PROOF, Attacks with NO PROOF, vile temper, with proof venereal disease, with proof. You are garbage as a human being. GOD have mercy on your soul! A Fake christian exposed!
HSS? You worked with him at HSS? Really HSS? Where is that? And he had a consulting contract at HSS? Oh,no! Curtis Loftis , if you worked with him, you would know that HSS does not exist. Your stupidity does exist and is very apparent. I see your stupid face with bars in front of it!
Oh, Curtis. You are so transparent. You are trying to denigrate another person by challenging his veracity. Address the issues, not the one raising them. We would all feel so much more comfortable with this.
I agree. Ad hominem attacks are the cheapest and least courageous that can be made. When you cannot refute with logic or facts, attack the messenger. How childish!
Loftis has done a good job and I believe he should have another term.
Explain, please! Loftis is a liar who likes young men “with a huge bulge”. And he goes to our schools, takes pictures with our children.. Google alt talk royalty and read James Brown 1/18/04. Loftis was sick then and is sick now.
A good job of screwing retires out of a boatload of money. You better wake up HEW. Instead of posting here, get informed, do your own research if you think he’s done a good job. Better yet, ask his staff their opinion of the bug man from West Columbia. He’s trying to exterminate the ones on TERI. Just ask them! Give the office a call, please!
I would urge all Loftis supporters to visit thetruecurtisloftis.com, lay down your swords for this man, and join Brian Adams in restoring integrity to our Treasurer’s office. Why anyone from the tea party movement would blindly follow this man after being wrong time and time and time again is beyond comprehension. He is even being given a pass on his support for handouts. Let me show you how long ago this man started worrying about a potential primary… its called the “May 29th College529 Baby Handout” program, established over two years ago.
Where is my beloved tea party? Its MIA! How are you giving this man a pass on the BNY settlement where he fleeced our state for 180 million by bringing in a personal attorney who stuffed his pockets with 4 millions dollars of our money? COME ON GUYS!!! WAKE UP!!! Why are you overlooking the fact that a negative campaign is exactly what he ran! “I’ll buy my own car” “you aren’t transparent” etc etc. Come on guys, you are smarter and better than this. You may think I’m embellishing with this next statement, but he is a modern day version of Adolf Hitler. People became enamored with Hitler because of his ability to harness and channel their rage. With great promises to restore order and glory, he was cheered right through some of the most telling warning signs, and eventually garnered the love and affection of an entire nation. At this point it was too late to turn back, he brainwashed an entire people group, and carried out some of the most wicked travesties our world has ever known. Though seemingly futile, there were a few good men who conspired at all points to expose his evil deeds in an attempt to reveal his lunacy, to no avail. Brian Adams is one such individual, and endorsed by one of the only true boy scouts in the Senate, Kevin Bryant.
You fell in love with a fictional character, and continue to support an idea known as “Curtis Loftis”. However, it is only that, and idea. thetruecurtisloftis.com is a monster and a hack, among many other horrible things. He is not only a danger to retirees, but everyone in our state. I’m tired of saying I told you so. Vote this 2.4 billion dollar liablity out of office before he does more harm.
Somebody conduct a straw poll inside the Office of State Treasurer, and around the Capitol Complex.
Not sure how to take your joke, but I’m being serious here, not a joking matter. If you are a Loftis troll.. consider voting for Adams, I think he’s just what we need.
No, no, no. I think you mistook that comment. Loftis says he’s winning all the straw polls. I am quite certain the results would be drastically different if conducted around the State House. I work on the grounds and all I have heard is “anybody but Loftis”, “get that nut job out of there” and “send the bug guy back to west columbia” Nobody likes him. His lost most of his staff. Look at the turnover in that office. It’s at an all time high. Rediculous. There were a lot of great people there when he started and now they’ve bailed because of his anger, bullying and narcissistic behaviour. That office is falling apart and our AAA credit rating will be in jeopardy soon.
Didn’t get your point because I’m not an insider. Don’t even know what bug man means.
Point: I do not believe curtis Loftis would win a straw poll around columbia. As to the bug guy comment, apparently Loftis inherited part of his family’s exterminating business in west columbia. Rumor is that the family ran him out of the business because he got them in so many lawsuits, though he still claims part ownership like a silent partner. Lawsuits can be verified on the lexington and Richland county courthouse websites. It’s a pretty extensive list. Look under the names c. Melvin Loftis, Jr, Curtis Loftis, Jr., and Home Pest Control. I’m really not certain that Loftis has any involvement with home Pest Control, other than drawing a check off of the business. But people still refer to him as the bug guy, bug man, exterminator, whatever. Just repeating what I hear around the grounds. The words lunatic, crazy, narcissist, childish, temper, tantrums, and many more are usually in the conversation when Loftis’ name is mentioned. It’s a shame. We never heard that kind of stuff with prior treasurers, not even through the ravenel episode. Loftis brings more shame to our state than any other have. His parents must be so disappointed in him. I hear his other siblings are very successful. To be such a disgrace must be agonizing. Probably why he’s so angry all the time.
I hear ya. I actually had national tea party leaders phone out state tea party leaders to discuss his failed leadership. I was told by these individuals we have a new establishment in SC, not interested in facts. Evidently they do not care about ideological purity, but only desire to keep their people in power no matter how terrible. It’s been a real eye opener to witness instant cronyism from men with tea party influence. They should feel the crosshairs on their backs, especially if Curtis wins. There will be no escaping flagrant ideological compromises for obvious personal gain. Your “he’s been good for the taxpayer” excuses will not help. There is more to leadership than being good for taxes.
I would like to see their reaction when charges are filed against Curtis. Rumors are flying everywhere that he is going down no matter the outcome on June 10th. Personally, I hope he does. He should have bowed out while he had the chance. He took things a little to far, messed with the wrong crowd, and now it’s going to bite him in the hind side.
I realized he was a hoax no long after I voted for him, and an opportunistic one at that. While pragmatism has it’s place in a general election, there were MANY other candidates to endorse as the “tea party vote” besides Romney. Though I diligently supported efforts to see Romney take the general election, I never wanted him as my candidate. I have been waiting for this primary since September 2011 and was hoping tea party PAC money would make an example of this traitor. Loftis is an opportunistic hoax, and I’m still enraged he endorsed a flip flopping Mormon. Since that time I’ve watched him totally blow up. That is what happens to fakes.

You are correct and I will add this link from 1/18/04. Jeez-this CURTIS LOFTIS is a dum fuk! He starts an attack on Princess Linda and her charity, calls them scammers, then shits his pants when the truth comes out and we see his own charity THE SALUDA CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (Buckshit Organisation) for what it is. The rule, dick head is: don’t start a fire if you don’t want your ass burned (from what we hear, you like your ass having a good seeing too).
Curt was sick then, he has not changed his ways. He needs to be stopped. He has been busted and exposed as evil. He cannot be trusted! You are a fake,Curt.
Go Jersey. Everybody knows not to mess with the Jersey clan!
Cherry picking facts, telling half the story, skillfully presenting a distortion is the skill of just a few liars. It is hard to do.
But The Lord gave us the power of discernment. We know good from evil. You, sir, spew evil. So you and your cadre of liars should understand the voters are not rejecting Adams, they are rejecting you
Voters won’t be rejecting Adams, they will be voting for the nice, sweet gentlemen laughing gleefully with all those grandparents on TV. It is one thing to accuse, and another thing to prove. I prove. You do not need the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to interpret facts. Your depraved heart has worshiped an idol to the point you can’t recognize the truth. Oh Jerusalem Oh Jerusalem you were not willing.
Oh Curt.. The people of SC would be better off if Converse Chellis had been the treasurer for the last 4 years. We know good from evil, we have the power of discernment and the State retirees and employees would be better off if you had not been treasurer for the last 4 years. You are a fake christian, hiding behind your weird sense of religion. No doubt about it . The State of SC would be better off without you!
The hysteria posted here and directed at a SC constitutional officer could only originate in the neo-confederacy. Stuff like this is the source of much amusement in New England. We are, with a few exceptions, spared the lunacies of the hard GOP right. But the man these wackos direct their vitriole at must be a real political threat to someone in SC. Keep up the lunacy rebs, it helps to marginalize you as an economic challenge to the North.
Southern Indeed, “I cannot trust a man to control others, who cannot control himself” – Robert E. Lee
Curtis Loftis is a real threat to all people in SC. And the tea party ladies should find a better candidate for Loftis is a vile, gay man who loves guys with “a big bulge.” He has assault charges due to a temper beyond control. He goes to our school, is in contact with our young sons and daughters. He has hired 3 or 4 candy face PR but they resigned abruptly. Wonder why? Yes, he is a threat. How can he work with honest and caring people? He has lost all trust. He is a lunatic who cannot be trusted. Period.
1. The Adams Campaign and the Investment Commission people are truly desperate. The comments below are indicative of mean, dispirited people with a special interest in this race, who know they are going to lose 80% to 20%.
2. Any sane or normal person reading this thread would think Adams is a horrible person for orchestrating such rabid and negative comments and would never in a million years vote for him or believe anything said on adam’s behalf.
3. Loftis looks like a vilified saint. The over the top rhetoric makes him look innocent of everything! It makes me want to write him a campaign check!
Hardly, curt. YOUR desperation is shining. Always the freaking victim, aren’t you? Same old tactics, I’m the victim, everybody’s out to get me, the mafia men are coming, I need cameras and security, I’m so scared cause I’ve treated people badly and it might come back on me now. You’re nothing but a bully who tried to cower behind a chief of staff that you considered intimidating. Even he quit working for you. It’s amazing that everyone around you is fleeing from your little flock, isn’t it. Yet you somehow refuse to see that YOU are the problem, not everybody else. No public relations person because you bullied four or five of them so much they left. But it’s, “poor pitiful, Curtis, everybody is against him”. Suck it up. Now your insiders are turning on you. That’s right, your own staff is teaming up with your opposition. I doubt Grady ever had that problem, well maybe two of his staff, but you will figure those two out over the next couple of weeks. They’re kissing your behind now, but those tides will turn when you’re no longer in an elected position. Oh, and be careful hiding behind your religion, vilified saint, the Big Guy doesn’t like being mocked. Now there’s one you can’t bully and you sure can hide from. Lastly, if you really think that sane, normal people read this site, you’re loonies than anyone ever thought.
Brian Adams is not a mean dispirited man. He’s going to be a real citizens politician, not some instant crony.
Time to go, Curt ! and get lost for ever. Curt has lost the retirees of this state so much money, and attacked the reputation of many in vain, How can he work with people caring for the issues about health insurance, benefits and pension? We are old but we vote. Vote him out! This is the day he must leave office! He does not care about losing office , so vote him out. He needs to go back to the bug man of W. COLA.
Linda, Linda, listen honey, you should not be posting using your real name. Didn’t you learn anything from Curt while your lips were stuck to his ass? Never, never, NEVER, use your real name. Curt MIGHT just happen to look at this site sometime and then your job would be in jeopardy. You’ve used up all your resources so it would probably be a little difficult to find another job. Plus, you’re getting on up there in age now, can’t use your “assets” quite as well as you once could. Be careful what you say, you don’t want to end up sitting home in your rocking chair drawing your retirement money.
Looks like he ought to leave office then. He was having fundraisers back in 2011 so he was apparently worrying about the next election 3 years ago. You need a better set of friends. Or are you one of those “friends” who gets big payouts like Loftis’ attorney friend. I couldn’t for the life of me determine why anyone would publicly admit to being friends with such a lying scumbag. Now it’s making sense. Be careful. When you lay down with dogs you get fleas. You might be scratching, too, if you’re not careful.
I don’t foresee a “productive” second term either. I foresee Curtis’ face with prison bars in front of it.
Productive in what way? Curtis Loftis has done nothing for SC. Nothing. Ethics violations will be filed soon. The corruption in the treasurer’s office must be stopped. Violent temper, sexual perversion, moral and mental depravation .. Go away, Curt.
State Government is a cess pool when it comes to money. My day was a big wheel there in the 80’s and it was always his biggest challenge, and he later told me, his biggest disappointment. He never was able to affect the culture. He always said that everyone was afraid to be associated with anything bad. I don’t know much about Loftis because my interest is primarily federal. However, anyone that is fighting the establishment is pretty good in my book
But don’t you think that government everywhere is inefficient and crooked? Do you really think that SC government is any worse than anywhere else?
Not as bad a Jersey. So that is good.
Southern states are corrupt because the gene pool is so small. All that inbreeding is not good for morals and shit.
Yeah, actually way worse than Jersey. Nice try, though.
Curty Poo…is worst state leader in SC. Most hypocritical ever. State Ethics complaint to be filed day after election on him. He will not make it another 4 years. He may even go to jail according to an ex FBI agent.
Jason Miller, Loftis’ tv media guy last election, is now working against Loftis because Loftis is so hypocritical. Loftis hired Richard Quinn who just knocked off Miller’s good TV spots.
Scott Malyerck took the money, that is why the system was changed.
As I understand it, the ads produced when Converse Chellis was Treasurer used money from the state accounts. That money was used by Scott Malyerck to buy time and produce the ads. I understand this kickback to Scott Malyerck was about 100 grand. I do not know if Converse shared in that kickback money.
Nice try.
What’s with all the ad hominem attacks, Curtis? Don’t you know how that makes you look? Small. Real small. Address the facts and issues, it does not make you look better when you attack the character of others. It’s like holding up a mirror. You will see yourself most often.
Loftis doesn’t understand big words like ad hominem. You’re giving him entirely too much credit.
I have dealing with the Treasurer’s office. In the areas where I am involved they are excellent. By far the best government office that I work with. I don’t deal with Loftis but I know from staff he works long hours and is super dedicated.
That’s because Grady Patterson trained that staff to be respectful and helpful long before Loftis was ever heard of, and you apparently spoke with someone who actually does the work there, not Curtis or any of his new hires. You won’t get to talk to them. They only speak to people who will benefit them.
That’s because Jones is really Curtis.
Guess Loftis isn’t that busy this Saturday. Posting these narcissistic comments, disparaging his old friend Jason Miller, and living in a world of his own making. It’s sad… And everyone at his office is embarrassed by the comments he posts on here.
Loftis is at the USC ballgame, Does not appear to have a phone with him, at least not in his hand anyway. Seems to be having fun shaking hands and watching the game.
Hahahaha. Okay Curtis!!!
I’d like him better if his office didn’t sell the personal info of SC citizens to collection agencies.
That would be against the law. You can drop a dime and stop that practice in one day. Unless it is a complete lie.
I pray every day for my friends that are still stuck in that hell hole of an office with him. Sad to see over 30 staffers leave since his reign of terror began.
Thank you for the prayers! Any day now, or in the coming weeks, several more of us will be leaving the STO. Then we can “be well”.
Win or lose, changes be a comin’ to the office of curtland. Word is out that he hates the TERI plan and last July he released 3 employees who were participants, mainly so he could hire a new staff attorney who bailed from that office as soon as he saw the corruption. Once the election is over, the remaining employees on the TERI program are history. But don’t worry, those newly unemployed folks can go stand in line at one of the soup kitchens curtis volunteers at, and be one of his charity cases. It boosts his ego and makes him feel like his sins have been erased.You know, do something evil but then do a good deed and all is well. It doesn’t work that way, Curtis. How do you sleep at night?
So very true. He hates TERI and the TERI employees (except his chief of staff). Don’t count on him at the soup kitchens, he hasn’t donw any charity work since he got elected. You can see now how he used the charity for political purposes.
You are so correct! His charity The Saluda Charitable Foundation has been exposed as a tax evasion tool in 2003! The lying scum bag Loftis Curtis is an hypocrite of the worst kind! He is using his charity for political purposes and for tax evasion. Loftis thinks of himself first. Period. He must be stopped. Charity? My foot.. Wonder how much State and retirees money he has put in this Foundation?
Hmmm….probably about $2mil, thanks to a slick bank of New York contract and a personal attorney friend, who coincidentally happens to be involved in the same charitable foundation.
Was one of those staffers Scott Malyerck? The guy who made 110 Grand a year but did not work? That got kickbacks on the TV ads he wrote and produced? That Scott? The one that ran Converse’s campaign from the Treasurer’s office? The one where the Spartanburg Heard busted him for playing politics on State time. That Scott?
Naw brah. He was gone before you started Curtis. The 30 others were since you started. You know that!
Oh, let’s not talk about salaries. Curtis might get offended. Have you seen what he pays his new hires? Oh yes, it definately pays to be friends with the state treasurer. Instead of just posting some little response in retaliation, go check it out yourself. You can find the salary database on the state budget and control website under the transparency tab.
Internet trolls are not known for praying. Generally, they like porn, soap operas and making anonymous comments about people from the safety of their basements.
What’s wrong with porn and soap operas? Do you mean they like watching the local news? And why do they need the safety of their basement?
Loftis spends taxpayer time on his taxpayer computer looking at his taxpayer funded Facebook page ALL DAY LONG. Sometimes he takes a break to ask one of his staff to go get him food.
That is just silly.
A no-brainer for you to endorse Loftis? Are you kidding? If he is running for reelection on his record, you should keep in mind that based on all the unsubstantiated charges he has made for last 3+ years, we know he is not very smart but he is very crazy.
Saw Curty in the bathroom the other day and he smells worse than the prisoners. He was complaining about a reporter lady that’s mean to him and how no one was helping him. He farted and then stormed out.
I saw him at the taxpayer-funded breakfast he hosted the other day. His hands were old manish and clammy.
His fat hands look like surgical gloves stuffed with mayonnaise!! Don’t reach too far into the cookie jar or it’ll break (again)!!!
Want to know the real scoop on Loftis? Check the Thomas Parkman Report at http://www.srasc.org/Default.aspx?pageId=1212925
So, now You are now quoting Thomas Parkman, non-lawyer and “male on male” sexual harasser? The guy removed from his job at USC? The guys slapped by the 4th District Court?
“October 1995 Parkman had physically touched him against his will, made sexually suggestive comments to him, and referred to Ottervik (a female( and another (female) employee in the Music Library as “power hungry bitches” in his presence. (J.A. 428).”
This from Parkman v University of South Carolina. Google it.
http://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/Opinions/Unpublished/011596.U.pdf
to save you the trouble.
Curt knows about google. He used to regularly comment on the royal gossip sites. It’s literally the funniest shit I’ve ever read in my life!! “Google it” -Be Well ;)
Now Loftis is spending his Sunday attacking some old guy who doesn’t like him. I wonder if this is before or after he puts up a ridiculous church post on Facebook? Loftis doesn’t even go to church people!
Folks should have someone who understands such things explain to him the results of the Funston audit. (Lord knows the Treasurer doesn’t meet the criterion). In every major respect, the audit demonstrates that Loftis’s complaints about the Investment Commission are unfounded. His own press release at the time the audit was released could only “highlight” a couple of relatively minor changes recommended by the audit for which he wanted to take credit. There is a reason the five different entities have reviewed all or parts of Loftis’s allegations against the Commission and found them to be baseless. (So Folks can understand, I’ll say it specifically – it’s because they’re baseless in fact, or are grounded in ignorance of the technical nature of the business).
Curtis Loftis for Governor 2018.
Curtis, you need to get through this election first. Then in the next four years you’ll have plenty of time to alienate the remaining people who don’t hate you and you’ll never be governor. I repeat you’ll never be governor.
I agree. Curt will never be governor. He will be in jail. Such a sick man, incompetent and stupid. Tea party, do a better job choosing candidates! You have hurt the republican party! What a shame.
Its a little difficult to campaign from a prison cell. Someone remind curtis that the sign of availability in the big house is sagging pants.
I will make you a bet.
Reynolds Williams will be in jail before Loftis.
Oh Curt! You will never learn! You are so transparent ! I will take that bet!
Curt, you continue to amuse us. Does your dad blame himself for letting you sniff too many bug exterminating chemicals?
OMG!! Thank you! That’s the biggest laugh I’ve had in a long time! The ony thing Curtis Loftis will ever be governor of is his own fantasy world. I can envision the campaign signs now: Vote BUG MAN for Governor of Curtland. His campaign promises would be to use his super powerful canister of bug spray to exterminate the bad guys who are always following him around and out to get him; and I promise to do it all from my own personal curtmobile! No taxpayer money goes towards the upkeep of my curtmobile, but I will take your children’s college money to pay for gas.
You said he would not be elected in 2010. You were wrong.
You said he would win in 2014, and you are gonna be wrong.
You have an streak going. Keep babbling and you can extend it.
“You said he would win in 2014, and you are gonna be wrong.”
Everybody sure hopes so. GO HOME BUG MAN! NOBODY WANTS YOU HERE!!!
Thetruecurtisloftis.com the pension fund created wealth in excess of 2.8 billion first quarter, if Loftis had made his changes, the fund would have lower fees but would also have 2,400,000,000 less dollars in it. What’s more important?
I just wish the guy had some kind of investment sense. Totally inept but better than staying in all bonds. The problem in gov’t is pensions. Curt doesn’t have the skill set and probably never will– unfortunately the taxpayer will pay the price for his lack of ability to evaluate risk and suggest investing alternatives to ameliorate cost to taxpayer
OMG! Look at that picture! Doesn’t curtis look exactly like himself there? Pissed off at the world!!!
Loftis is a serious man. That is what 65% percent of the voters wanted. In fact, the majority of every county wanted that.
So, on Tuesday, I suspect every county will, once again, want Mr. Loftis. And I bet, hmm, perhaps 73% of the voters will select Mr. Loftis.
Keep the serious look, Mr. Lofts. Otherwise you might end up like these sacks of lying shit posting in the web 24/7.
Yes, we want a serious man, not a vile homo. Are the tea party people in love with a homo, a liar and sick man? Hope not
We don’t even care if he is homosexual. We do care that he’s a liar and sick. Very sick. Mentally unstable sick.
Interesting that you seem to know statistics on a race as small as the treasurer’s. oh, must you be curt? I think so! Not another alias? You are not a serious man. You are a sick man in need of some serious help. That picture looks like one scared, weak human being who is pissed off and getting ready to throw a temper tantrum.
What does this pissed off picture have to do with what voters did in an election 4 years ago? Oh, I get it. Curtis is pissed off that 65% of the voters that voted for him last time have figured him out now. You won’t win Columbia, where people know the truth. That’s for sure. Better be out there working those little rural communities and selling your lies to people who don’t keep up with current events; because the ones who do, know your true colors. You are nothing more than a demonic plague to SC. No self-respecting man could do the things you have. And do those nasty things while portraying yourself as a good, moral Christian?!?! You better get real, man. Do you even have a soul? I bet you dream of some awfully evil stuff at night. No wonder you are a paranoid freak.
I heard Loftis was seeing a hottie on the side. Any truth to these rumors?
Doubtful.
As treasurer Curt has: increased office spending by over 40%, appeared in TV ads with public funds, used the state plane to make TV appearances in charleston, hired 30 new employees, used taxpayer money to buy a lot of new furniture and carpets and cameras, used his staff to do political work, and behaved like an infant.
Me thinks you tell the truth. I’ve seen it me self.
Didn’t Curtis win by running ads hitting Converse Chellis for using taxpayer dollars to run ads and get chauffeured around in a Tahoe? Funny, seeing how he is now doing the SAME FUCKING THING!
You hit it T Rav. The Treasurer’s Office was much better off when you were there.
I’ve said all along that FITS was only posting glowing stories about Loftis because FITS is on the Loftis payroll. Once again, this article proves my point. I bet if I started digging, maybe did some FOIA, I could find stuff about the Loftis/Folks connection. In reading about Loftis, how can Folks not discern Loftis has cost the taxpayers money, made friends wealthy in the process, and has jeopardized state retirement funds? I wasn’t against Loftis until I started reading this site. It’s croneyism at best, yet most likely fraudulent and breaks ethics/campaign laws. From this thread, it only appears Loftis cares about the 529 (and commercials) and the retirement fund. Is that all he does? Wasn’t there a WIS reporter that did an expose’ on Loftis not collecting money from counties/towns? Dang, I hate doing research on my day off!
Gees. Another post of wild opinions and no facts. Must be that prisoner again. All that darned time of his hands.
So the bipolar bug man of west columbia got an endorsement after all, even though he doesn’t actively seek endorsements (translation: nobody will endorse him). Oh except FITS. It’s ok. Most all of his associates have a sellout price.
It’s a direct indication of horrible leadership when an elected official’s staff is campaigning against him. One would expect an agency head to have the respect and loyalty of his employees. However, when said agency head flies off the handle, throws things, curses, lies, and acts like a spoiled child, one can certainly understand why those employees wish him gone. No one should have to be endure such a hostile work environment. Some have left already, and of those remaining, many are currently seeking employment elsewhere.
I love all the unsupported allegations. I keep looking at the newspaper for his staff to buy an ad or something. But nothing. So many outrageous statements and no facts. Hmmm, is the poster a prisoner with time on his hands?
Well that sure makes sense. I wondered what the hell prisoners did all day long. Now I know. They post on FITS. Now we can all understand all those clever comebacks to Curtis’ dumb posts. Prisoners 120, Curtis 0. Sorry, you lose again exterminator man.
Nah, the poster’s not a prisoner, the poster knows what’s going on. Why do you threaten your staff Curtis? Why are so many of them leaving? That information is public and can easily be obtained. Once they are out of your office, they can sing like a songbird and there’s NOTHING you can do about it. And they’re singing, Curtis. Yes, they are. Doesn’t it just piss you off even more to know you can’t fire them if they don’t work for you! LOL I’m ROTFLMAO right now!
“No-brainer.” Clearly – endorser and endorsee.
What is the over/under that M326 and some of these other idiots are somehow making money off of Reynolds and his corrupt crew? Our state has been plagued with corruption for years and it’s downright embarassing. Curtis is actually trying to fight back against this. I for one am proud of Curtis and will definately be supporting him next week.
HEY CURT, you should have taken my advice 1/10/04. that cover ups always lead to slip ups with your split personality BS and your multiple posts. Your spelling gives you away= Insure or ensure? definately? really, Curt , your alter-egos are more than transparent. Freaky in 2004, freaky in 2014
Nah brah curt done pissed off 2 many ppl dey happy to dis him fo free.
Please, read THE REALCURTISLOFTIS.com. The idiot is Curt. Corruption for him and his friends. Taking money from the trust fund of retirees. Using the Saluda charitable foundation for tax evasion…He must go away to the big house.
Anyone that’ll would stoop this low is, by definition, low.
Truth sure does hurt, don’t it curt? If that website isn’t true, prove it. Plain and simple.
Keep up the fight Curtis! Proud to have you standing up for us little people!
You are not a state employee or retiree! Curtis Loftis is incompetent and very stupid! He is not standing for the little people but for Curtis Loftis. Period. And he is being exposed for what he is.. mentally unstable, very sick and dangerous. Violent temper, false christian… Name one thing that he has done in the last 4 years, for the little people or the people of SC. Nothing, zero..
I know curtis. Like him. Appreciate his battles against corrupt bastards and their flunkies. I trust him a lot more than Reynolds Williams, the man the Ethics Commission said created an “appearance of impropriety,” which is the step before an indictment.
Just my two cents worth.
Ha, ha. That Curtis is such a damn fool!
Yes. Yes, he is.
Your two cents aren’t worth tw cents, curt. Haven’t you realized by now that EVERYONE has figured you out with your uncanny, unwitting, stupid comments? Let me say it so you can understand:
We know its YOU posting all these silly comments so go take your meds like a good little boy and go to sleep. Try not to dream about that jail cell too much.
Standing up for us little people? Did you get a cut out of that $2mil attorney fee? No? Oh that’s right – Curtis stands up for his friends! GO AWAY CURTIS!
I see Curtis running banners quoting Spurgeon on discernment, on matters concerning Christianity this is true, let’s see how the prince of preachers would have discerned…
“We cannot prefer Mormonism, we will not, and we shall not.” – Spurgeon
The “tea party endorsement” of CL wasn’t likely the pragmatic strategy of a new political visionary, it was probably sold to the highest bidder. Remember when Curtis gave HIMSELF a fundraiser to “promote Romney”? Yes, I remember now, it was a fundraiser for his 2014 campaign?
Could it be that Adams digging into campaign finances and locating large sums of debt proves this? I wonder if any of his personal attorney’s score against BNY went to the great cause of driving his own car paying down enormous debt.
Yes, I saw some of that Romney material floating around the Wade Hampton Building. Was Curtis campaigning for Romney on SC taxpayers’ dimes? Oh, say it ain’t so! Can’t deny it. Many witnesses to that little fiasco.
No elected officials should be able to have a bumper sticker on his car, even his private car. Loftis uses his his bumper stickers to force his ideas on us. He is like Hitler or Mussolini. If I could get away with it I would take the sticker of his car.
We should report Loftis to the FBI. I mean, if he had a bumper sticker or a pamphlet he should be put in jail!
Especially since he was campaigning for Romney on your dime. Hope you like the screwing your getting. Does your pocketbook/wallet feel a little light these days?
Nah. There’s PLENTY of other reasons he needs to be reported to the FBI. But while everything is coming out, maybe someone just happens to have some pictures of all that campaign material going in and out of the Hampton Building. More than just a bumper sticker and a pamphlet. Cell phones are wonderful little devices, you know. Bug man wants to treat state government like a business. It’s not a private business. It’s government.
Omg Mary – you are curt too!
I get it. You are a teenager. A stunted one at that. That explains the low IQ, inability to think for oneself, needing a liar and a repaid like Reynolds Williams to give you opinions and a reason for living. You should drop Williams and stop being jealous of Loftis. You can do it. Surely you can!
Edd…I mean, Curt, stop flattering yourself. Nobody is jealous of you. Who would be jealous of such a pathetic loser bug guy who pouts and throws tantrums like a little child? You are a disgrace to your family and a disgrace to the state. Resign already, and GO AWAY! You make everyone sick!
Mr. Loftis, you have truly underestimated my might. A storm of biblical proportion is brewing. A storm so violent you will wish you had never been born. The time for jest is over, and I shall destroy you with the truth, one way or another. Be safe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZZWtKSjB0Q#t=22
our treasurer endorsed the washington establishments pick, and you guys think he is some Ted Cruz, Brian Adams would have endorsed in line with the grassroots groundswell that put him in office… he doesn’t compromise
Brian Adams will pick whoever Reynolds Williams tells him to pick.
I believe someone hates Mormons. Maybe they confuse Muslims and Mormons. In any event such bigotry is not flattering. But then again, neither is stupidity.
Nor is racism, curt. I know your mama taught you better.
I wouldn’t vote for Curtis if my life depended on it. As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t waste my time to spit on him if he was on fire.
I would shit on him. I would put my buggers on him and laugh. That mormon loving scum is the Antichrist and he must be stopped at all cost. We must ban together and run him out of government and out of town. Christians simply can’t be trusted.
Me either. I don’t make a habit out of voting for crooked, corrupt hypocrites. Most times you don’t find out until they are already elected. In this case we know what he’s all about due to the past four years. Why would anyone with a brain vote for someone as paranoid and nutty as Curtis Loftis? Does anyone really still believe his allegations after 4 separate agencies and an audit firm (from another state) have proven him wrong? Even if “the good ole boys” system was in play, do you really think the out-of-state guys would go along with it and put their reputations on the line? For what reason? But we do know that Curtis Loftis would put his reputation on the line for a $2 mil payout to a personal friend. Changing the terms of a legal contract without the consultation of his peers at the investment commission only proves that he thinks he is above the law. What other ridiculous decisions will he make on his own if re-elected? And anyone who watches the news has witnessed him storming out of meetings, claiming he wasn’t allowed to speak. When in reality he was told to wait his turn to speak. I have never seen such erratic behavior from a constitutional officer. Curtis Loftis is an embarrassment to our state, and a danger to state employees/retirees’ futures.
Is this French? I mean, otherwise it makes no sense. No logic, not reasonable, opinion stated as fact, much opinion and little fact.
Oh, wait, my wife tells me this is the “loser’s code.” She tells me this is what liars do when they realize no one believes them. Evidently, this happens a lot to 3rd graders.
Curtis Loftis, you are crazy. ” Vote him out” make perfect sense! We have seen you storm out of meetings.. do your crap. An elected official, the state treasurer posting on this site. What a disgrace. We need to get rid of you. Sure wish we had Converse Chellis. This stupid, insane and vile story must come to an end. Curt, you are not well. Are you a third grader? Very low IQ, I know. You are an embarrassment to our state. and a danger to state employees/retirees’s futures.
Sorry, curt – I’m not sure what the native language of curtland is. But obviously “vote him out!” struck a nerve that you clearly understood. Did somebody’s little superhero feelings get crushed. Man up and do the right thing. Resign while you still have some dignity – uh, too late – just resign already.
Me thinks Curtis Loftis is drunk! You should not post so late at night Curt. You make no sense!
Pierre Dupont? Is that Reynolds Williams’s name for his drag performance? Man, cant wait to see that old had in beige chiffon and high hills!
Me thinks you are very drunk Curtis Loftis! Cannot spell as usual. Really, old had! high hills!. Get a dictionary and go back to school. Ho, you are too stupid ! We know you and do not believe you. You have lost all credibility and it will be impossible for you to be effective. Who wants to work with you, be in the same room with you. You will go to jail!
Will and Curt, it’s been nice chatting
Welcome to the jungle
http://youtu.be/o1tj2zJ2Wvg
Curtis, big things (ha) on Saturday at the Phoenix (http://phoenixbarnyc.com/saturday/). Come on up. We had fun last time. Your turn to buy.
Lovely. It is always fun to see Sam Griswold and Reynolds Williams in the corner, doing what randy old dudes with Viagra do. Hopefully Ed, Sissy Boi Giobee will be there too. You gotta love his trademark red heals and matching lipstick!
What a clever response. I bet that hurt someone really bad. GO AWAY CURTIS!
Reynolds, come on, lets play. Make sure to bring your sling!
Melvin, take your meds and go to sleep. Your responses are becoming more lame by the minute.
BRIAN ADAMS FOR STATE TREASURER 2014!!! GO VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ON TUESDAY, JUNE 10th!!!!!!
You mean that English singer is running for Treasurer? Great! I thought you were talking about this puppet of the Investment Commission from Spartanburg that Reynolds Williams had dragged in. Cool, I like has been rockers!
Nice try, Melvin. Take a look at Adams’ campaign disclosure. Do you see contributions from members of the investment commission, or any other big contributions? That’s right, theres none there. but you also won’t see over $700,000 debt like you have accumulated. So tell me again who you thnk the smarter guy is? You’re such an immature loser, Mel.
Curtis talked about this on the radio. The loan is completely collateralized by cash, in fact Curt’s cash. But you know that, you just choose to lie. How is that working for you?
Oh its working about the same as you deducting interest from a principal balance, you incompetent chemical sniffer. Stop inhaling the bug juice.
Having checked thoroughly, I can find no customers for this company “owned” by Mr. Adams, No business license. No county access license for home business. Nothing. No insurance. Is it just a ruse?
You may wish to go to Mr. Adam’s business website, http://www.presilientgroup.com.
I did. Not a word about customers. Pictures of buildings that don’t belong to him. Just a shell website.
How impressive. Having thoroughly checked, I found so many lawsuits in Richland and Lexington Cunties that i lost count, all under the names of C. Melvin Loftis, Jr., Curtis Loftis, Jr., Home Pest Control, CML Properites. That’s right, complaint after complaint against the bullying, lying, cheating state treasurer. I also found his close personal friend and attorney is involved his Saluda charitable foundation. I also found a deceased woman listed on the board. Is this charitable foundation just a ruse? Must be nice to use a charitable foundation as a cover for your extravagant vacations and money laundering. Oh, the shameful list goes on and on. Disgusting and disgraceful.
Golly gee. No defense of Mr. Adams. Surprise surprise.
Keep on lying. And crying when dem polls come in tonight.
No crying here. No matter the election results, I’ll be laughing at what’s still coming for Melvin, the exterminator man.
Looks like the General Assembly has some serious questions about the so called great deal personally negotiated with the Bank of New York Mellon, 1 Wall Street, New York, New York. It appears to some observers that while pounding on the table to get a good deal for his personal attorney and close friend, the Treasurer may have violated his fiduciary responsibility to the members of the Retirement System. The following Proviso easily passed the Senate and the House:
105.13. (PEBA: Litigation Review) The Public Employee Benefit Authority shall submit to the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, no later than December 1, 2014, a report on the settlement between the State of South Carolina and the Bank of New York Mellon that provides review and comment upon the benefits of the settlement for the employees and retirees of South Carolina. In conducting the review and preparing the report, the Public Employee Benefit Authority may use appropriated or available funds as necessary to retain independent expert assistance, including legal counsel of its choosing.
The last sentence about retaining expert assistance and legal counsel should be particularly troubling to the Treasurer.
I have friends all over state government. Here is what I hear.
I hear the Treasurer is pleased at this. It gives him the opportunity it be heard in a format that allows people that lie to be prosecuted and or disbarred. The problem the Treasurer has had in the last that these so called investigation are just conversations. When people are sworn, and lawyers have to attest to truthfulness, all will seem quiet different.
I hear the investment staff, many of which hate Reynolds Williams and were not even here when the real loos occurred, fear that the negligence of the Investment Commission will be shown. The loss of $200 million will be shown to be by the Investment Commission and this will reflect poorly on them.
Maybe your friends should read this Proviso more clearly. It focuses on the BONY Mellon settlement and how that settlement benefits members of the retirement trust fund. Treasurer Loftis took full control of that settlement so must now take full responsibility for the results.
Mr. Loftis,
I may have jumped to conclusions concerning your character, and must apologize for taking part in the personal attacks leveraged by the website. I felt justified in doing so, especially after I was paid a visit by some scary looking guys the day before my last post. The truth is I don’t know you and should not have allowed a difference in opinion to trump the “anything nice to say” adage. I hope you will forgive me.
Curtis, you really are certifiably crazy. Seek professional help.
Another one bit the dust. Curtis’s $65,0000+/year secretary jumped ship on him last week. He just can’t keep them over there.
