I really like the picture of an elephant wallowing in the mud. It just speaks volumes of the state of the GOP at the national, state and local levels. Lexington, Charleston and Horry Counties immediately come to mind in conjunction with recent stories on this website. Yet, next month we will dutifully go to the polls and cast our ballots and prove just what the pundits say: ‘South Carolina is as red as a baboons ass,’. Now, cue Big T to come here and say what a socialist I am. No one is so blind as he that refuses to see. God forgive us, for we know not what we do………

The State GOP got dealt a terrible hand in all of this. Most of the legal fees were spent defending the county parties.

Where are the Governor and other party leaders in helping? No where to be seen- because the Legislature and Governor were complicit in this mess from the start – by passing a law without thinking it through. I don’t see how Chad Connelly sleeps at night dealing with that Columbia circus.

The SC Supreme Court overlooked its Anderson and Florence decisions to allow Paul Thurmond, a corrupt politician who didn’t satisfy the Court’s criteria, to “win” the republican primary for senate district 41.

In a 3-2 decision, Toal wrote the majority opinion.

She’s as ethically bankrupt as the elephant in that picture is muddy.

And Thurmond’s campaign theme? “Democrats conspired against me.”

Vote Tinkler.

So Democrats do believe in volunteerism? Yea, K-Flo could have done just as well if not better with the SC Supremes as K-Hall did.

T I’m no Obama fan but that is the cumulative debt of our government. Obama hasn’t helped it but come on man. Plus Republicans are responsible for roughly half of that debt….

Mr. BigT, Do your neurons and synapses still contain memory of the phrase “weapons of mass destruction”, “aluminum centrifuge tubes”, and “Iraq” all inside your head?

Bush, Cheney and George Tennant knew it was bad intelligence, but fed it to Colin Powell so well that he went to the UN and got a resolution for all of us to go to war.

The longest, costliest war in our history.

Cheney estimated in 2001 that the cost would be “Something under $50 billion.”

Cost to date: $3 trillion.

So yes, let’s blame Obama for getting us out of the war.

This is why it’s called “Bush’s War.”

….and Romney pledges to increase military spending by at least $2 trillion and idiots like Biggie get their panties all bunched up over 90 million? Hint: That’s a drop in the bucket, T

My bad, it was $527 million that taxpayers lent to the company, but either way, you have no arguement since 90 Billion is just a flat out lie. Look it up…nevermind, I briefly forgot who the fuck I was talking to.

You would have to be an imbecile to believe or say it’s true. God, how I love using your own words against you…

I don’t suppose BigT has noticed that Obama took office with a fiscal year already 4 months gone, and the annual deficit ended up being $1.41 trillion.

The next two years the annual deficit decreased to about $1.3 trillion, and the fiscal year just ended was down to $1.1 trillion.

Most reasonable observers would call that progress.

Easy solution to this problem: cut overhead. If you’re not working and pulling your own weight, get off the payroll.
