Two things:
Is Ballentine’s nickname “head” because he has an unusually large cranium or because that what he was getting under his table when sharing space with Mrs. Haley?
Second, good for Tim Scott for scoring a fairly hot #. I wonder if it’s true or spin/damage control after the last round of comments about his sexuality.
I haven’t heard that one. What, is he another Lindsey Graham?
That was the suggestion in the comment section of the last write up on him….
Apparently he was a virgin almost as long as “AC Green” as one commenter put it…lol…and I guess he used to talk about being so quite a bit into his 30’s.
I’m not judging the man on that basis…I just think that if he really is a closet homosexual that it’s sad and he should come out. If he’s willing to lie about that, what wouldn’t he lie about?
At the same time it would really be none of our business if he wasn’t a public official. I suppose I could let a “my sexuality isn’t your business” comment at least go. I’m more concerned about his potential for duplicity stemming from a desire for power, libido dominandi.(in other words, GOPers probably wouldn’t re-elect him so he might lie)
The reality is that 95% of pols probably fail that test anyway…but it needs to be pointed out.
Zee Patel is one hot woman, in my opinion. Not just a fairly hot one.
Heard Ballentine got the nickname “Head” from Marky Mark.
Nikki just thought it meant he wanted head and obliged when they were desk mates. All that noise coming from her office was them working on more than that legislation that got everyone kicked off the ballot. Right E!
Nathan’s house is the one next door. Good try though.
Nope. That is Head’s house. I’m sure he’s all appreciative for your attempt at cover, you and the other three people that call him your friend.
Pretty sure they toilet papered Head Ballentine’s house because he is a useless piece of shit!
In addition to his backing of I-73, a problem I see with Scott is having Walter Whetsel in his employ. Put these two facts together and they tell you he is without principle, and that as a Senator he would be – along with Tom Rice on the House side – a vote for the strictly crony capitalist interests of the “Myrtle Beach Mafia”. He’s not from this district, you say? No he’s not. But in the Senate, that doesn’t matter. With Soott, more money wasted on I-73 and more use of eminent domain to steal the property of American citizens to make it happen will be much more likely to come about.
Meant to say he is not from the geographical region of the 7th.
Why not Darla Moore for Senator. If anyone could put a face on high taxes and fiscal cliff’s, she could.
“If Haley nominates Scott, she is not nominating another Jim DeMint.”
All politicians hand out or support government money give-aways.
I know FITS worships Sen DeMint…..but what is the excuse for refusing to acknowledge Sen DeMint has helped ensure over $1 Billion in New Market Tax Credits (a.k.a., stimulus money)has gone to Greenville/Spartanburg in the last 10 years.
The New Markets Tax Credit Program (NMTC Program) was established by Congress in 2000 to spur new or increased investments into operating businesses and real estate projects located in low-income communities. Nearly the entire amount of stimulus money intended for South Carolina’s rural areas has been spent in Greenville/Spartanburg.

Sen DeMint has given the grand opening remarks at several of these renovated and newly built areas.
The hypocrisy stinks to high heaven………and FITS the lapdog is willing to expose every one else in SC who has used NMTCs except Sen DeMint.
He is NOT the conservative he makes himself out to be….
Why isn’t Fitsnews not mentioning Mark Sanford as possible candidate for Senator and Jenny to replace Tim’s position. They been on all the news over the weekend. This blog seems to avoid mentioning them.
“FITS: U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney. For reasons we will be relating in a post coming later today.”
How can you countenance Mulvaney when you curse the so-called Lexington County Mafia.
He took Lancaster County to the cleaners, failed to pay his bills, defrauded their county council.
Do the words St. Katherine’s and Edenmoor ring a bell.
In addition, does he even LIVE in South Carolina?
Of course, he would be an excellent replacement for DeMented. Simply exchange one criminal with another.
