“So … which of Sanford’s opponents is behind the video?”

Does it matter?

Douche-a-Hue started a Twitter page for Larry Martin called Red Rex Rice to bash away at Larry’s opponent in the 2012 Senate election. Lets be honest here. Scumbaggery comes back around, and both Sandy and Douche-a-Hue have earned a bag full with their dick behavior.

Let’s just call it quan!

Has anybody noticed that CHRIS SULLIVAN is running for something again? It’s time for FITS readers to rekindle the STOP CHRIS SULLIVAN email storm that ended his bid for state senate last year. This time, he’s running for the north Greenville House seat that was vacated by John Corbin.
http://thesouthcarolinaconservative.com/2013/01/23/burns-and-sullivan-headed-for-runoff-in-house-district-17a/
The run-off will be held on Feb. 5. His opponent is Mike Burns, who only missed the 50% line in the first ballot by 8 votes. Every little effort by FITS readers could make the difference.
In case you forgot, Sullivan is a Jake Knotts brand RINO. After Sullivan orchestrated the infamous Confederate Flag Rally in Jan. 2000, he then secretly orchestrated the “compromise” to take down the flag. He called Knotts one of the “Magnificent Seven”, since he was 1 of only 7 senators to vote to “keep it flying” (along with Larry Grooms and Bill Branton). In reality, Sullivan was rolling in the pork doled out to Quinndom. Since then, Sullivan has pandered to Confederate flag supporters, telling them that “Jakie Knotts is the only friend we’ve got! We have to support him no matter what!”
If the voters of north Greenville had any idea about how big a Columbia insider career political dealer Sullivan is, he wouldn’t have even come close to the Feb. 5 run-off. People need to know. Spread the word!
PS – We really don’t need another SC elected official facing weird charges like the ones that are about to hit Sullivan for child molestation during his involvement with the Children of the Confederacy organization.

When I started working for First Impressions, Sullivan used to brag to all of the incoming RINO Quinn employees about how the whole deal went down right at his desk with Richard Quinn, Glenn McConnell, and someone from the Chamber of Commerce. The CoC got to take down the flag and remove the one from the senate chambers. Quinndom got some ungodly amount of money ($50M+?) for the Hunley Commission, which came mostly from Chinese interests in Charleston. This also had something to do with Richard’s relationship with Sanford, Tumpy Campbell, and Lindsay Graham, but the details were unclear.
Publically, Sullivan called it a “compromise” and stressed that the flag would stand by the monument and state workers would have the option of taking off the 2nd Monday in May for “Confederate Memorial Day”. None of the “movement” accepted that. Confederate flag supporters wanted their official Sons of Confederate Veterans National Spokesman Charles Lunsford to hold a leadership position. When it became clear that the real “compromise” was for backdoor pork quietly flowing out to the Hunley Commission, it was too late. The “movement” had already been hijacked. McConnell and Sullivan took over as Chair and Vice Chair of the Commission after only a feeble attempt by Lunsford to gain appointment. Quinndom went on to destroy Southern Partisan magazine, which had previously been a serious journal—sort of like a hard core Southern version of the old National Review before it was riddled with moderates.
I hear that the criminal charges coming against Sullivan are pretty serious. Social media “movement” people are calling Sullivan the “Sandusky of the SCV” and the current “Commander-in-Chief” Michael Givens (Sullivan’s Hollywood buddy) is being called the “Joe Paterno of the SCV”.
Sullivan (especially) and Givens were also involved with their best buddy from Anderson, Ron Wilson, in the Confederate silver scam. A Secret Service agent on the case told me they were “exploring” their role in that whole thing, but who knows if anything will come of that.

“shot of he and Maria walking”

I think it is correct this way but can’t quite figure out why.

Normally it would be possessive (“his”) before a gerund, but here a gerund clause (phrase?) acts as an object.

Quantum physics is in ways simpler than Englash grammar.

Only his family need forgive him.

Could you trust him again is the question, not that some ever trusted him, and warned me accordingly, which I ignored to my peril.

How does he speak to the low country on this issue.

There will be some entertaining posturing regarding the women, she has to come off as not a home wrecker, while still being hot.

And Will, does Jenny shut up, or does she wait for just the right time and then come forward and say that “my husband is a fucking small penis dumb fuck”.

Regardless it will be great cinema.

We are seeing just the beginning of Shameless Sanford, returning candidate.

Twist Jenny’s arm or use some leverage to give some sort of lukewarm endorsement? Have people twitter Chapur sitings near his venues so people will show for his rallies? Afterall, the line-up thus far is none too sterling.

At my age I should no longer be surprised at the brazen shamelessness of ambition and self-obsession. This man has children who may still live in SC. Why would he expose them to the ridicule and embarrassment that will follow in the wake of his campaign for re-election to congress? I long for the days when people still possessed some concept of personal honor. In those days, if you had been involved in such a reprehensible episode, you kept out of the public eye. Has he no dignity? What if his kids see this clip?

In his mind does he thinks he is teaching them something about character or courage ie., when you fall off a horse get back on it? Or, this is his life’s work… or Chapur is encouraging him to follow his bliss, or his so called friends are encouraging him to get it out of his system and then move on, OR most mind-numbing of all, he is doing G-d’s work???
He doesn’t seem to get discretion is the better part of valor.

You need to read Jeff Sharlet’s “The Family” and/or “C Street” to get a handle on the arrogant mentality that infects scores of our Congressmen, particularlyy this one. “C Street” has a long section on Sanford and how The Family influenced his career and actions.

How you could read this and say nasty things about the Luv Guv? The man is a poet.

“I’am (sic) reading your last two mails sitting outside with a great seaview here in Ilhabela, a beautiful island near Sao Paulo. Have been thinking of you while watching the beautiful blue sea (a) great part of my day and remembering with a great smile on my face, the time we had spent together. As I told you before, you brought happiness and love to my life and (I) will take you forever in my heart. I wasn’t aware till we met last week, the strong feelings I had for you, and believe me, I haven’t felt this since I was in my teen ages, when afterwards I got married. I do love you, I can feel it in my heart, and although I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to meet again this has been the best that has happened to me in a long time You made me realized (sic) how you feel when you realy (sic) love somebody and how much you want to be beside the beloved. Last Friday I would had stayed embrassing (sic) and kissing you forever.”

You’re right, it was her.

Here’s the Guv (man, these are hilarious):

“Sweetest,
It was indeed a long day. I am most jealous of your salad under the palm tree…”

Here’s another section that proves just how little Mark spent doing actual governoring:

“One, tomorrow leave at 5 am for New York and meetings. Will think about you on its streets and wish I was going to be there later in the month when you are there. Tomorrow night back to Philadelphia for the start of the National Governor’s Conference through the weekend. Back to Columbia for Tuesday and then on Wednesday, as I think I had told you, taking the family to China, Tibet, Nepal, India, Thailand and then back through Hong Kong on world wind tour. Few days home then to Bahamas for 5 days on a friends boat for the last break of the summer. The following weekend have been asked to spend it out in Aspen, Colorado with McCain — which has kicked up the whole VP talk all over again in the press back home.”

Did the guy ever work?

As to who produced, (read funded), the video – follow who has the money and is already spending it profusely. The problem with Sanford is he will be seen as the face of the Lowcountry and SC coast by the rest of the country. I am waiting for the run-off and hoping for someone we can be proud of and not ashamed of first; and second, who will be a true fiscal conservative, a social libertarian, and a security conservative who makes sure we are well-defended without being shaken down by defense contractors and shell-gamed by the DOD.
