FITS Quote: “engaging in open jihad against” Bernstein…

While FITS takes payola in his “engaging in open jihad” FOR Bernstein…

This woman seems like a MAJOR Whiner and Compaliner…like way too many worthless democrats…

FITS you look just as Kooky as this idiot…

Not to mention: She was placed in office under dubious (at best) circumstances…

Wonder how Bernstein feels seeing FITS bash the corrupt Rich-Co election that put her in, when she likely did not earn election…???

This douche knows nothing. Big(o)T is fine with garbage like Brady in the state house. Just put an R by their name, doesn’t matter if the cliche use of RINO is used, he is good with it. He has no morals, so he supports those without them as well.

Good for Bernstein if she never joins this caucus. More pettiness, but they just follow the lead of the governor.

Bernstein is a leader. BigT is a lemming. Think for yourself, T! Don’t let the media put words in your mouth.

Ironic.

A women’s caucus, presumably formed with the basic premises of advancing and supporting women in leadership positions, allows itself to to be the instrument of a political vendetta (of a has-been, political sore loser), the purpose of such vendetta being to scuttle the judicial campaign of another woman.

Unbelievable! This type of catty, petty and childish behavior is illustrative of the stereotypes women have fought to overcome as they have striven to attain leadership roles in various social, legal and political institutions long dominated by males.

Icing on the cake is they have a women putting herself out there to run for judge, a role dominated by men, and these so-called leaders put catty vendetta’s in front of the values of their caucus and working women everywhere. Well played ladies.

Even dumber, these women were pawns of Joan Brady and let her manipulate them into such reprehensible behavior. Joan is now a nobody and will have no real consequences for her part; however, these women are left to suffer the consequences of Joan’s folly.

Beth is a great girl and we “old gals” up here on the State House hill have taken to her. She has let it be known she is not owned by the old line Democrats. We are still afraid Jean Toal – the Queen of all SC Democrats now and especially those in the legislature – will soon be taking her to lunch or either getting her jew in the back pocket Joel Lourie to put the full court press on her, but we hope she stays as sane and middle of the road as she has done so far. Joel? We now know Lillian McBride (Sen. Jackson) and Jean Toal own you. Time for you to move on, son.

You clearly lack any respect for women and your entire existence in life is based around a hatred for authority. Put the two together and it’s pretty clear to the average reader that you could use some help from a shrink to get over your issues with your mother.

I think the main role this website serves is in identifying political, rather than purely social, problems. The problems are not rarely individuals or small groups. There, SC tends to have too much respect for well-positioned or long-lineaged miscreants, not too little respect. We are almost a feudal culture still, with far too much deference given to “the lords and squires.” The mocking disrespectful tone taken to the many unworthy elements in this “genrty” is just fine with me.

The endless harping against public schools is trying to swim upstream in a state that generally likes its local schools and merely wants improvement.

When I read this blog. . Which I probably should stop doing, I realize that we, Americans, don’t need to worry about WMDs, terrorists or Iran. We are doing such a good job of destroying ourselves from the inside.All we spew is hate and threats. We hate each other indescriminately. We’ve created and continue to perpetuate a nation that has become The Hatfield and the McCoys–the ‘Montagues and the Capulets. Sadly, the media and blogs such as this one allow us to spew our private insecurities and prejudice without taking responsibility for it. Why aren’t we working together to find answers for our problems? We talk terribly about our youth and their immaturity. I’m ashamed to say–we aren’t setting any type of example for them. Isn’t it time for all of us grow up. If we don’t like the way our world is going, maybe we should get off our lazy butts and do something about it–we can run for local races. If we aren’t going to stand up and be counted, maybe we should quit hiding behind our keyboards and shut up.

I cannot believe what I just read. Thinking about sending a copy of this to the The State so all can see how out of line and sexist you are. I would like to see what you look like. Takes one to know one, I heard. I am a young college age woman in the SC Honors College recently out of high school and the awareness regarding cyber bullying is stronger now than ever. I cannot believe a grown man is low enough to be an example of this, calling hard-working women in the legislature “bitches” and “whores” and being praised for it by some commentators. If you made such statements about a racial minority or the LGBT community right now you would be strung up by your toes. Just unbelievable and shows a young person how much work still needs to be done to educate pinheads such as yourself. Do you have a daughter? I sure hope not, you do not deserve one after spewing vile and objectifying trash like this article.

Young lady, welcome to the world – it is full of horrible and disgusting truths, I hope you have been taking notes.

You know what I tell my two daughters? Every swinging dick out there will GUT you for money, or merely for a moment’s pleasure if it suits him. Protest and stamp your tiny feet. But there is nothing you can do about that, and soon dad will be gone and unable to protect you, so develop the coat of a lamb but the teeth of a wolf. You don’t have to bite first, but you damned sure better bite last…and shake…and hold.

Most of us here are equal opportunity haters – not of women, or men, but of those pompous self centered, narcissistic women and men who seek power for power’s sake alone. Not to help, not to improve our world, but to be powerful. Your mistake stems from your assumption that politics was all glory. You forgot the guts…and you seem to have none. It’s not too late to learn your lessons. I’d start with “The Prince” and “The Art of War.” I told you what I tell my daughters, now you also know what I tell my sons.

If a man or woman seeks to put himself or herself in the public eye, they cannot later be heard to complain when the public eye sees cancerous scabs and shouts about them to the world. Read political cartoons from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, and you’ll see venom and vitriol. And real racism. And real bigotry. now, not so much.

A man is a dangerous, hateful thing. A woman is more dangerous still. I hope you will consider this.

“pompous self centered, narcissistic women and men who seek power for power’s sake alone. Not to help, not to improve our world, but to be powerful”

And it doesn’t have to be politicians. Have you met the puffed-up “big frogs” infesting middle management of some of the agencies? Not all the persons, of course, or even most, but plenty enough.

I certainly have. “Oh, hello my old friend, power. You haven’t changed a bit. You still crack a whip, you still play mental caste games, rank games, the ‘I got mine’ games.” I love these people.

I especially love the sinecures that really believe they are doing a job, that they are somehow vital to the mission of the agency. the graveyard is full of indispensible people, and power is fleeting. Power is constantly running, slipping through the fingers of the powerful like sand on the beach, escaping in soft breezes like a puff of smoke. It passes like a shadow from one to another.

If you really want to see pompous in a worthless package, look at some of the female talent Gov. Haley has appointed to DHEC, Melina Mann at LLR, and the second and third tier down ladies that somehow knew someone that knew someone.
