Corrupt S.C. Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell (RINO-Charleston) currently finds himself in the fight of his political life … and the embattled legislative leader is reaching for every lever he can find in his bid to hang onto power.
Facing a criminal probe over a host of ethical lapses – and calls for his resignation – Harrell has embarked on a no-holds barred effort to silence his critics (and reward his allies). His latest attempt to purchase loyalty? “Sponsorships” for his S.C. House “Republican” Caucus in the programs of county party conventions.
Except these sponsorships are really advertisements for Harrell – as well as a chance to ingratiate himself with county party leaders.
“I would like to enquire (sic) about being a part of your County Convention,” a caucus staffer wrote recently to local party chairmen. “Please let me know what the cost would be to have a prominent advertisement for our House Speaker Bobby Harrell placed in the print version of County Convention handout/program. Thank you in advance and I look forward to working with you on this. Please get back with me as soon as you can so we can work out the details of the sponsorship.”
“Details of the sponsorship,” eh?
Hmmmm … talk about an “offer they can’t refuse.”
Sources familiar with the solicitations acknowledged they were sent out “earlier than usual,” but added “there’s no conspiracy.”
Yeah … because God forbid anybody ascribe a self-serving motivation to one of the most self-serving politicians this state has ever seen.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how many county parties take Harrell up on his offer.
“I would like to see how many county (parties) are for sale,” one source mused.

“S.C. Attorney General Alan Wilson’s campaign did not report several
contributions for Wilson’s 2011 inaugural gala, including a $3,500
donation from House Speaker Bobby Harrell, Wilson’s former campaign
chairman said today.” Post and Courier newspaper.
Mr. Wilson loves freebies. From the unreported “low cost leases” on his personal cars to his free athletic tickets to his publicly unreported PAC to his campaign contributions from entities that are actually currying favor (and maxed out) with his congressman father, Wilson has refined scummy financial behavior.

Dear Bobby Harrell….
We wonder if you are going to introduce a bill like the one being reported in this article..!?
http://dailycaller.com/2013/02/21/illinois-state-senator-pushes-anti-anonymity-bill/
We wonder just how much impact this would have on Sic Willie’s website ..?? It is really refreshing to know that YOU would require Wil Folks to verify all the fine citizens who read and respond to his work ..BUT YOU….would not require all parties identify themselves that you give slush too or who the REAL donors of cash are to our state’s many PACs..!!
How about our highway BILLBOARD signs and the “anonymous” sponsor ships that pay for those..!!?
How about the “sponsors” paying for certain signage at college football and basketball and FRAT ..”games”…!?!
Bobby……..have a chat at the Mayor Swails State Farm Agency with Brian Hicks…won’t you..?? Wil Folks would love to report it…!!

“….Dealing with the SBCS is like taking a trip to the deep South, minus the southern hospitality and charm. The force is staffed by a tight good ol’ boys network drawn from a base of white ultra-conservative ex-military types, overseen by corrupt judges and a municipal government that’s deep in the pocket of ruthless real estate speculators. It’s distinguished by brazen graft, police brutality and a general disregard for lawful policing…”

Guess Harrell has a lot in common with Jesse Jackson Jr.–using campaign funds for personal use. Will Harrell man up like Jackson and plead guilty? Makes you wonder if he charges taxpayers cost of mileage for flying his plane at campaign expense. Do you think he reported the rental income as taxable income? Maybe a DOR tax evasion investigation is needed-could take the heat off DOR for releasing everyone’s SS numbers.
