Charleston, SC. April 2nd, 2013 … The Elizabeth Colbert Busch for Congress campaign released a statement reacting to Mark Sanford’s special election primary victory over Curtis Bostic late Tuesday night.
“I look forward to a vigorous campaign that focuses on creating jobs, balancing our country’s budget and choosing an independent-minded leader who shares the values of the great people of South Carolina,” Elizabeth Colbert Busch said. “As a businesswoman, I will use my experience to cut waste in Washington, lower tax rates so small businesses can create jobs and do the people of South Carolina proud as their representative.”
“We need a voice in Washington who stands up for South Carolina solutions – not either political party. And my business experience will get the job done.”
Recently released internal polling by the Colbert Busch campaign showed her leading Sanford by as much as 3 points ahead of Tuesday’s run-off. A separate poll conducted by the independent Public Policy Polling group also showed Colbert Busch leading Sanford with 45% favorability with just 31% unfavorability to Sanford’s 34% favorability and 58% unfavorability rating.
“The families of this district need a representative who they can trust,” campaign spokesman James Smith said. “Mark Sanford simply has the wrong values for our community – whether that’s his terms as Governor or the last time he was in Congress, where he opposed commonsense measures like the Violence Against Women Act, which provides shelters and resources for domestic violence survivors. On issue after issue, Mark Sanford doesn’t reflect the values of South Carolina.”

Ain’t this hilarious. The Colbert-Busch-League campaign hires a 21 year-old college student as its spokesman to apparently define and defend what “The families of this district need” as it relates to “trust” and “values”. Sayeth wut?
It’s not like she lied to everyone and had extramarital affairs in foreign countries.
“At a media session on Tuesday, Rep. James Clyburn (D-6) said raising money would be the “easiest part” of the Colbert Busch bid.
Her campaign and its allies have scheduled fundraisers in the next two weeks to help make sure it has the money it needs.
It has scheduled events in Washington, DC and New York City on April 15 and 23 respectively featuring her famous brother Stephen. The list of guest is a virtual who’s who in Democratic politics.
Clyburn will be joined by DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), and Sens. Al Franken (D-Minn.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Mary Landrieu (D-La.) at the D.C. event.”
Looks like Colbert-Busch-League campaign wants to bring the freak show to the conservative and family oriented congressional district of SC1.

“As a businesswoman” (working on the public payroll) she can figure out how to get more on the public payroll. Touch of hypocrisy there, no?

If she hammers on lowering taxes all day long she is going to soundly kick Sanford’s ass.
