Embattled S.C. Sen. Robert Ford (D-Charleston) may have done more than just spend campaign funds at two adult novelty stores, he may have also purchased some medication to “enhance” his enjoyment of those purchases.
Ford – who is the subject of a major ethics probe at the S.C. State House – has an explanation for everything, though. According to the veteran lawmaker, his purchases at two adult bookstores – $82 at the Lion’s Den Adult Books and Video (near Bowman, S.C.) and $63 at the “Badd Kitty” (in Charleston) – were gag gifts for campaign staffers.
If true, then Ford’s purchases would be legal under state ethics law – which allows candidates to buy small gifts for their campaign employees.
Of course our founding editor was skeptical of Ford’s claim, as evidenced by this tweet …
I bet $63 that SC Sen. Robert Ford bought some anal beads and ass-less chaps at that adult bookstore … and you know what? Good for him.

In addition to allegedly using campaign funds for personal purposes (including his gym membership), Ford is also accused of writing checks to himself directly from his campaign. Not only that he’s been accused of illegally falsifying his campaign finance records as part of a deliberate effort to deceive investigators and evade accountability for his actions.
Other violations alleged to have been committed by Ford include failing to report contributions, failing to report loans and misrepresenting the amount of certain expenditures.
The most bizarre allegation of all? That Ford used his campaign debit card to purchase Cyvita – penis enlargement pills that have yet to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
So … were these penis growing pills “gifts for campaign staffers” too? Not according to Ford, who claims his card was used fraudulently in the purchase of the pills.
Wow …
Can’t wait for The Daily Show to get a hold of this story …

Right !! When folks tell him to “have a good one,” he probably replies, ” I already have a good one – I just want a bigger one!”

The democrats are imploding, statewide, and it’s even much worse, nationally….
Rumor is: IRS, AP, Rosen and Benghazi are small-time, tip-of-the-iceberg…The country will be ROCKED to it’s core when all of it comes out about the Obama Administration. He and his minions really think he’s God.
ROCKED to its core…We’ll see, I guess. I won’t believe it until it happens…democrats always seem to skate despite their rot and corruption…
It must be easy for you. Seeing life through such a simple lens. You’re right, everybody else is wrong. Black and white. Easy peazy. Enjoy yourself.
So you support illegally using campaign funds at Sex Shops, persecuting political enemies, Gestapo-ing reporters and neglecting our guys out to be murdered…
You are one low, rotten, immoral, corrupt individual…It would be wise to check yourself, and what you’ve become…
I would not hire you, nor would I want someone as unethical as you around my children. This country is falling apart because of Trash, and you seem to represent yourself poorly…
You should be ashamed….but sadly, you people seem to be proud that you have gotten away w/ your disgusting, un-American behavior…
What happened — did the wife forget to warm your grits for you this morning?
Note the usage of “you people”. Obvious bigotry and bias with a dash of righteous indignation. We’re trash, he’s not. He’s right and everybody else who doesn’t look, think, and smell like him is either:
A. You people. –racist drivel
B. Trash –classist drivel
C. un-American –ignorant drivel
Mr. Tango, you throw some dirty names around. “low, rotten, immoral, corrupt”
But what is really telling of your personality is the narcissistic and self delusional diatribe you so self-indulgently embark on over and over and over and over again.
You could never “hire” me. I may buy you.
I wouldn’t want to be around your children if they have been raised in such a bigoted and hateful manner. So no worries.
This country isn’t “falling apart”. The intelligence level is being diminished by ignorant blather from misguided fools. Fools such as yourself.
Have a great day!
Moral Clarity: You either have it or you don’t….
You don’t Debate a political tyrant who uses the IRS to persecute based on politics…And Truth and Reality have NOTHING to do with whether I’m right or not…
You compromised yourself when you became a prostitute for Corrupt and evil people…
Trying to make this about ME, so you don’t have to face YOU or what your masters are, is ludicrous. And transferring your shame will just damage you more in the long run…though you may not care…
????
Hey, Dumbass! “He can forgive you..” Who’s this “He?”
If you’re asking with such contempt, your mind is likely closed already…
That said: If you choose to go worship the rain forest or hold the penis as holy…that is your business. That’s your idolatry. You are following in the steps of many civilizations that have been laid to waste.
I may not understand your ignorance…but I don’t have to. It is your prerogative. So there is no reason for you to aggressively worry about my beliefs..To think you can force your contempt on me, is folly by the simple-minded…. The same is true for Obama w/ abortion and Government-forced gay marriage. Have at it..but you have no right to force it on others…
Hell, you don’t even understand your own ignorance!
YOU BETCHA!
YOU BETCHA!
But I understand yours, dwb…You are the WEAKEST mind on their team…and that’s saying A LOT!!!!
Oh,poo-poo.
Now ya’ gonna beat me up ,right?
YOU so predickable,sic
YOU BETCHA!
YOU BETCHA!
Go easy on big idio”T”.
He confuses his plastic soldiers with real children.
Stay on topic, T. If I wanted to listen to an asshole be an asshole, I’d fart.
Here it is, an article about a SC Democrat doing bad shit, and he can’t even stick to that one Democrat, let alone keep the conversation to SC.
Going from penis pills to Benghazi. I don’t even know anymore…
I forgot, I’m working with liberals here. You are the non-creative, dull and unimaginative. If the DNC, FITS or the White House does not tell what to say or think..you are LOST:
So here we go: The White was IMPOTENT (don’t get confused w/ important) when asked to save our people in Benghazi. so actually, Sen. Ford and Obama have the same erectile dysfunction, in a manner of speaking.
Does that make it easier for you simple-minded leftwingers???
Now youre talking bo!Grand Dragon Homer says you doin good with them libruls.Klavern meeting changed from 8:00 to 7:00 tonight so we will have time for some fun stuff.See ya there!
You can pick big idio”T” out in the caped crowd.
He’s the one with mama dropping him off, she drives a Vista Cruiser with slobber stains in all the windows, except the drivers door. Mama don’t slobber.
YOU BETCHA!
YOU BETCHA!
BRRAAAAKKKK! Liberals! BBRRRAAAAAKKKK! Un-American! BRRAAAAAKKKK! Caps Lock on again! BRRAAAAAKKKKK! Three degrees of seperation between Robert Ford’s goober stiffener pills and Benghazi! BRRAAAKKKKKKK!
Hey, if you like obsessing over two black Democrats taking Viagra, far be it from me to interrupt your little fantasy. In fact, I think I’ll just back very far away from my computer now. See ya!
If I’m so impotent, I better talk like I’m so impotent.
TOUCHE!
Politicians are such a unique breed. Perhaps South Carolina should become an incubator of innovation and be the first to require castration prior to running for elected office. Eunuchs, the castrati…they have their place.

Look at the website for these pills. “By ordering Cyvita direct, you are agreeing to binding arbitration of any dispute and waiving your right to a court trial, including a trial by jury, or to participate in a class action.” In other words, “we won’t let you sue us when your wang don’t work no more.” Glad someone with the judgment to buy something like this is resigning from office. Dumbass.

Isn’t this one of the guys Howard Rich paid to help him stick the taxpayers with the cost of private schooling in SC? Were any of the contributions or loans he failed to report from Mr. Rich or one of his organizations?

Kind of ruins the old “Excuuuuuuse me while I whip this out…” stereotype.

Huh? He goes to the gym? That’s the part of this story I find hard to believe.

I am anxiously waiting for Ford’s candid interview so his face and dick could get all red due to Cyvita lol. Have’nt heard of the brand name before, why would he even buy such unbranded product. A year ago another such story was aired that some politician buy vigrx plus for enlargement. But common guys are’nt they just normal folks just like us? So what if they have such problems to deal with, are we too short of problems? Huh?
If true, then Ford’s purchases would be legal under state ethics law – which allows candidates to buy small gifts for their campaign employees. vimax-pills
