No way! We need as many civilized people here as we can get. Someone smart enough to vote in their own self interest.

So the people of the South aren’t civilized?

I’m sure they are welcoming the likes of you with open arms.

You are worse then a carpetbagger, you are like a blood sucking tick living in his carpet that jumps off once it’s unfurled.

There are those moments Forest, when I think that, then I think about you and I say… Oh hell no this state needs some one with an education in it and break up the shared DNA.

Wait. South Carolina has the least job-killing unions; so why are our job numbers so bad? I don’t understand why the liberal-taxing, union-friendly states have such better employment numbers?

Yes Fits REPUBLICAN Nikki Haley!Whats with the “Republican” as if Nikki Haley isnt what she most definitely is-

A REPUBLICAN!

This weird proclivity you have for acting as if when something uncomfortable happens involving a REPUBLICAN politico,they are immediately labelled with quotation marks or other such foolishness, as if they arent t what they are is amusing.

South Carolina has a REPUBLICAN Governor who was elected after winning a REPUBLICAN primary and ,furthermore, will be re elected next year after winning a REPUBLICAN primary with votes fom REPUBLICANS.

Let’s see, Nikki appoints a former general with a music degree and NO business experience to run SCDEW and that ends with fiscal mismanagement and massive layoffs of SCDEW staff. Then, Nikki appoints a New York labor Attorney who knows nothing about Workforce Development to run SCDEW, but who was the Council for the White House Personnel office (political payoff…) and SC Labor Force Hits Record Low … Again. I wonder why…
Nikki Haley only cares about Nikki Haley.

So the SCDEW can create jobs?

SCDEW is part of the Workforce Development system in SC. SCDEW should be working with other Workforce Development partners ( Commerce, COG and others) to train and educate workers so that they can become employable. While SCDEW can not create jobs (and it’s role isn’t to create jobs), it should be creating a workforce environment favorable to out of state/country business entities. This would make South Carolina an attractive place for businesses to relocate or expand.Companies like Boeing and BMW were lured here with tax incentives and the promise of a non union workforce. If SCDEW had leadership that was experienced with business, SC would have something to offer (a well trained, educated workforce) instead of giving “the Farm” away (Tax Incentives and non union nonsense.)

Just got off the phone with Sarah Palin. Our call went like this—–

Henry: Sarah, will you be coming to South Carolina in 2014 to pull Nikki’s ass out of the swamp again?

Sarah: Nikki — who?

Wonder if that guy squeals like a pig?
Haley is pathetic. He may not squeal; but, I’d be damned if he ain’t stupid, getting that close to her.

Why the quotes around Republican describing the gov? She’s the ideal repub.: Sabotaging the overall economy of what’s under her/his domain in order to enrich those herself and those that have donated to her.
