Way, way too long an epistle, and extremely weak on holding accountable the governess and her cohorts who were responsible.
“We can get there, together.”
Yea, that’s not cliche’.
Do all these speech writers get the same award certificate from CSOL’s six month matriculation on speech writing? I wonder what’s it’s like to spend $100K on a degree that gets you a $20K/year job.
Simply horrible.
“NICE” isn’t going to get him elected — what’s needed is someone who will kick ass from the get-go…….
“Do all these speech writers get the same award certificate ”
Perhaps this sort of writing is part of the essay section on the bar exam, so you may be correct.
How long has he been in office there? Why hasn’t he and the others done something about it? They do whatever they want, regardless of what any governor wants to do.
Vinny, Vinny, Vinny. You need to listen to your Uncle Shifty. You are running for an elective office not writing a fucking novel.
Voters listen up:
Your Governor fucked up when she sent your social security number to Kyrgyzstan
Your Governor fucked up again when she tried to hide the fact that she sent your social security number to Kyrgyzstan
Your Governor fucked up a third time when she gave away $millions$ of your tax dollars to a company to protect you from hacking and that same company was hacked by a 10 year old using two tuna cans and a ball of twine
Your Governor is fucked up – Vote Vinny for Governor
lol….OWB should be teaching a speech writing course!
You won’t get a certificate, but it also won’t cost you $100k(probably a Yuengling or two) and I assure you that you’ll learn something.
Nikki should be hacked!!
You all are talking about a woman with no shame. Guess that’s how she was raised.
Nikki is a HACK!
You beat me with your comment. Haley is a Professional, Political, Prostitute (like Palin).
“Bipartisan leadership”… That’s what they ALL say. I don’t think anyone can actually pull it off. No no such thing as Bipartisanship anymore.
TL;DR: Haley bad.
No offense Sheheen, but if people don’t know the problems with Haley by now, they’re just entirely clueless and you have no hope of persuading them to not join the rest of the dumb vote. Hopefully she gets a credible challenger in the primary and people wake the hell up, as I seriously doubt the guy who lost to her last time won’t do anything but lose to her the next time.
Like I said before, the voters need to follow Will Folk’s lead and dump Haley.
Really, Will? What was the attraction? You always dated really pretty girls. Was it because she was easy?
Where were you, dick-weed? This data sat unprotected for years. Hard to blame it on Haley when you are part of the problem too. And the cover-up and delay made no difference. Once the data was gone, it was gone. Finally, there has been no indication – zero – of use of it to hack into individual accounts. Was this an embarrassment to SC and a glaring illustration of the utter incompetence of gubmit? yep. Was is all Haley’s fault. Nope. Check the mirror, asshole.
You are going to get beaten by a not very bright, banal, unethical, adulterous serial liar and political opportunist. Deal with it.
Nikki Haley only cares about Nikki Haley!
Haley blamed the federal government for the SCDOR hacking, but the truth remains that the data was not encrypted because of a price tag of $6 million at the time. You have stupid people at the political helm charged with keeping your data secure. IT professionals know the value of keeping data secure, but their hands are tied if money isn’t available. I’m not sure that has been remedied other than the state buying identity theft software. Has the data been encrypted now? There is a team that is supposedly oversees data security for the state, is that working?
”….The hacking was a horrible and preventable disgrace. First, under Nikki Haley, South Carolina’s Department of Revenue failed to enroll…”
Note to Vince, the system in question predates Haley’s administration – it was flawed at installation. Who appropriates money for the purchase of systems and services? Oh that’s right, the State House…
”… by covering-up the hacking for 16 days, Nikki Haley failed the test of leadership….”
First you empty suit, you wouldn’t know leadership if it snuck up behind you and bit you on your non-existent ass. Secondly, what really went on was an attempt to figure out what happened and the best way to approach it. I’m sorry you had to wait two extra weeks to find out that a system you authorized failed to meet modern security standards. The truth is, if it’s connected to the internet, it’s hackable. My debit card has been replaced three times this year because the stores I’ve used it in failed to protect the data – I haven’t lost a dime though because the bank took care of the problem just exactly as they should have.
”… Hacking victims continue to suffer because of the poor choices by Nikki Haley…
BS, if you could prove this assertion it would be front page news.
”… Bipartisan leadership, real accountability will deliver results and move us for blah blah blah”
Like I said, you’re a “leader” short of being able to provide leadership and only marginally bipartisan (really only when the RINOs are leaning your way)
Nooki’s no prize but you’re just an empty suit.
Does Vinny believe Obama caused the Obamacare website too? If not, it would be tough for him to remain consistent when pressed by more credible journalists than our good friend and known liar, Will “the wife beater” Folks. Last time I checked Nikki Haley wasn’t the IT person at the Dept of Revenue.
Sheehan = Yuppy Yuppy, Dork Dork, Rich Twit Born With A Silver Spoon In His Mouth Pathological Narcissistic Pecker Jerk.
What has Rep. James Smith got to do with this story and your description of him? Oh. I get it now. Sorry. Nevermind.
Vinny, Vinny, Vinny, your continued support of Jean Toal is going to be your demise. No, you cannot promise her 8 more votes in the house, Your BFF is doing all that whiny talk for her also and the more y’all bash Costa, and sing Jean’s praises, the dumber and more corrupt you two look. Joel showed his true colors in the Lillian McBride debacle so he is not credible anyway. Come clean – break from the old guard and help us out, Vinny.
The only honest person in your chosen picture for this article is not in it. I’m not saying who that is, but Phil Leventis is also retired from the Senate.
