South Carolina Democrats have launched a new web campaign comparing”Republican” Nikki Haley to the evil queen from the Snow White fairy tale.

“Mirror, Mirror on the wall – who is the most unethical of them all?” the Democratic ad asks.

The spot is accompanied by a letter to Haley from South Carolinians who say they “won’t stand for her ethics violations.”

Haley has made ethics reform her top priority heading into the 2014 session of the S.C. General Assembly.

“This is about getting everybody outside South Carolina to see we have a true, accountable government,” Haley said. “But, more importantly, getting every body inside South Carolina to once and for all feel like they can trust their elected officials.”

Those are admirable objectives, to be sure … although most agree the watered-down legislation endorsed by Haley is wholly inadequate to the task at hand. Most importantly, Haley’s legislation fails to address the selective enforcement and “self-policing” of the Palmetto State’s elected officials that lies at the heart of the problem.

Seriously … until politicians are prohibited from acting as their own judges and jurors on ethics complaints, we will never see anyone held accountable for anything in this state.

Then there’s the issue of Haley’s hypocrisy on this issue (which is ongoing).

South Carolina is one of the most corruptsecretive state governments in America – a tradition Haley has continued (and expanded upon) despite her promise to run the “most transparent administration” in state history.

If the national republican party was not in such disarray, maybe they could have gotten her a job elsewhere or at Fox News, then she might not be running for re-election and South Carolina would be all the better. Then again, if a frog had wings…

The real problems are the thieves in the legislature, Nimrata has very little influence on much of anything they do to screw us all and enrich themselves and their buddies

Disagree, to a degree. Snooki’s power to appoint cronies and contributors to the boards and commissions that serve the special interests throughout this state is nothing to sneeze at. Not to say that the passengers in the General Assembly Klown Kar don’t take every advantage they can, though…

Not a Democrat, I’m an Independent.

I saw Haley up close and personal in Lexington Cty taking Hospital bribes, and now in the State House. Doing the exact same thing. You have to be a complete fool to believe anything the wicked witch of Lexington does is benefiting anyone other than: Tricky Nicky. She makes me sick to my stomach, and she should you too.

If that’s the best they can come up wit, she’s a shoo-in next year.

This sounds like some of Harpo’s stupid ideas.

Don’t know who came up with that picture of the Gypsy Queen but they fucked up

Her image concurs up images of Mae West and some of her better known quotes:

“I used to be Snow White, but I drifted”

“When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I’ve never tried before”

“A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that’s subtraction”

“One and one is two, and two and two is four, and five will get you ten if you know how to work it”

“Mirror, Mirror on the wall – who is the most unethical of them all?” the Democratic ad asks.

How dare you Democrats insult Jean Toal like this? She has that position and has been called Queen Jean – the most unethical and corrupt woman in state government – since Princess Nikki was in middle school. Jean Toal earned that title. And she will rip her do-boy Harpo a new one for allowing someone to put the title on Nikki.

Queen no; but, she thinks so.
Just like Obama thinks he is King!
The only difference between the two is one thinks their Kingdom is larger than the other.
Evil probably a good call.
I’m a Republican. The Dems. aren’t the only ones who think this way!
