FYI: Obamacare is the work of the Heritage Foundation.
And Newt Gingrich took SC in the primary, being one of the proponents for the individual mandate. And Romney took SC in 2012, being the one who ultimately instated the ACA on the state level.
Yes, yes, SC hypocrisy tops even Republican hypocrisy. Ask most of our state’s citizens how they feel about illegal immigration and then wonder why one of amnesty’s biggest proponents, Graham, keeps getting reelected.
Scott Lemieux respectfully disagrees:

South Carolinians with abysmally low income levels lost when this state rejected the Medicaid expansion.
South Carolinians won since nullification of the ACA would be ultimately rejected and therefore we’d be stuck, yet again, defending worthless legislation that doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Hell.
Ya just can’t beat city hall – or common sense.
Leatherman won. He allowed the right-wingers to waste precious time. He will allow more dumb ass issues to hit the floor so that they waste time. Then, in the end, he will ram the budget down those same right-winger’s throats and make them accept his out of control big spending ways.
Leatherman’s goon of a jug head lawyer stands up there by the podium, like he is going to throttle anyone that gets out of line. These guys are thugs. And ugly.
It is definitely about LOSERS – you got that right!
To quote R.P. McMurphy: “I tried G–D— it, at least I did that”…
Something calculating politicians like FITS and Sanford will never get: You can stand for the people and Lose and skirmish….but they will remember what you stood for, in the end…
It’s why Sanford is nothing but a compromised joke, who looks stupid and begging to have his ego fed…and FITS is seen as a political opportunist, dancing for whichever pimp offers the best deal and cushy-boy perks…by the same machine he claims to rage against…
I tried that, I tried that!! Don’t forget me…
Sanford is a “de-balled, compromised joke” sitting in a cushy DC office, rakin’ in a couple hundred grand a year and taking government funded junkets all over the world. Must not forget the little details.
“ALG, Cato, The Federalist Society, FITSNews and the Heritage Foundation.”
That’s some interesting company there, FITS. Just curious, you in charge of the spittoons or the chamberpots?
Tell me – nobody else seems to want to – What is the difference between passing a marihuana (to the purists, “marijuana”) law that is completely against the Federal Controlled Substances Act (“legalizing recreational use” OR “medical marihuana”) and “nullification”. With all due respect to the cockroaches in both Federal and State Guvvinment, the Federal Attorney General, if he had any balls at all, would come down on Colorado and Washington State with a “hammer” that would put down the “nullification” argument forever (as many of us traditionally trained attorneys thought was settled with the failed argument of John C. Calhoun some 180+ years ago).
The current Federal Controlled Substances Act clearly allows the states some authority in regulating these drugs and other substances, AS LONG AS it is compatible with the Federal law. This means that the states can be stricter than the Federal law, but not less strict.
“…his law is a complete and total clusterfuck…” Aye, that it is, laddie.. that it is.
Imprisoning federal bureaucrats stomping on our rights and shredding the Constitution sounds like a fantastic idea to me…
How much longer will Americans put up with this crap, and what are our states going to do about the regime in DC trying to make them into administrative units in the giant scam to steal our freedom and money?
Its over sweetheart,pack it in.Next,we are coming for YOU!
Tom Davis voted for Jean Toal for no apparent reason he could articulately explain. He supported a proven corrupt, Democrat. He has not regained any measure of respectability. He is sinking like a rock. Go home Tom and leave us alone.
All that Tom Davis did was to waste tax dollars.
It was a bunch of time consuming Bull Shit from the start
Total waste of time,talent and resources fit only to kiss the asses of Tea Party types
The John Birch Society and the GOP have the same agenda, the old JBS is the new GOP.
