BEHOLD THE “MUST-FOLLOW JOURNALISTS” IN EARLY VOTING STATES
|| By FITSNEWS || As the 2016 presidential primary season heats up, politicos nationwide are once again focusing their attention on three key early-voting states: Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
To that end, Politico has assembled a list of “must-follow journalists on the ground” in each of these three states – a list of “influential voices” and “masters of campaign scoops.”
Did we make the list? Yes … (if you scroll all the way to the very, very end).
Authors Katie Gluek and Hadas Gold refer to FITS as a “conservative site,” one that is “highly controversial, and, in some political circles, dismissed.”
“But it is also the most prominent political blog in the state,” they continue.
And what of our founding editor Will Folks?
Folks, who has worked in GOP communications, also supplies his eye-raising personal history on his website, which includes a domestic violence charge and claims of a torrid affair with South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (a claim respected members of the Palmetto State political class dismiss and say discredits him).
How … to … fit .. that … on … our … tomb … stone …
And if only we were a “respected member of the Palmetto State political class.” They might have let us in Bushwood.
Anyway, to check the list out for yourself, CLICK HERE.

1- ANY group Calling FITS Conservative is FULL of $#!t. I’m Conservative, and FITS you ARE NO Conservative. Far from it.
2- Most media analyst sites are Liberal, and ONLY give you any respect because you are a NO. 1 BASHER of Republicans. When USC invited you to speak, it outed you as LOVED by Liberals, and worthless as credible, reality-based media.
3- I ran a very much visited political analysis web-site pre-election 2014. EVERY candidate, and every issue I assessed WON on election day. No one else in politics covered in SC as I did. …whereas FITS may have gotten ONE or TWO issues and candidates correct, on top of many wild lies and ridiculous claims and much incorrect analysis.
Lastly: FITS is EXACTLY what s wrong with pop culture and media. You are the most dishonest, most cliche and the least meritorious…yet you are the most celebrated by the gaggle of mainstream GOONS because you, and they are absurd, CLICHES….You would not know originality, insight or truth, if it bit you on your flaccid @$$.
I think he wants to battle rap you, Will.
Or fuck hell out of ya, one of the two.
Judging from some of the, uhh, more colorful comments from GrandTango, I’d say Buz is right on the money.
“I’m Conservative”
I can see every GOPer here cringe with your proclaimation. It gives me a good, hardy belly laugh.
I’d join you in the laughter, but then I remembered GrandTango is a Gamecocks fan. Ouch. :(
check out that petition in mb to remove the mayor…buz is HE started it and is hiding behind that clown…they had 20 signatures until he removed his name? 20!!
NOT FITS…fly in ointment
There was a petition? I never saw that. Interesting.
But it’s old news. I’m 100% for Mayor Rhodes, due to a job well done. I have severed all ties with Mark McBride. It’s a new day, but you are still stuck in the past. Too bad.
Do you people not realize that Grand Tango and Will Folks are one and the same person? Grand Tango is just a persona that Folks has created to elicit more “comments” on stories he writes, as well as to bring out the more inane remarks, which it obviously does.
Someone’s blog didn’t make the list.
“a torrid affair with South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley”
—————————-
When put that way it makes one think that this life-changing episode occurred AFTER Nikki was anointed as the Governess…..
Trust me. Getting lots of wood into the bush beats hell out of getting into Bushwood.
Why women say hunters make the best lovers—–
They go deep into the bush, they only shoot once, and they eat what they shoot……
Ya need to remind Ashley Landress that you are all important and everything. I know she kinda knows. But The Nerve does not have this site/blog listed on their Blogroll section.
Which is a real mess. Brad Warthen is on there, his esoteric shit is lamer than ever, and he seldom updates these days. Earl Capps is on there, and he folded his tent long ago. SC Hotline is on there, sorta — the link goes to CNN for some reason. The Garnet Spy link takes you to SOMETHING in Chinese (I think). Sunshine Review is a dead link, as are several others.
I love Landress and SCPC. But they need to put Big T’s blog on Blogroll. JK!!!!
They need to put FITS on there, and get in and fix all the broken links. Blogs that actually call out corruption in this state are rare as teeth in the mouth of a tweek-head. So it’s good to have ’em connected.
Yeh but Fits Ain’t no Damn Republican
He says so!!!!
99% of the time, Libertarian is just a hip way of saying “Republican when it matters.”
“a claim respected members of the Palmetto State political class”
There is no such animal. There are only pigs in that class.
my b.ddy’s sister-in-law makes $74 /hr on the internet . She has been laid off for five months but last month her pay was $12721 just working on the internet for a few hours. check out the post right here;.View here.
“And if only we were a ‘respected member of the Palmetto State political class.’”
Fits is like the girl all the guys want to screw, but don’t want to be seen in public with.
Kinsley Wentzky is a whore!
The rest of the country does not take SC politics seriously. A blog dismissed by many political circles would be the most popular in SC. Are Fits and GrandTango the same person?

2 Gluttony

Speaking of . . . the Statehouse fills back up pretty soon. Maybe the interesting scandal stories will start warming up again, even if only rumors.
“Who hath Harrell hoofed?” “Will Metts soon man a mop?” “Is ‘Singing Danny’ to fly free as a bird?”
Surprise, surprise, the Associated Press was not on the list. It is obvious the national people know what we know and that is the AP couldn’t find its way to a real story if it had too! If SC had an AP that was fact based and not an apologist for the status quo we would not be a near third world country!
The AP sux, and have suxed for a long time. I went to them with a story once and they passed. Charlotte Observer picked it up and ran a two part series.
AP suxs.
the same class as Moo Ron Morris, Seth “let me as the same ? five different ways” Emerson, David “fake hitcount now im a media member” Cloninger, and last but not least Bart “Clempson Fans Kan’t Read” Wright. So congrats on that esteemed company.
