One man’s/woman’s “entertainment” is anothers tragedy! Ask the children of these adulterers how entertaining is has been for them!?
Peeler”s/Donna’s, Sanford’s/Chaupur’s, Eckstrom’s/payne’s! You will find human tragedy.

The Colonel August 3, 2015 at 1:50 pm

The situation is despicable – the “letter to the editor” solution is hilarious. We’ve known that Eckstorm is a whore, she obviously knew his son was weak, whipped and a wuss so I am having a hard time finding any sympathy for her. I saw a quote yesterday that seems to fit here very well: “Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you’re stupid and make
bad decisions…”

Moral of the story:

Don’t get pregnant out of wedlock. (and the Ickstrom family is filled with losers, but we all already knew that)

Is that because you’re a bastard?

:)

Seriously though, the mother seems to have more responsibility in caring for the child after such a mistake than the father most of the time.

Yes, the father usually is ground into the system and pays out the nose, but when the father is a loser that doesn’t car about the kid he produced he’s simply writing a check and “done”.

The mother has 18 years(or more) of commitment way beyond the financial.

Religious people always champion the issue of “sin” and sex out of wedlock, but beyond that there’s some very rational/common sense reasons beyond the fear of Hell to not risk pregnancy/sex out of wedlock beyond religious reasons.

Roger. Neither am I, I’m just noting that the women ultimately has the final say(assuming it’s not rape) in such matters and her decision usually a disproportionate effect on her life versus the loser.

She could put it up for adoption. Isn’t that what all the folks who dislike both abortion and social programs to support the poor say?

I say we skewer his ass, with the hook. In fact, let’s not skewer the ass, let’s use another part for the hook. Based on his actions, we probably don’t need a big hook.

Family Values Politics August 3, 2015 at 11:41 am

If a politician runs on family values, people should vote against that politician.

It is clear politicians do not make good role models when it comes to the family.

Politicians don’t make good role models for anything.

Eckstrom is a sleazy, slimy slug just like his other Republican adulterers Bob Peeler, Mark Sanford. They are ALL an embarrassment to themselves and the party. The problem is they are so self consumed, self serving and shameless narcissist, just like those sluts they had affairs with, the cannot accept any wrong doing and have to set out to destroy their Exs. In psychological terms it is called TRANSFERENCE. It is a personality disorder/character flaw which runs with the Narcissist disorder. They are so self loving, nothing, or no one else matters. It is, after all, all about them.
The women appear to be Political Groupies, much akin to the Groupies who follow Rock Bands. The difference, most Rock and Groupies are in only for the sexual experience of getting laid by Rock Stars. The Political Groupies like the ones with Eckstrom, Peeler and Sanford are seduced by the Political Lime Light, and are willing to sacrifice their families, children and anyone, or anything they feel could prevent their goal, selfish, sick satisfaction for themselves.
We’ve had many examples in SC recently.
All follow the same pattern, tactics, and sick, nefarious destruction of all they feel threaten their goal.

Eckstorm has been sitting on the Budget and Control Board for decades and what has he done? Nothing. All he does is piss and moan, back up whoever is the most powerful person—used to be Sanford, now is Leatherman—and get nothing positivecaccomplished.

All the while the state has plummeted in every way. Well, Mr. Eckstrom, you sux.

A boy, on his 12th birthday, asks his mother,
“Mother, I’ve grown up without a father, and you promised me that on my 12th birthday you would
tell me who my real father is.”

His mother says, “Yes, my son, it happened this way. In a certain state where I was living, there is a certain town. In that certain townis a certain saloon. In that certain saloon I met a certain man.”

Excitedly the boy says, “Oh yes, yes! And he’s my father?”

His mother replies, “Actually, I’m not certain!”

What is her point? And why is this news-worthy? Welcome to the real world chickadee. It’s mean. Life sucks sometimes. LET. IT. GO. You’ve got a daughter to raise. And like it or not, those assholes are your daughter’s kin. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and focus on a more positive future for yourself and your daughter.

Sweetheart, let me give you some advise. And you should take this to heart. First, enjoy your daughter and the precious moments you two will share over the years. Second, with paternity confirmed, get some really good lawyers. I mean, head down to Charleston where you can find some real cut through MOFOs with balls and sue the living shit out of them. Do it very publicly. Make it a huge splash. Ask for a huge sum of money in damages. Let’s see, it costs about $20,000 a year to raise a child for 20 years, so that’s $400,000, and another $150,000 for education, and another $100,000 for misc items. Then bump it up to cover the lawyers cut, so say about $1.2 million. Actually, ask for a cool $1.7 million. I can I say with certainty, they will be scrambling all over SC to come up with the $1.2 million to pay you off. And, then, move to San Diego, where the weather is great, the people are really nice, and where your daughter’s father has to go back to his father every freaking four months and ask for the $600 in airfare to fly out there and see his daughter.
