LOOKING BEYOND THE SEX, ETHICAL LAPSES AND IDEOLOGICAL SHORTCOMINGS
The selection of S.C. governor Nikki Haley to deliver the “Republican” response to U.S. president Barack Obama‘s 2016 “State of the Union” address has generated a lot of discussion regarding Haley’s national ambitions.
It’s also generated plenty of talk about her current job performance (or lack thereof).
Finally, it’s generated a ton of calls from national media outlets to the founding editor of this website, Will Folks. Specifically, these national reporters (and a few editors) are asking about his 2007 affair with Haley – which first became public knowledge during the 2010 gubernatorial race.
This drama has already flared up once on the national level in recent months … and Haley’s prime time address has once again revived the chatter.
So … what do we make of it?
First of all, Folks isn’t commenting on it: He’s simply referring reporters to three links.
They are ..
1. “Haley Won’t Sign Affidavit” – A recap of the aftermath of the initial affair allegations.
2. “The Nikki Haley Whitewash” – A post chronicling the 2012 ethics “investigation” into Haley.
3. “Haley Vetoes Next-To-Nothing … Again” – A story outlining our real issue with Haley, the fact she isn’t what she claims to be ideologically.
Beyond that, he’s making no comment …
Of interest? We’re told the real problem with Haley’s national ambitions has nothing to do with sex, ethical lapses or ideology – and everything to do with her ongoing proximity to the “family business.” Specifically, some questionable property records.
In fact we’re told several national reporters are already delving into the various financial irregularities in Haley’s background – irregularities which should pretty quickly lead them to the heart of the matter.

That’s a hell of a lot of commenting for a no comment.
Makes one wonder what would have happened if he had made a comment
There would have been pandelerium in the streets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7qZIRtbFJ8
Maybe we’ll all get to see Will’s mugshot splashed across FoxNews and TMZ soon?
Will never got over his only brush with potential fame. Small fish. Shrinking pond.
The dearth of comment in that No Comment is voluminous, deep and wide.
If Will shit on the sidewalk you would eat it and ask for seconds.
Consuming fecal matter, you sure you ain’t GrandTango?
pogo/flip is not Terry Ward, aka GrandTango. They do have a shared vocabulary, largely centered around feces and the nether orifices from which it emanates.
This could mean some sort of shared homoerotic coprophilia — as many suggest. On the other hand, they might just be talking shit because they’re rank assholes.
Boz were you ‘Tina Turner’ at the old gay bar called the Time Out in Myrtle Beach?
Time Out was a cool place!
Always fun people there.
See?????
They are the same people. They’ve always been the same people. It might be one person with a serious personality disorder, but it’s all from the same brain.
Just like …………. bam!! Bam – Bam!!!!
“Shady family bookeeper becomes successful “Rubio Style” after decades of living check to check, thanks taxpayers and ex-lovers.”
That is fucking hilarious!!!!
Too bad my blog failed.
I would have stolen it.
Start a new one? Or did you do that already?
No. I completely failed. Then I got outted here and got embarrased.
I got the shit slapped out of me and got taught a lesson.
Now I behave myself.
I call BS. On the part about behaving and got out of here.
“We’re told the real problem with Haley’s national ambitions has nothing to do with sex,”
Don’t agree.Was just in South Carolina,Georgia and Florida and this subject is alive and well about Haley.Property records was never broached as a subject.
It sure is a good thing she didn’t piss you off at one time or another or you might have made a comment.
Anybody remember Earl Capps? Are the national reporters and editors asking him for comments?
No one believes there was an affair between Haley and Will Folks. He was associating with coke heads like Thomas Ravenel who was btw was convicted of a felony for his coke habit. It is way too ironic that shady Lobbyist Larry Marchant came out with a similar tall tale at the exact same time. No reporter ever bothered to investigate it bc we all just assumed Will and Larry were in some trouble and were blackmailed into going to the media about their alleged affairs. No one had collaborated their stories.
Interesting.Never read that side of it.
I didn’t read it anywhere either. I just figured it out.
Never will read it either. Not where someone will put their real name to it.
I don’t know about an affair. A BJ or two sure. The now deleted emails were incriminating. I never understood the forced-to-tell angle. May be coke.
Boom!
Wait – Thomas Ravenel used cocaine?!?
Your sarcasm is cute. But let’s face it, Will was traveling in some questionable social circles at the time.
Sarcasm?
Colonel (R), Honey where have you been? T-Rav openly admits he used cocaine.
LMAO!!!One day he is the cape crusader for Louis Farrakahn and Al Sharpton advocating stripping SC of its flags and monuments and in a moment he allegedly turns into a mighty military militia fighting the enemy abroad while brainwashing young heads of mush at a local university.
Just screwing around – Here’s my normal description for Ol’TRav
…T-Rav” was just one incredibly proud dad … and with good reason…”
Yeah the slimy, drug dealing, FEC rule violating, scumbag is so proud that he’s just the baby daddy rather that the father. Sperm donation does not equal “daddom” Will, I thought you knew better. Ravenel is old enough to be his “squeeze’s” father (two years ago she was busted for minor in possession…) Please, please, please encourage the slimy little bastard to run so he can be publicly humiliated (again).
Where have all the real men gone – and why do we celebrate juvenile delinquents like this douche bag?
https://www.fitsnews.com/2014/06/15/christening-kensington-calhoun-ravenel/
Circles that included Nikki.
Just sayin’…
Will wasn’t traveling in her social circle. He was what we call a “hanger on”.
I believe in Mark Sanford.Does he believe Folks?
Yeah, like over half of the GOP pols in the state. And at the time, coke was a “thing” amongst the bowties and BMWs crowd.
You live in a dream world. The entire SC State House Women’s Caucus complained to the Legislative Head about Haley’s sexual exploits in the State House. Long before she ran for Governor. Will is exactly right, and only one among many Haley screwed before she started screwing the rest of us.
Rubbish! Not true.
Keep on dreaming and drinking the Kool Aid.
Can’t face the truth about your hero.
YOU drank the Kool Aid by believing that Nikki would do our friend Mr. FITS. Have you seen him? She’s hot; he’s not. And don’t get me started about that short, fat, troll Larry Marchant who wreaks of cigarette smoke.
Hey, she’s married to a short fat troll. She likes ’em.
Nikki was using them all — giving up something of herself to collect and file all those casually disclosed nuggets which later could be turned into gold. Every thing has the smell of the Indian Mafia around it, as mentioned above several times. And I still want to know what happened to that “lost” $50,000 from the bank loan to the “Temple” ……yeah!
WHOA MOM! I was told about the affair by a close friend in 2007! Why make it up? NO one knew her name back then! personally, after finding out what a backstabbing liar she is, I believe it!
You ask “Why make it up?” I ask, “Why did Marchant and Folks go to the press to tell about the alleged affair?” Since when do men make extramarital affairs public?
Maybe he’s a badass like Trump.
Be nice.Mom slapped the shit out of you yesterday.Today is a different day.
Well, you’re being a bit rough on Mamatiger. Yesterday, mamatiger and I were discussing the vast difference between “marital rape” and rape. And yes, there is a difference.
Not sure we ever broached that subject at all. We discussed double standards to the best of my recollection. Good thing, too if you are asserting that marital rape is somehow not as serious as rape.
Marital rape is covered under domestic abuse laws. Trump’s ex-wife tried to claim marital rape after he filed for divorce. We were actually talking about how she did that to get a bigger settlement.
nah. Will ain’t no badass.
…”Since when do men make extramarital affairs public?..”
It depends on how far their favorite bar is located from the place of conquest
Nowadays with all the technology I would say that in between the conquestee excusing herself to go the bathroom and returning, the conquestor probably emailed, tweeted, facebooked, snapchated, instagramed, pinterested, pathed, foursquared, nextdoored and roamzed his conquest
A local newspaper was having a best and worst of everything competition. One of the categories was “Worst Noise,” which elicited some incredible stories. People described noises such as collapsing houses, bones breaking, dogs yelping due to pain, etc. But the winning entry came from a guy who described what happened to him one night when he was sleeping with a woman he met at a bar.
They were making love in her bed, when all of a sudden her husband (who was supposed to be out of town on business) came crashing into the room and caught them in the act.
The guy said, “I couldn’t think of what to do, so I jumped out the window
in my nakedness. On my way out the window, her husband grabbed me by the balls. He had me hanging out the window by the balls, and the worst noise I’ve ever heard was him trying to open up his pocketknife with his teeth!”
When have men ever spead rumors about the hotest woman in the Legislature? Since time began. When has a loser ever falsely claimed to have had a woman out of his league? Since time began.
Lewinsky has the blue dress and willie has the passenger seat of a 1965 Volvo
Nope. Will Folks has no proof, only his word, for what that’s worth. He needs to come clean now that he is an adult now.
Will is an adult?!? When did this happen?
Good point. But he has a wife and 5 kids. He should try to act like an adult.
5 kids!?!
Hope his wife has a job, cause there’s no way this site is paying for 5 kids.
Wonder if that “libertarian” gets a little assistance from the gov’t?
Like Ayn Rand.
Appears to me Will is a respsonsible father.I give him credit for that.Nice family at least what he shares.
He must keep them the hell away from you then.
But what is he going to say when one of his kids asks him if it is true that he once had an affair with the governor and why did he try to embarrass her?
Good point.Why I said above he has to answer to his ‘maker’ and family.
True or not Nikki can’t overcome these allegations in 2016.IF she EVER had national political aspirations she had to know the allegations of the affairs would destroy her if she didn’t legally quash them.
A pubic figure can’t legally squash any rumors. Name a puplic figure who has. Dan Rather was exposed for lying about Bush’s military service, but even though it was exposed as a lie, there was no legal recourse. Absence of Malice, anything can be said about a public figure.
Why then are TWO of the athletes/ parties accused by Al Jazeera of using illegal substances suing them for defamation.
The ONLY reason you wouldn’t sue is if you had something to hide in Discovery,in my opinion.
A couple of things you should know.
1. Anyone can sue, that doesn’t mean you can win.Those athletes won’t win. One of the wives may sue if she can establish that she isn’t a public figure.
2. Lawyers will sue someone or a company with deep pockets. They may even do it for a percentage of winnings or the out of court settlement, not costing their client. Will Folks owns a website and a mortgage.
3. Another difficulty Haley would have is proving damages. Since the accusations she has experienced rising election victory margins and poll approval rates.
I guess the damages would be is the alleged affair with Folks will keep her from any serious consideration for vp-which she would never be able to prove but it’s true.
Why in the hell would you NOT think that if Bill Clinton’s affairs are fair game as the spouse of a Presidential candidate that Haley’s alleged affairs would not be fair game for a vp candidate?
Any one can make allegations. The allegations against Haley have no corroboration or physical evidence. (Pictures, witnesses or a blue dress)
The accusers have political motivation.
The accusations are also atypical.
Europe’s libel and slander rules are verrrry different.
A couple of things you should know.
1. Anyone can sue, but that doesn’t mean that you can win. The athletes will lose or drop the lawsuit. The wife may be found not to be a public figure,
2. Lawyers will only take cases when one or both sides has deep pockets. Both the athletes and Al Jazeera have deep pockets. Will Folks and Fitsnews do not have deep pockets and it is not worth the expense for Haley.
3. Haley can’t prove any damages in monetary terms. Her election victory margins and poll approval rates have only increased. Where is the damages?
You used “pubic” and “squash” in the same sentence and I just lost my appetite.
Man, I am typing at a smart phone, but I makes me dumber.
Should it be quash? I’m correcting it. I understand why you are sickened. You don’t lake squash, stewed or batter fried. Know already your penchant for anything pubic.
Fried squash is very, very good ….
Man, I am typing at a smart phone, but it makes me dumber. Is it quash? I corrected it. I understand that you don’t like squash, but you do have a penchant for anything pubic.
Not to worry, I’m not feeling well today (a bug got hold of me) and after waking up I made some tea from South America and opened up on here. I was just messing with ya!
You owe ‘Mike at the Beach’ an apology.
I have attempted a reply to your comment about athletes suing twice, but they disappeared. My connection or disqus is acting screwy. Have you seen my replies. Disque has misplaced them?
I did reply.I read both versions. :)
Nah. Mike would throw out tropes about Dabo and would not respond to my rebuttal with logic, only insults or deflection.
Ah come on now. Every hot female Politian has old wannabe lovers in the closet. I’m telling you this is a non-issue for Nikki Haley.
She really was hot when at Clemson … and adventurous…..
Tell me more, tell more…….
Was she a little – flor!!!
Perhaps Will read this guys book

“You’re a dumb shit. There’s a million first girls for a million different first things.
There’s the first girl you slow-dance with, and the first girl you go to bed
with. There’s the first girl to give you a kiss, and then the first one you
take home to mama.” His amber eyes lit up with humor.
“There’s the first girl you fight with and the first girl you fight for.
There’s also the first girl you have to let go of. There’s the first girl you
love, obviously, and the first girl to break your heart.
There’s always a first girl, Rowdy, but there is also the girl that is going to come after her until you get to the last girl.
The last girl is the one that really matters.”
I have no idea what the truth is-typically it falls somewhere in the middle on a subject like this and that is what I believe in this case.
Haley will pay a political price for not clearing this up years ago IF it is not true as voters don’t trust ANY politician today.Will only has to answer to his ‘maker’ and family.
All of it is kinda of a sad situation.
Who the fuck cares? You guys chose Newt last time.
Get real.
You keep changing your handle.
Keep an eye on em.They be shifty. :)
Not sure what that has to do with SC republicans choosing Newt during their primary in 2012 and now they seem to have problems with rumours of an affair from a potential VP candidate?
But I’m not a hypocritical dumbass, so how would I know?
She ignored it because it is nonsense.
Michael, Michael, Michael give it a rest
Everyone acknowledges your efforts to keep the Gypsy Queen on a pedestal but everyone also knows that she and McDonalds share the same fate:
Thousands and thousands have eaten and none have been satisfied
IF that were true, don’t you think we would hear about it?
But, we have, haven’t we?
who, what, when and where? Aside from the two bozo coke heads that together came out to the press that they had each had an affair with Haley.
And they were politicos. Connected to condidates in a campaign against the accused and we’re at the time losing fast to her.
See, Bible, I told you you’re smart!
I’m a little surprised at the support Haley is getting in this thread. His nonsense about Rubio affairs seems so similar. It is so easy to distinguish Fits tactics from truth now.
Will shits…mama and Boz are like flies.
Really, do you go around telling everyone when you have had bad fish
Ervin’s wife?
Nobody but you even thinks about Ervin these days. Weird. Such fixations you have.
I think that she is lower than whale manure but believing anything Folks says is out of the question.
“She once had a gown, it was almost new,
Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue,
With little forget-me-nots placed here and there,
When she had it on, oh, she walked on the air!
And it wore, and it wore, and it wore,
‘Til it went, and it wasn’t no more. “
Just tell the reporters to read your tell-all book.
Maybe we’ll be able to find it next to Trump’s next book…
“Oh Fuck. I’m A Loser!”
Trump is preparing to release this one just before the SC primary — “Hillary Rodham Clinton, Secret Surfer”
HOHOHO
Haley and the entire old guard of the Republican Party are nearly history. Living off the last of the money Jeb Bush has brought to his worthless campaign. Soon a new order under Donald Trump will remake the Republican Party and US Politics. People the 1 percenters could not buy and use as their personal puppets.
The old Bankers and Lobbyist will have new people to deal with. Most whom want them eliminated: permanently.
damned ol’ skeletons, them effers always come out at the wrong time.
Who cares if she got a some on the side? Sounds like she got a little D and then tossed it aside like a boss. Sounds like Will got his feelings hurt, like a bitch, and is trying to embarrass her. Cause frankly, he’s not exactly somebody you brag about banging. Any woman would keep that on the DL.
The last 3 Presidents have been cocaine addicts & Hillary has screwed more chicks than Will.
Obama may be an American hating ISIS loving MUhammed wannabe however I don’t believe he was ever addicted to cocaine,was he?
Read the book he allegedly wrote (Socialist) Dreams of My Father, quoting here: “…I had learned not to care. I blew a few smoke rings, remembering those years. Pot had helped, and booze;maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though—Mickey, my potentional intiator had been just a little too eager for me to go through with that….”
Oh my!
I might buy the cocaine thing but there’s no way that Ms. Pantsuit has had sex more than the one time required to pump out their spawn. Really, who’d have her? Even lesbians have better taste…
She always looks too tired for sex to me. She’s old and needs to rest up.
She sort of reminds me of that old joke about having to “roll them in flour and look for the wet spot” as well…
Better use the self rising, going need all the help you can get.
(see my reply to the colonel — above)
Do you remember the story about my Mother reusing the flour sacks to sew into underwear?
No, but my Grandmother in Alabama made shirts, shorts, etc… good marketing technique for the vendors.
I’d definitely need some help rising at the thought of that but I figure it’s already pretty “yeasty” down there.
Yuck, (hand smacking head to try to get that out).
Guess I’m passing on rolls at dinner tonight.
Yeah, I kinda grossed myself out there….
I’ve got the absolute worst horrible offensive joke about that which I will never post again, but I also hate to delete it because I may share it elsewhere….
Why in the hell would you think about Nikki and sex so much?
You act obsessed with her love life. Very creepy.
We were talking about Hillary. I know it’s hard for you, but try to pay attention and keep up with the conversation. Did you forget to take your meds today?
That’s even worse. Conservative wingnuts just can’t stop thinking about others people’s sex lives. It’s really weird.
Obsessing over a elderly grandmother’s sex life sounds pretty normal…..for a republican, nutjob voter.
Even lesbians taste better – fixed it for you.
Two lesbians were having a drink at the bar when a good-looking woman waved at them from across the room.
“Nice,” commented one. “I’d like to get between
her legs sometime soon.”
“No you wouldn’t,” said her friend disparagingly.
“She’s hung like a doughnut.”
Owwwwhhhhhh!!!!! That one a little over the top.
That was stolen from someone who posted it here but I forgot to save his name…..
Oh my!
Yeah – that one needs to be retired. I’ll have to start a file “To Be Used Only In Case Of National Emergencies”
Folks is only trying to get his name mentioned.
I have two questions. Was it true that Nikki wanted to leave her husband for Will? And what was the true nature of her relationship with her college roommate?
Why does anybody own you an answer to those questions?
Go back to TMZ, gossip queen.
Because, if a person will cheat in their personal life, they will cheat in their professional life.That’s why anybody “owns” me an answer. Go back to school.
Sad.
I will vote for trump, not tramp.
What a liar! No one has called Will because he was discredited. He’s also irrelevant because Haley was elected twice! No one cares what a Ling hack has to say.
Y’all just need to behave better in front of the national press. lol
We wonder just how far in advance Mrs Haley will have this speech to plan her GOP rebuttal…? Will she use a teleprompter or will she be able to discuss GOP counterpoints from the “heart”..! Will Haley’s prompter be bigger or smaller than the ones Hillary uses..?
Whether the affair did happen or not. A gentleman would not have made it public.
jus think she coulda been will baby momma an will could been first man
South Carolina shines again?
