I decided long ago never to give advice in matters of religion, marriage, or politics — because I don’t want someone’s torments in this world or the next blamed on me.

She accepted the task because she was stupid.

You should read the national news reports on Haley. They like her and so do voters outside of SC. Her slapping down the flag, alone, will get her far nationally. Most American voters love seeing bigots get there asses handed to them and she did that in the heart of bigot country. She know how to play the game, for sure.

Why don’t you stop with the blatant lies and distortions. You are now reduced to repeating the same drivel for several fitness articles. You said the same thing several days ago and cited the same poll. At that time it was brought to your attention that the poll consisted of register republican voters outside of South Carolina. Predictably, you didn’t respond as your attempted deception was exposed. So now, you repost the same shit only this time you added “South Carolina Republicans” to avoid getting slapped again for your intellectual dishonesty.
It didn’t work, moron.

Here is a suggestion, instead of thumping your Bible , try opening and reading it, especially the Ten Commandments, particularly “Thou shall not lie”, you sanctimonious, ignorant piece of shit.

I apologize for not responding to the reply about whether the poll was of South Carolinians or not. I assumed most people would know that claim was false. Here is the link and the relevant excepts.
http://www.winthrop.edu/winthroppoll/default.aspx?id=9804

TOP LINE:
Current Findings
December 2015 Winthrop Poll of SC Republican Presidential Primary Likely Voters.

New York tycoon Donald Trump, 24%

BELOW THIRD HEADING:
President Barack Obama, 93% disapprove
Congress, 85% disapprove
S.C. Governor Nikki Haley, 81% approve, 84% approval among Tea Party supporters

Huffmon noted, “While some had speculated that Governor Haley’s stand on the Confederate Flag this summer might hurt her with the Republican base, her approval of the S.C. GOP core – likely Republican voters – is as strong, or stronger, than ever.”

The bible does tell us not to lie, but it is not in the Ten Commandments.
Leviticus 9:11 — ‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

The ninth commandment:
Exodus 20:16 — You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You called me a liar, moron, and a piece of shit, but what is really offensive is that you called me sanctimonious.

Other parts of the state use the port of Savannah including a tire plant and there was no direct bribe. No one at the SCSPA objected to what she did.

Some people wanted to use DHEC for Charleston’s advantage for reasons that had nothing to do with protection of health or environment. That’s cronyism.

The Corps of Engineers would have overruled Haley if she tried to stop the deepening of Savannah harbor anyway.

I’ve gotten used to Fitsnews amateur style of writing. Nine question marks is more than enough. Brian Hicks opinion piece for the only had three, but that is the only compliment I can make.

Haley makes a polite speech suggesting that we tone down the rhetoric, but according to Fitnews, and some “media” conservatives, she compared Trump to Dylann Roof. Hyperbole, right??? (That’s my quota for questionmarks.)

Brian Hicks replies with more name calling of them. His message is not likely to be received very well when you call people “NUTS, RACIST, IMMATURE, BRATTY.”

Let’s be clear. Nikki Haley doesn’t welcome Brian Hicks praise. It’s the kind of high pitched rhetoric she opposes.

Corncobs – yep! On my Granddad’s farm in Alabama (my Mom’s birthplace) the outhouse was always reliable. Even though there was no inside water or electricity there were plenty of catalogues. My Dad always joked about the days when the Sears catalog arrived in the mail — he would grab it and head for the bathroom (I don’t think that my Mom thought it was funny).

partial samples of outhouse poems —

ELVIS IS IN OUR OUTHOUSE

Big’un likes playin’ the banjo in the outhouse
He thinks that he’s Elvis out there
Granny plays her flattop on the front porch
Where she can git lots of fresh air

Sometimes I fiddle in front of the fire
While Shooter plays a tune on the jug
Eunice will git a rhythm goin’ on the bones
Rockin’ in her chair on the rug
———-
GRANNY AND THE HAUNTED OUTHOUSE

A woodpecker started peckin’ on the outhouse door
While Granny was settin’ out there.
She kept yelling, “Wait just a minute!
Wait just a minute and I’ll be out of h’yar!”

But that bird kept peckin’ and Granny kept yellin’.
The boys were just rolling on the ground

You have jolted my memory. I remember, as a kid, the neighbors about one half mile down the street had a two-holer outhouse. My parents always donated the catalogs to them that were mailed to us after they finished ordering what we needed. I guess that is a part of Americana that is gone, thank goodness. The first public school I attended had out outhouses.
A two-holer, who would ever want to go with someone else?

There was a rootin’-tootin’ cowboy who sashayed to the outhouse in back of the saloon. He heard a noise coming from inside, so he look down the hole. Sure as shootin’, there was an old Indian looking back up. The cowboy offered him
a hand and said, “Poor fellah. How long
have you been stuck down there in that awful hole?”

The Indian answered sadly, “Many moons.”

It’s interesting at this moment to remember how many things have developed and changed in our lifetimes.

My Mom was the youngest of 10 kids and Granddad had built the new outhouse (yes, a 2-holer) in the interim before I was born. So when we would visit from Chattanooga and the time came when I was just able to walk and “do my business” on my own I couldn’t get up on the “shelf”.
Granddad said wait and he came back with a hatchet and chopped a slit in the floor in the corner.

It was a big moment when I could finally climb up on the shelf even though my butt was still too small for the hole so I had to hold myself on the self with both hands to keep from falling in. My Granddad then added comic books to the big stack between the holes.

Sort of strange as I write this how one’s memories can be unlocked. All this was just normal life as I was growing up.

I think the fact that Nikki Haley was chosen to give SOTU response or address as she terms it was all a set up. It was all set up so that Nikki Haley would indeed call out Donald Trump for his “tone” and Nikki Haley would get out of this world attention. Then Trump and Haley would kiss and make up and Haley would agree to be Donald Trump’s running mate or his VP candidate. Haley is not near as gullible as everybody thinks when it comes to getting her way.

Nikki isn’t dumb. The other possibility is she knows Trump may win the nomination but he is an anomaly. If he won the Presidency, he is only around 4 or 8 years. The establishment Republicans are not going away and casting her lot with them leads to a longer career. Whether that is a senate run, lobbying position or some other sweetheart position. Which would be more of a sure deal than Trump. Saw Demint praising her the other night on TV and look where he is now. Making a million up in DC.

Nikki Haley is certainly smarter than Native Ink. She knows what accusations are true or false and the false accusations make her a more compelling candidate.

What makes Haley so successful against her enemies is that they don’t care whether the accusations they make are true or false or that the voters don’t expect their leaders to be perfect in the “everything can be said on the internet” and anything goes campaign finance rules. There is not anything of significance that is known now that was not known before her 2014 reelection and if anything the narional media is more solicitous than the state media.

By the way, if Haley is VP nominee, she doesn’t have to win to rise to the top of Republican party leadership. Paul Ryan is Speaker of the House and he lost.

— in exchange for the release of seven Iranians held by the United States for sanctions violations, the officials confirmed.

In your liberal Obama/haley loving deranged mind I am sure the release of the 4-5 hostages had nothing to do with the ‘nuke’ deal and unfreezing of assets TODAY.

You liberals are just so predictable.

Trump was responsible for the release of the Americans held by Iran, because he said so.

Just like Reagan…however in this case Iran just wanted its nukes to destroy Israel and the 150 BILLION.

Look for other countries to hold hostages and follow suit.

Iran Contra. Reagan sells arms to Iran for prisoners. Bush then pardons 6 convicted of lying about the arms deal.

Oh.You also lied.Some were CONVICTED criminals in our court system. Others were awaiting trial.

The White House acknowledged Saturday that the prisoner exchange with Iran that included Washington Post reporter Jason Razaian was connected to the international nuclear deal with Tehran but that it was also was just a “one-time-only” situation that will not open the door to prisoner swapping between the rival nations.

“…and if anything the narional media is more solicitous than the state media.”
That’s because, if you read and pay attention to the national MSM political press, you know that they have a couple of unicorns and they are a ‘bipartisan’ Republican and a conservative Democrat.
That’s why they loved John McCain when he was a maverick, and Lindsey Graham and Bob Corker, too. Democrat Joe Manchin, too.
They loved Chris Christie for a few years. But, they don’t seem to understand governors too well and are not good at evaluating their successes and failures.
So, if Trikki seems more rational and accommodating than the GOP crazies, it will take her a ways with the national political press.

We as voters are tired of being silent as politicians like Haley attempt to keep us quiet while they pillage our hard earned money. Angry voices is an understatement. We will be heard and heard very loudly during this election and replace career politicians like Haley who don’t have a clue of what the working people are being made to sacrifice while they live in their self serving fantasy land off our us.

Haley has slapped down or more often simply quietly beaten her vehement critics time and time again and then risen in stature. Hate her or love her or don’t care, the trend seems pretty clear. And even if the viler accusations were true, how would they in any way disqualify her in today’s GOP?

Nikki Haley only cares about Nikki Haley.
Donald Trump only cares about Donald Trump.
Barack Obama only cares about Barack Obama.

That’s what meaningless rhetoric sounds like. It says nothing. It’s empty, void, nothing that can be said about anyone and not add enlightenment to anyone or any subject.

The difference is we now have a leader who was raised among Muslims and mentored by Communists.
Obama just traded 5 of ours for 14 of theirs, and they still hold two more of ours. It is impossible to not come to the conclusion that Obama just doesn’t consider Iran and other radical Muslims as a threat.

Hicks said he wishes Haley’s critics would be more like Obama—wrong about Michael and Trayvon

Sitting in Jeremiah Almost-Wright’s church hating everyone white like that’s a moral magic wand

Appointing black racist Attorneys General who will NOT prosecute felons just because they’re black

And like knee-jerking opportunists like Haley herself who’d sell her grandma’s jugular and crack

To get a VP slot because all she’s got is her gutless record of ripping down patriots’ flag with NO vote

Because if Haley’s critics were like that they’d be like him—a spineless, UNAmerican Dimwit goat !!!

Since Fits used the term “Clemsoning” against the Tiger basketball team, they have gone 5 – 0, in 2016. That’s five consecutive ACC teams, three consecutive ranked teams, two of them top ten. They are now 5 – 1 and all alone at second place in the ACC.

Thank you, Fitsnews.

I used to work at the P & C. It is just not the outlet it used to be. They are slavish to those in power, have some new staff which happily fall into the “liberal media” category, and seem immune to intelligent criticism.

There was a time when the P & C would back the outsider or the underdog. Not anymore, so what is the point of it?

Haley is like all high-level Republicans. They make nice in public, then behind closed doors they are vengeful, malicious bastards. They don’t use words, like Trump, to attack their political enemies, they use tax supported, government institutions to destroy their opponents.

High level republicans are hypocrites. I know because I was one but now am thankfully retired. God, I am glad I am out of that state government pitt.

“The loudest faction of the base is often immature and selfish, stomping around like bratty kids when they don’t get their way,” he wrote. “They don’t like reason – they get it all their way or they hold everything ransom.”
So the conservatives are like the feminazis who carry mattresses around campus for their false “rape” claims, or the BLM protestors who rally in the middle of the streets because that’s a sure fire way to gain respect and equality? Or they are like the occupy wallstreet safe space crybaby’s who are upset that they can’t get a six figure job with their liberal arts gender studies degree? Please enlighten me on how conservatives are anything like those three groups who cry, scream and demand respect but don’t do anything respectful to deserve our undivided attention?
