FORMER LITE GOV MULLING ANOTHER CAMPAIGN?
Former two-term S.C. lieutenant governor Andre Bauer came up short in his bid for governor in 2010 … and also in his bid for the U.S. Congress in 2012.
Many believed his political career was over after those defeats …
Is it, though?
Bauer’s website – AndreBauer.com – appears to be prepped for an upcoming campaign. In fact, the newly-designed website’s reference to Bauer being “born in the Holy City of Charleston, South Carolina” could signify his intention to compete in this year’s “Republican” primary election for the South Carolina first congressional district.
That seat is currently held by former S.C. governor Mark Sanford – who won it in a special election in 2013 (and then promptly surrendered it to the “Republican” leadership in Washington, D.C.).
The notorious “Luv Gov” – whose insufferable personal life has continued to rear its ugly head since he won the seat – has already drawn one challenger, S.C. Rep. Jenny Horne of Dorchester County, S.C.
Will Bauer make it two?
Bauer was in a position to win the race for South Carolina’s seventh congressional district four years ago, but a late endorsement by S.C. governor Nikki Haley swung the race in favor of fiscally liberal Horry County politician Tom Rice.
Rice also quickly surrendered his seat to the “Republican” establishment.
This website was exceedingly harsh on Bauer during his tenure as lieutenant governor. Perhaps unfairly so. In recent years, however, we’ve come to respect him as an adept businessman and quick study when it comes to policy issues.
He’ll need to apply both of those skills in the event he wants to pull off a successful return to the political arena.

This douche bag has more zip codes than the post office!
I wish that he would get one in Alaska.
He’s about as sincere and politically grounded as your boy Trump. And he rolls with Jay Specter… Puhleeze!
fits, you get this chance to be important every four years, as of today, you could give Barnie Frank lessons on how to blow it.
I’m not sure who the bigger joke is, Andre “stray cats” Bauer, Jenny “Jefferson Davis” Horne or Mark “the luv gov” Sanford. If we have to have one off them, I’d keep Marky Mark.
Mark’s definitely the tallest midget in that circus…not much choice other than to hang on to him until a sane person decides to run against him. Hasn’t happened yet.

Show me a Lt. Gov. who has ever amounted to anything?
Earl Morris…criminal
Mike Daniel….failure, unethical, loser
Nick Theodore…empty grinning suit, loser
Ken Ard….Ethics violator, criminal loser
Bob Peeler…adulterer, home wrecker, amoral, unethical loser
Andre Bauer….juvenile, unethical failure, total loser
Brantley Harvey…?
Nancy Stevenson…?
Why did you leave out racist country club, bandwagon Trumpster, Henry McMaster?
Warm body, Yancey Magill.
Play Confederate soldier, Glenn McConnell.
There are so many cretins who’ve been Lt. Gov, could not remember all. You are correct with your 3 additions. Thanks
It is interesting that the last eleven Lt. governors have not become governors. John West was the last in 1971.
Don’t forget drunk when talking about Bauer. What was his blood alcohol level when the infamous plane crash occurred?
Don’t forget their Chiefs of Staff either. Mark Plowden (McMaster’s CoS) got a DUI last year, didn’t lose his job, and is still collecting a six figure government paycheck.
‘infamous plane crash occurred?’ — You didn’t hear it from me: Andre forgot to release the hand brake …..
He has a ton of baggage and an ego just as large.
Jesus Christ, talk about a piece of shit that just will not stop stinking
Born in the Holy City of Charleston, South Carolina my lily white ass – more like spawned in Hell by the devil himself
“This website was exceedingly – and perhaps unfairly – harsh on Bauer during his tenure as lieutenant governor”
Damn fits, talk about sucking the white man’s dick, why don’t you leave the wife and kids, move back to the Lowcountry and shack up with the Fuckin’ Cockroach
Don’t hold back, man…it’s not healthy.
Andres’ back……………………….Woopee-Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not that I give a big blue rat’s ass either way……………………
What is the invoice on a flip flop re- introduction puff piece? Must be pretty good bucks to get all these rotten cabbages thrown at you.
You 3 idiots(Idioduncr,ColFlake and Tazpuss) couldn’t pick the right candidate in an election if Jesus told ya who to vote for.At least Bush was honest and raised his hand that he is a Democrat.
You need to stop harassing these people, they have done nothing wrong.
Go to hell and enjoy the hack fest woman beater.
Enough of his degenerate shit. Why even cover this faggot? Last time I saw him he had two whores on his arms at Tinroof.
Is that bad? I mean, uh, yeah…that bastard!
Was your wife looking over your shoulder?
Andre is straight. I will diss him all day long for his bad deeds, but it’s just stupid to call him a faggot.
Is he straight because when he’s doing gay sex on you, you think of yourself as a girl?
Facts are that Bauer’s and Gresham Barrett’s association with Will Folks lies about Haley have destroyed all three’s political careers. You can cheat on your wife and lie about it like Sanford, but you can’t be part of a conspiracy to accuse a woman of adultery.
By the way, Andre, how did that Huckaby endorsement work out?
Haley never proved what Will said was false.Haley was just lucky Folks is apparently despised by most or her political life would have ended.
When those accusations surfaced, Haley’s career blasted off. She didn’t even have to disprove them. As long as she is a victim, it works in her favor.
The only place Haley’s detractors can be heard are Fitsnews and liberal media.
Hate to tell ya but I attended two political fundraisers yesterday in south Florida and she is NOT well liked and is unacceptable as a vp candidate,In Tallahassee and Pensacola today and will report back to ya.
Who is acceptable?
IKE.
I like Ike.
I went to college with Andre.SMH
That third-rate carnival barker doesn’t have a prayer against Horne. First he’s is from Charleston, then he’s from Newberry (Senate seat), then back to Charleston, then Myrtle Beach, and now back to Charleston, flipping houses like a madman. He has no brain, no class, and no future in politics.
Oh, give him some credit. He also flips failing furniture stores.
No one challenging Sanford in the Republican primary has the chance of a snowball in global-warming-Hell unless they are also opposed to seismic testing and drilling for oil and gas off the South Carolina coast. Sanford has seen the light on this issue, as his constituents have made clear.
I would not hit a hog in the ass with either on of those guys. Screw whether or not Bauer has become Will’s kind of “conservative,” or whether or not he’s an astute businessman He’s a crass, self-serving, manipulative, underhanded, crooked, corrupt P.O.S. And a cheap one, too. Having worked on his behalf, with/for his abysmally dishonest and borderline evil close business and political associate, convicted felon dirty trickster Jay Specter, I know whereof I speak.
The obsession with absolute fidelity to unrealistic and unattainable “libertarian” values is what keeps this site from truly living up to its potential. It’s at its best when it exposes true corruption, graft, nepotism. and malfeasance in office — no matter what kind of ideological or partisan bullshit the perps profess to follow.
Bauer having anything to do with Boz should give everyone a good reason to conclude Bauet is not fit for public service, in my opinion.
And there you have it. lol
Buz Martin. There you go again. Just because you must be low on benefits you are taking it on Andre Bauer. Like Donald Trump says let’s make American great again! It is people like Andre Bauer that will help Donald Trump do that. Not low life good for nothing scum bags like you and your buddy.
What is this, “Whack-a-Mole”, or as Jim Lewis would probably call it, “Whack-a-Roach”? These slimeballs mercifully disappear, then resurface a few years later.
Andre is crooked as a snake. I understand that when he had his airplane crash, ruled pilot error by the FAA, he tried to sue the owner of the plane for his injuries. He is not well liked in parts of Newberry County because of the shameless manufactured allegations he helped push on a popular local Magistrate so one of Andre’s Merry Men could take that office over.
That said, I would almost be tempted to vote him over Cryin, Snot-blowing, Mark or Lying, Weeping, Jenny. At least he’d be a fresh crook in that seat until the next “choice” between a turd and a piece of shit comes along in two more years.
All that said, if I lived in the First Congressional District, I would be tempted to petition the government to delete that seat due to a chronic lack of viable candidates running for it.
Yeah, I know, and you are right. I have no room to talk since Joe Wilson is the “best” we’ve been able to do in forever. Maybe I need to start that petition.
Bauer got three speeding tickets while lt governor-the last one he was doing over 100 mph in I 77. The hubris he showed by believing that he was exempt from the laws that the rest of us must abide by should disqualify him from any other public office.
Ummmmm…Kemosabe…let’s see now…in this corner we have
Sure-I-Left-My-Wife-And-Four-Sons-Mark Sanford himself
Lied through his RINO teeth about it of course and proved
himself to be just ANOTHER libertarian Lilliputian elf
And in this corner we have Jenny-Sure-I’ll-Sell-My-Grandma’s-Jugular-For-An-Office-Horne waxing hypocrite on the flag
Who if the truth be known should go ahead and light up two
big batons and find the devil himself and go play…tag
And in this corner we have Andre-Sure-I-Keep-ILLEGAL-Video-Poker-Machines-In-My-Warehouses-Bauer, too
Who like Lexington County’s almost “new” and old sheriffs
and Raghead wants to give voters a real good you know…
Finally in this corner we have the First District’s voters
who if corn were an enema would make very good shuckers
Because we KNOW they no doubt elected all of the above or
wanted to and make perpetual all-day dumb-azz suckers !!!
Of the three, Sanford is the least objectionable.
Anyone but that lying sellout cuckservative bitch Jenny Horne.
