Only in the koo koo krazy world of Fits is James Smith “far left”.

Please, don’t start demonizing Bernie Sanders or “socialized medicine.” That issue should be scientifically and objectively debated.
If only Bernie Sanders were opposed to abortion, he would be a Catholic saint although he is a non-practicing Jew. But he is opposed to the death penalty; and that makes him in some way pro-life.
Curiously, if Pope Francis were running for judge in South Carolina, do you think your Republicans should vote for him?

James Smith is indeed from the far left of the Dem party.
For Republicans to place him in a judgeship is a slap in the face to all republican voters.
We don’t ask for political litmus test. but surely a Leftwing politician turned judge is a bad idea.
The Republican leadership is anything but Republican Leadership.

Not that I endorse the Democrat Party and its push to give fadist teenagers hormones that will harm them later; BUT I once asked on this website what do Republicans really stand for? Half-naked girls who hate foreigners? And the only answer I received was “that’s a unifying message.”
Really, what do those who call themselves Republicans stand for?
Social values? Their current idol is three-times married, twice divorced, and cheated even on the incomparable Melania. His adult male sons, too, are on their second wives or their second girlfriends.
And BTW, with the Trump shift in the party, “the base” really wants some form of abortion while remaining sanctimonious about it. The trailer-park new Republicans really want abortions and probably had lots of them, which explains why abortion bans failed in at least two red states which put the matter to popular vote.
Before leaving this point, life begins at fertilization, which is even earlier than conception (the implantation of the fertilized ovum in the endometrium). So, even IUDs are forms of abortion; and “heartbeat bills” are not really pro-life because life begins MUCH earlier than the detectability of a heart beat.
Back to the Republicans and what are they really for.
Business? Free market? Not really. The new “base” want and take government subsidies as much their neighbors. They are just paranoid about others getting a piece of the dole.
Strong defense? Not really. The demographics of the new Republican “base” does not sign up for the military as the old base did.
I really need to know where you want “the Republican leadership” to lead its base if not towards half-naked girls who hate foreigners.

I’ll take this decent, honest, bright, civic-minded, experienced, family-man who volunteered to defend this country in Afghanistan over any of the right wing nut cases who FITS seems to prefer.

Right on Will. Keep it up, and get the word out far and wide.
At the rate that people keep moving here from heavily Blue states, plus the Uniparty’s failure to represent their constituents, South Carolina will resemble Northern Virginia before long.

Because I have no more free articles left this month, and because articles like this one strengthen my resolve to NOT subscribe to FITSNews, I need to post here my comment on FITSNews’ latest Week-in-Review, specially now that Ron DeSantis has just dropped out.
But before I do, three more things:
(1) DeSantis cannot be Trump’s VP pick because the Constitution requires the President and the Vice President to be from different states; and Trump has officially made himself a Floridian more than two years ago.
(2) Those South Carolina politicians DeSantis has gathered to attack Haley must now have much egg on their face. I always knew that “southern gentleman” BS was code for incompetent white male who feels most threatened by a female of some color. And parenthetically, Nikki needs some color, not melanin but hemoglobin. She is getting too thin and pale for her own good. A little self-care, Nikki! Learn from Simone Biles; but do not take a whole season, just a week between Nevada and South Carolina.
(3) Not that I support “corporatism” or war hawks. But isn’t a corporation BASICALLY a mom-and-pop business which “grew up”? The differences between FITSNews and FOX News are the generation and the size; but each started as a small LOCAL news operation
Now to my post on WIR:
Why should Nikki Haley drop out if she does not win New Hampshire, or even South Carolina for that matter?
It’s a great big country out there; and not all of it thinks like Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina.
Heck! Not even Georgia or North Carolina thinks like South Carolina.
The REAL math: Nikki Haley can rout Trump if you add the blue bicoastals (they have Republicans, too, but of a different kind) and even some of the OTHER heartland.
“First in the South” does NOT mean “first AND LAST in the South.”
If Mahatma Ghandi had given up the first time the British refused to evacuate India, India would still have been a British colony today.
You guys do not understand immigrant perseverance.

Can anyone provide info on SC Family Court Judge White? He has a gray man bun that worries me, and he holds my future under his gavel in my divorce. I have become sorta famous for my conservative Mighty Motors signs, and I am definitely a target for liberals. Is he a liberal? Somebody must know…

Call me at 803-684-3007, Mighty Motors. $ reward for useful information. My ass is at the mercy of a questionable, possibly biased Judge that might fit this category and I am worried that I can no longer trust SC government.

One who supports big government, no ID voting, abortion and is against self defense, the US Constitution and freedom of speech but votes in the Republican side is just a liar afraid of being himself.
Nicky Haley is not for the good of America neither is Biden nor judge James Smith they hide their intentions because they hate America.
We need more families to produce many more great children.
