Faith Getting Restored June 12, 2024 at 6:34 pm

While I still believe Presidential elections are and have been decided by someone other than the voters, at least since 1964, and that Congressional/Senate elections may likewise be rigged in many cases, yesterday has restored a bit of my faith in state and local elections.
Voters tired of the “good-ol’-gal system handed Penry Gustafson her a–. Sandy Senn is gone. Katrina Shealy and her constant bleating for more and more government involvement in our lives will be a thing of the past too, if the 60% of voters who voted against her just go vote in the runoff. This has the potential to improve the quality of state government in South Carolina, noticeably.

Please voters, keep it up!

We are representativeRepublic, not a representativedemocracy!

It is very obvious the government education system is working!

When & why did they stop teaching civics? I suppose it was when they stopped teaching!

Why is the government afraid of school choice?

Parents need to wake up!

We are a Democratic Republic and a Representative Democracy. You people are so stupid. You would flunk third-grade civics.

An important thought wasn’t mentioned in that (great) article. SC is so top-heavy with transplanted, and especially recently transplanted people, who think we are the greatest state ever, and aren’t in tune with our states politics – they feel no reason to participate in state, local, but especially local primary elections. Transplanted seniors participate some, but transplanted young’uns, not at all…
