Ethics and Morals be damned April 23, 2013 at 7:21 pm

Having worked there for a few years and spent time in Washington there are very few wo are ethical!
I’ve seen, to my disgust, the corruption and immorality, which is rampant!
The Countey and the State are being short changed and run into the ground. Few can say anything about it, 90% are involved in the corruption and condone it.
He who makes the rules wins!

Sheheen is right! We need to “Scrap” the entire state govt., appoint delegates from each county, draft a new constitution and start over. It’s so broken and dysfunctional to the point that I honestly believe it’s beyond repair.

The sad part is that WE keep sending these bastards back to Columbia year after year simply because of a “R” behind their name. They are not worthy of our trust! They are living off of our sweat, cutting every deal they can to hustle a dollar at our expense, Don’t forget the retirement and Insurance they steal on the way out!

Usual pedantic FITS crap from high school writer interns. “Legislators should stop policing themselves”????? Really? And I pronounce we should all grow wings and fly to Mars!!

As long as citizens embrace the status quo paradigm that government officials operate autonomously from citizens, gov officials enjoy unlimited license to be corrupt. Government officials will never give up their self interest, their income, and the power that feeds their bloated egos, to reform themselves. And most citizens don’t do anything but complain. So this is status quo

TRY, at least, to make your pronouncements seem like more than high school sophistry. Like SCPC. I blasted Landess for theirs. http://thenerve.org/news/2013/04/16/Landess-column/ At least they spent more than two minutes.

Kat, you’re starting to sound like Big T with your “I can do it better than you can” – isms. You can at least string a sentence together, though. I’m sure Landess valued your voluminous input as well. T’s got you beat on succinctness, though. Rambling is also a characteristic of “high school sophistry.”

FITS is like the old, Cranky dude, who sits on his front porch and B!*t*ches and moans about the Rascally Wee-Publicans…When FITS’ hey-day, his only claim to fame, came from a guy who claimed to be a Wee-Publican..They are the same guys (FITS and Sanford) who turned out to be the party’s Biggest Embarrassment, ever…

FITS, A guy who gets his @$$ kicked at every turn is bad enough..but wen you have not figured out you’re losiing…bad turns to pathetic…

Still, like Wile E. Coyote…I’m sure you’ll show up again tomorrow, Acme Anvil in hand…ready to drop it on the imaginary GOP demons you blame for you and Sanford’s fall from grace….

What about the AG?!?!?! April 24, 2013 at 12:10 am

So can’t help but notice, you made quite the effort to
mention every person and ethics “scandal” you could … except the one that is
probably the biggest (and probably the only one where actual law breaking took
place) … Attorney General Alan Wilson?!?!?

What was it, he admitted to secretly pocketing and not
reporting 12 to 15 checks?

Oh, wait … no. It was
actually 68 checks he tried to hide!
Well, that we know of, and there is probably a LOT more we don’t know
about … yet.

Where’s the Grand Jury being called to investigate Alan
Wilson?!?!?! Why isn’t he in hand cuffs
right now?!?!?!

Here is the real white wash … So, how much is Alan paying
you FITS to not mention his real crime along with all the bogus ones you keep
mentioning.

What, everybody else is guilty, but dear Alan only made a simple
accounting error?!?!!?

FITS is Really Dropping the Ball…

Sanford in BIG Trouble. He has changed his story…If FITS Really wants to DO politics, he should be all over the Sanford -Busch race. If Sanford loses, it’s so many story lines. Same is true if he wins.
If he loses, it’s the Collapse of a silver-spooned guy who NEVER lost. Also: What about The taking of TIM SCOTT’s seat (A Staunch BigT Conservative) by a democrat in a GOP state, under a HORRIBLE democrat president….

What about (self-called independent) FITS’ prostitution of himself for a Corrupt, Career politician? What about Sawyer being sullied AGAIN by Sanford’s slimy actions…..

People all over SC are talking Sanford..and FITS has all but dropped his benefactor’s news. A desperate Sawyer sends out a press release every hour…Bad, Bad posture for the Sensational, Scandal gobbling FITS…
