Does it really matter if Leatherman is Senate Pres? We’re fucked regardless.
C’est vrai …
Hey Larry, casse-toi!
FIRE GROOMS! He has proven he is only a “conservative” when it benefits him. Votes for liberal budget. Voted to re-elect liberal Toal. He doesn’t care to be our senator. Every time an office opens up, he runs for it (Congress, Governor, etc.).
Hell, FITS, he could remain a “back-bencher” with little or no influence. Most men of any substance aren’t interested in sitting on the sidelines like eunochs.
Looks like your man has learned how to win friends and influence others, commonly known as successful politicking.
— interesting concept, dealing with the opposition. I don’t think it’s been tried in SC since the mid-80s. I hope it’ll work out for him.
“Hell, FITS, he could remain a “back-bencher” with little or no influence.”
Yep, that’s what it’s all about. Influence and its associated power.
“Unlimited power!” as Palpatine says.

Maybe Larry should consider becoming a Christian.
God, your rhetoric is so over the top all the time. It’s so obnoxious; not everything is the “END OF LIBERTY”.
Looks like Sanford is scared of getting his @$$ kicked, down the line. Trying to damage his challenger, beforehand.
I knew Grooms should have stomped out that worthless piece of $#!* when it would have been a slam dunk…Sanford is DISGUSTING…
Um, GT? Grooms ran in the 1st congressional district GOP primary, and lost to Sanford. I’m no fan of Sanford, but the fact remains, Grooms tried to beat him, and failed. Get your facts straight.
We haven’t found out what Grooms got for voting for Toal yet as a favor to Harrell. He didn’t do it for nothing, that’s for sure.
Leatherman has made promises to Kevin Bryant and Ray Cleary. One gets a subcommittee chairmanship and the other gets a boatload of money for his district.
These Senators see their honor rather cheaply.
I have found Grooms to be a not particularly bright individual who frequently sounds shrill as he blows off on subjects that he seems to have little knowledge of.I never knew he was considered a “reformer.”
Grooms is a reformer? LOL. I only hear him speak up when it’s time for him to support another pork barrel project. Remember when he called up the S.C. DOT board (an executive agency completely out of his purview) and told them to back down on a vote to kill the I-526 boondoggle? What a reformer.
There were four members of the subcommittee: McGill (vacated), Grooms (14 years on Finance), Paul Campbell (2 years on Finance), and newly elected Democrat Kent Williams (<1 year on Finance). Grooms had been on the subcommittee for over a decade and Campbell didn't want the position. There was no deal cut.
Are you saying the position should have gone to the Democrat Kent?
