What a freaking joke. So Congressional seats are passed down to survivors like money?
His repeated re-election was also a joke…he spent more time in Israel, DC & Ukraine than in SC.
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”-Mencken
The original democracy used “sortition” and I’d wager if we went back to it we’d get better results.
Yes, this actually happens quite often but it’s usually a spouse. This might be the right thing to do. Let her finish the term then those who crave power can all run for the seat without one of them being an “incumbent”.
While I’m not crazy about this, there is historical precedent for this [surviving spouse/adult child/family member completing a tail end of a congressional term]. The bigger question is whether she is just going to finish it out and come back home or if she wants to run for the next term as well. I guess we will know the answer to that question in the days to come.
This has got to be killing Joe Wilson; rising through the ranks as a state legislator to congressman, and then from a congress Rep to succeeding a dying or retiring senator is the old-school “paying your dues” tradition that has been largely observed in this state. He can’t do it because the majority in the House is too razor- thin. Alan is locked in to become Governor – but anyone with a political brain knows being a US Senator from SC holds far more power and influence than being governor in SC. Prolly killin’ him too.
Well done.
Mrs. Nordone shares half her brother’s genes and probably much of his environmental risk factors for coronary artery disease.
So, she and her staff should resist the knee jerk reflex to dismiss this as if it were about me, as is everything I, God willing and FITS permitting, post on this outlet.
It is NEVER about me as me.
It is about my self-assigned efforts to spread science, preventive thinking, and real justice, and my courageous zeal to expose hypocrisy in politics, courts, and even Medicine.
My efforts are payments of debts, not to this country, but to God for the unique intellect He gave me, to my parents for the exquisite upbringing they gave me, and to my teachers in/from three continents.
But to some, it is more important to insult and discredit Dr. Marie Faltas than to take even literal life-saving ideas from her.
Get to the point, Marie, get to the point!
The point is: EVERY middle aged and older person with a medical and/or family history of, and/or risk factors for, coronary artery disease MUST get a prescription for sublingual nitroglycerine prn and ALWAYS, I mean always, carry on their person a vial of unexpired, undegraded-by-light-or-heat, NITROGLYCERINE SL “tabletitules” (they ARE tiny) when out doors. For home, every such person MUST, I mean must, have a vial in an unlit, non-humid, corner of every room, and outside every kitchen and bathroom because these rooms are inevitably warm and humid.
And every such person should learn his/her own harbingers of imminent coronary artery problems AND the discipline of not using sublingual nitroglycerine willy-nilly or else it loses its efficacy.
Nitroglycerine, sublingual or otherwise, would NOT have prevented Senator Graham’s aortic dissection IF that was the true cause of his death. BUT it COULD HAVE given him more time for until EMS’ arrival IF it was a coronary artery disease of the native arteries in the native heart like that which took the life of the senator’s father. (“Native” here means the one born with, not transplanted; it does NOT mean “Native American,” although, of course, this advice is good for every race.)
