Greenville news gives Kevin Bryant a thumbs down

Now if they could only give him a ticket out of the statehouse!

Thumbs Down: Blog stirs up controversyThumbs Down to state Sen. Kevin Bryant of Anderson for his over-the-top blog posting that, to borrow words from some Democrats, was "classless" and "tasteless." The Republican freshman senator stirred up controversy with a picture that roughly compared terrorist leader Osama bin Laden and presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The two are featured facing each other, along with their names and the childish comment that the difference between them "is just a little B.S." Bryant took the picture off his blog but continued to link to it. Blogs can get rough sometimes, but Bryant associates his with his official elected duties, even thanking visitors for "visiting the Legislature's first blog." That makes this offense even worse.

Old Man yells at cloud

Has anyone but me noticed how many times McCain blinks. Seriously... the old dude blinks way too much.


Hey come to think of it in college I learned that when people blink a lot they are lying hmmmmm...

Presumptive Nominee Barack Obama

Ladies and Gentleman the next President of the United States... Barack Obama

Congress says Sandford Shmanford

How far out of touch is potential veep Sandford? In his ongoing effort to screw the poor, Sanford veto'd health insurance for children. He also veto's legal aid to the poor - unfortunately for Sandford this was overturned today 113-0, yes 113-0... to NOTHING

He rolled around the upstate Monday with other elected Rebubbacans speaking in support of his veto's, but hmmm seems congress didn't get the word.

McCain Dirty Tricks

Recently on my stops into HRC's land (the Hillblazer blog) I have noticed several posts telling people NOT to vote independant in the Fall election, that they needed to vote for McCain to make certain Obama loses. I have thought all along that a lot of the anger is spurred by rouge Republicans seeking to cause mischief.

Here is a copy of an alledged leaked memo posted I came across on Digg

So much for doing away with old way of doing things...

Gov. Sanford "busted" by The State

The State completely busts Potential VP canidate Sanford using some underhanded tactics

At a news conference last month, about a dozen State House candidates gathered to unveil a four-point pledge to change the way state government operates by lowering spending, changing the way judges are selected and passing ethics reform.
The pledge, they said, was modeled on the Contract With America that the GOP used to take control of Congress in the mid-1990s.
“I started kicking these ideas around and thought it might make sense to put them down in writing,” said Tom Davis, the former chief of staff to Gov. Mark Sanford, who is running for state Senate in Beaufort County.
The signers’ June 10 primary opponents say they were never offered a chance to review or sign the pledge, and skeptics say the contract is more evidence of a stealthy, coordinated effort to elect like-minded candidates by groups loyal to Sanford and funded by out-of-state money.

Oppsies... caught playing in the dirt Mr Sanford?
