P&C | Conspiracy theories running wild

“Remarkably, Nikki Haley survived and even prospered in the midst of two allegations of marital infidelity. Despite all the smoke, voters either decided there was no fire, or they preferred not to acknowledge the fire because it was started by two male cads. … Haley starts out as the heavy favorite in the June 22 runoff, but (U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett) has an outside chance. … And who knows what revelations might pop up? … Meanwhile, state Sen. Vince Sheheenwon a large majority in the Democratic primary. He’s an articulate, attractive nominee but faces difficult odds and will need some big breaks to become competitive in the conservative Palmetto State.”

Maria Brady Responds to the Actions of Upcountry TEA Party Organizer Roan Garcia

Maria, It sorrys me to read that this type of “game play” is taking place up in your neck of the woods. This whole story line is just getting noticed over here (thanks SCHotline) ~ Daniel Cochran
Exclusive: Christopher S. Lawton:  The Facts Regarding My Involvement with the Coalition & Roan Garcia
Comment: I was at the Mauldin council meeting when they had the two dollar trash bag fiasco.  It was a packed house and Mauldin citizen’s were itching to voice their complaints. The council set the rules regarding the question and answer period.  The Mauldin residents were to speak first and then non residents could ask their questions.  Roan Garcia could not nor would he follow the rules, for he thinks the rules do not apply to him.  He jumped in with his usual speech how he is for the people and freedom blah, blah, blah and he has fought the illegals from coming across our borders (news flash they’re still coming in record numbers) how he was the one who filled up the room with all these fire eating mad people.  Excuse me but I brought myself without any help from Roan Garcia.  We were forced to listen to his cuban story again (I believe I know it by heart by now, he repeats it every time he gets in front of a mike) From my observation and I could be wrong, he uses Chicage Tactics…Cuban style

Tuesday is election day

Quote of the week: SC Democratic Party Executive Director Jay Parmley said the tea party events aren’t about taxes or fiscal conservatism. “This is about being out of power, and Republicans are spending millions of dollars all across the country to spread lies and misinformation about the average citizen’s tax burden,”
Roan Garcia-Quintana, Again…
“these bully style tactics have no place in American politics…they are similar to what takes place in a third world Cuban dictatorship…”
