Im mired here in SC and every day we get more into the reeds. This place, ruled by The Republican Party, for twenty years has gone from the rising star of the South to the pit of American statistics and of course political discourse.
What started with an arrest of our Treasurer for drugs, to hikes on the trail, to You Lie, to more affairs, has taken a new low.
"Raghead" was described to describe Haley by a fellow publican foe and of course the President of the United States was thrown in with her as both are not pure white.
On a show called Pub Politics, where politicians come and have a beer and talk shop, State Senator Jakie Knotts called Haley and Obama "ragheads"
Story here
Knotts is a sterotype himself of old south politics. Big fat and he looks like the Cop in Cool Hand Luke.He lead the charge and the unveiling of Sandford's affair and represents the deep split here in SC between the Republican Party. Haley is Sanford in a dress. Knotts does not want her to be Governor and is letting it be known.
It seems Knotts, a supporter of Andre Bauer who is known for comparing poor people on welfare as "stray animals",is pushing the Haley affair. There are even rumors he had her followed and may have pictures her in compromising situations. Of course Haley is a political Tea Bagger, Palin gal and her winning would be so bad for SC. But this comment is so over the line it is just infuriating.
This place needs new leadership so bad. It is a great place to live but Im sure no one believes that with these clowns running around.
There are two great Dem Gov. Candidates running. Lord, Allah, Yoda please deliver us from these idiots, and soon.
NEW:
Still developing is the audio was taken down but Knotts wants it put on the air. He is not ashamed....
