FITSNews Blogger and former Mark Sanford aide Will Folks admits to an affair with then-married state Rep. Nikki Haley.
The truth in this case is what it is. Several years ago, prior to my marriage, I had an inappropriate physical relationship with Nikki.
And Nikki Haley's statement?
"I have been 100% faithful to my husband throughout our 13 years of marriage. This claim against me is categorically and totally false."
My take:
The alleged affair between a GOP blogger and state Rep. Nikki Haley is the latest blunder for an already embarrassed S.C. GOP.
But who cares?
When Gov. Mark Sanford admitted to his affair, after secretly running away from the state for a few days to "hike" a trail, people slowly took him back in, and embraced his ex-wife. Furthermore, the state never held him accountable for his actions.
Does GOP=affair in this state? Seems so. People are too afraid to vote against it though.
The Republican Party candidates already have ads on television proclaiming their faith and values. Well, if their faith leads them astray and their values similar to Gov. Sanford's, then you can keep them. Their lying to your face for a vote.
The affairs they haven't involved themselves in are yours. How about the unemployed? Gov. Sanford was too busy holding up checks to the unemployed multiple times while claiming he's a faithful person. How about the less insured. State Republicans cut drastically the funding to services for such people. Where's their God and values?
Let's face it, people. You've been conned. You will continue to be if you regularly vote for a Party that wears God on their sleeve so much that the shirt becomes too much to wear and begins to droop.
I am a practicing Christian. I attend church frequently. However, I do not wear religion on my shirt nor do I profess it in television ads to get people to vote for me.
I tend to expose people for not doing their job for the whole of the state. The state GOP has had decades of rule and has failed you people here. When will it become a necessity to vote for your wallet over social issues - where Republicans have their skeletons.
These Republicans have embarrassed the state, its people and will continue to do so when you blindly vote for them, on the pure assumption of their stances on social issues. God forbid you take a chance on a person who hasn't been in power for decades.
Take this in mind: Do you like to have your intelligence insulted? Well, the Republicans of this state don't mind doing that. They feel that if they throw a few bones out to you i.e. their stances on God, gays and guns, then you'll be so ready to vote for them - screw the more important issues the people of this state faces.
I, however, do not fall for the lies and hypocrisies of the state GOP. They have had their chance. The result? Epic failure.
Ask a teacher. Ask a veteran. Ask a person out of a job. Ask the majority of this state and they'll tell you more needs to be done. Alas, they can't get over the social issues hump.
Thanks to Will Folks and Nikki Haley, maybe people will finally see what embarrassment really means to the state of South Carolina.
Frankly, I am sick and tired of it.
