When I heard it repeated again, I just knew there had been more to the story than what they were spouting. &nbsp;</p> rss@dailykos.com (teharper428) ColoradoSpringsChurchshooting Sen.

After his introductory remark of "thank you for contacting me", the letter continues with - </p> <blockquote> <p>As you know, one of the most pressing problems in health care is the large number of uninsured and underinsured Americans, 700,000 of which are located in South Carolina. I understand that you support health care reform legislation that will provide insurance coverage to all Americans. </p> </blockquote> <p> I should note that Gresham Barrett is currently running for South Carolina Governor. &nbsp;His House seat is open, with republican and Democratic primaries in June. &nbsp;The letter follows with a long paragraph giving factual information about the health care reform bill. &nbsp;</p> rss@dailykos.com (teharper428) Elections greshambarrett H.R.3590 House JaneDyer JimdeMint Joe Wilson JoeWilson Primaries RepublicanHypocrisy RobMiller SC-03 SouthCarolina VicRawl _854602 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 14:37:27 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/9/30/787680/-Rude-republicans-at-Rep-Wilson-rally <p>This past Saturday, Representative Joe "you lie" Wilson was in Aiken, SC at the invitation of the Aiken County Republican Party. &nbsp;A few days before the "event" our local newspaper had a small article about a woman who was planning a protest against Wilson. &nbsp;I knew then that I just had to go see for myself what would happen. &nbsp;I had friends from Illinois staying with us for the weekend. &nbsp;As retired AFSCME staff and strong Democrats they too were ready to see what would transpire. &nbsp;My daughter decided to join us for the sheer entertainment of watching how the three of us would react to hearing Wilson's speech. &nbsp;</p> rss@dailykos.com (teharper428) Anti-semitic Joe Wilson JoeWilson Republicans SouthCarolinaU.SRepresentative _787680 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:44:47 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/18/634365/-SC-Repub-lawyer-lost-challenge-to-close-satellite-voting-locations <p>Last Monday, the Aiken County Election Board closed the three satellite voting locations in the county. &nbsp;An 11th hour protest from a South Carolina Republican who is serving as counsel and parliamentarian to the party, shut down the satellite absentee voting locations on Monday.</p> <p>Last night the Aiken County Election Board held an emergency meeting to reopen the satellite offices. &nbsp;According the the South Carolina Attorney General's office, satellite absentee voting is allowed. &nbsp;<a href="http://chronicle.augusta.com/images/headlines/101808/1018_AikenVote.pdf">http://chronicle.augusta.com/...</a></p> rss@dailykos.com (teharper428) AbsenteeVoting AikenCounty SC _634365 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:38:42 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/14/629964/-Republicans-block-satellite-absentee-voting-in-Aiken-Co-SC <p>In order to vote early a South Carolinian must meet the criteria to absentee vote.

The smear email was entitled, Obama the Patriot - removes American flag from his plane. It cited Snopes.com, but, of course, didn't include the entire article. I was able to debunk it, in addition to replying to my friend, I also replied to his buddy that had sent it to him. &nbsp;Well, that has been a mistake, or at least a challenge. Now I keep getting replies from the guy and I can't let them pass, so I keep countering his stupidity. The latest email from the idiot, is the one I am asking you for help. &nbsp;I need some direction, with short replies to issues that I know need detail, but figure the guy won't read anything more than a few sentences. His email is below the fold:</p> rss@dailykos.com (teharper428) 2008 Barack Obama BarackObama smearemails _570260 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:17:09 +0000
