I realize it's your opinion, but you've been wrong about too much before. Why should we listen to you?
Its never about policies and things that work. Its about neat slogans that attract the live for the moment, future be damned, lemmings. Quit electing Ricardo Montlaban. Elect the ones who have proven policies that work. Can we ignore the horrible economy and all the lives lost in the Middle East? Yes We Can!

lower the debt, reduce the size of government

The democrats, independent, and libertarian members of congress are the only ones that have tried to.

Stop the proven failed tax cuts for the rich, the right threw a fit and threatened to shut down the government if it wasn't extended.

End the most anti-constitution and big government bill in US history, the patriot act which the republicans and tea party voted almost unanimously for.

Stop billions in government corporate handouts to big oil, the right refused.

The right and tea party have made it clear they want big government and massive spending to continue. Only those that are delusional think the right are for less spending and less government.

You would think in blood-red SC there would be more than this for a turnout.

She is a joke. But what do you expect from SC. We are ran by nothing but right wing GOP blood red all the way and we still are in debt. We still have allot of problems that the GOP is suppose to be against including high state taxes. We have low wages and low quality of living compared to other states and this is a GOP mecca. All of them should be required to make a pilgrimage here at least once in their life.

Bobby Jindal is a practicing Catholic. Nor is his birth name "Bobby" or "Robert".

Bobby Jindal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During his first year at Brown University, he was received into the Catholic Church. . . .Piyush "Bobby" Jindal (born June 10, 1971)[1] is the 55th and current Governor of Louisiana and formerly a member of the United States House of Representatives.[2]

Being a Catholic is probably quite politically helpful in Louisiana.

Haley is another ethically challenged republican, like her predecessor Mark Sanford.
