Skelton’s Days In Columbia Numbered
- Details
- By Ken Hausman - Sarasota, FL
As far as electoral travesties go, the case of the Republican primary for the District 3 seat in the State Assembly beats them all. Clemson resident Ed Harris, who defeated incumbent B. R. Skelton in the balloting, had earlier been thrown off the ballot by the state Supreme Court along with 200 or so other candidates based on the questionable pretext of a filing error. Shortly thereafter, Pickens County GOP Chairman Phillip Bowers, concluding that Mr. Harris had properly filed on paper as well as by E-mail the required document, reinstated Mr. Harris on the ballot. Mr. Harris, a strong conservative, went on to win the election, which is where the story should have ended.
Obamacare Is A Lie, President Obama Is A Liar
- Details
- By John H. Utz - Greenville, SC
Thanks to an inept Presidential Candidate, Mitt Romney, most all Republicans and a whole host of pathetic TV and Radio commentators, including FoxNews, it is incredible just how much misunderstanding and misinformation there is about Obamacare. For starters, there is much general discussion of the increasing total costs of Obamacare (which is essentially very unconvincing political oratory); but there is almost no discussion of the costs of the many individual programs.
The Real Question Should Be: What is Obama Hiding?
- Details
- By James Aldridge - Anderson, SC
On 7/11/12, Julie Pace of the Associated Press, by way-of-the Anderson Independent-Mail of Anderson writes that the Obama election campaign has a politically loaded question it 'wants voters to think about': What is Mitt Romney hiding? Obviously, liberal Pace is hoping to help the Democrats in their attempts to change the subject from the weak economy which they have 'taken the lead' in creating. The subject in question is Romney's not bringing forth records of his private finances which he has in a blind, off-shore trust, which is standard procedure for many.
The Government Gets Broader Taxing Powers
- Details
- By Don Maresca - Bluffton, SC
With Justice John Roberts’ ruling on Obamacare, the fallout and implications are many. Conservatives consider him a turncoat, who acquiesced to political pressure from the left. Others consider him a genius who limited legislative power over the commerce clause, and hung a tax millstone around Obama's neck going into the election. Liberals celebrate more government overreach. Whatever his reasons, Obamacare remains the law.
Obamacare as I See It from a UK Immigrant
- Details
- By Lucelle Raad - Sarasota, FL
I was brought up under a socialist system that I never questioned. It was only after I came to America and started my own business that I did an about turn.
It was a sad day in America when the Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare was legal which required John Roberts' convoluted reasoning that it is a tax. He betrayed us all by relegating to the dustbin the Constitution despite his sworn pledge to uphold the peoples rights, thereby putting in jeopardy all Americans and future generations.
