    Brad, you’re not being fair. He’s been in a public school besides the University of Virginia on at least two other occassions that I can recall.

    With Brad it is all-or-nothing. He can see no place for anything but socialism, so he thinks anyone with a broader mind is a phony.

    “They’re pretty sour now, dude.”
    So we noticed! Must be tough to know weeks ahead of the elections that finally the people of SC will make it clear that you are way out of the mainstream. Of course, on the 8th you will then chastise them for being too stupid to vote according to your “superior wisdom”. Oh well.

    Brad is all or nothing? That has got to be the funniest post of yours yet, Lee. That is hilarious! Who is all or nothing around here, anyway?

    You and Randy. Both of you have severe difficulty understanding that there are shades of grey and that things are not just all black or white.

    All right, all right… who’s the wise guy impersonating LexWolf?
    Cut it out, OK?
    Here’s a question for the REAL LexWolf — I assume the “Lex” in your sobriquet stands for Lexington County. Are you with the majority of Republicans in Lexington County, or do you support Mark Sanford?
    That’s not a loaded question, by the way. I would take some comfort from the fact that folks in my home county oppose the governor, if I thought they did it for good reasons. Unfortunately, most are mad at him for doing something RIGHT — vetoing the delegation’s unconscionable attempt to skirt the rules to get Lexington Medical Center an open-heart surgery certification. And Jake Knotts, who’s madder at him than anybody, feels that way for an even odder reason — something having to do with the law enforcement memorial on the State House grounds.
    If I considered only the issues that have Lexington County mad at him, I’d be supporting Sanford.

    No impersonator at all.
    I’m with Sanford and in fact have zero use for RINO Jake Knotts and his ilk. The problem with those buffoons is that many of them used to be Dems who only switched parties when it became abundantly clear that the Dems wouldn’t be in power in the legislature again for a very long time. These guys might have switched parties so they can stay in power but at heart they are still the same clueless, weaselly Dems they’ve always been. In other words, rather than serving the people of this state, they are serving themselves.
    That LMC kerfuffle was a childish temper tantrum, if I’ve ever seen one and I think Sanford was magnificent on the issue. He stood by his principles even though doing so would clearly harm him electorally while they basically chanted “we want what we want – you’re so mean, Daddy!”. A total disgrace!
    Yet you complain that Sanford doesn’t get more done in the legislature. Those guys are precisely why Sanford hasn’t been as successful as his agenda clearly deserves. They are deeply entrenched little piggies who have no intention of surrendering any of their power even if clearly would improve this state.
    I wouldn’t vote for Knotts if he were running for dogcatcher!

    Letter to the Editor
    Is real Sanford hiding behind Republicans?
    Republicans are fond of calling fellow Republicans with whom they do not agree RINOs, an acronym for Republican In Name Only. I believe that Gov. Mark Sanford is a LIAR. That is an acronym for Libertarian Imitating A Republican.

    Libertarianism has been a part of the Republican Party ever since the Democrats defined themselves as international socialists under Woodrow Wilson.
    The Libertarian Party was founded by a GOP member of the Virginia Electoral College who refused to vote for Nixon, and a revolt by the campus Republican groups in the early 1970s.
