Catherine Templeton makes me wonder about a lot of things:
- What makes her think anyone would want to vote for someone who calls herself a “buzzsaw” — whose entire public persona is about being as destructive as possible?
- Is she right that there are people out there who want to do that? (I fear she is.)
- What is wrong with such people? Are they just nihilists — do they simply want to “blow s__t up?” Do they really, truly not want to see people they vote for accomplish anything positive at all — just rend and destroy?
- Could people who want that please take a break from voting? Because I think they’re why we have a lot of the problems we have in this country. Ever since we started electing people to run government whose main message was that they HATE government, things have been on a downward slide.
- When the Toby Maguire version of “Spider-Man” came along, people understood that a character who called himself “Bonesaw” was a character to be avoided. “Buzzsaw” isn’t that far off in terms of imagery (just less anatomical). What has happened to people’s common sense since then?
- Oh, and must we even get into the fairly obvious fact that the words “conservative” and “buzzsaw” do not go together? That phrase is a contradiction in terms. Conservative people wish to conserve, not destroy.
- Why would any normal person — and presumably we still have some normal people voting, without whom an electoral victory is difficult — want to vote for a candidate who has opted to run as the kind of candidate who appeals primarily to people who want to elect a “buzzsaw?” In other words, doesn’t getting the votes of the “buzzsaw” voters negate your chances of getting anyone else’s vote? Let’s hope so…

Perhaps Templeton should be asked if the bureaucrats she fired while DHEC agency head were those who would have dealt with the TB outbreak in Greenwood. Election rivals should start referring to her as “TB Templeton.”
A lot of folks do ask her about that on her Facebook page. She doesn’t respond.
Ms. Templeton’s commercials strike me as reasons to actively vote against her. And since when does she think she can mandate term limits. I hope we can limit her term to zero.
Well, we have a perfect record so far, since she’s never been elected to anything up to this point… 🙂
KNOCK ON WOOD!!!
