Bob Inglis Attacks GOP Climate Change Deniers
Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.), an outgoing lawmaker with nothing left to lose after having his fate sealed through a primary challenge from the right earlier this year, expressed his frustrations with the GOP’s trajectory toward climate change denial Wednesday in a harsh rebuke that blasted his party’s hard-headed refusal to listen to scientific experts.

Sheheen vs. Haley-SC Fate Hangs in the Balance
If you watched and listened closely to the first two debates between South Carolina gubernatorial candidates Vincent Sheheen and Nikki Haley I find it hard to believe that you could support the Republican in this race. Here’s a summary in case you missed the debates. Nikki Haley is all about corporations she is fully supportive of eliminating the corporate income tax despite the fact that South Carolina’s budget is hundreds of millions of dollars short and running a deficit. She brags about South Carolina being a right to work state and vows to keep the unions out. She wants tort reform and reform of the workers compensation system. Haley demonizes Vincent Sheheen’s work as an attorney representing individuals in property and labor disputes against the state. She apparently supports those who would force South Carolinians to knuckle under to the government and or employers that wronged them. I wish someone would explain to Haley that it is indeed possible to serve as a state senator and represent your constituents in the district in the legislature and also serve as an attorney representing individuals suing the state over property and labor disputes. She doesn’t seem to comprehend that this is not unethical or illegal. I find her lobbying work for a hospital system far more questionable. The fact that Haley was a paid fund raiser for the Lexington Hospital System would seem to be flat out influence peddling, trading in her status as a state representative to raise money for a corporate entity. Apparently she wasn’t a very dedicated fund raiser since she was asked to leave her position reportedly because she didn’t show up to perform her 10 hours of mandatory office work.
Republicans Support War But Not The Veterans Who Fight Them
An analysis of voting on veterans affairs issues shows the Democrats are far more supportive of medical care and benefits for veterans than Republicans. Can we stop the big lie that Republicans are pro-military, they are pro-war and anti-soldier. It costs money to support the troops who come home physically and emotionally damaged.
