Oh, South Carolina Democratic Party why do I still love you even though you disappoint me?

You tease me with a wonderful, well qualified candidates like Elizabeth Colbert Busch and then you yank the rug out from under me and once again we all lose. I am still devoted to you but we can’t go on like this. We have to do better, work harder, and convince candidates like Elizabeth to run again. We can do it South Carolina Democratic Party, I know we can turn this state around if we all work together. I’m not giving up on us, I’m just so damn pissed right now I can’t see straight.

How could the voters in the 1^st Congressional District re-elect that pompous, entitled, selfish ass hole and fail to support a fresh face like Elizabeth Colbert Busch?

We’ve suffered these disappointments before, most notably in SC District 2 when Democrat Rob Miller took on Joe “You Lie” Wilson. Miller was a military veteran who was smart and well spoken but he fell to the moron incumbent because apparently as long as letters GOP appear by your name on a ballot you can get elected and relected. It’s shameful but no longer surprising to me. I should be used to this pain by now but I just can’t lay down and let it wash over me without a fight.
