The need to do the same thing to this clown that they did to Blago, IMPEACH his behind.

Well, all he’s doing is creating future democrats, so maybe there is a silver lining. Think they’re going to grow up thanking him?

By the way my gov jackasss jindal wants to do the same thing HA the legislature so far said are you insane

Ha! South Carolinians will be sneaking across the border taking jobs away from Mexicans.

As someone born and raised in Alabama and who worked in Georgia for 1 1/2 years (before I couldn’t take it anymore), I can tell you why these “states get these lacky morons”.

Not all, but many, many people who live in SC, GA, AL, and other southern states are filled with hate and envy of anyone who is not like them. They don’t read, don’t know anyone from other countries (except a few people from Mexico or South America), have a great fear of “the other”, are incapable if independent thought, and they defer to what the local minister says. Big on church going but not big on the true meaning of religion.

The newspapers in Alabama are almost devoid of news outside of the state and devoid of news ouside of the country. During a fifteen day stay in B’ham during the height of the invasion and destruction if Iraq when our soldiers were being killed, I could not find a SINGLE article in the two local B’ham newspapers about what was going on in Iraq. Not even a 2 inch filler in the margins.

The single public radio station had about four hours of news and information during a 24 hour period. The rest of the time taken up by canned classical music. But you could get untold hours on AM and FM of rabid hate-filled preaching by so-called ministers of God, country music and sports. And the worst of reich-wing talk radio you can imagine.

I enjoy browsing book stores and spend a lot of money purchasing books. The B’ham telephone directory listed several books stores scattered around the metro area which would normally make me estatic. The only major chain store was located inside of a building belonging to the University of Alabama and was closed because school was out for the holidays. The other regular book store was located about thirty miles outside of B’ham and was difficult to get to. ALL of the other book stores sold ONLY religious books and items (I called them). This, in a city that has a large medical center and several colleges universities.

On the days I visited the local branch of the library I was the ONLY person there other that the workers.

My observation are not of a onetime visit since my relatives are there. And I know that my opinion of B’ham and AL might be biased. BUT, I do know that there is a general lack of interest in learning, reading, hearing other opinions, meeting people of a different race/culture/religion that exists in the people.

So that is why people like Sanford keep getting elected. They appeal to folks who are indifferent to learning, reading, hearing other opinions, meeting people of a different race/culture/religion that exists in the people. They appeal to folks who hate because that is what they are taught and are comfortable living with.

SC is known for poor roads, poor people, and poor education. The perfect trifecta.

And for bailout money – what about the threat of sea level rising on the lowcountry cities ? (Sanford is from the coast).
