Bolton: Why does Gov. Sanford hate our state?
Edited on Wed Mar-18-09 04:35 AM by Are_grits_groceries
WHY DOES Mark Sanford hate South Carolina?

He might as well. At least then it would be easier to understand why, in six and a half years, this governor has done virtually nothing to lead this state and meet the needs of the people he asked to serve. All we’ve gotten is ideological rants and tangents that ignore real-world South Carolina.

South Carolina has far too many problems — far too many people without health-care coverage, far too few social service workers, far too many payday lenders, far too many children receiving a poor education — to suffer a governor who far too often acts as if he doesn’t care.

People are losing jobs by the thousands with scary regularity in our already-poor state, but instead of helping ensure jobless workers get much-needed unemployment checks — or better yet, jobs — this governor threatened to hold up payments until he got data he wanted from the Employment Security Commission.

No right-thinking — and few right-leaning — governors or politicians would consider such action. Most governors — Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal — are practical. They’re problem-solvers; they know when they take office their job is to meet the needs of their states, including ensure necessary programs are in place and funded and that children get quality public education.

Mr. Sanford acts as if he’s still a maverick in Congress whose acts of dissent don’t matter.

There's more....

He doesn't want to lead, manage or govern. Sanford wants to rule. Asshole..........

I'll never understand why people who hate government insist on becoming part of it. I think its to make durn sure it doesn't work. They give us the proof of their theories. They make it so.

I think Gov. Mark is gambling his political career on this stimulus package. I believe he thinks he can run for President on his rejection of evil tax money. And see - if the stimulus doesn't work for our state - he can say *I told you so.*

It is my dearest hope that he is politically ruined because of this and won't be elected dog catcher anywhere.

Or -

Maybe he's trying to make Palin look good?
