he made that shit up
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
Maness is anything but a 'closet Liberal'. She's a flaming Leftist as much as any of the leaders of the Teacher's union and the Democrat Party.
Former Senator Jim DeMint supports Weaver and I'm good with that. She'll have that mostly worthless Masters by November, for what little it pertains to helping to fix the fucked-up public school system in this State. We just need some honest backbone and fortitude, along with parental support.

SC POLITICSLetters: Kathy Maness Is A Sham Candidate
Former superintendent Mick Zais: “If Kathy Maness is a conservative, then I’m a ballerina.”

Dear Editor,
Ellen Weaver and Kathy Maness are in a runoff for the Republican nomination for state superintendent of education.
When I was in office as state superintendent, Maness did everything in her power to oppose my efforts to expand educational freedom. She was against empowering parents. She argued against increasing funding for school choice. As executive director of the Palmetto State Teachers Association – South Carolina‘s version of the teachers’ union – she vigorously fought my efforts to hold schools and districts accountable. She forcefully opposed legislation making it easier for principals and district superintendents to remove ineffective teachers. In vigorously lobbying the General Assembly, she did what she was paid to do, represent a special interest lobby group rather than students and parents.
Maness has been endorsed by Vice President Kamela Harris and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Her candidacy as a Republican is a sham. If Kathy Maness is a conservative, then I’m a ballerina.
I urge you to vote for Ellen Weaver. Ellen is working to transform education in South Carolina, not perpetuate an under-performing system that fails to meet the needs of so many children.
Sincerely,
(Via: U.S. Department of Education)

Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.
Meanwhile SC legislators failed to pass school vouchers.

No one will ever please some of you. It is your right to disengage.
This one seemed obvious. Sorry to disappoint. I should have led off with she is not a libertarian.
Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.
I voted for "Ellen for Education". For some reason that stuck. I'll punch it again for her in the runoff. And screw public schools.
What does getting a master's mean these days???
My comment wasn't about the candidates. It was in response to why the republican party is impotent when it holds political advantage on a state and national level.
But again, don't worry. Come election time most everyone here will still mash that straight R button so y'all can continue to kick cans down unpaved and pot hole infested roads.
agreed
I get tired of people saying "we let that happen" or "your vote counts" or shit like that.
so, i vote so I can continue to complain. If you dont vote, your opinion doesnt matter.
while I understand glenn's concerns, I just dont see anything else I am supposed to do. So, again, I vote. not likely a straight ticket but pretty close.
I've yet to see a libertarian worth a shit.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
How about close.that whole Department down and send me two checks for $800.00.

I vote. Beyond that there really isn't much you can do until it comes time to fix bayonets. Used to have the option of dragging worthless and lying politicians out to the town square and hittin' 'em with the ol tar and feather treatment then run 'em out on a rail. But no no mo.
