From HOTLINE ON CALL

Abortion is no laughing matter, but Attorney General Henry McMaster had members of the audience laughing and shaking their heads when he said that you can’t force a woman to view an ultrasound - she can always close her eyes. According to Senator Short, she better cover her ears too.
So let’s get this right Mr. […]

4 Comments Published March 29th, 2007 in Uncategorized.Did John McCain nearly ditch the Republican Party?
That’s what Democrats are saying.
But his best bud Lindsey Graham says that’s not true. “I have never heard one word from John’s mouth to suggest he was going to leave the Republican Party. These are political-intrigue stories that have no basis in fact.â€

Blasephemy and retribution…like peas and carrots

We get a lot of press releases each day. We are grateful for every one of them, but sometimes it is hard to pay close attention to each of them. However, this one caught our eye as if Joel Sawyer had another Sanford presidential announcement.
The Dodd campaign sent out a release touting the Senator’s hurculean […]

 I think almost everybody, whether you’re Democrat or a Republican, agrees that we need to eliminate unnecessary pork-barrel projects from our Federal Budget. Recently Senator DeMint helped to lead the effort to create transparency and accountability in appropriations process by getting the Earmark Reform Bill passed in the Senate. But this bill is still awaiting […]

We linked an article from Aaron Sheinin asking, should bloggers’ should get journalistic priviledges.  To discuss this, we don’t even having to go into too much chest pounding about how bloggers are quickly becoming a mainstay in how people get their news. The evidence is right there fo all of us to see.
To start, Aaron felt that we were credible enough […]
Fred Thompson has changed his view on abortion
1 Comment Published March 27th, 2007 in Uncategorized.It looks Fred Thompson has also changed his mind on abortion.
Here are some clips from MSNBC:
Both [Thompson and Houston Gordon] also are basically pro-choice on abortion although Thompson has voted to bar federal funding of abortions. Both candidates said they would have voted to override Clinton’s veto of a bill this year that would have […]

From National Review:Â
Someone on Presidential hopeful John McCain’s staff is going to be in trouble today. They used a well known template to create his Myspace page. The template was designed by NewsVine Founder and CEO Mike Davidson (original template is here). Davidson gave the template code away to anyone who wanted to use it, but […]
[UPDATE]Â
Jason Miller, Gov. Sanford’s Deputy Chief of Staff and former Campaign Manager, is leaving to join Rudy Giuliani’s Presidential Campaign. Miller will serve as Deputy Communication Director and lead the Rapid Response Unit for the national campaign staff. Miller will also help the campaign make inroads in South Carolina.Â
Miller is one of the top political operatives in country. Before […]
We read the following article in the Post and Courier this morning and all we could think is – this is the stupidest thing we’ve ever read!
Democrats are crying foul because State Senator Chip Campsen has proposed legislation that would let owner-occupants who rent out their homes for less than 90 days a year qualify […]

The Politico is reporting that according to Rep. Zach Wamp (R-Tenn.), South Carolina Congressman Gresham Barrett is prepared to endorse former Sen. Fred Thompson if and when he declares his candidacy for President. Thompson is best known for his recurring role on NBC’s Law & Order.
Rep. Barrett represents the 3rd Congressional District, which encompasses Aiken, […]
Presidential Candidate Rudy Giuliani is currently running ads on Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity radio shows. Each of these national syndicated conservative commentators has audiences in the millions. While I haven’t seen any empirical evidence proving this, I think most of their listeners are also Republican primary voters.
What is most interesting about this is that […]
KSM? Who?
Oh, you mean the guy WHO CONFESSED TO BEING THE MASTERMIND BEHIND 9/11.
You’re right. KSM is fine…he’s no one real important.

–verb (used with object) to change to a better state, form, etc.; improve by alteration, substitution, abolition, etc.Â
Well folks, surprise surprise. That is exactly what we won’t be getting if the SC House of Lords Senate has their way (and we do mean […]

And check out his website at www.kellyforhouse.com.
Okay, so at first we laughed a little bit at this campaign proposal, but its become pretty evident that Sam Brownback really is on to something. His polls must be dead on. This is the real ‘08 issue. It seems that animal-human hybrids really are an epidemic truly taking over the world.
First sheep-human […]

When I saw this it made me wish I was still a full-time student at USC. Romney will be tapping into the fundraising skills of America’s best college students, some of whom are currently receiving an education in both the newest and most proven fundraising techniques. The demand in Washington for bundler-extraordinars is higher than […]
Ok, that headline was about as cool as Joel Sawyer’s presidential announcement headline.
We know that our poll doesn’t represent the general populace of SC, but if it did, John McCain would be in some serious trouble.
We asked “Will John McCain’s age and health issues affect your vote?â€
47 of you responded and…
60% said ‘I wouldn’t vote […]
