All the blusters like Inglis, Graham, McMaster, Baurer, Barrett, and a long list of self servers, need to be able to mount their defense of their careers. Nikki and others like her are going to give them fits.

Fortunately, the Republican primary electorate doesn’t seem to be listening to Dick Cheney. We can only hope S.C. continues that trend.

It’s clear that the media has shamelessly blown up the story.

It’s clear the good ol’ boys campaigns are implicated here.

Given the information out there, I think it’s entirely possible something went on. And entirely possible the whole thing is a frame up. But that’s not the pont. Nikki Haley wouldn’t be the first one to have struggles in her marriage. Nikki Haley wasn’t running on beating anyone over the head with a Bible while calling out others for their moral failings.

She was running on cleaning up the government and promoting fiscal conservatism. And She has an excellent record on those things. She is the victim of a politically motivated smear job.

And I believe regardless of how this plays out, she deserves conservatives continued support.

…never mind.

I would rather live in SC than a sandbox for liberals like WA or VT.

Was super mad at reading this thread where in you just blame media or “others”..The problem is within i.e RINOs like so many here too.

We have a diaries section for a reason. We have daily open threads. You have no excuse.

Do NOT argue here. Take any complaints to the Contact page.

Boy, everything is just a problem caused by liberals for you hypocrite RINOs, isn’t it?

As for the likes of Mr. Folks and whomever behind this most obvious smear campaign… I can only hope that their 15 minutes of infamy is soon over. The little I’ve read about Folks and his absurd “come to Jesus” confessional moment tells me all that I need to know and that is.. Will Folks is the “Perez Hilton” of South Carolina. He is a pariah and nothing more than a sell out hack! While listening the other day to Keven Cohen’s (a local radio broadcaster) program, it was admitted by Will Folks that he refuses to give direct interviews because he wants any and all discussions to go directly to his site for the hits. “Hits” turn a profit. The entire story doesn’t pass the smell test for me. However, it does scream ulterior motives that include greed and corruption.

Erick.. I just want to say Thank you and also offer my thanks to the others that continue to defend and support Nikki Haley.

With Regards,
J.R. Olson
Columbia, SC

And folks are too focused on the wallet to abide this good ole boy BS.

I am for Haley!

So, something gave this one legs that such a story usually doesn’t have and I suspect the legs come from its source which would mean some fairly high-level political player.

Anyone can disappoint us at any time. When there is a specific accusation regarding a public figure, history, objectivity, and intellectual honesty demonstrate that the risk of being disappointed increases. People accused of impropriety generally deny it until the option of denial is eliminated. I don’t understand why that is difficult for some to accept and digest.

Incivility of this sort, aided and abetted, can lead to greater incivility and ultimately violence when those whose side is constantly slandered feel they are being shoved into a corner with no other way out.

When the truth is your enemy nothing good can come of your actions.
