Nikki Haley Doubles Down on Truth


From the Political Wire, we learn Nikki Haley will resign if the allegations against her are proven true.

Host: “If something comes out after you win the primary, or after you win the general election become South Carolina’s next governor, if something were to come out that validates the claims that have been made against you — in terms of stepping out on your husband and on your marriage — would you resign as governor because basically the way you’ve handled it has been an absolute, 100 percent denial? Would you resign or would it be dragged out?

Haley: “Yes.”

Host: “Yes, you would resign?”

Haley: “Yes.”

They’ve called her a raghead. They’ve called her a wh*re. They sure as heck better start practicing calling her Governor.

Nikki can win. You can help.

Nimrata Randhawa Haley / Barack Hussein

kuksool (Diary) Friday, June 4th at 11:27AM EST (link)

Nikki’s rivals are highlighting her ethnic name : Nimrata Randhawa Haley.

Its an attempt to portray her as foreign and unchristian. Next thing, Andre Bauer will be demanding to see her birth certificate.

The question is: If it is wrong to say call Nikki Hay as Nimrata Randhawa Haley, should conservatives call out other conservatives like Ann Coulter for saying, Barack Hussein Obama?

Who here or with the Haley campaign has complained?

JoeG Friday, June 4th at 12:14PM EST (link)

I don’t get the impression that anyone here cares, nor does she.

Just the same as calling the governor of LA Piyush… He’s not sensitive about it but prefers Bobby.

 
 

she never wavers, does she?

tngal (Diary) Friday, June 4th at 11:30AM EST (link)

She didn’t leave much wiggle room before and she’s left none now. But, she’s gutsy and that might get her through. I have more respect for her at this point and time than some others out there (Mark Kirk I’m talking about you. Get your head on straight!)

 

I love this woman!

Final Primary Push

This weekend Huckabee is coming to SC to campaign for Andre Bauer.

Dick Cheney to do robocalls for Barrett.

Sarah Palin to do robocalls for Nikki Haley.

Care to guess who benefits most from that?

If there were any evidence it would have been produced by now.

If the GOP is going to attract people who look like Nikki, we really need to win this one.

SC needs Nikki. It’s hard to think of a more solid candidate anywhere. If the sleazy old-school wins this one, it will be a major blow to the kind of diversity we really need: diversity of principled conservatives.

CincoSolas_del_Bronx (Diary) Friday, June 4th at 12:50PM EST (link)

with 5 at the top. The rampant individualism so dear to conservative thought is frequently seen in variations on the theme. Mike (aka GC) tends to string them out horizontally in proportion to the length of his tribute; others find more arcane mathematical expressions to imply the concept of “really big number”.

You should be advised, however, that you must never use an expression containing–I gotta be careful now–the numeral “5″ followed by the division operator “/” followed by the numeral “0″. The moment anyone does that, the site will disappear until after the election, and Neil will not be a happy man during that interval.

http://www.bloggybayou.com/2010/06/i-also-slept-with-south-carolina.html

When we Americans finally grow up and are willing to ignore what is frankly no one’s business and if SAID BEHAVIOR IS NOT BREAKING THE LAW make what goes on behind closed doors between consenting adults off-limits, period.

The last place I want the government or the press snooping into is my love life with my wife or of my familly’s. Sarah Palin’s experience should have taught us a lesson.. Not their business, not the neighbors, not anybody’s but mie and my wife’s. Period.

You want to start getting the government out of our lives, then the first place it should start is in the “boudoir” and the home.

RedBeard Friday, June 4th at 1:43PM EST (link)

The accusation against Haley was a very serious one, because character does matter. A lot. If a politician can’t be trusted by her spouse, how can the rest of us trust her?

I’m heartened by Haley’s firm denial. It builds confidence in her.

Bloggy Bayou (Diary) Friday, June 4th at 2:59PM EST (link)

By making a person’s sexual life fair game, you leave everyone wide open to any smear. It is a Pandora’s Box.

If you think it is important one knows about a politicians love life, then you better be prepared to have yours investigated as well.

How would you stop vile smear campaigns like this one?

RedBeard Saturday, June 5th at 8:15AM EST (link)

What laws or rules could we institute to prevent this sort of thing? Scumbags abound. Anyone can say anything about a political enemy, and that will never change,

The truth is the weapon to use against smears. If the truth is not on the side of the accused, then that is a problem the accused must face.

It’s not the candidate’s private love life per se that concerns me; it’s the poor character of the lying cheaters like John Edwards. Voters should know what sort of morals their elected officials possess, as those characteristics will affect the way government is run.

If a smoking gun does appear

houstoneagle (Diary) Friday, June 4th at 2:45PM EST (link)

it will be the worst fall from grace since John Edwards.

She is either one of the stupidest politicians on the face of the earth or being 100% honest. I am going with 100% honest unless and until I am given good reason to believe otherwise.

E Pluribus Unum (Diary) Friday, June 4th at 4:54PM EST (link)

A much, much bigger fall from grace.

From the beginning, John Edwards was a predatory medical-claims ambulance chasing lawyer who made tens of millions of bucks faming false accusations against OB doctors.

I don’t think he had very far to fall.

I didn't like Huckabee before

obladioblada Friday, June 4th at 7:25PM EST (link)

but this makes me detest him all the more. He needs to be held accountable for his candidate’s dirty, misogynist, racist campaign.

Huckabee = opportunistic twit.

acat (Diary) Friday, June 4th at 7:35PM EST (link)

I hate to speak ill of someone who plays guitar* but … I mean, Bauer should be toxic to a national wannabe. (if tying Bush to “Brownie” is legit, and tying Obama to Blagojevich is legit, then hanging Bauer around Huckabee’s neck should be legit…)

Whoever is running intelligence for Huck seriously needs a clue-by-four upside the head…. or is Red State just *that* far ahead of the curve?

Go Nikki Go!

* parses just as well as anyone who defends Huck for being a “christian” – I can prove he plays guitar, can you prove the state of his heart?

HuckaHucka never quit running last time and he will be in the mix for 2012, and he does have some level of support in the R party. He’s not going anywhere, well maybe Hometown Buffet, but that’s another thread.

acat (Diary) Friday, June 4th at 7:53PM EST (link)

Iowa is where Huck burst onto the scene last time – and his appeal there – populist – will likely still resonate.

I have the opinion that a big percentage of his post-Romney-dropout point were protest votes against McCain, rather than actual pro-Huck… but yeah – at this point, the only way to get him to go away is massive post-Iowa losses… and I don’t see that happening.

RedBeard Saturday, June 5th at 8:30AM EST (link)

All the talk about the same tired crop of R candidates running again in 2012 has me very nervous. Have we learned nothing from 2008? The primary candidates who lost out to John McCain can hardly be considered possible winners now. It would be like someone who just got beaten up by PeeWee Herman being put up for a heavyweight title bout.

If you saw Haley speaking about this

Adjoran (Diary) Saturday, June 5th at 4:59AM EST (link)

it is impossible to believe the allegations. Since all the miscreants are directly linked to Bauer, except the one Barrett aide who used to work for Haley and was said to be pushing the story after the rumors broke, the conclusion is obvious.

The last poll was after the crap started, and she was well ahead, but that was 2 weeks before the primary. Based on anecdotal evidence – the conversations among people in my rural county where the Republican voters are very conservative and mostly Evangelicals, the consensus is Haley is telling the truth and will earn a certain amount of backlash votes. She could possibly cross the 50% threshold to avoid a runoff.
