I Hate the State

Friday, December 08, 2006

Another week has passed

Dateline, Friday—

The State's Brad Warthen publishes another utterly uncompelling look at why anti-free speech laws campaign finance regulations must be rigorously enforced.

Meanwhile, in a more daring piece, Dave Weigel at Hit-&-Run patiently explains why free participation in politics is The American Way and muzzling citizens isn't likely to work anyhow.

I'd bet cash money that Brad Warthen isn't brave enough to address the real issue: that spending money to get your message out is called free speech. Warthen = Chicken.

Bill / Joshua:

Your attempts to silence those of us who are sick of the illegal campaign activity are useless.

We're really just posting it on your sites to annoy you. The only people who visit them are your multiple aliases and your few grouies, anyway.

Call us Democrats if you like. The truth is that the SCGOP mainstream is waking up to what you're doing.

So, censor all you want. This war won't be won on your Libertarian love-fest sites, anyway.

But it will be won.

I am not Joshua Gross. Joshua Gross has style and class, two properties that I sorely lack.

Feel free to make a substantive, topical post to this blog whenever you're ready.

cheers,

Bill

It's clear from reading Brad's editorial that he is not sure if SCRG broke any laws. He refers to "loopholes". If the law doesn't require a political group to file some piece of paper, it doesn't require it. Call it a loophole if you want to, but that sounds like sour grapes.

Loopholes or not, South Carolinians need to know, What does Howard Rich want in SC?, and why is he afraid to be open about it?

Rich's Tabor, Voucher, Land Grab schemes etc have screwed up other states royally, one into bancruptcy. If his intentions are honest and valuable, let's dicuss them and vote on them. This shadow dance is getting old, and too much is at stake in SC to let it continue.

Let's call it Howie Rich Derangement Syndrome, because this is pure fantasy.

Upstate: Rest, relax, refresh. Come back when you've been able to gain some perspective, and are able to provide some positive input. I know that your emotions are all stirred up, to the point where you are feeling that strong need to "vanquish" your "enemies".

A break will do you and your loved ones a world of good.

You should link to http://swampfoxinsights.blogspot.com. He has been doing a great job analyzing The State's inane coverage and editorializing about education. Maybe you could invite him to cross-post here.

Be honest. Joshua has no style or class. He's paid for what he says and does. When women are paid to do that we call them: adorable.

So, let's make a "substantive topical" comment for a change.

Jake is a dog. Joshie is so very very adorable. Will was convicted. So was Rod. Will&Rod are adorable. Hmmmm? This is making me so hot. All we need is a stalker. Kinky.

Our next choice is Hillary or Barack. Bill's adorable but a different story.

So you're saying dog breath Jake, Joshua, Will, Rod and a stalker are all in bed together. That makes so much sense. But it does sound kinky.

Takes your breath away, doesn't it?

It's fact! Follow the money. Dog breath tells a lot. We followed the money and the dog poop.

So will the Ethic's Commission. Following the money will set us all free and expose you. All of you.

Every one of you, bubba.

There's got to be something to expose first.

The only thing exposed is that anonymous is an idiot...and has exposed their idiocy to the entire world.

I know you are, but what am I? You do not even clean up your own dog poop. You leave it for us to find.

Expose you we will. Money changers.
