Proof that education is terrible in South Carolina and America is Alvin Greene. Vote Alvin Greene for president 2012!

@caconway1 What do you think happened to the Southern Democrats? You know, the ones that voted for Kennedy in '60, the ones that switched over to vote for Goldwater in '64, the ones who voted for George Wallace in '68, then when Wallace lost the '72 Dem. primary switched back over and voted for Nixon in the general. We've been Republicans since Nixon because there wasn't anything else to be, not because we love the warmongering GOP. Ron Paul 2012!!!

@Sistarovat People/organizations like you, Don Black, the John Birch Society, Lew Rockwell, David Duke etc., really give Ron Paul a bad name. I love it--I read your racist rhetoric and thought to myself, "I wonder if this guy likes RP." Checked out your profile and what do ya' know? Isn't the 1st time mind you.

In my mind it's settled. RP isn't racist, but racists would undoubtedly take advantage of any privatization legislation he would try to pass. And it's really, really, sad...

Most people who travel to South Carolina get there by vehicle? -Yes they do.

He should run for class president of the elementary school.

THANK YOU VOTING RIGHTS ACT!!! This nigger would have never made it out of his daddy's basement if South Carolina could still have literacy tests at the polls.

@Faboba Come on mate, the democrats withdraw their support for him. Thats why id expected him to be flying solo. But it does make sense regarding the clarity of his speech.

[Faboba]

@liverbird300 Suzanne Coe, almost certainly. Come on; most modern politicians don't write their own speeches. Obama is considered to be unusual in that he at least co-authors most of them. Are you telling me you expect the guy who gives world famously inarticulate news interviews in going to puck the trend and write his own stump speeches?

[liverbird300]

@Faboba if he didnt write it, then who did?

[Faboba]

@liverbird300 Er... he didn't actually write the speech. That said, Jim DeMint is a filibustering asshole so he's right on the fundamentals: he would be a better Senator for the people of South Carolina than Jim DeMint.

[primester]

He gives specific examples of what he wants to do, not some broad PC bullshit like other candidates. This actually changed my opinion of him from retarded to social awkward but with a grasp on reality. So I know this one guy...

Jim DeMint started the recession.
