One should give straight to candidates and then you don’t have to worry where the money is going. Club for Growth is the only group I donate to outside of direct to candidates now.

How can a judge “order” somebody to remove TV ads?

It is unlikely that any candidate will get to 50%, so there will be a run-off between the top two finishers. If that poll is correct, it looks like Haley will be one of them.

I keep waiting for someone to have the stones to say to one of these bench sitting Bolsheviks: “With all due respect, f*** you your honor” and then, like Jackson and the Supreme Court, keep doing what they’re doing and let them try to enforce their decisions. Sooner or later ignoring and defying unconstitutional decisions and orders (i.e. civil disobedience in the highest tradition) is the only way forward. Well, there are other ways but I don’t wish to be banned by the moderators today.

I understand your point and agree with the overall premise. But the funny thing is, it can work either way. A religious education and upbringing can (did) create both a John Paul II and a Josef Stalin. Likewise, an indoctrination at the hands of a public school may tend to move a kid away from the parents’ point of view, but I think a home environment where the parents can actively explain their beliefs to their children will have a bigger and longer term impact. The hand that rocks the cradle still rules the world.

From the article:
In an e-mail to WYFF, ReformSC Chairman Pat McKinney said," The ReformSC ads are completely legal. We will prove that in court, if necessary. And we will have the ads back up on the air. The fact that Gresham Barrett is willing to go to court to stop the transparency and accountability that will come when legislators have to vote on the record tells you all you need to know about the kind of governor he would be."

Are there current poll numbers? I seen so little in the news regarding this race.

Briefly,

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary voters shows Haley earning 30% support. She’s followed by State Attorney General Henry McMaster who picks up 19% and Congressman Gresham Barrett with 17%. Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer captures 12% of the vote.

Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate in the race, but nearly one-in-five potential primary voters (18%) remain undecided.

Details here.

We’re all united about one thing here - we don’t like the Communist takeover of our government and want to do something about it besides complain.

Just in case people don't know, Barrett supported the stimulus package and got booed at the Greenville Tea Party:

The judge doesn't know what he is talking about. The ad is 100% legal, as it is an issue-based add. The only problem is that only 1 gubernatorial candidate embodies the ideals on the add. Too bad for the rest of the frauds.

I think one poll has her at 30%—the Palin endorsement was golden. Now we’re beginning to see more of Barrett’s true colors.

I heard he broke down and cried during a conference call over the news. Apparently he cries a lot. No lie. What a girl is Barrett. These good ole' boys are something else.
