Greene has S.C. Democrats turning purple

This writer ain’t half bad.

Check this out:

“Alvin showed early senatorial ambitions when he incurred a felony charge by showing porn on his cell phone to a college girl.’”

And...

“It wasn’t so much that Sanford had a girlfriend. This outsourcing-weary, unionized textile state was upset that its governor was sending even mistressing jobs overseas.”

Goober does as Goober is!

Half-wit Alvin Greene, who ran for the Democratic Senate nomination to challenge sitting (which is about all they do) Sen. Jim “Never Needs Scope” DeMint, R-S.C., won in a landslide.

I wonder if this is coming from a Democrat paper. If so, they could end up alienating some of their readership. And that would be really cool.

[Bhoy]

I’ll take Alvin over Nancy anyday. Nancy got agenda.

[Brytani]

As a Floridian, I want to thank South Carolinian Democrats for taking some of the heat off our Palm Beach Democrats that can’t follow a simple arrow.

[MissAmericanPie]

We know that he is at least bright enough to know how to use a cell phone.8(

This Ron Hart guy is plagiarizing Ann Coulter’s column on Townhall, almost verbatim.

[Jet Jaguar]

Pretty close.

I liked the snark about pols being safe if they left the age of consent laws alone.

A Google search indicated that SC is very unusual in that the age of consent in set in the SC Constitution. It is 14 years of age.

However, there may have been a law raising it to 16, but the exact status of the law seems debatable.

Still, SC is very conservative.

Good for SC.

You make a subjective assertion without replicable data, and take a needless punch at a man. This can only generate sympathy for him We’ve seen five minutes of excerpted sound bites. Is he unprepared? Almost certainly. Is he any more or less intelligent than Sheldon Whitehorse or Al Franken?

[steve8714]

I think the establishment candidate had more problems than we may see.

[basil]

Ping!

You make a subjective assertion without replicable data...

I've heard him interviewed by Mark Levin and Rusty Humphries, both of whom were very respectful and non-threatening to the guy. If you haven't heard Alvin Greene interviewed, then I can perhaps understand your overweening compassion for the man.

He has a sub-par intelligence level. I'm very sorry, but that is unquestionably the case. In no way, shape, or form should this person be making a run for the US Senate, and it's sad that the Democrat party didn't weed him out sooner.

Is he any more or less intelligent than Sheldon Whitehorse or Al Franken?

I'm afraid that he's not even half as intelligent as either of those men, and that's saying something.

Listen - I have nothing against Alvin Greene. I'm simply making an honest observation about his unfortunate lack of intellect. It's apparent that he's embarked upon a course that is far, far beyond his capabilities.

I ask you again...have you heard him interviewed?

I had a 22 year old guy at work tell me McChystal is a bushbot. He was a ginger.

This Ron Hart guy is plagiarizing Ann Coulter’s column on Townhall, almost verbatim.

You know, I didn't check the byline when I started reading the article, and actually thought that it was Ann Coulter. The style is pretty unmistakable.

You've got me almost curious enough to go grab Ann's article to compare it with this one.

Or how about this:

As we all know, it would be unthinkable for the Democrats to run an unaccomplished young black candidate with scant credentials, shady funding, nefarious friends from a corrupt state and an almost nonexistent voting record for high office. If Alvin Greene is actually elected, can a Nobel Peace Prize be far behind?

The fact is, Greene happens when you substitute the election for the literacy test.

I hate to say it but in my estimation at least 10% of Congress has a low intellect level and exhibit it regularly. Maybe they represent their constituents better because they are closer in intellect to them? Real Representative government in action.

Should we have an intelligence test for Congressmen or for voters? IDIOCRACY is what we are becoming, just look at the White House. I’m still waiting for Guam to roll over and capsize due to too many people and I’m looking for Arizona on the map near Canada. How many Congressmen can balance their own checkbook much less our governments? How many do their own tax returns? ZERO. (Timmy Geithner does his so he can cheat)

We should return to property owner only or taxpayers only can vote. If people don’t have enough intelligence and ambition (or luck) to amass some self sustaining property or income why should they be allowed to vote on taking it away from those that do so and give it to those that can’t or won’t? It is this flaw in our government that might be our downfall.

I have heard him interviewed and think he is perfect.

At least when he votes retarded and says retarded things he will have an excuse.

[aquila48]

Mark Steyn’s got competition!

You've got me almost curious enough to go grab Ann's article to compare it with this one.

Her column is worth a read. I'm in full agreement with her conclusion: that Alvin Greene is clearly more qualified to be a senator than Patrick Leahy.
