She was born in small-town South Carolina, attended South Carolina schools and won election three times to the state legislature.

After Jindal and now Haley look for the Obama administration to shut down all immigration of non-Muslim Indians and fill their slots with more Muslims from Pakistan.

I’ll never forget on the night of the primary, Juan Williams said that Nikki Haley will be the first Native American Governor...They saved him quickly, but he did say it....

“understands the feelings among some about the state’s Civil War history.”

Anyone know what these white New York City elitist crackers are trying to say?

Ms. Haley can thank Ø for this crap. He is the one who claims to be a Christian and has yet to bear any fruit as one. Dante has a circle for him.

Mrs. Haley chose her words carefully in talking about the causes of the Civil War.

"You had one side of the Civil War that was fighting for tradition, and I think you had another side of the Civil War that was fighting for change," she said. She did not use the word "slavery" but hinted at it, saying that "everyone is supposed to be free."

Wow, way to take a stand...lol
