Former Gov. David Beasley, a Republican called for the flag to be removed from atop the Capitol dome, where it once flew. Mr. Beasley’s effort won him little black support and a backlash from some Demorats in his losing bid for re-election in 1998.
well, that is true.....he also picked a fight with video poker games, who have a big lobby in SC, and that also cost him.
But that’s beside the point...which is that a Democrat put it on top of the dome and a Republican took it off the dome.
