State Rep. Nancy Mace, the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, won her Republican primary in South Carolina, CNN projected Tuesday evening, setting her up against Democratic Rep. Joe Cunningham in one of the most competitive House races in the country.
Mace is running with the backing of the Club for Growth PAC and is touting her support for President Donald Trump in the Lowcountry district he won in 2016 by over a dozen points. Mace, who lost a Senate primary to Lindsey Graham in 2014, made headlines last year for telling her own story of rape on the state House floor when advocating for a rape and incest exemption in an anti-abortion bil

I am pleased to see an increased presence of women from the GOP.

She did a good job in her campaign.

I’m optimistic in spite of this shit!

Well, at least he didn’t say we have no buoyancy.

“My point is I understand African Americans have a higher incidence of chronic conditions and it makes them more susceptible to death from COVID. But why it doesn’t make them more susceptible to just get COVID. Could it just be that African Americans or the colored population do not wash their hands as well as other groups or wear a mask or do not socially distance themselves? That could be the explanation of the higher incidence?”

Another prolifer who wants to drown the baby in the bathtub

[Hamilton Samuels]

Everyone wants the same thing. No matter their culture.

That's just not true, beyond Maslow's bottom tier.

Just a simple single example:

There are people who would rather get less money if it means being ahead of their neighbors than get more money but have it be the same as their neighbors get.

I find that personally unfathomable, but reluctantly admit that it seems to be true. But it sure is a divergence from "the same thing!"

Perhaps I should be more clear. Everyone wants ready access to quality health care, housing, education, steady income, security, and a future for their children. But I understand the notion behind John Prine's song, "Some Humans Ain't Human", too. (Song found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIWotODqidE)

I think that the way forward for our country is to acknowledge the needs of everyone, and to consider everyone as worthy of having those needs met and in fair and just ways. Our system allows for great debate on just how to do so, and I believe that setting the goal of providing fair access to those things I just mentioned in the last paragraph is what needs to take place.

That's what Biden has to do. George H. W. Bush called it "the vision thing". Setting that vision for all is far more important to gathering the nation together, IMO, than strictly attacking the dark forces of Trump.

Come on.

America told Obama to get that shit out of here.

White America has consistently voted Republican against their own interests because they think the policies will deny access to minorities who do only want free stuff.
They feel they should get the same policies because they have either earned them or they deserve them When the policies they voted against don’t benefit them, either they blame it on the mooches and takers of the “inner city.”

Remember when Trump shut down the government (ever notice how many times in the GOP closed down the government or default on our debts to get their way?) and when the pain hit a woman whose husband was in service and therefore getting boned, she complained Trump wasn’t hurting the people he’s supposed to hurt!

LBJ once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. Give him someone to blame and he’ll lick your pecker and tickle your bunghole!”

Are you saying things won't change because "White America" is too committed to racism to change?

I’m saying things haven’t changed because WHITE AMERICA has been too committed to racism to change.

I’ve said several times over the last two weeks I have never been this hopeful for 5he future in my entire adult life.

Yes, haven't changed. But I believe it can change, and perhaps there is much more will to have it change than perhaps either of us may know.

But it starts with each of us. You and me and all other Americans, not just a portion of America.

Vote.

Fuck me...

Did you see yesterday’s primaries?

I won't apologize for being optimistic about my fellow Americans.

You can afford to be optimistic all the time.

I tell you I’m more hopeful NOW than at any time in my adult life and you keep making it all about YOU.

You don’t hear shit if you don’t listen.

Meanwhile, in the USA the GOP is practicing to suppress the vote.

Gee. I've tried to be respectful during our conversation. Please try to reciprocate.

I hear your anger. I hear your frustration. I hear your pain. And I empathize.

 But it's not yours alone. I hate to see do much discord in my country.

I'm looking for ways to advance how we treat each other.

So I'm asking you to consider a softer tone when you respond to me. Softer. Not conciliatory. Say what you need to say, but try to write as respectfully as I'm sure you'd like to be addressed.

It wasn't the system, in total. It was the execution of the system couple with denial that the system itself could have *any* problems.

Most of the issues could and should have been anticipated.

Hey Pollyanna!

Who was in charge of the system?

Why did the governor decide to over ride the bid of an experienced company to contract with the firm that had never provided such a service but was represented by the guy who used to be CoS of the Gov when Kemp was Sec.State.

100 mill funneled to a supporter for machines that had been used before but were deployed on a huge scale for the first time.

Win win for the GOP

Nice post you slimy turd.

Larry covered most of it, but since you are slow it bears repeating.

They misallocated the 100 mil to by a pre-flummoxed system instead of the tools to administer free, fair, transparent, and efficient elections. Kemp barely kept his nuts with all the hanky panky he pulled to become governor. He and everyone around him knew and still knows he’s the type of crap individual who’s governorship and who’s party’s stewardship would become less popular by the day while being pulled down by the bunker baby. Their solution was even more hanky panky on an even greater industrial scale. Thus the “improvements”. A vulture feeding public money to cronies who have no intention or ability to do anything but a shitty job is no virtue, but only a deeper and filthier level of vice.

That’s why the management of elections in Georgia rises to the same level of quality as the federal Covid response.

That’s why your party and it’s tottering leadership polls the way it polls.
