Non-Standard Politics : Is Gresham Barrett a worthy Gubernatorial candidate?

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:22:54 +0000

Media. DeMint has taken advantage of many national media interviews fighting against legislation and bad policies. I appreciate being represented by people who share my views, that's what representation is all about, but when we have a rogue government on our hands it isn't enough to be passive about it. Some other notable accomplishments are: * Blocking an anti-democracy ambassador to Haiti * Stalling the healthcare senate bill, delaying the vote until day or two before Christmas (he and Coburn were the only ones willing to do sentry duty and say "I object" to prevent unanimous consent) * Introducing term limits and balanced budget Constitutional amendments These are recent things. He tells some of the earlier actions he took in the House and Senate, which are detailed in his book Saving Freedom. He has a measure of initiative that some of our other republicans apparently lack.

Yes, you are correct, I now know that he is from Westminster, SC, which helps me understand a little more why he would have his only townhall in Seneca. However it would still seem to be a good strategic move to pick a location more central in the district, and more populated. Anything else?
