Sayyyy; who is funding this group and is ads; must be the DNC.

re: Governor Haley’s actions are both bizarre and unexplainable. It’s an attack on South Carolina’s economy and our workers...

the gov's attack on SC workers seems more egregious than the NLRB's (boeing case)...hard to tell who your friends are these days...any help in understanding appreciated...

@TwoNotch
THANKS...if what you say is true...she is not only a hypocritical christian...she violate all the tenets of her parent's religion...sikhism.

BTW with all the questions re BO muslim background...why has the sikh background of SC gov not been an issue...believe she still attends sikh services

full disclosure opine: not religious, but christianity, judaism, muslim and sikh, etcetc, religions are "spokes on the same wheel" (maybe gandhi said).

BTW2 if i became a believer...may attend sikh services.

What is wrong with deepening the port?

Please stop! Maybe she had to make a deal to get Charleston done! Grahm, what a joke! So you want her out of office for this? You obviously have another agenda. Grahm is the 1 who has 2 go!

Trust me Charleston will be deepened. But give me ONE reason she needs to go, and I am no fan just curious.

Clark is right to say we should listen to Ron Paul. In a Republican presidential debate on 5/15/07, Paul stated clearly that we were attacked on 9/11 as blowback from our foreign policy. Indeed, The 9/11 Commission Report (page 147) reports that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed said he hates us because of our biased support for Israel, which is in violation of international law and UN Security Council resolutions because of its illegal brutal occupations. Because of 9/11 we blundered into the ill-conceived invasion of Afghanistan. Following this, the Israel Lobby neocons fixed the intelligence to lie us into war with Iraq on behalf of Israel. Iran is next on their agenda.

In the 8/11/11 debate, Paul stated that we should stop spending trillions on all these unnecessary wars. We’re going bankrupt. Like Iraq, Iran is no threat to us. Paul pointed out that the CIA has said there is no evidence that Iran is making a nuclear bomb, and he noted that the current anti-Iranian propaganda is just like the mendacious pro-war propaganda which led us into the unnecessary war with Iraq. Paul reiterated at the debate 9/12/11 that we are under attack out of revenge for our foreign policy. “We are there occupying their land. What would we do if China did to us what we do to those countries over there?” “The idea that the whole Muslim world is attacking us because we are free and prosperous is not true.” “They [al Qaeda] have more attacks against us and the American interests per month than occurred in all the years before 9/11.” He noted that Al Qaeda’s original complaints against us were due to 1. Our bases in their holy lands in Saudi Arabia; 2. Lack of fairness to the Palestinians; 3. “We had been bombing and killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis for 10 years. Would you be annoyed? If you’re not, then there’s some problem.”

On NBC Meet the Press 10/23/11, Ron Paul again condemned our counterproductive foreign policy. For instance, our drone attacks all over the place, which kill civilians, serve to inspire anti-US hatred. He asked would we not be upset if say China did that to us! He noted that we have morphed the military and private sector. The combination of CIA and contractors in the armed fortress we call our embassy in Iraq, the largest embassy in the world, is viewed as a continuing occupation. In other words, the troops aren’t coming home, we just changed their names. Furthermore, with 300 nukes, Israel is in no danger of an Iranian invasion. He noted that during the 60’s we faced 30,000 nukes in the USSR, but we survived without ever going to war with them.
At the 10/18/11 debate Paul correctly pointed out that our empire is spread too thin and overextended and that our biggest danger is the ballooning debt. He said we have 900 bases in 150 countries and like the USSR, which collapsed after going broke from their Afghanistan occupation, we're committing economic suicide. When discussing our lack of border security with Mexico, Paul criticized our spending resources on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border when we can't even protect our own. We’re headed for financial calamity.
Ron Paul 11/6/11 on Fox News Sunday told Chris Wallace that having too many troops around the world hurts our national defense and helps bankrupt our country.

He opposes all these illegal, unconstitutional, and undeclared wars we’ve been fighting. In the past 10 years, these foreign expenditures have contributed $4 trillion to our national debt.

This is my post - not Ron Paul's -------
Col (Ret) Tom Wilkinson said it best. We can project power faster and better off our carriers and air force, including move troops from the USA, than from fixed bases around the world.

Close most of the overseas bases; Pacific leave Okinawa and South Korea open. In Europe leave Mildenhall, England; Rota, Spain; Ramstein, Germany and Aviano, Italy open.

Close the rest. Why do we need bases in Crete, Sicily and Naples? Just inertia and a far greater Defense Dept budget than we need or can afford.

Retire all military with 25 years service or more. Promote younger people. No lay-offs, firings or buy-outs. Just send them home with thanks and a pension.

@ReadIt "...if Savannah's port gets deepened first or if Savannah's port is deepened and Charleston's never is."

dont have a horse in this race...and it's good for the area regardless which port is deepened first or only...but;

it was definitely NOT in charleston area's interest to go for savannah area first...which should have been the gov's primary interest...and have yet to hear a reasonable explanation...just the usual spin crap.

Savannah is the 2nd busiest port for exports in America that's whY!

@geo grace: " He [paul] opposes all these illegal, unconstitutional, and undeclared wars we’ve been fighting. In the past 10 years, these foreign expenditures have contributed $4 trillion to our national debt."...etcetc...

dont agree with most of paul's proposed policies...they will only work in a society where there are no bad guys (just honest injuns) and all work for the common good...not party/self good.

but paul's evaluation of the military industrial complex (MIC) is spot on in my opinion...BTW;

didnt IKE warn us of the MIC...and didn't we learn anything after being lied (bay of tonkin) into the vietnam war...when will we ever learn...perhaps we never will, vincent...

"They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they [we] never will..."

We haven't declared war on anyone since Dec 1941. I think it's because no one in Congress has the "cojones" to go on record. They'll just vote appropriations and say they're supporting the troops. Sad!
