Doc on Call- Girl, you are a Cary, N.C. lawyer & former judicial candidate who lost her job. Do your erstwhile passtimes include inflicting scurrilous inuendo on other state’s politicians?

Your writings, rather rants seem a bit prolix, if I may say so. How gratuitously you trashed Jindal and Haley in only one, meaningless sentance fragment (above), however.

My suggestion: try journalism where your unsupported blather will be welcomed.

- A South Carolina independent voter, who has a major problem with lawyers of any political bent in politics.

Haley (a real producer with potential to be S.C.’s Bobby Jindal) before she gains real momentum.*Dino

God help South Carolina if Rep Haley decides to get a sex change operation and become another Booby Jindal Speech Therapist on National Republican politics…..

The allegation against Haley & Folk are too bizarre by half for an
obvious reason:

. TPS has drawn more public attention to the episode than it would have or could have otherwise received or meritted.

More likely, this is some feeble shenanigans by Bobby Harrell’s backers (the parasitic lawyer lobby) attempting to crush Haley (a real producer with potential to be S.C.’s Bobby Jindal) before she gains real momentum.

Representative Haley will be a breath of freash air to this race. She is intelligent, articulate and more important, a conservative. Her record and reputation show that she may be exactly what this state needs.

But remember, We the People are tired of the establishment.
The ” big three” candidates as you call them are all losers, lousy , and none should be elected in this state.
I don’t know a thing about Ms. Haley but I do know something about McMaster, Barrett and Bauer.
None of the above get any attention from me because they are all losers, elite, part of our continuing problem in this state.

SC will get better when a human being runs the joint

Does the author of this blog still work for a political consulting company that is currently has a retainer with Henry McMaster and is and will be doing work on his gubernatorial campaign? If so then I would have appreciated a disclaimer on this article. That would have been appropriate.

You know this post really has nothing to do with Representative Haley, right? All you do is attack Folks throughout and try to link Haley by mentioning a campaign consulting fee from LAST election. You never mention any direct attacks made by Haley.

And while you link to the FITSNew’s “long history” of writing pro-Haley articles, you forgot to mention the equally long history of anti-Harrell articles as well (http://www.fitsnews.com/?s=Bobby+Harrell&x=0&y=0). These attacks have been occurring well before Haley announced her candidacy.

And then you write this:

“So why would Haley and Folks make such blatantly questionable attacks on the Speaker of the House? Critics say they are trying to elevate Harrell to be target in the gubernatorial race.”

“Haley and Folks”? When in your article did you prove that Haley had anything to do with the attacks?

And “critics”? Who are these critics? By my count you only had one anonymous source mentioned in the article that claimed Haley was making the Speaker a target. Where are the rest?

The only straw man I see here is the anonymous claim that Haleys campaign strategy is to run against Bobby Harrell.
