They do not follow the rule of law and consider themselves above it. This creates dangerous situations for some now, others later.

The boss (of course, male) walks into the office, and pats his female secretary's rear end. He says, " I like them round and plump." Now, someone from the 21st century tells this boss that he has done and said an awful thing, and he is being downright sexist. His response: "I was giving my secretary a friendly greeting. It was just harmless fun. It is absurd for anyone to make a big thing of it. How could women possibly take offense at this? I'll have you know that I am friends with many women!" Dear stupid Spaniards, don' t you think it's about time you learned that it is offensive when the people you direct your words and actions think it's offensive. The one dishing it out has no say in whether people should be offended or not. Join us. We have already moved into the 21st century. Hope you can catch up.

He’s from the heart of the district, he’s currently the vice chairman of House Ways and Means, and he has the ability to raise some serious cash." Seriously??? Next time you're paid to drop some "scoop" at least get the facts right. Rex lives in Easley, not exactly the heart of Dist. 3. He's never met a tax increase he didn't like and has all the charisma and personality of doorknob. “If Rice does decide to toss his name into contention, then competitors beware.

By resigning, Democrats would lose control over the state election machinery. As we saw with Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004, in a close vote, that can make all the difference.
