Vote Anti Incumbent

Republicans have been acting like jerks disrupting town halls meetings in a crude and disrespectful way and now one of their congressmen (Joe Wilson of SC) did the same, with a heckle to the Presidential of “You Lie” during his speech to the Congress about Health Care. Republicans are using their “town hall” style disruptions now in congress.  If you are in Joe Wilson”s district of Columbia, Beaufort and Hilton Head Island SC, then you should be very disappointed, maybe enough to call his office and complain.  And them vote him out of office.

For the rest of us, Republicans have repeatedly disappointed us with their conceited I know better than you attitudes.  No matter that they lost the election, they just step on the gas going in the wrong direction.   Their right wing extremist followers love it, but that will get them nowhere but some camera time.  The rest of us just shake our heads and vow to stay clear of these extremists and their win at any costs.

According to Wikipedia, Joe Wilson has a past history of outbursts:

Controversy over “hatred of America” remark

On a 2002 live broadcast of the C-SPAN talk show Washington Journal, guests Wilson and Democratic congressman Bob Filner were discussing Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. When Filner said that the US “gave” Iraq “chemical and biological weapons” in the 1980s, Wilson said this idea was “made up” and commented to Filner “This hatred of America by some people is just outrageous. And you need to get over that.” Wilson apologized for his remarks in statements to the press.^[15][16]

Criticism of Thurmond’s illegitimate daughter

In 2003, following Essie Mae Washington-Williams‘ revelation that she was the illegitimate daughter of Wilson’s former employer, the late Senator Strom Thurmond, Wilson was among those who publicly doubted her claim. Wilson said even if her story was true, she should not have revealed it because “it’s a smear” on Thurmond’s image and was a way to “diminish” Thurmond’s legacy.^[17] After Thurmond’s family acknowledged the truth of Washington-Williams’ revelation, Wilson apologized but said that he still thought that she should not have revealed that Thurmond was her father.^[18]

CNN reports Sen. John McCain was the projected winner of South Carolina’s Republican primary Saturday night despite a strong showing by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee among the evangelical Christian voters who dominated the day’s turnout.

Comment: How can McCain win over someone who dominated the day’s turnout.

Exit polls found self-described evangelical Christians made up nearly 60 percent of the vote, and Huckabee — an ordained Baptist minister who emphasized his conservative Christian credentials — was the choice of 40 percent of those voters. But he took only 12 percent of the nonevangelical vote, while McCain took 40 percent and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, 21 percent

Comment: So Huckabee took only 12 percent of the nonevangelical vote.  Sounds like reverse vote against the dominating evangelicals.  They have been in power, or their man Bush has, for a long time and I think people don’t like the way things are going.

In 2004 John Edwards won this South Carolina primary.  Will he do it again in 2008?  Latest polls show Edwards in third place with Clinton second, and Barack Obama winning South Carolina primary.

On the Republican side, SC looks to put the skids on John McCain just like they did in 2004.  Latest polls show Romney in second place with Huckabee winning the South Carolin primary. The SC primary is this Sat. Jan 19, 2008.

If you want to vote in South Carolina’s Democratic primary, you’d better hit the post office today. Dec 26 is the deadline to register if you want to vote. In South Carolina, voters may vote in either the Republican or Democratic primaries, but not both.
