The Senate is Demented.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Backtrack, as usual, you deliberately implied deception on my part when the fact is that I didn't post 99% of the article, including tons of other items that are positive about the economy.
Vrede did not mention the facts I posted. Does he deny that?

Your "fact" was cherry-picked to give a dishonest picture of the overall story.

Direct quote from poster in regard to discussion of Scott, from before he was elected:

"Strom Thurmond must be spinning in his grave! The mere thought that an African-American has forced a Thurmond into a run-off much less potentially could defeat him would have been unbelievable just a generation ago. No wonder our state and our country have gone down hill in a hurry. Scott will be just another Clyburn or Obama. His supporters like to say he could be South Carolina’s version of JC Watts. Yeah right, and how did that work out for his district?? This is one ole’ Dixiecrat that won’t be supporting Scott in the primary, the general election or ever!!"

It's really about all you can expect from someone who hates America and likes to think they annoy me.

I posted the headline plus 5 words which means that, as I said, I did not post 99% of the article that I linked. By the same token, you chose not to post all the other positive data in it. I have no problem with you posting the elements that you consider relevant, it's your implication that I was being deceptive and your now trying to weasel out of doing so that is sleazy.
"you chose not to post all the other positive data in it".

Just like Vrede. Your outrage is noted.

Scott's getting named as Dement's replacement. Now all those SC people who just couldn't stand that the President was an umm, ahem, "Kenyan" will have a black Senator! Republican affirmative action at its best.

I feel fortunate to know Tim Scott from my professional endeavors in SC. He is a fine young man. Hopefully being in the "Senate Club" will not cause him to lose his humility.

Wow - Scott is the only black Republican since Edward Brooke. If anyone want to see how far Republicans have fallen from reason, just compare Scott to Brooke. I would have expected Nikki Heat to put a fringe rightie in office. The villagers with torches and pitchforks would have been outside the Governor's Mansion if she hadn't. And I'm sure that if you knew him personally or lived next door, you might find Scott to be a nice guy. But man... Here's my prediction - Scott will get scalped in 2014, if he doesn't get outed or otherwise scandalized out of office before then.

The national GOP will tout him as their token black guy, but not in SC. I say he doesn't make it through the primary. Reminds me of one of my favorite movies, "Blazing Saddles."

It is clear Vrede and O Really don't have thorough understanding of the politics in SC. Mr. Scott was elected from a majority White district from Charleston to Myrtle Beach. I don't see any serious primary challenge to him in 2014. If O Really has any other info on him he should state it and not make an inference without substance. That remark is below him.

Yeah, but you don't know how these boys work. When they find one that toe's the massuh's line, they love him to death. He's a beacon on the hill for all those others who don't. He gets invited to all the festivities. He's one of the family.

You made the inference, with or without substance.

With a name like Tim Scott I would not have known the man's race until the regular out spoken lefties threw in their two cents. I guess they cannot accept that a black man doesn't drink the dem kool aid and, let's not forget the role the Chic had in making this man what he is.

Some might say Haley took a page from the dem play book but Scott is not Jesee Jackson Jr.
