		        <![CDATA[<p>Gregory is a hack. He did the same thing when someone asked him last year about how the media basically gave Bush a free pass in the lead up to the war and everything else. He acted like he was Woodward and Bernstein takin it to the man or something LOL it was pretty hilarious.</p>

<p>He sucks. If young journalists look up to guys like him our nation is toast.</p>

<p>I guess I really don't care for either of them. </p>

<p>Katrina really was strong. Rove at one point came at her with "Have you even been to Eric Cantor's website and read his stimulus plan?" or something like that and she said yes and ripped the GOP a new one.<br />
I was hoping to hear something about Will's environment stuff too.</p>

<p>The guy on Face The Nation is probably the only one I don't hate(not sure if its hate or some level of disgust mixed in with anger). Overall the news died for me on TV when The News Hour went into war mode back in 2003. Nothing but nonstop shills ever since. <br />

		        <![CDATA[<p>George is worse in my opinion. He hit the dem he spoke to with every bs republican talking point he could find then tried to ask him a moronic question about whether one specific tax increase actually raised taxes. When the congressman replied that the single increase he mentioned was offset by many other tax decreases Georgie wasn't interested. </p>

<p>I was listening to it from another room and the only person who balanced out Rove and Will was the woman he had on who shut their bs down. Don't know who it was but she kept them in check nicely.</p>

<p>Asking Eric Cantor about the polls showing repubs are losing the debate on stimulus and everything else was a start but the George let him off the hook. Was that the same approach he used with the dem guest? Not hardly.<br />

		        <![CDATA[<p>Your local charter school is a diamond in a manure pile. I was telling everyone who'd listen that sales tax will not pay for schools when no one is buying anything because of the recession- this was back when Sanford was tryin to sell that crap. Now everyone sees it for what it is. Id rather pay a lil more in property taxes than see that jackal lower the resources of an already messed up system. I'm right up the road from you near BMW but in Spartanburg County. My children are too young for school but we'll be moving out of state or sending them to private school. The only thing good IMO about my local school is that the HS was #1 in the nation at football. My local elementary is nice but I seriously don't trust these people. </p>

<p>Most of the upstate is poor too. And the improvements we did get in higher paid jobs are going fast. Plants are closing all over the upstate. Those that aren't closing are reducing wages and benefits. I know some people who were laidoff after 15-20yrs on the job. These people are not highly skilled workers and most likely wont find anything new. People waited all day at the BiLo Center for a job fair today. Friday and Saturday Walmart is having a job fair at a local community college for a new processing center theyre opening nearby. 500 jobs. That place will be mobbed. <br />
Look at how bad Charleston is. I had no idea it was that bad. Its like the worst of the worst- on every top ten list for every type of violent crime. </p>

<p>SC is run like a plantation. If you have a little education you can get everything you need out of it but if you don't god help you. </p>

<p>I wish someone in the Democratic Party would send someone down here to whip this state into shape. You pretty much have people voting on moral christian right wing stuff but if someone spoke to their true needs it would be a different story. Columbia and a few other spots have some dems but aside from the Obama campaign I havent seen much going on. I dont know if you used Obama's site but I saw thousands of people near me who were trying to be active. I was really shocked. </p>

<p>Is it just me or do you feel like youre in some alternate universe with how things work down here?</p>]]>

		        <![CDATA[<p>The South Carolina Democratic Party elected them through a highly detailed strategy of ineptitude, apathy and overall stupidity.</p>

<p>This state is poor as hell and the local dems do nothing. Dems could run this state easily. Schools are for feces, infrastructure is horrible - you name it, it probably sucks in SC, with a few exceptions- no inflated real estate market to collapse.<br />
As someone who's been taking in the view around here for 10 years here's the deal- all the educated persons in SC (most not all) live off of the exploitation of poor and lower middle class South Carolinians. This includes SC dems who are unorganized. You have huge numbers of poor whites and african americans who are basically getting nothing from government except a subpar k-12 education, an overpriced public college education(tuition is twice that in NC and GA who's systems are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better)or a nice prison uniform.</p>

<p>Last cycle many races had no Dem contender for office. In a cycle where dem turnout was huge- where most repubs were disgusted with the GOP, not even a friggin name to check off on.<br />
