And that Goldfinch has not been a friend to SC gun owners, opposing Constitutional carry.

Will Stephen Goldfinch’s attempts to gut and kill Constitutional Carry hurt his bid for AG?

No affiliation with Palmetto Gun Rights, just the most convenient source I found.

I’ve shot thousands of rounds through machine guns at Goldfinch’s property. I don’t know about you. But, I think a machine gun owning AG is a step in the right direction.

Nope, like most people I've never met him so I have to reply on his voting record and what I can find online.  An opinion piece is one thing but he chose aye or nay and it's public record.  Maybe he should have told people why he voted the way he did.  Too late now though, guess we'll see.  Looks like the only winner called so far is Wilson over Evette.

Looks like Cody Simpson will win AG Commissioner. He will do good at that job. He come from a farming family and also has the government experience to handle that side of it. Ford is a farmer. But, he doesn’t know his way around the office.

I’m still pro Goldfinch. But, that’s because I know him. (And machine guns.)

Wilson is a goofy SOB and I’ll have a hard time holding my nose for him in November.

Agreed, Simpson seemed to be the better choice for Ag and yeah, like Miss Lindsay, what are you gonna do about the others?  The dems have horrible people running and even if I were a betting man I wouldn't want to put money on November.  As bad as they are, I'm guessing they're still going to need all the R votes they can get to overcome people who are openly espousing policies that aren't in our best interest (trying to be nice here and pick my words).

The good (or bad) news is that, in SC, the General Assembly runs the show. With a veto proof super majority, Governor is just a figurehead, kind of like The Royal Family.

Now, the General Assembly is full of RINOs. They’ve been in power, in all three branches, for 3 decades. So, why aren’t we the least taxed, most free, state in the union?

As always, so much squandered potential.  They sure seem to be self serving RINOs for the most part.  SC today is, sadly, nothing like the SC of my youth, and I'm only in my fifties.

Why are liberals...raging ones at that...in positions of executive management in major state agencies?

State also needs to slow down on growth, infrastructure and service is not keeping up

I've noticed that is a split between rinos and the more conservative part of the party

As a side note we have bigger issues like practicing lawyers allowed to be active politicians...thats a huge conflict issue to me

SC-01 will be an interesting race. I am hoping voters will see past "I'm a Navy Admiral" line.

Im ok with Wilson. His brother Julian is a co-owner of PSA so I expect him to do right with the gun world in SC.

In the continuing idiocy that is SC politics, I'm now getting campaign texts for Andrews (running against Miss Lindsey), and they all lead off with something to do with "...treating childhood gunshot victims...".  Looking online, there is almost nothing about this woman, who claims to be from Charleston but lives in DC who began her own antigun lobbying group.  Nothing of any substance, essentially just guns bad.  Once again I'm going to be forced to vote for that warhawk PoS to try to keep an even bigger PoS out of office.

Should be illegal to blast your phone with calls and texts constantly...republican or democrat...Idgaf i didn't give you my number and no I never checked a box

This is really the first year I've gotten campaign texts but Lord, it's been nuts.  I don't know if I pissed off someone and they put me a democrat list somewhere or what but starting about a week before the primaries I was getting over a dozen calls and texts a day and it ramped up through election day (I'm assuming most of the unknown calls were political, never seen the numbers before and a lot of them were from out of state).  The number of out of state dems wanting me to vote for them or donate money was really crazy.  It's slowed to around three to six a day and most of them are SC people.  Normally I only get maybe a dozen calls and texts a week.    

If you've registered your phone on the do not call list it ought to block all spam, politicians shouldn't have been allowed to exclude themselves but we know how that goes. General spam callers, but especially scammers, ought to receive drone strikes.
