Ignorance Job in Charleston City Paper

So, with Sarah plain and intolerant out of the way, who's the leader of the Republican Party? Well, nobody. At least at the moment. But there is a movement going on, one that might reshape the GOP the way Barry Goldwater's ideas gradually transformed the party. And it's centered around Texas Congressman Ron Paul, a man the current GOP won't even let into its national convention.

That said, Paul isn't the guy the GOP needs to turn to. Aside from his opposition to the Iraq War, a novel move for a member of the current GOP, Paul's beliefs are too tied to the past — he's an isolationist who wants the U.S. out of NATO and the U.N., a proponent of dismantling the Federal Reserve and ending the income tax, and a believer in the guns-and-God platform that has supported the Republican Party over the last eight years. With Ron Paul, it'll be one step forward, 12 steps back.

And if you scroll down, there's a picture of Mark Sanford.


On the right, the unassuming maverick, whose alter-ego showed a steely determination to trim budgets and take on his fellow Republicans back in his home state of South Carolina

Gee, I wonder who they favor for president in 2012. :rolleyes:

An ignorant mischaracterization yes. A smear job? Nah.

Okay, now it says "Ignorance Job", which should get people's attention, as well as be more politically, or flirpleally correct. :D

It'll be funny to hear Jack Hunter's (Southern Avenger) reply to this article since he also writes for the Charleston City Paper, which is a very liberal paper with the exception of Jack's writings.

Don't count on it.

If South Carolina is indeed home to the worst Republican in Graham, we can take solace in the fact that we also have one of the best in Governor Mark Sanford.


When Sanford was in the House, his voting record more closely resembled that of Texas Republican Ron Paul than any other Congressman. Like Paul, Sanford is dedicated to limited government even when his own party is not.

Whoever it is, it's obviously not Mark Sanford, judging from their satirical 'dispatch from the future'.

In case you didn't recognize the satire, that was something of a hit piece on Sanford.
