If there wasn't anything else more important in this state, it would be fitting for Republicans to waste more time on the repeatedly failed push for taxpayer-funded school vouchers for private schools in South Carolina. And now Dick Armey's FreedomWorks is jumping right into the debacle - along with Republican yawn Jim DeMint. The recently introduced choice bill, H. 4576, proposes simple sol...

Why does our lame governor obsess over unions ? Is she that focused on political maneuvering for bigger and better things not including South Carolina? COLUMBIA — South Carolina Republican lawmakers say they want to get even tougher on unions to keep them out of the state. Gov.

South Carolina's governor could possibly be seen today licking her wounds. Not only did state Republicans vote against her presidential candidate of choice, she couldn't even deliver her county to Mitt Romney.
