OT: SC Governor's race
- Thread starter Flo-Tiger
- Start date
Obviously, don’t have a dog in this fight, but “in” for the uninformed opinions on drilling, geology, environmental, and petroleum release remediation technologies.
McMaster filed suit against NC over water transfers- after generating some publicity for an election and spending a few million dollars- he settled the case he had no chance of winning under the condition that NC tell us before they decided to do whatever they were going to do. Sounds like a well qualified litigator - NOT. Henry may win, but it will be based on being a career politician and a Trump endorsement, not on merit or ability.
It is not closed minded to be consistently conservative. In fact, it requires a lot more courage to stand up for concervative values.
only problem is the other guy donated money to Graham. I cant get over that.
I will not vote for someone who donates money to Linsdey.
Oh but it did happen. He was extremely slow to react. My friends who owned property on the Gulf Coast were furious.
Whoa whoa whoa. I am supposed to read the platforms myself? I thought I was supposed to click on whoever had the letter I like better next to their name.
I bet next you will tell me it's a bad idea to vote straight-party. /s
I go by Niki Haley's comments, and his campaign ads. However, I am always happy to learn more. Why do you think he is the man for the job?
My apologies. In the runoff between McMaster and Warren I think I'd rather McMaster win. I will vote for Smith against whoever wins the runoff. I'm not registered to a political party but that's more stubbornness than anything (I'm effectively a Democrat). You don't have to be registered to a party to vote in these sorts of elections in SC.
Not in this state- anyone can be consistently conservative- courage is not required to follow the herd. I just hope you got to a conservative position on each issue by rational thought as opposed to simply not listening to both sides of a discussion.
Nobody running with an (R) or a (D) by their name represents fiscally conservative values anymore anyway.
Can’t you read? His friend who owns property on the gulf coast was furious!
This race has been very disheartening for me. I gave a fairly significant amount of money to Catherine Templeton, I even had a fundraiser for her at my home. However, she obviously listen to the wrong people when it came to her campaign strategy and overall messaging. It is really a shame because I think she had the potential to be a very good governor.
I have only met John Warren once. Regardless of one's political affiliation, it is hard not to be impressed by his overall biography.
People calling him a predatory lender are stretching the truth a tad, in my opinion. He loans Money to Real Estate Investors at interest rates someone higher than what you would get from a bank, but you are also incurring more risk when you lend someone who is trying to flip property and make money on it, as opposed to just live in the property and paying monthly mortgage payment every month.
My dad and his crowd around town are enamored with Warren.
My wife and McMasters daughter room together in college, and she is always been very nice to me. I think South Carolina has enough strong leaders at the federal and local level that we can survive with any of the three is governor. I will probably vote for Warren in the runoff, but I would not be shocked if McMaster pulls this thing out 51% to 49% or something in that range.

Lee Bright wanted S.C. to have their own currency. He is a bull in a china shop.
I could care less if he donated to Graham...Bright is awful. I want Graham out as much as anyone but if we go from Gowdy to Bright we will be a laughing stock. Bright will embarrass our state
Not a Republican or a Democrat here. Have major issues with the way both parties are run. I do lean right however. Will be voting Smith and happy to do it. The man's a purple heart and bronze star Veteran, family man, and besides...we are talking about SC governor's race. Its not like he gets a vote in the US House or Senate. Will disclose that I met him for the first time about 4 years ago. Recently experienced a house fire and at the time I couldn't rub two cents together. Him and Kirkland (wife) took me to Cola's on a whim and bought me dinner. Always thought it said a ton about his character.
The original cliam was that Obama "actively prohibited corrective action immediately after the blowout," making the damage worse. Now it's that he was slow to react at all.
Got it.
Henry has lived his whole life in the good old boy network while drawing government checks. Also was never camara shy. Warren!
Very True. I just cant stand Graham or anyone that would send him money.
That's been our problem, these people go to Washington and they aren't who they said they were.

There are not enough links available to the information pertinent to this subject. The information was widely available, even the MSM provided copies amounts.
So it was heavily covered by the MSM but there's no longer information on it? Seems made up.
So your Not With President Trump, Congress or Senate...also, you Can’t Be voting for a So call group of Republicans in Out State Office, after all Things like SCE&G are not in keeping with Conservative Values, are they? Just Asking!
Indeed. It's soooo brave for him to stand up for conservative values on the liberal bastion that is Tiger Illustrated.
I'm going to have to do some homework I guess, hadn't put enough thought into Smith as an option.
I can't vote for a person (James Smith)whose wife won't take his last name.
That's about the dumbest reason I've heard of to not vote for someone.
During a television debate against incumbent U.S. Senator Fritz Hollings in 1986, Republican candidate Henry McMaster challenged his opponent to take a drug test.
"I'll take a drug test," Hollings responded, "if you'll take an IQ test."

I appreciate your concern about my rational thought. After listening to liberal positions for many years, I have learned to ignore them.
So the president who won the office by pledging to drain the swamp throws support to the textbook definition of Career politician/swamp dweller? And people don’t think that’s odd?
McMaster is a joke and has been for 30 years. It’s the one thing democrats and republicans should be able to agree on.
Columbia is a cess pool. That idiot needs to go. Warren or the Dem are better choices.

Of course. Terrible tragedy in 2010. That wasn’t EXPLORATION. That was drilling. I would also think we had great learnings and the drilling industry is even safer now. I would not say decades of harm. 3-4 years of tough times after the incident but it’s thriving now. The people and the ocean are very resilient.
