Come on JD.  You know there are no grounds here for any kind of lawsuit.

Taxi-Dude
who told you what the attorney general's office plans to do?  I doubt seriously that Henry McMaster called you up to tell you that tidbit.  Did you get that news from Rick Driver?  IMHO Henry McMaster want waste another nickle on CW and BW and their attempts to destroy certain people in Anderson County.

Who are these citizens planning to hire as a lawyer?  Maybe Bob or his daughter would take the care pro bono.  And why do all you bozos who have hounded JP throughout his tenure as county administrator assume he is leaving the county?  Doesn't he own a house here?  A million dollars will make a lot of house payments.

Sorry Wyatt but Art would be too late for that position.  But maybe he can get an appointment to the vacated auditor's office once Jackie Hunter is hired as administrator.

Not to worry everyone.  I have it on good authority that the next chairman on the RNC will be SC's own Katon Dawson.  All the GOP worrying can stop.  The party will be in great hands under Katon Dawson's leadership-why he's practically superman, spiderman, and underdog all rolled up into one.  Just ask him--he'll tell you how great he is.

Willieh
You don't know what you're talking about.  I think you have Republikin confused with several other entities on this board and she ain't either one as far as I know.  But then you know it all don't you willieh--that's why you're running the Republican Party.

Re: Has Joey Preston resigned?

October 30, 2008 by elliefant

I'm not Mr. Tippet or Pappy but I've been living in Anderson more years than I care to remember.  This group didn't start off with Joey Preston or even Gene Taylor.  Go all the way back to the Gary Smoak.  This is the same group that whooped and hollered over Smoak and how he wasted money on the new courthouse and his renovations to the old courthouse.  This is the same group with some new additions that called into Matt and Bev before Matt died and John Woodson took over.  John would not tolerate their message of negativity so they went to Rick Driver who would probably still be out looking for black helicopters if he didn't have the "Real" taxpayers behind him.  As for taking over the Republican party, I don't have a clue how that happened but they sure did take over.  It's a wonder any Republicans can get elected.  The Democrats should be dancing in the streets.

They have acquired power through attrition.  Plus they've yelled long enough and loud enough that people actually accept what they're saying without proof.  Take the deal about the audit  CW and Harvell have spewed out that business about a forensic audit for so long that a majority of people have finally accepted what they say.  Most people have no understanding of what is meant by "forensic audit."  This topic has been discussed quite often on this forum.  Still people think the county government is trying to hide something.

I don't know maybe Mr. Preston has the right idea--just move someplace else.  Let the CAVE people have Anderson.  But beware--they're already talking about taking on the state next.

Re: Has Joey Preston resigned?

Mr. Hankey's hit the nail on the head.  That's how Cindy and her minions have taken over the Republican party through total intimidation.  They claim to have taken down the county and the state is next.  The officers in the ACRP are afraid to open their mouths to object to the likes of Crowe, Harvell West Freemantle and a host of others who run roughshod over legitimate Republican candidates and push their Libertarian ilk off as true Republicans.  I know I'm embarrassed by their actions.  I may not be a Republican much longer.

Re: District Two Debate

October 20, 2008 by elliefant

I thought we were discussing the District 2 race.  Holder has limited intelligence to put it kindly.  Try talking to him.  Then ask him why he doesn't have any signs???????  Makes you almost ashamed to be a Republican or an elephant for that matter.

Re: WAIM of the Blogland

October 20, 2008 by elliefant

Really Willieh, you have some nerve--I guess the guilty are always the first to protest.  How many of you are there that post under the screen name Willieh.  I know where you got the name and you use it to slam a good man.  Shame on you.  I haven't posted in a while--been busy and really didn't have much to say. But hey--we got moderators.  Most blogs belong to one person who moderate the comments.  If you don't want to play by the rules--go home  Oh that's right!  You support the Rick is Right crowd in the Republican party.  So you don't care about the rules.  And any one who doesn't march lock step with you and Cindy and Bob have to be wrong, bad, crooks, etc.  I say Keep up the good work JD, Pappy, IBV and Merrymac.  You go you moderators.  Keep the blog rolling.

Oh, I think you are the cavalry JD.  You are a voice of reason in a sea of cacophony( Remember Ralph ??? on WORD)  Thinks are getting really bad here.  I'm actually thinking about switching to sic Willie and Fitsnews for my blogging experiences.  I could join the high heel gang.  I can still wobble about on 5" heels.

I'm with you Petunia.  Surely the other posters must agree as well.  

Re: Which Anderson County employees will be terminated in 2009?

August 20, 2008 by elliefant

Amen to that Jack!  Prevail when will you stop your baseless allegations.  Talk to people who are on the Farmers Market Board.  They will tell you that they diligently check to make sure all the produce and products sold there are from Anderson County.

Re: Anderson's Animals

Well I wasn't there either but a very reliable source told me that Ms. Floyd came in late and left early.  So she may have been there for that vote.  I also understand the meeting ran until midnight.  

Re: Top 10 List . . .

August 13, 2008 by elliefant

Rick Freemantle is one of the nicest gentlemen you will ever know.  He is honest and cares more about our county than many of you do.  He is an excellent journalist and writer for the Times-Examiner and you should read his articles every week for honest up-to-date political comments.  He would be an excellent interim administrator.  Unless Ms. Cindy wants the job, which would be OK also.--from Prevail

What have you been smoking Prevail?  He is no journalist, and certainly not much of a Gentleman.  He wouldn't even qualify as a Rhett Butler wanna-be.  He's crudeand rude.  I've heard his comments at council--more fit for the local toilet than an public meeting.  As for being interim administrator, exactly what qulaifications does he have?  Does he have a college degree, experience in public administration?  Please Prevail have you been visiting Thomas Ravenel for a good snort?  If so share with the rest of us.  We need a quick pick me up.

Gosh deepthroat--you've let the cat out of the bag. That crowd has to pay Mr. Dill to get him to print their garbage. 

Re: Thank God for Texas....

August 8, 2008 by elliefant

Please add me to your list Prevail.  Shut down free speech by all means.  Let's see you keep me from posting on this blog.  Thumbs down all my post if you want.  ibva is right: it's all a matter of perspective.  My perspective of you is pretty low.  As your favorite radio host likes to point out you demogogue all those who don't agree with you.  Maybe you should be the one not allowed to spew your vicious innuendos, stupid gossip, and outright lies.

And while you're at it Prevail, why don't you run me out of town on a rail after you tar and feather me.  If this is what Anderson County, the state of South Carolina, and the Republican (conservative) party comes down to then I want know part of it.  I know now what Bill Dees meant when he stood up and said he was ashamed to be a Republican.  Some days I am too.

There probably is Drifter.  and I would say number one on the list is McAbee followed by Wilson in a close second.  Talk about petty revenge.   

Re: Thank God for Texas....

August 8, 2008 by elliefant

Give me a break Prevail.  Now you want to eliminate free speech.  So unless we agree with you and your right wing nut job friends we don't have the right to post on this blog.  What happened to the sentiment that I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Re: Strong and Mighty is WAIM"s Fortress Satire of Joey & Economic Development Department

Well Well Lee-cole do you live in Ms Floyd's district?  I believe the voters of her district have found her to be qualified because she has been re-elected for the past how many years and by an even more overwhelming majority than Cindy "letmeaskaquestionbutdon'tbotherwithananswercauseIknowyourlying" Wilson.  What were those margins over Tim Williams and Marshall Mitchell?  You know Lee you really should think for yourself and not regurgitate all the WAIM talking points.  And if you find Gracie unqualified and misinformed, what do you say about Bob "thedogatemyordiance" Waldrep?  He seems to be as senile and uninformed as Gracie does.  His inability to conduct a meeting in an orderly fashion is quite evident.  Go back and watch some of the council meetings while he was chairman.

Re: Write Candidate for County Council Districts 1 and 3

August 7, 2008 by elliefant

See Bob you answered your own question.  It is a matter of perspective.  And I too don't want to start a fight. We've already been whipped one time.  I just hope your group now that they're in power will work with all the people of Anderson but it looks like I will be disappointed.  And as for SSHM's post, I think he's trying to point out what goes around, comes around.  The pendulum swings you know.  It just seems to me that so far the new power brokers have proven that they can be just as mean and petty as the previous power brokers.  There is no new thing under the sun.

You're right about that Vent.  How about Fair and Balanced on the blog????  Seems to me Stupid was right in urging us to read Animal Farm 'cause right her in Anderson County all animals are equal except some animals are more equal than others.  And if you're into TVLand--don't forget Gunsmoke and Bonanza.  Does anybody know the mortality rate for being married to one of the Cartwrights???

Well plumbbob you beat me to that punchline.  I googled ACUSA and all i got was a link to the Episcopal Church website.  So now we are to have a right-wing Episcopal church for all people.  Will there be wine at communion?  If so count me in.  Since this is a church for all people will the good Father welcome all those people his radio station has slammed so unChristianly in the past primary.  Seems mightily hypocritical to me.  I'll stick with Flip's church of What's Happening Now.

I tried Petunia.  You see some of the thoughts we got.  I guess one person's negative is really another's positive.  Dog Days are upon us so we all must be baying at the moon.
