I reported to you earlier that Senator Tom Davis (Conservative—Beaufort) crafted an amendment to more precisely define the action of stopping Obamacare in South Carolina. I will spare you the legalese, but it effectively prevented the use of state resources to promote or pursue Obamacare. I can tell you without a doubt that it would have worked too. I know this because the RINOcrat majority successfully challenged the amendment on a technicality in order to prevent it from being adopted. When, in fact, the Conservatives in the Senate tried to challenge the ruling, the RINOcrat majority voted to shut us down. The short story is that once the RINOcrats killed the viable amendment, then they successfully hid behind the “unconstitutionality” of “nullification” to kill the bill altogether.
I, and the eight other conservatives in the Senate, voted for nullification anyway but the fight was over. I told The State paper that night that, “I’m really surprised that only nine members took a stand against Obamacare,” but in retrospect I really am not. This is just another chapter in the long story of RINOcrat rule in South Carolina. Obamacare will be permanent in South Carolina until enough conservatives sit in the General Assembly and the Governor’s Office.
- RINOcrat: A mixture of RINOs and Democrats, where Democrats and former Democrats who migrated to the Republican Party, along with Republicans who talk out of both sides of their mouth, telling constituents they are conservative, but all voting together in support of the Democrats.
Thanks for putting up a good fight. I”m proud to say your my State Senator . Can’t believe that some cannot see the failure that Obamacare is. We’ve got to remove some of these Rinocrats! Keep up the good work! Joan C
I am so tired of all the games played by our elected officials. Not germane???? Who are they kidding? Keep up the great work Shane!
Shane,
Keep standing in the gap! It would be good to know who the others are standing with you so we could let them know our appreciation.
Sincerely,
Ray
Thank you for your work in Columbia. Keep the Faith and keep the pressure on.
Thanks shane for introducing bill 3592… its about time.
Shane, are any of these weaklings representing the Upstate? If so, please name. Thanks. Jim
The effort is appreciated, but the results are disappointing. I don’t know how deep our state has to fall into the federal pocket before our representatives and senators realize that they our selling our states’ rights. When there is nothing left to sell, America as defined in the U. S. Constitution is lost, or should I say ‘sold out’. Obamacare plus Obamucation (Common Core) equals an Obamanation. Nothing is stagnant. If we do not push back, we will fall back!
Gotta start by getting rid of Lindsey Graham (so RINOcrats get the message) and then Haley. Leadership comes from the top and GOP leadership in SC still more RINOcrat oriented and beholding.
