“It’s a Great Day in South Carolina!”
The Newsweek Kiss of Death
No, seriously, that’s how SC Governor Nikki Haley demands all state employees answer their phones. And how she opens pretty much every TV appearance.
Today, it appears to be true.
According to Jonathan Allen of the West Ashley Patch, multiple bills that would enable South Carolinians to recall elected officials are working their way through the legislative process, and liberals and conservatives alike are pushing for them.
Gov. Nikki Haley racked up a long list of political enemies in her first year as South Carolina’s top elected official.
Now a group of purported conservative activists have launched a new effort to recall the governor with the website recallsc.com. The site, which consists of a single page laying out the case for recalling Haley, launched in December to build public support for the effort.
Among her offenses to conservatives, Nikki Haley’s recent endorsement of Mitt Romney and her enthusiastic campaigning for him in advance of the South Carolina GOP primary especially rankles.
Mr. Allen provides a helpful laundry list of why others are less than satisfied with their no-longer shiny and new Tea Party Princess:
Other grievances on the petition include Haley giving salary increases to her staff while campaigning on fiscal responsibility, that Haley is facing a lawsuit over potential ethics violations, the SC DHEC Board’s decision on approving port deepening activities in the Savannah River, Haley using inflated jobs numbers, her removal of Darla Moore from the Board of Trustees at the University of South Carolina and Haley’s adminstration destroying public records.
Haley’s approval rating in a December poll has dropped to 34.6 percent, putting her a full ten points below that of President Obama in South Carolina. Let that sink in for a moment.
More evidence that the Tea Party will be the death of the GOP. I can’t wait until November!
Voters’ remorse ain’t it a bitch? Snyder is running at 19% and I guess he’s so far gone the media has gone from highlighting the “positive” to out right acting like he and the Republican super majorities don’t exist in Lansing. As for Nikki Haley beside the obvious things she has done the biggest sin she has committed to these folks she’s really part of the Republican establishment.

Nikki Hailey is like Sarah Palin got a tan and moved to the Low Country – another know-nothing right wing barbie doll getting by on her looks. Except this time she got caught.
Too bad for Governor Hailey that even in a backwater hillbilly state like “South Caca-lackey”, people want more from their government than cutesy greetings at the DMV and the sitting governor taking trips to France like she’s model in a Jay-Z video. She balled so hard m**f** wanna fine her. And now, they are.
THAT S** CRA’Y!
Did she steal that greeting from Craig Ferguson’s “It’s a great day for America!” line on his show? And does she know he’s a comedian and uses it ironically?
It’s amazing at how fast the Tea Party Republicans who swept into office in 2010 are wearing out their welcome. That’s particularly true of the governors. There’s nothing like seeing their ideology in action up close and personal to make voters realize “WTF was I thinking?”
I’m proud of South Carolina. Do you think they’ll vote for PBO if Romney’s the nominee?
I don’t know. And I don’t know whether racism will override anti-Mormanism or somewhere in between. Hopefully it’s all because Mitt Romney represents the 1% and no bigotry.
It seems buyers remorse is setting in at the perfect time
Walker will either be recalled, or indicted, or both
Kashich is a wounded duck
Obama is more popular in Jersey then Christie
And this one is hated by both libs and conservatives alike
Now, if only Lex Luthor down in Florida can run into more bad luck
So, is Newsweek as much of a curse as Madden game covers is to any football player that graces the game cover?
I’m still hoping she’ll be a 1/4th failed governor! I sure don’t understand why anyone would vote for her. I keep hoping I’ll get her old job at the hospital foundation.
The schadenfreude, it is plentiful.
How funny that CONSERVATIVES want to recall her. At last! An issue that conservatives and liberals can agree upon, lol!
