The battle over economic stimulus money is getting past a war of words between Mark Sanford, Jim Clyburn and Hugh Leatherman. The war has gone to the streets - or more correctly, to the front yards of South Carolina.
I had an e-maied forwarded to me by the Richland County GOP. It was sent by the Executive Director, and he was warning them to be on the lookout for misleading signs in the area. They simply say "Accept the Stimulus, Impeach Sanford", and include the phone number for the SCGOP. Obviously, the SCGOP is not trying to have Gov. Sanford impeached, whoever made it was trying to let the SCGOP hear from the people who want the payoff.
The big question of course is who made them? SCGOP is saying that the signs are from the Democrats. But who? Carol Fowler? Jim Clyburn? Jim Rex? The Ghost of Fritz Hollings? Yeah, I know he's still alive.... You know that around here, we don't go for anonymous attacks on other people. My guess is that with enough investigative work, they can find out exactly who. We'd rather see the guilty party admit it was them, and have them state their case....
As sure as the SCGOP is that it was from the Democratic Party, it wouldn't surprise me if some House and Senate Republicans felt this way. They want to get their hands on the money, and no matter what points Sanford is attempting to make in his numerous requests to not take all of it, they don't care. That money can buy a lot of happiness (and votes) for people in Columbia......

How many illegals would be hired with Jimmy's stimulus dollars that would send the money south of the border? (and I don't mean to Schafer's exit on I-95.)
