There are really two parts to this thread.
Many folks may not know that there is a Congressional election happening in SC. Nikki Haley picked Tim Scott (first Republican Congressman from SC) to replace "I forget his name" to the Senate so now there is an election a takin place. The election is between Republican Mark Sanford (yes, the previous Governor of SC who decided to hike the Appalachian Trail) and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert-Busch (The Colbert Shows sister). One of Colbert's foot soldiers came to my door when my wife and I were relaxing and pimped for Colbert-Busch. I stated that he was wasting his time and should move on, but he kept pressing. So, I stated that I am anti-union, small government, pro secure border, beleive that if you make the money you should keep it and not give it to free loaders, and pro second ammendment. When I said the last part, pro-second ammendment, he immediately stated that he was done here and was sorry to have bothered me. About a half hour later a local cop knocked on my door to and asked to talk to me. He asked if I had threatened anyone with a gun today. My answer was "no" and I asked why he was here. He stated that a pollster had called and felt threatened. I explained to the cop that he asked why I wasn't voting in this election, and I stated the reasons I wouldn't vote for Sanford and the reasons I won't vote for Colbert-Busch. The cop said that the foot soldier thought he was threatened, then I explained to the cop how the conversation took place and that the foot soldier asked me why I wouldn't vote for Colbert-Busch and I told him my reasons. The cop asked if I had any weapons in the house, and I told him that I had a few base ball bats, a crow bar, an ax, and mulitple fire arms (the cop laughed when I told him this). He asked if I had any weapons on me when I spoke to the foot soldier, and I told him that I had no immediate access to them. He stated that I had done nothing wrong and actually rolled his eyes a little bit, but it was still aggravating.
Now for the second part of my post. The republicans need to get thier shit together. Alot of my friends have been approached by pro-dem foot soldiers, seen pro-dem individuals handing out flyers, and have seen a shit ton more posters/yard signs/bumper stickers than from the repubs. The repubs need to understand that there are no safe areas anymore like the Charleston congressional district once was. The repubs need to get thier folks out there, because Nany Pelosi (BITCH) and the Unions are getting their folks out there.
