Ahhhh, not to mention Alvin's criminal background check, Rigs... He *is* facing a felony pornography charge...

Which adresses the point, one could be facing murder in India, but if nobody knew about it, the murdered could come to the states and take a job in security at a major airport.

By the way - I read in a column yesterday that Alvin Greene had a bachaloriate degree in Political Science. If true, he can't be a stupid as the Democrats keep saying he is.

I've heard him, Rigs... If he has a degree, it's a mail order one...

I think you mean "baccalaureate", yes?

No matter, it's mail order... If it even exists... Maybe this is another Breitbart dirty trick???

You're right, TIA--the above post will probably go away.

Anyway, this is what it says in Wikipedia about Alvin Greene.

"(CNN) – New documents indicate that Senate candidate Alvin Greene, a political novice who shocked observers by winning the South Carolina Democratic primary, has a less than stellar military record.

According to records obtained by the Associated Press, Greene was denied two promotions and made "mistakes as severe as uploading sensitive information improperly, and as basic as an overall inability to clearly express his thoughts and perform basic tasks."

The records cover a short, three year period of Greene's service in the Air Force."

He will, of course, not win..... *I* still want to know where the $10,000 for the filing fee came from.

Being a klutz as a soldier will probably help him with left wing voters.

Nope. His voters were right wing. SC has crossover and a totally safe Repub in the primaries. Do the logic if you can...

It wouild be just another conspiracy theory if SC hadn't allready been caught doing the crossover jitterbug before... This is just the way things are down there... Ask the P-Vine... She lived there...

Like BillD has so aptly put it: Where'd Alvin get the money??? Especially since he had to get a court appointed attorney on the porn charges saying he didn't have money to hire one...

Imagine the depth and reach of the perpetrators if your theory is correct. All of those cross-over voters would have had to have been informed and in agreement. Some people voted for the other Democrat, and most of the Republicans voted for DeMint.

             Personally, I think a lot of black voters, buoyed by the earlier performance of Obama, just wanted to vote for a black candidate. Why is Alvin Greene and worse a candidate than the other Democrat would have been?

Doesn't take a far-flung or even organized conspiracy.
Simply post the $10k filing fee for a whack-job in a state with an essentially unopposed Republican candidate and crossover voting.
Even Republicans would not need to have this explained to them in any detail. Surely you are not implying that SC Republican voters are dense, are you?

Okay, at far as I'm concerned the point isn't worth arguing. I don't see Alvin Greene as a whack-job. He doesn't speak well in public and I don't either. I think it takes a lot of guts for him to even do it.

One thing ya' don't understand, Rigs, is the "Southern Republican Mentality" (SRM)... The4y don't need to get together and plan how to mess with black people, commies and Dems... They instictually do it... It's kinda like school of fish all turnin' at the same time... I mean, how did the fish know to do that... Rednecks is the same, Rigs... I mean, you don't believe me??? Get you a ticjet to Charlotte when they run the Budweiser 600 and sit in the middle of the stands and just wacth 'um!!! I mean, one race an' you'll either join 'um ot know of what I speak... BTW, I do kinda know about these folks seein' as I had me a race car until I was 39 and ran it at Southside Speedway in Richmond... So my observations about Redneck Nation come first hand... Believe me... The crossover vote in SC was huge... Just like that school o' fish... Had there been a real race in the Repub primary then different story but this was, like they say in football" a "free play"...

Okay, I don't see how it makes any difference one way or the other, though. It seems very unlikely that any Democrat would have gotten elected in the general election.

That is the point, Rigs... Knowing that Demint is a shoe in in November what Redneck Nation did was use the Dem primary to further their racist culture by voting for a black man who, frankly, fits their stereotype of black folks... Have Wille Horton been on the Dem ballot these folks would have voted for him...

Well, what I've seen of Alvin Greene doesn't seem all that bad to me. I'll admit he's a disaster as a politician, but I'm kind of burnt out on politicians anyway.
