1. If it is a rematch, Joe Wilson is going to get his ass beat to hell and back.

Because Miller basically raised 500,000 in a day because of Joe Wilson's slip-up.

The people of America get fucked over a lot and in extreme ways, but every once in a while, when the ire of the public is stoked, the power they display can crush all.

I do not believe the health reform bill Congress passes will be enough to contain costs. It will merely forestall a system-wide collapse for a few more decades, but with that said, one day, the power people have will be invoked again...on a vast scale. It will uproot the whole rot and corruption in the system now. It will be a beautiful and terrifying spectacle to see, and it will be a necessary thing.

4. Wilson is going to get beaten like a rented mule.

Still feeling cocky, Joe?

[Stephanie]

He sounds like a terrific candidate.

6. I may not like what it took to bring some attention to Miller's campaign

But be damned if I'm going to look a gift horse in the mouth!

This is great news!

8. I live in his district and it will be tough to beat Wilson

...he's being called a hero by most here.

10. Bad manners gets applause in South Carolina?

Welcome to DU. May your brief stay be a happy one.

[laststopSC]

13. why brief?

I'm on your side...just wanted to make that clear.

16. You have been to Beaufort and Hilton Head?

Thank heavens Columbia is in the district. Them other places be a bit off the charts scary. LOTS of Libertarians.

[Stephanie]

11. Do you live under a bridge?

I can't imagine where else you'd meet such people.

[laststopSC]

12. just read his facebook page

It's all people calling him a hero, etc. Granted only his "friends" can post on his wall so it's very one-sided.

[L. Coyote]

14. You talkd to "Most" already. I'm impressed.

Most told me he hates the guy. Are we talking about the same Most?

[laststopSC]

15. at least those who made their voices heard is what I meant

Luckily his district includes the capitol of Columbia to help balance the heavily republican lexington county adjacent to it.

[merh]

17. There is a mixed board I post on and some of the members are

from SC and they say the same thing, it won't be easy to beat Wilson, he is being applauded as a brave man.

BTW, welcome to DU. Thanks for posting your perspective, a perspective that is shared by others.
