NOW, THAT'S EMBARRASSING

GE&P would like to make a bold statement giving a bit of free advice to the newest Charleston member of the Republican party, Mr. Elliott Summey. "If you are supposed to be a Republican, it might be a good first move for you to vote in support of the Republican candidate for Chairman of Charleston County Council." Just saying.

It is common knowledge that it is very difficult at best for Liberals to be elected to anything in Conservative South Carolina. Many Democrats opt to jump the isle and "officially" become Republicans in order to increase their odds of election. Unfortunately, many, if not all, of these "converts" maintain and bring along their Liberal philosophy. This is one reason the Republican party is infested with so many RINOs.

We can hear Mr. Summey's supporters now as they take a page from the Clinton playbook, "It is so unfair to criticize Young Elliott because his unwavering support of all that is Democrat was 'in the past' ". And they will be correct. After all, his actions took place YESTERDAY.

GE&P hopes that any Republicans who choose to come out today in support of Mr. Summey's announcement will consider this action very carefully. It is an undeniable fact that the memories of SC voters have improved measurably over the last few years.
