Humor and being a RINO

Tonight's post was going to be about high school football. Friday night was the kickoff to the high school football season. Unfortunately, bad weather postponed the Ware Shoals and Saluda game VUI was set to cover. VUI will cover it Saturday night.

That said, there have been some rather interesting emails sent, and a few comments posted, about the humor on this blog. Well, get over it. I personally like to laugh and find humor. The members of the VUI staff like to laugh as well and they point out things to make fun of. If you are an elected official, a staffer, a political handler or a self important ass, well, maybe you should read VUI with your medication or a stiff drink nearby. We are going to have fun, period.

Then there is the RINO stuff. I have never really got why that label is attached to me and VUI. Since I was 17 years old, I have worked for Republican campaigns. For over twenty years, I have towed the Republican line. In fact, it even started earlier than that. My mother reminded me that in 1980, I made a poster for a school project for Ronald Reagan for President. I have never looked back.

Indeed, until the day I die, I will be pro-life, pro-gun, for limited government and for lower taxes on the people of South Carolina and the United States. I learned how to be a Republican from the likes of Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Strom Thurmond and Carroll Campbell. I will never support government, at any level, paying for political investigations of political opponents or for private school educations. I will always stand up for limited government, a strong national defense, and freedom. I will always put South Carolina first and question anyone who is funded by someone outside the state and rides in to do a political hack job.



If that and the sense of humor I and the staff of Voting under the Influence have makes me a RINO, well, I can live with that. I was working for Republicans while most of the people calling me a RINO could not find South Carolina with a chauffeur and a road map. As long as I can, I will make sure VUI stands up for South Carolina, core Republican values and has a little fun along the way. If that makes me a RINO, well, I will wear that badge with honor. At least I did not have to fly to Argentina to get it.

  1. You are a sorry assed RINO. Campbell and Thurmond both were liberals, just like you.

    Nikki Haley is a real Republican.

  2. Well Willie, you were probably in kindergarten when Brian and I were busting ass turning formerly Democratic areas into the GOP seats you take for granted.

    All I can say to a sorry little ingrate like you is go f*** yourself. We paid our dues, shut up and go pay yours.
