I support Sanford! We will not get out of the hole until we stop digging. Sanford seems to be the only principles politician left. Everyone else has there hand out for someone elses money. If we can't pay for it we can not afford it!

Are you crazy or just dumb, Ownopinion? First of all, that money is already ours and we're already going to pay for it whether we use it or not.

Secondly, Sanford wants to use that money to pay back developers. Do you think those developers are going to pour that money back into our community? NO! They are business people. Do you really believe they will re-circulate that money back into our local economy, thus stimulating it? No! NOT throwing good money after bad is a classic rule of thumb in the business world and, after all, business is business. Our economy is DEAD. There is no profitable future here. Instead, they will take the money and run, leaving us with nothing (except the deficit in public education and public safety/protection that Sanford proposes to enforce in lieu of using the stimulus money for that which it is intended).

So let's take the money that is OURS and use it to give the next generation of South Carolinians a better chance at living a just and redeemable life than that which our governor is currently offering them. Let's give our children hope, not bankruptcy.

Furthermore, to what "principles" of Sanford's are you referring? He HAS had his hand on other people's money... our money, which he used to finance his Argentinian love-saga. Oh, wait... that's right! He paid it BACK! So we should forgive him... No, wait... would he have paid it back if he had not been caught? If he already had the money, why didn't he pay for it himself to begin with, rather than using public coffers.

Principles, indeed!
