The whole thing smells mad fishy. So basically politics as usual. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Barrack Politics means no more gulf drilling. When it happens next time I won't care. You put something toxic near the food supply you asking for it. That's civilization 101.

BP means -we'll do want we want, regardless of what the majority of americans want.

I have several friends who go by boat and we will probably go out in our boat and raft up with them but probably come home before dark. It becomes a made house out on the water and I don't want to have my 3 yr. old out there with all the drunks.

Drunks + 3 yr. old = big problems

Agree with you 100% on that one.

BTW, I'll be at the restaurant until close tonight (10pm).

Got to pay the bills. Do you guys deliver or is it only eat in?

The past Harborfest when I'm out in the boat after dark I have a person watching either side and one person looking back to make sure someone does not run up on us. Its bad enough people don't know how to drive a boat then throw in beer and its even worse.

That's why I stay on land, then I just need to watch out for the drunks on the road.

We deliver, but only in about a 2 mi. or so radius of the VB City Center.

Don't assume they are smart. The state treasure got caught with a half a kilo of cocaine. The governor in Argentina. This is gonna turn out to be some stupid shit that backfires on them. I get what happeded politically. Low interest for Dems high interest from the base of Republicans. Vote Demint and then vote Greene for laughs. He won. Why is he running, with a charge like that?

[Schneed10]

Interesting story but ultimately it's a non-event. There's no way the GOP will lose this seat.

So what if they found thet the Rep. got green to run then made a push to get him elected. Is there anything that could be done or is that illegal in any way?

The big issue that could get him kicked out is that you have to pay the 10,400 registration fee from your own assets. He also had to sign a affidavit when he got his public defender disclosing all assets and income. Im not sure if that was before or after he paid, and I don’t think anyone knows what he disclosed, or if he did have 10k in his bank account if that would disqualify his from public assistance. But it sounds like that’s the only thing that could mess him up.

Obviously you should be able to continue your campaign if you get charged with some felonies, but I don’t know if you can if you get convicted. Also if they prove that the 10k came from someone else I have no idea how that works, and I don’t think most people are sure either. I know from a tax standpoint individuals can give 13k a year to someone without provoking the gift tax; however, the giftor techniqely has to list it on their tax return, but im not sure if they have to list the recipients ss#. So figureing out where the money came from should be a real challange unless he knows and says who gave him the money, or if the person who gave him the money is a complete idiot.

Either way I think a lot of people are wondering if a gift recipient of the 10k qualifies as your own personal money. It sounds more like to me, you or your campaign has to write the check and that it doesn’t matter where the money comes from. I mean think about it, what percentage of politicians actually earned their own money as opposed to having received a inheritance or marrying into it?

The most important thing to me is who’s gonna be the first to start selling tshirts that say: Vote Alvin Greene Senate 2010. I think you could make a decent amount, im pretty sure I would buy one for the extreme liberal in my office.

Problem is if you don't live in SC most people would have no idea who he wass. Just ask people in your office who is their senator, Vice Pres. etc... and see the responses you get. Your better off asking who's on American Idol. Its sad to say but alot of people just don't care.
