South Carolina Suffers While Demint, Graham and Sanford Posture

[Are_grits_groceries]

Mark Sanford is blaming everything from drugs to other people's incompetence for the lack of jobs in South Carolina, all while lobbying against President Obama's economic stimulus package. He's joined in his efforts to lengthen and deepen the recession by our U.S. Senators, Lindsey Graham and Jim Demint.

Think Progress reminds these two Senate stalwarts what's happening in our state:

South Carolina Sens. Lindsey Graham (R) and Jim DeMint (R) have been two of the most ardent opponents of President Obama’s economic recovery plan. “They’re trying to jam through the Congress a bill that will have long-lasting consequences that will not stimulate the economy but grow the government,” said Graham on Fox News last week. “This bill is not a stimulus, ladies and gentlemen; it is a mugging. It is a fraud,” said DeMint last month. The CBO estimates that the Senate’s stimulus plan could create 3.9 million jobs by 2010. Instead of opposing it, the South Carolina senators should take note of the “recession reality” in their state. Watch it:

Yes, too often people in the state vote against their best interests. However, Graham faced a joke as a Democratic candidate in the last election. The SC Dem party needs the hell shaken out of it.

I will also say that while people here put up with things too long, once they get fed up watch out.
