UNI88 wrote:I agree with Jon on this one. When you run for elected office, you're making a commitment to your constituents that you will serve them throughout your term. It's similar to joining the military, you've been elected for a 2,4 or 6 year term. Unless there are extenuating circumstances you should honor your commitment and a job with a think tank doesn't qualify.

On the flip-side, the people of SC might be better off so it could be a good think in this individual situation.
Most of are happy. Nikki might put Tim Scott in his place.

You just described Obama...and most every politician. They're all lobbyists...and they aren't lobbying for the people who voted for them.

Why is Obama "concerned" about freedom from tyranny for Syrians when he doesn't give a shvt about the freedoms of the people of Bahrain? Why are we still in Afghanistan? Why are we giving a boatload of money to Egypt? Why did Obama change his mind about gay marriage?

Obama is a lying sack of shvt...and you love him and support him....while looking down at lobbyists. :rofl:

TIm Scott is to be appointed the new Senator.

Interestingly enough he will be the ONLY black senator.

Yes, but he will quickly be labled as an "Tea Party Uncle Tom" by the liberal media and those same "diversity supporting" libs will make up an excuse to blame the Conks as to why they don't have a black senator. :nod:

They had a black senator but he is a felon.


Or soon to be an official felon.

The mayor of Wilmington, DE, just had the city remove the felon box from applications. A felony should not be held against you. :rofl:

Libs. :dunce:

How so? I didn't even know Scott was black until this thread. Tea Party Morons come in all shades.

What would be racist would be to give him a free pass based on his color.

Sen.-designate Scott, 47, will become the only African-American currently serving in the Senate and the first black Republican to serve in the upper chamber since the 1970s. He will also be the first black senator from the South since Reconstruction

I don't know Tim Scott from Adam but it would seem that SC is a very conservative state and that it is appropriate that this seat be filled by a very conservative person.

Tea Party morans ;) do come in all shades but the same could be said about OWS morans ;) .
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88

Trading Demint for Scott is a win-win for everybody. I know Tim and he is a very respectable guy, and I would say that about him if he was a Democrat, too.

It's quite telling that a white majority elected and reelected Tim and that he is now the only black senator.

He's not a bad guy...for a politician.

Jimmy D got tired of trying to exist on his chump change pay. :coffee:

Cant be easy to sit there and watch your buddies all getting their snouts in the trough while you are just a grubby little Senator.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

You sound like the editorial page of the NY Times and the typical booger eating knuckle dragger on Donk Underground, kalm. :roll:

I find it funny though that the "party of diversity" doesn't have one single black person as a member of the Senate. :suspicious:
