thank you it would surely be nice if more people were willing to discuss gov. nikki.
I fear this has broken down into such a personal slugfest that the governor has been forgotten.

'tis unfortunate that people refuse to get along. I just don't get how so many people can support pols who are working against their interests? is the horatio alger meme ["get rich or die trying"] that strong?

Yes, if I may butt in a bit, would you mind, dear folks, to direct your attentions to the subject of this thread?

What part of people being satisfied with their governor don't you understand?
What part of J-O-B-S don't you understand?
You don't live in S. Carolina so why the obsession?

Having worked in politics for 30+ years, I can say that it is just that time of the year when sycophants of all political parties smoke too much of their own dope and start taking aim at anything moving. It usually takes until Thanksgiving for political PMS to end. It also peaks around the time of the State of the Union speeches, legislative sessions and summertime conventions.

And yet almost half the citizens there approve of the President's job, and hold congress in low regard. Plus tea baggers are much less popular there, now. Doesn't that just irk your conservative sensibilities?

It's still a red state and will probably continue to be for the next several elections. If it doesnt i'll still sleep good.
No s**t.
The Tea Party got hijacked by the wrong people early on so therefor it's losing and has been losing it's grassroots members.
If I were half as blindly partisan as you are it probably would irk me but that's not the case.
Besides, I don't live in S. Carolina and never have.
Are you by chance trying to take over for ArantPariah?

As far as I'm concerned, the governor simply represents the will of the people, so if the citizens want that flag to fly, that's the position she should take; I take her comments on it not costing them business as just that, pointing out that the policy isn't costing the state any money, as some opponents of flying like to claim.

I have to imagine that most black South Carolinians don't like the Confederate flag, and I would think it a mistake to assume that all white southerners would either (considering that many of their ancestors had fought against the Confederacy, and/or espouse different political stances today). So I have to question just how many people in that state her will is representing in regard to that flag.

So, your view is that the governor, an Indian American, is flying the Confederate flag against the will of her constituents why?
Here are some very old number about the issue nationally, http://www.gallup.com/poll/2926/america ... -flag.aspx, which show that national support for flying that flag at 46% against and 44% for, but I imagine the numbers are much different in the south.

Yes.
Also, people will be allowed to rebut posts point by point, as there is nothing wrong with it and it is an effective debating technique.
Khaoz, if you don't like what the conservatives are saying, try arguing against what they're saying instead of attacking their posting style.

The only way Nikki Haley would be a Democrat supporting the Confederate flag would be if she was back in Jim Crow days. And considering the color of her skin, it would be highly unlikely that she could be voted into any South Carolina office back then, let alone vote

I didn't say all her constituents were against the Confederate flag by any means, but the opposition to it almost certainly is more than a small minority.

in light of that history, I don't get how she can be so undisturbed about the whole thing. it is like whistling past the graveyard of past [and present] injustices. and that horrible photo of the black fella with the confederate flag, just how is that materially different in philosophy and attitude, from an Israeli holding a Nazi flag? the lack of comprehension and the lack of widespread revulsion is EERIE to me and makes me think I'm in a twilight zone episode or a nightmare.
