It's not even close to Halloween but South Carolina's Representative in Congress, Tim Scott, is sending out those scary emails.  After letting us know that he wouldn't be allowed (because of those nasty Democrat regulations) to communicate with us before the election, he proceeds to show us exactly why such a rule, even convoluted as he describes it, exists.

The most important message Scott can send out at this time is to, for God's sake, stop those Democrats from getting away with the tax hikes that are going to send us "over the fiscal cliff" at the end of the year.


Well, Bobbie Rose is not afraid of Tim Scott's scary stories.  She knows that it was the Bush tax cuts that "sent us over the cliff" as far as the deficit is concerned, and that it will take job security to bring economic health back to the small businesses here in South Carolina.  Good and necessary government jobs don't just improve our children's education, but put teachers back on the payroll and off the unemployment rolls.  When teachers are back to work, they are able to spend money in their communities.  When small businesses increase earnings, they grow, and when they grow, they hire.


We can move forward, with Federal programs to increase fuel efficiency, to create businesses that innovate and strengthen our environment, rather than continue to support the old dirty fuel corporate interests that get Tim Scott's votes.  Scott would have us believe that regulation is a dirty word, when in fact, keeping our towns and waterways clean and safe through smart regulation is what is really good for business, and for the people of South Carolina.


So those tax hikes that Tim Scott wants us to run from in horror are actually the fuel that the high earners need to give back to create those good government jobs.  That will begin to create the upward spiral that has been stalled by Tea Party fanatics like Scott.


Bobbie Rose is the woman who will fight to get the government working for us again.  Teachers, police, firefighters, roads and bridges, schools, power grids, public transportation; this is what we need here in South Carolina to get us growing again.


We need to say no to the message of fearmongering that Representative Tim Scott sends us, and we need to let Bobbie Rose truly bring jobs back to South Carolina.

It may well be that Peter McCoy, that cute young lawyer who narrowly beat Anne Peterson Hutto in 2010, thanks to a third party candidate, seems to be a bit worried about the upcoming election.


Why do I say that?  Because he has called his opponent, Carol Tempel, his "extreme left opponent."


I don't think so.  Carol represents moderate, sensible views on education, jobs, taxation, and women's rights.


It seems to me that someone who wants to drain the already depleted state education budget in order to offer a big $280 tax deduction to apply to private school tuition is the real extremist.


McCoy also is in favor of further cutting the budget when it comes to jobs -- that's right, jobs like teachers, policemen, and firefighters.


Meanwhile, he throws his support behind privatizing services like schools.  You know what that means, right?  It means paying a private company more money to do a job less efficiently than good government can do.


Carol believes that good public education has always been within our grasp, but it will take our representatives in Columbia working for the people, and not corporate interests, to create a policy that taxes wisely, and spends just as wisely -- less waste, more spent on the ground, in the schools, on the streets.


If you believe more money should go to prisons than public schools, Peter McCoy is your guy.  If you want to see our schools shine, then throw your support behind Carol Tempel.


As for calling Carol his "extreme left opponent", it's not just fear talking, it's that Same Old Song.
