Half of the mailing is all about Peter, with a cute photo and the usual stuff, how he is 100 percent in the pocket of big business (I don't know if he admitted the “big” part or not), and how he is going to make sure that every one of us has the choice to send our kids to whichever minimally adequate school we like. So you don't need to see that, because it's same old, same old.
But the part about his opponent, Carol Tempel, is what cracked me up.
First, there was a picture of Carol:
Like the fact that nobody that's pro-jobs has endorsed her. Except of course, the AFL-CIO, EdFirstSC, and the Working Families Party. Oh, and those crazy liberals at the Post & Courier.
And we all know that, except for having diverse public schools that reflect the many diverse needs of the children of South Carolina, Carol is not in favor of giving parents school choice.
We all know that the main goal for Carol, if she is elected, is to spend as much money as possible. Unlike McCoy, who is in favor of giving massive tax breaks to millionaires, and then cutting government services, much like when daddy buys a new Lamborghini and then cuts your allowance to pay for it.
All of the above criticisms are just plain cruel, but the last one is the worst.
Peter McCoy has accused Carol Tempel of supporting Barack Obama! That's just too much. I mean, that puts her in the company of radical lefties like Colin Powell. And Chris Christie. And, as if that isn't bad enough, Peter says Carol is – I kid you not – “a 'community activist' for hard liberal causes.”
Now that is some cold stuff. Mostly because I have absolutely no idea what it means.
So, folks, don't vote for Carol Tempel, unless you want to have someone up in Columbia voting to spend tax dollars on education instead of tax breaks for millionaires, bringing our federal taxes back home to fix roads, hire teachers and firefighters, and protect our environment.
