SOUTH CAROLINA: Gov. Nikki Haley’s controversial recent votes, including one to veto state funds for election operations (which was overruled) haven’t endeared her to other state legislators, Politico writes. “If Haley’s got her eyes on going straight for the 2016 presidential race, that’s five years for the state legislators to box her in on legislation, budget measures and other issues that will build out precisely the kind of record she’d want to avoid.”
“Supporters of South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint are quietly organizing a Republican presidential forum slated for sometime around Labor Day,” CNN reports. “The event would be more of a question-and-answer session rather than a debate. Candidates will be asked to offer concrete plans for fixing the debt and growing the economy, according to one person involved in the planning.”

Has Haley shown us her long form birth certificate?
Not sure she'll ever run for president. She has baggage. However she does appear very intelligent compared to her male Republican counterparts all around he country.
Gees... how can you use the term intelligent and Republican in the same sentence?.... They are completely opposed to each other... Now if you used the term Republican and money grubbing business or tyrant... that I could understand....
Kevin Bitz,
I'm independent! I do believe there are some true conservative Republicans in our country. They may be very Christian and hate abortions but will never try to legislate your body for you because, to them, that is government interference. They will never force another citizen to deny marriage to other citizens, because again, that is too much government interference. They live within their means and mind their own businesses and they almost always vote. The Republicans in congress right now are simply redirecting all our taxes to their corporate buddies. They are not living within their means. Republicans are a walking contradiction on social issues also.
haley !!! a bitch by any other name is still a bitch !!!

If you don't like Haley's policies, you should argue on that. Calling a woman a "b----!" is not constructive and smacks of sexism.
There is no place for talk like that here at FR Smith1.
For once I wish I knew how to collapse a post. Totally uncalled for. On top of that it is highlighted on the main FR page? Who picks the comments that show up there anyway?
Not me.
a bitch by any other name is still a bitch !!! EVEN IF HER NAME IS NIKKI !!!
dear amy
you certainly have a point !!! but I'm using the term "bitch" to mean a female dog !!! which in this case is appropriate !!!
I'm no fan of this lady by a long shot, but the b**** comment seems out of line and certainly unworthy of a call-out on the main page.
