Jim Rex was South Carolina's last Democratic state official. Oscar Lovelace ran for governor as a Republican.
Now the two are trying to bring another voice to politics in South Carolina and maybe eventually, to the rest of the country.
They're touting a new "American Party" as an alternative to the two main parties. They've been pushing the idea around the state and on Wednesday plan to hold an informational meeting at 5:30 p.m. at Rock Hill's York Tech.
Their platform: Term limits, fiscal accountability and a "non-partisan problem-solving agenda." The point, says Rex, a former state superintendent of education, is to "give moderates a choice."
"What we're trying to do is change the game, not advantage or disadvantage one team or another," says Rex.
"If we're ever to going to change the system you've got to have a disruptive force from outside .... I've learned by being a candidate, and also by being an incumbent, the limitations of incumbency and candidacy in the duopoly we have in this country. The system persists and perseveres. Good people come and go."

Sounds good. Wish them luck. NC definitely needs something like that. Heck, a good second party would be nice.

SC already has a third party - the Libertarian Party. Too bad Morrill and the Morning Bugle were too lazy to cover them last time around.

Congrats to billionaire to begger Hog Richardson and his mega millionaire player Piglets who rake in contracts close to 500 million collectively. Foxx started it all to keep the frivolous NFL bums yet hated giving the baseball team a few million. No prob with Jordan and Johnson owners of the Bobcats who continue to use the 500 million taxpayer funded TWA free of charge.

Meanwhile muslim bombers run amuck in Amerika under the first muslim president who spent more in his first term than all 43 presidents before him combined or 224 years.
The exact number of muslims and cells in Amerika is unknown as most live undocumented operating independently while recruiting urban US colleges and universities all encouraged by Mullah Obama who runs Al-Queda from the WH.

Typical gullible ignorant libs. What a crock. Poor innocent brainwashed younger muslim killer? Blame it on the older dead one who cant defend himself now? Maybe the younger muslim brainwashed the older one?
Muslims are all the same scum born to kill non-muslims aka Xians as their Quran commands. The only good use of muslims is erase fags otherwise they are useless parasites.
The Final Great Crusades will rid the muslim stench off the earth perm with Americas 10k nukes as Xians approach the 1072 AD millennium anniversary of the 200 year successful original Crusades in Europe.

Obama and his libs have deliberately destroyed America and weakened it while running up a 18 trillion debt. Obama said he was cutting America down to size and he has been successful.
Even the FBI or CIA cant get anything right anymore. US military now weakly like Jimmy Carters with the fags.

Incredible as it seems Obamamerika coddles illegal immigrants and muslim killers whom they protect who bomb public exercise and fitness events in liberal cities.
How many more millions of Obomba muslims are ready to strike?
We know lib students in Tuscon Aurora and Newtown were muslims or wantabes like 911 and now Boston.

Well cry me a river. 1.5 billion pagan muslims deserve to be exterminated unless they convert to Xianity. Muslims worship ancient Mesopotamian false pagan god named allah after pedophile raghead mohammed high on crack hashish went into a cave and plagiarized the Xian Book changing everything to make himself the final messenger. Bullshit.
Serial killers such as Tucson, Aurora, Newtown copy these muslims killers fully sanctioned by the WH who was born and raised muslim.

So 4.5 million in Boston cowered in their homes as 2 armed killer raghead muslims roamed at will?
No sweat. They are used to it and always cowering along with all others who live in cities where 2nd amendment rights have been stripped by liberal scumbags and at the mercy of armed routine criminals.
At least everyday urban criminals who rob rape murder assault etc were protected against the deadly jihadist duo.

Major documentation world study findings prove homosexuals and/or pedophiles (same thing) commit all high profile major serial killings historically on the planet. This includes lezbo freaks.
New US addition to join the list are muslims or muslim wantabes with 911, Tucson, Newtown, Boston.
Beware of bigoted killer muslims and hetero phobic homo pervs and/or pedophiles and their sympathizers or enablers aka liberal slime.

So the city votes 10-0 to "reward" 88 million to billionaire Big Hog Richardson and his Piglets to upgrade their pig pen sty after Barack Foxx solicits tax funding as much as a billion in order to pay to keep these NFL motley crew pampered spoiled brat lowlife cheats and scam artists as tv cable and everything else goes to the moon?
Chicago Tribune on the money. The 20 billion fake injury class action claiming ignorance is the final nail in the NFL coffin.
Maybe dead or injured US military soldiers should sue too.
Amateur football in high school and college however will thrive.
Walter Camp invented the game in 1869 from rugby and soccer to be played in college only not by overrated pampered grown adult pigs and hogs owners and players extorting billions and trillions off the masses with cable tv.

Sounds very familiar ...
