Candidate and Current S.C. Treasurer - Grady Patterson
Grady Patterson has spent his life serving our State and Country. Grady served his country in World War II and joined the Army Air Corps as a second lieutenant and as a fighter pilot, Grady escorted bombers from the island of Iwo Jima where he saw significant action in the skies over Japan. Grady has been elected 9 times to the South Carolina Treasurer's office and has upheld all the values of being an American. So of course, Thomas Ravenel and Rod Shealy are trying to bring him down. What else is new?
Of course Mr. Patterson, being a strong voice for fiscal responsibility and being the architect of the Constitutional Amendment mandating a balanced budget, surely would be endorsed by conservatives such as Ravenel and Shealy right? Well, obviously I was wrong. These black sheep are out to get him and quickly move on to the next office. In this state, I guess the price for doing a good job throughout the years is always high and always career threatening. Whether you cave into them or stand up for what is right, you're going to pay for it and possibly get crushed.
Everytime I hear Thomas Ravenel speak, whether it's with his hands or his mouth, I know ahead of time to go ahead and pop an aspirin in first. After the first 5 minutes of listening to his economic lecture theories, I know I'm going to need it. While it's perfectly understandable to do the less noble thing and endorse a guy who is not an American hero, I will say this: I would rather elect Grady Patterson, than someone who will be a puppet for Mark Sanford on the Budget & Control Board.

I'm not the biggest T-Rav fan in the world, but I think he'll do a much better job than Patterson as Treasurer and on the B&CB.
I think Patterson has done great things as a person and American, but I don't think he's the best choice for Treasurer. Your post doesn't offer any evidence that he would be, either.
Ouchy ouch, Mike!!! Still think your arguements are WEAK, WEAK! Guess it's just the knee-jerk Crat in ya!
PS Hey the aspirin's a good idea, though. Might pop a few b4 surfing your blog. LOL
I know I know I know, My arguments are so weak and soft, they probably make you want to lay your head down on them and go to sleep everytime you read them, right?! ha
Hey Mike,
"Don't vote Grady Patterson on November 7th, because we need a character who can count." ;)
mike, i couldn't vote for anyone but ravenel. trav robertson wasn't on the ballot, and we all know he's doing more of the work in that office than grady is.
