WHILE I BREATHE

Republicans once believed governing was serious work. It required discipline. It required understanding process. It required sitting through long committee meetings, counting votes carefully, and getting bills across the finish line. It was not about who could make the sharpest soundbite. It was about who could actually pass conservative policy.

The legislature already has the pen. It does not need the gavel too.

Democracy should not depend on party loyalty tests or strategic timing that limits participation. It should reward informed voters, independent thinking, and competitive ideas.

Well, bless it, South Carolina, the rooster crowed and out strutted Lee Bright and Rob Harris again, hollering about “protecting life” while standing on the backs of women and children like it’s a campaign float.
