MacKay just keeps wrapping up Democrat points.....

So, it is wrong to want a Republican in "our" primary? I don't get it. November is when Democrats and Republicans need to hash out ideology. Here we have a democrat, who is clearly in the administrators camp, and he is running in a republican primary.

There is no evidence other than he said/she said that MacKay has ever been a republican. It is easy to say you are something until someone actually does a little research. The research proves that MacKay declared himself a democrat by signing the democratic roll in January. the research proves that MacKay gave $2,600.00 to democrats since 2000. I can't find where he has given one penny to a republican candidate, local, state or federal party.

Jim Hodges, was the recipient of $1,000.00 from Mr. MacKay. This was done while he had Republican opposition, who later became Governor Mark Sanford.

Let's face it, MacKay is a democrat who claims to be a republican. The evidence proves otherwise.

Yankeefan, don't know where you got your info but you couldn't be more wrong about Rusty Gentry. First of all he doesn't drive an SUV and doesn't have an Obama bumper sticker on the car that he does drive. He voted in the June 10th Republican primary which according to your definition would make him a Republican, furthermore he has never worked on an out-of-state Democratic campaign.

I spot a hypocrite. So the fact that MacKay voted in the Democratic Primary is evidence for you that he is a Democrat. Yet, the majority of primaries that MacKay voted in have been Republican Primaries. So according to you one vote in the Democratic Primary is enough to show that you are a Democrat but a multitude of votes in the Republican Primary is not enough to show that you are a Republican.

Someone help me out here because the math doesn't seem right to me.

Hey womanwithabrain! Consider the source.

As someone stated earlier, the vast majority of the voters in D1 have already made up their mind. It is silly to keep going on about this. But if it makes you feel better keep it up, but be aware your only helping Mackay. Even though I was unaware because it was before my time here I believe the people that live in that district that party will matter to are probably aware Bob Waldrep switched parties several times. In my opinion, which granted isn't worth much, with his history Waldrep has shot himself in the foot with his hypocritical mailing and everytime you bring it up you remind the voters of the hypocrosy. So have at I think Mackay is the better candidate and I am sure he thanks you for your help.

That has yet been proven, just assumed. Can we get the sign in sheets from all these republican primaries? I would like to see it, I think the voters would too.

Can anyone show where he gave money to a republican candidate, local, state or national party? I could not find one penny. I am just asking.

I am like many of you. I can't vote for him. I voted for Tom Allen in district 4. But these new councilmen need support. Bob Waldrep is the man.

True. Man you may be on to something. All this is probably for very little. The votes up for grabs is Brooks Brown. They may not come back out to vote.

All I can say is this, MacKay better get a piece of mail out explaining his vote in the Democratic primary and his financial support of democratic candidates. He must answer the piece sent out by Waldrep, otherwise, I say he gets beat next Tuesday.

How has it yet to be proven? You have yet to see anything but blindly assume that the Waldrep campaign is telling the truth about his year's primary.

How do you think they got that information?

Pay attention: both Republican and Democratic Parties have the fun little things that have EVERYONE'S voting history for the past decade or so.

What you are hearing is true and it's coming directly from lists of how people in South Carolina have voted. It tells you how they voted in the primaries and whether or not they voted in the general election.

JFCGDSTFU about it already. The man is and American and HE HAS THE GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO BE FREE AND TO ASSOCIATE WITH WHOMEVER HE PLEASES, AND VOTE FOR OR CONTRIBUTE TO WHOMEVER HE CHOOSES. I actually have a sliver of respect for him since he's not going to let a single party control all of his thoughts and actions.

Its nice to see the puppet turning on the puppet master for a change.....

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Willieh, lest you forget may I remind you that those Democrats who did not vote last week may also now come out and vote next Tuesday? I have a feeling that after all of the Dem bashing you guys have been doling out the last few days they will be out in full force just to wipe the floor with Waldrep.

I don't think he needs, he has already addressed it in the paper. It is a non-issue why give it any more credence by sending out a mailer?

No if he's smart he won't send anything out. Responding with mailing only gets you wrapped up in a catfight and that's not something any candidate wants, particularly one in the lead. You let your opponents run around looking stupid and desperate while you keep your composure. It's clearly a desperate attempt. They had that information all along and are reaching for whatever they can find. And they still have a week to go...I can't wait for the rest of the ridiculous attempts they come up with.

willieh is right.

You can't answer a mailer with a quote in the newspaper.

You have to put a response in people's hands.

WE'RE GIVING THE DEMOPCRAPS AND REPUBLPUKES EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. PARTY BICKERING THAT CAUSES A DISTRACTION FROM THE REAL ISSUES AT HAND. AS LONG AS WE JUST SIT HERE AND CONTINUE TO HAVE A PISSING CONTEST, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO SCREW ALL OF US FROM BEHIND SINCE WE'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION. WHY DON'T WE TAKE THIS ENERGY AND DIRECT IT AT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND DEMAND THAT THEY ADDRESS AND FIX THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!

NOW WAKE UP SHEEP!!!!!!

You can when it's an issue the majority of the people in his district probably don't care about.
If I remember correctly Mr Waldrep won by a sound majority 2 years ago. People voted for him because of his history as a statesman and felt he would be an asset to a council that has been strife with petty arguing and personal issues. Instead he jumped into the fray. While I don't live in the district I know quite a few people who to and to a person they say "what happened to him" and "we expected better of him than this". Mackay is running on a campagin of trying to end the strife and getting some work done. That is what the people of that district want and what they thought they were getting in Waldrep.

ssshhhh! Quit yelling.

Ok boys and girls! yankeefan, you sure know how to stir up a bunch of bees and all for no honey at all. You and I have had this self same conversation recently. It was pointless to NOT vote in the Democratic Primary. I do not consider myself a Republican nor a Democrat - I vote for the person. I feel certain that Mr. MacKay, along with thousands of others, voted to make a statement in the Democratic Primary. I KNOW I did! It made me feel AWESOME to vote against Clinton!

So, if your mind can be changed because another person made a wise decision, you didn't have a very good handle on your idea of a vote.

Please, all who can go out Tuesday and vote for Raymond MacKay!
