Delegation Appointments
This morning the Anderson County Legislative Delegation met to fill several appointments. Among them were Mrs. Rosemary Lindley (Tri-County Technical College Commission) and Mr. Rick Adkins (SC Board of Education). Rosemary and Rick are perfect “snapshots” of my Senate District of which I am proud to support.
Mrs. Lindley is a graduate of Oklahoma State University and earned a teaching certification from Clemson University. Following a career in retail, she worked as an English and social studies teacher at McCants Middle School and served as head of the school’s English department. Currently she is owner of Queen Bees, a gift business located in Anderson. She is an adult Sunday School teacher at Central Presbyterian Church. Charles and Rosemary have two children, one of which I went to school with (James). They are very active in various civic organizations and Republican politics. Rosemary is very direct with her conservative opinions!
Mr. Adkins, a T.L. Hanna graduate and Clemson University graduate, is also committed to faith and family; he and Teresa have 3 children attending Concord Elementary School (the same school I attended). Rick is a successful, self-made, business man. The Adkins are active at Concord Baptist Church. He is a Republican activist, holding true to the conservative values that made the GOP great: less government, fiscal responsibility, family values, and school choice. Rick and I have been friends since childhood and I am honored to support him in this position on the State School Board. He will make us proud.

Mr. Bryant:
You should be ashamed. You had several qualified candidates to choose from for the State School Board. You chose a grade school buddy, a political hack, and fellow voucher supporter.
And this after you pushed for and got the honorary chairman of the Powdersville KKK, Ron Wilson, for this seat two years ago.
You claim to be the anti-politician. Sounds to me like you’ve become the ultimate politician.
Congratulations.

Don’t waste your time trying to reason with this guy. He’s a holy roller hypocrite, the absolute worst flavor. In bed with Howard Rich and his local crew.
The key will be to get him out. It’s in the works.

Kevin,
Thank you for helping get Rick appointed.
I have had the honor to work with him in another appointed status.
You and I both know that he will do a good job and will work hard. He is a person of character and will make decisions with studied effort. He is a good man.
Good job on the part of the delegation.

Congratulations to Rick and Rosemary. Both are very capable people and will do an excellent job in their positions.
Good Choices. Don’t listen to those fools above. Most of us in Powdersville vote Republican. You will be safe with us.

Stan,
The plan to defeat the senator is underway. Keep the aluminum foil helmet firmly on your head in order to be able to receive upcoming messages from his opponent.

the black helicopters are hovering Stan. Bryant is considering a run for Governor in ‘10. Maybe you should run for his seat.

It’s clear that progressive Republicans are quickly gaining the majority in Anderson County. The Kevin Bryants, Cindy Wilsons, and Ron Wilsons operated below the radar not that many years ago.
Now, they are being exposed to daylight as they pull their regressive crap. The furor over the Blue Laws is a good example.
Take heart, progressives. Our day is coming, and it’s not that far away.

“progressives” is just another word for “democrat”. Let’s be clear, you lost. You won’t take over the Republican Party. Rick Adkins is one of the strongest chairmen that we have had, and he won’t allow it.
Go back to your phone booth and have your democrat/progressive meetings. Don’t bother us with your progressive republican crap.

to anon above. How is a blog from the senate floor for the whole wide world to see “below the radar”?
Kevin, you really have to deal with a log of nut cases.

Sen. Bryant has made very wise choices. Why would he choose someone to continue the failing school system. Thank goodness he doesn’t listen to Democrats’ way of thinking. When you know someone for years, you know more about their character, therefore it is a good to choose friends.
