Victory is sweet!
But this isn't the only person who needs removing. We've got a long way to go to get rid of the good ol' boys and their built-in mechanisms of corruption.
We need to end straight party ticket voting options. Voters need to work at least a little harder than that.
We need to run candidates against EVERY incumbent. No more free rides.
We need to end the hold the general assembly has over the judiciary that, BTW, enabled Knotts to get his bizarre rulings that threw 250 candidates off the primary ballots. We need to directly elect SC Supreme Court judges, have the rest appointed by the governor and approved by the legislature, and then have every one of them subject to an up or down vote every four years. That way the voters can kick them out if they misbehave. If they get kicked out, they're no longer eligible for that seat.
We need to get rid of the Budget & Control Board or anything similar (as they've attempted to put in place while still claiming reform) that allows the legislators to avoid voting on big spending while engaging in massive spending and corruption through their influence on that board.
We need term limits.
We need to end ALL retirements for ALL elected offices. We need to end them even for those people currently drawing those retirements. Screw them! It's a part-time job and they don't deserve squat for retirement. Let them go on welfare.
We need voters to pay more attention at all times and be ready, willing, able, and even automatically inclined to dump these crooks from office.
