With a “brutal” 18-month campaign that sometimes pitted Republican against Republican behind her, Gov.-elect Nikki Haley said she wants to be judged by her actions when it comes to her relationship with lawmakers.
Haley, fresh off her Election Day win, landed back in her hometown at a barbecue joint Wednesday to thank her supporters after a quick stop by the House Republican Caucus meeting earlier in the day. She said her former House colleagues welcomed her with standing applause.
Haley said former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin helped spread Haley’s message, but she’s not ready to endorse Palin for president.
Check out the video at the end. A very pleasant exchange between a female minority TEA partier and liberal press reporter. Kind of dispenses with the TEA party as a bunch of radical wingnut white men. The reporter does try to drive a wedge between Haley and Palin by asking Haley to engage in speculation. Haley handles it pretty well.
To make my point, here is a [url=http://newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-shepherd/2010/11/03/dylan-ratigan-disparages-tea-party-pyromaniacal-crazies-bent-destructi ]video of Dylan Ratigan[/url] who tries to portray the TEA partiers as people who “want to burn the town down” and “destroy the government.”
The disconnect between MSNBC types and reality is a canyon.
Here’s hoping she doesn’t take too many trips on the Appalachian Trail.
