Nikki Haley South Carolina Tax Relief Tour Ripped By Republican Legislators

Gov. Nikki Haley and her staff used the state plane to jet around South Carolina this week, criss-crossing the state two days in a row to promote her new tax plan.

The S.C. House leadership, members of Haley's own party, pointed out one key problem: She has no plan before the Legislature. The post-trip criticism is a public display of the growing schism between the governor and chief Republican lawmakers.

Can see how she and Gov. Chris Chris-sano would be soul-mates. Lucky for So. Carolina that she doesn't have any kids to fly around for soccer games. Willard, you might want to be more descreet in any of your future endorsements----(redacted ones, too).

Oh, Haley has kids. She posted on her Facebook page that her daughter got first place in a beauty pageant. Nikki was there. She got over 1000 "likes" for that post. The problem is, another parent was present, who posted that Nikki's daughter got first runner up, not first. No first place banner. No first place picture. Now Nikki is blaming some recent college grad who "manages" her site for her, and refuses to apologize. The other sad part, is that thousands of people in SC are all giddy thinking they are posting to a Governor, but instead they are posting to a snot nosed kid. Pitiful.

Maybe the S.C. GOP will get so mad at Haley that they'll pass a bill outlawing contraception for her. Ya never know...........

Funny. Haley is promoting her book at a store called Fiction Addiction, and it has 90 book tags on Amazon, 86 of them not very pleasant. Poor baby, nobody loves her book either.

There is no question in my mind that Gov. Haley has issues . . . mentally that is.

Well, as they say, the mind and body go hand in hand. She lost her mind in Bamberg. She lost her body in Columbia, she just gave it away to any guy who asked. I hear she didn't even wait for them to finish the question. ..... Nikki, can we go to your hotel room, and.....

Have to love that of her picture above. It just screams, "Oh, don't mind me, y'all, I'm an innocent, flirty, sweet southern belle. Where's my fan cause I think I'm getting the vapors?"

Ha! Not exactly her, is it?

Ooops! Must correct the first sentence above, which should read: "Have to love that picture of her above."

I hate it when that happens.

Nikki does like to travel on taxpater money. Maybe she thinks she was made quieen and not gov.I know folksin SC like their Govs to be GOPersbut after the last one and now Haley, they might want to try a Dem next time around.

She likes to travel LARGE though. Limos are not classy enough. She needs aircraft bad.

fiscal responsibility at its best (if today was opposite day!) 

this must be like Haley's vacation (ahem, i mean official trip) to Paris where she was supposed to discuss job creation -- but came back without security a single opportunity for job creation

More trouble between the GOP and the TeaOP. She won't be reelected, but fear not, there will be a high-paying corporate job waiting for her that will take advantage of her PR experience and ability to obfuscate. It will keep her comfortably ensconced in the 1% forever.

Rumors are she is toxic and radioactive. Which are true. How many times have you heard of true rumors? Incredible

What's wrong with her promoting a governmental plan and using the state plane to do so? It's not like she used it to fly her family to the Poconos.

And it's her own party that is criticizing her.

She may appear to be selling her state a bill of goods but thats not really important. She's an attractive republican woman... and we all know how republican men feel about that.

Nimrata Randhawa aka Niki Haley - guess them good ole boy's don't cotton too much too Indians - either - no matter what you do to turn your self White -

Not cool to throw her real name out there like that. Hopefully you're not using it like the right wing uses the president's middle name.

[goodmarina]

04:20 AM on 03/19/2012

the president doesn't pretend it is not his middle name nor has he legally changed it to "Americanize" his name.... whereas Nikki Haley, has.

It's not that she is an Indian, it just that she is stupid.
