    View quote in context »

"The GOP leadership in the General Assembly has been so busy engaged in an intraparty fight with Governor Mark Sanford over power and political ideology that they've forgotten about the thousands of South Carolinians that remain unemployed due to their disastrous policies over the last seven years, ... You would think the Republican legislative leadership would realize their constituents are hurting and deserve more than just being just overlooked." Copyright 2009 WIS. All rights reserved.
