This is just a small sample. Do they look like usual business practices to you? Did you know that 2007 was not an election year? Did you know that Folks was only paid about 5,000 for his services as a part time consultant? Do you know what office Haley currently holds and who she represents?—(just a hint, it is not a statewide office) Do you live in South Carolina? Do you know anything about South Carolina politics?
Do you often make responses on matters where you know so little?
Actually they do look rather normal for a politician.
I was asked to run for office earlier in my life and I politely refused because of the massive demands place on me and my family. This is just one example.
There are others.
Where was Haley's husband? Where were her children?
These calls are made after 10-11pm. Most likely, after she spent time with her family in the evening and tucked in her children, maybe spent some time with her husband (15 min. - 1 hr., watching post-prime time 10pm TV?) to unwind, she got the time to call her "part-time" consultant (in political campaigns as in business, "consultant" really means "available 24/7").
Now, that's not only very consistent with family values (spending quality time and taking care of her children and family first in the middle of busy schedule) but a 2-3 hour phone call or even a meeting with a business / political consultant is far more plausible than a sex / love call. I mean, how many times "How do I love thee, let me count the ways" can grown people repeat in a span of 3 hours without it being entirely tiresome, while going over details of a business or campaign issues or strategy is not at all unusual. Husband, most likely, was not sound asleep at 10-11 pm when she was making calls, making the "sex calls" theory even more improbable...
3 hour "phone sex" (and apparently, several times followed by long phone calls made shortly after alleged long "phone sex" calls) would be a real stretch to believe in, unless you maintain that she genuinely "loved" him. 3 hour business / campaign call and a follow up shortly after would be consistent with usual practice.
Does "reach out and touch someone" qualify for a "physical relationship"?
South Carolina looking like a political cesspool? Duh!
