>> But does Gresham Barrett, who has had a good reputation and would seem to have a promising political career still ahead of him, really want to go down this path?

My question would be: is Mr. Barrett a Christian?

Because this behavior he is allowing, encouraging and/or condoning is decidedly UN-Christian.

During the primary, I heard Barrett's case basically pleaded by local Christian talk show and to be honest, it was due to his Christianity, nothing else that I heard. They "knew" his heart as it were and made sure they mentioned they did not know Haley's heart...if you get my drift. On the other local talk show channel, the local Conservative radio host was basically going with Haley, Tea Party candidate.
So, during the primary, I listened and decided that Barrett being a Christian, or protesting to be one, would not be enough for me anymore. Tarp fund voting had done Barrett in with too many voters here and although I tried to let that slide, the good old boy republican backed Barrett started showing up and now, he is pulling a Bauer!!
