I hope the fine people of SC look to the example of Minnesota when it comes to having an ex pro-wrestler as Gov and then vote for anyone else...

Perhaps Ric wants to take a bite out of big government.

To be the man, you got to beat the man!

Or in this case, Mike Sleazley.

They cannot be serious.

I wish this sleaze would run as a Dem, I know it would be a better fit.

Why exactly do you think he is a sleaze? Do you even know who Rick flair is?

It always amuses me when the whackos come out decrying how a professional wrestler could ever be in politics... Whats the difference between being a pro wrestler or being an actor a la Ronald Reagon, nobody decries the Gipper for being an actor? And Ronald Reagan was one of the best presidents IMHO. I don't get it, please explain - whats the difference here?

By the way do you people have any idea what the backgounds of all of the rest of the governors, senators, representatives and other politicians are? If ex-basketball players, actors, farmers and sleaze ball lawyers are good enough to represent you then whats wrong with former wrestlers? No, really, you'll have to explain this to me. I just don't get it...

I didn't know you were a rasslin' fan.

Ric Flair was real big when I was a kid. He has a pretty interesting biography [Wisconsin state wrestling champion in high school, NCAA football at U of Minn, survived a plane crash that killed his pilot, broke his back in three places]:
