Bullying a woman is not good form. |
The news about violence toward women is
abundant these days. So is it smart for left-leaning petition gubernatorial candidate Tom Ervin to
endorse the bullying of Gov. Nikki Haley?
Haley is South Carolina's first female
governor.
In his latest commercial, Ervin attacks
Haley for not expanding a costly and poorly managed, medical welfare
program.
About 30 seconds into the Ervin advertisement, an obnoxious
and overly aggressively media plant forces a microphone in a cornered
Haley's face and demands an answer. It's not even clear what the
reporter is asking about.
Haley just gets away, which is smart
for any women facing an attack from an
unreasonable aggressor. Ervin's commercial just bashes Haley even
more for separating herself from her rude tormentor.
And if it's Medicaid expansion, that
the commercial is about, we already know her answer. If Ervin is
opposite Haley on Medicaid expansion, that by itself should
disqualify him. President Barack Obama's Medicaid expansion scheme is
a bait and switch ploy to expand socialized medicine. It expands free
healthcare for those who refuse to pay for it. Medicaid results in
people with colds, who neglect doctors visits during the day, ending
up at the emergency room.
Medicaid patients are most costly,
because they are not paying for healthcare. They don't care what the price is. Taxpayers are paying for
it. So Medicaid patients do not have to plan and scrape, like
contributors do. To expand Medicaid, based on a government promise
now, will just cost SC taxpayers billions in the future, long after
the federal government is even more broke than it is now.
More likely, Ervin's bully-pro-Medicaid
commercial may be showing he is desperate.
Ervin has lots of money. He is a
wealthy trial lawyer. Is he a disguised, left-leaning candidate
doing the bidding of Democrat Vincent Sheheen? It seems like it.
And with polls show Haley beating
Sheheen and Ervin, Ervin could be getting desperate enough to
encourage aggressive behavior toward a woman, even if is an issue
people are more acutely aware of right now.
