South Carolina which does not seem to have distinguished itself for fair politics or truth in accusations, has recently had a Republican accuse another Republican of accusing her of having an extra-marital affair (which, even if it were true does not belong in a campaign), proving his innocence by taking a polygraph test which he passed. Campaigning is no longer a process by which the voters can get to know the truth about their politicians and seems not to have been such for several decades, meanwhile getting worse with each election. Here is the
rest of the story. It happens that Nikky Haley is half Indian, having Sikh in her heritage before she converted to Christianity.
South Carolina State Senator,
Jake Knotts, called her and Obama 'ragheads', calling for some good Christians and asking what was wrong with his God. As I recall, in the Bush-McCain campaign to be the party nominee, that lovely state spread a rumor that McCain had fathered a child with a black woman. It seems people in South Carolina, at least the voting majority, is stupid enough to believe anything even though the subject may be totally irrelevant to the job sought.
