I was in the process of adding links of potential 2010 candidates on my links page. I was entering the 3rd district congressional candidates. Not knowing the actual addresses, I’d try a few, then use google to find them. As I entered “www.shanemassey.com” to see if that was the address to Shane’s page I discovered something interesting.

When you enter http://www.shanemassey.com in your browser you are forwarded to another Republican candidate for congress, Rex Rice. When you do a “who is” for shanemassey.com you find this:

Current Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
IP Address: 64.202.189.170 (ARIN & RIPE IP search)
IP Location: US(UNITED STATES)-ARIZONA-SCOTTSDALE
Record Type: Domain Name
Server Type: Indeterminate
Lock Status: clientDeleteProhibited
DMOZ no listings
Y! Directory: see listings
Secure: No
Ecommerce: No
Traffic Ranking: Not available
Data as of: 22-Apr-2008

Shane doesn’t know who the prankster is (Rex told him he doesn’t either). I guess the owner has blocked the identity.

Update, just got a message from Rex Rice. He’d like for someone to help find a way to reverse this forward…anyone know?

Anyhow, if you’re interested, here are the correct links to the Republican Candidates for SC-3:

  • Richard Cash
  • Neal Collins
  • Jeff Duncan
  • James Galyean
  • Shane Massey
  • Rex Rice
  • Mike Vasovski

This race is loaded with good conservatives, so It’s going to be a great one to watch.

3852700157_0e0040a558_m

S. 815 A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO JOIN THE SOUTH CAROLINA FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE IN RECOGNIZING THE WEEK OF MAY 11-15, 2009, AS “NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WEEK”.

Whereas, Monday, May 11, 2009, marks the beginning of “National Law Enforcement Memorial Week” and Wednesday, May 15, is “National Law Enforcement Memorial Day”; and

Whereas, each year officers from around the nation participate in a memorial ride in Washington, D.C., that also marks the beginning of “National Police Week”; and

Whereas, in 1962 Congress established “National Police Week” and each year names are added to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial wall in Washington, D.C.; and

Whereas, this is a special time to remember fallen officers and to honor those who valiantly served and gave their lives in the line of duty; and

Whereas, it is fitting for the members of the General Assembly to pause and remember the sacrifices law enforcement officers make every day in this State and across the nation. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly recognizing the week of May 11-15, 2009, as “National Law Enforcement Week”.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina Fraternal Order of Police.

J-Mint Promotes Interstate Health Insurance Competition

August 27, 2009 by Kevin Bryant

Many claim J-Mint doesn’t offer any alternatives to Obamacare. Factually, he’s been offering free market solutions to healthcare ever since he was in the US House.

The blog of the South Carolina Policy Council
DeMint Promotes Interstate Health Insurance Competition
http://palmettoinsider.wordpress.com/2009/08/19/demint-promotes-interstate-health-insurance-competition/

Sen. Jim DeMint, seen here at a press conference earlier this year, spoke to about 400 individials Monday at the Daniel Island Neighborhood Association meeting in Charleston.

Sen. Jim DeMint spoke Monday morning at the Daniel Island Neighborhood Association meeting in Charleston. The event – which drew about 400 attendees – was billed as a discussion on the economy and other political issues but it quickly became evident that health care would be the only topic discussed.

The crowd was almost entirely in support of Sen. DeMint – which was expected given the venue.

Sen. DeMint began his talk by outlining S 1324 <http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:s1324is.txt.pdf> , the Health Care Freedom Act <http://demint.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?Fuseaction=SponsoredBills.HealthCareFreedomAct> , which he proposed in the Senate. The bill would implement the following reforms:

  • Allow individuals to buy insurance plans across state lines;
  • Provide a $5,000 tax rebate to families and $2,500 to individuals which can be used toward buying health insurance. The goal is to provide a fairer tax code, offering the same tax incentives to individuals as those who buy insurance through an employer;
  • Enact tort reform (This idea, in fact, received the loudest ovation);
  • Gives states $25 billion block grants to pool high-risk individuals; and
  • Promote the use of Health Savings Accounts.

The proposal to remove barriers that prohibit buying insurance across state lines is one of the simplest, yet least understood concepts behind DeMint’s reform package.

Democrats have dismissed the notion that this can be effective. That’s because, as Sen. DeMint pointed out, few Congressmen, much less the president, believe in the free-market concept of the invisible hand <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_hand> .

But if citizens were allowed to buy insurance from any state, they could create insurance plans that best fit their personal needs. This would drive prices down, as insurance companies would be forced to compete against one another.

Today, however, large insurers – virtually all of which support ObamaCare – hold a monopoly in most states.

For example, according to the healthreform.gov website <http://www.healthreform.gov/reports/statehealthreform/southcarolina.html> , “Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina alone constitutes 66 percent of the health insurance market share in South Carolina, with the top two insurance providers accounting for 75 percent.”

The easiest way to provide more options to citizens is to allow them to buy insurance plans from other states. South Carolinians would then be able to choose options that provide lower premiums and coverage better tailored to suit their individual preferences.
