Firstly, regarding Alvin Greene himself. I am a physical therapist and have worked with plenty of people who talk and behave like him. Those people were folks who have had TBIs(tramatic brain injuries). I'm not saying he's had one, but it's clear that his mental abilities are highly limited. He make Sarah Palin look educated, and that's "speaks" volumes.
He supposedly went to college and majored in Political Science--this should be easily proved or disproved. Alvin has reported that in the military his specialty was "military Intelligence." Has he offered no proof. Mark Kirk of Illinois and other politicians prove that people with lie about their military record to seem more heroic.
The fact that an indigent man has $10, 400.00 to spend to run for office is highly suspicious on it's own. Then you throw in that he is now asking reporters covering this strange story for money. South Carolina has a history of this happening in the past. Did someone who put him up for this tell him that if he wins people will pay for his story? He is refusing to show proof that the $10,400.00 was his money. He could easily prove himself right with bank documents.
Supposedly he and his friends criss-crossed the state to garner votes, yet he can't name one place he visited.
This article shows that republicans like Joe "You Lie" WIlson, where financing aka planting highly-unqualified African-Americans in democratic races. This makes it more difficult for other democratic candidates who have a chance to compete against the republicans.
Then the republicans cross-over and vote for the "rube" via "Operation Chaos." Rush Limbaugh told his republican listeners during the last presidential to cross-over and vote for Hillary to stop Obama from winning. This happened in states such as Texas.
I find it very offensive that the people who did this would use a mentally-challenged, black man to harm the democratic process. They clearly did this to promote racial stereotypes. I found it absolutely no accident that they found a man who was black who had a obscenity charge against a white woman, and then gave him money to run. They wanted to hit on the old, Southern fear that black men wanted your white women. These people have no shame!!! I smell Karl Rove all over this.
To make things easier, here is a list of my questions:
1) Why won't you show proof that it was your "Army money?"
2) Who are these "friends" that you say helped you canvas for votes and why haven't any of them stepped forward to defend your story?
3)Doesn't the public have a right to know, since you are now running for public office, the reason why you were--in your words--"involuntarily discharged" from the military?
It's clear that the republicans that more and more people no longer believe their lies. They will do ANYTHING to stay in power.
