South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will name Rep. Tim Scott(R-SC) to replace the retiring U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC).



That will make Scott the first African American from the South to serve in the U.S. Senate since Reconstruction -- and the only African-American senator to serve in the upcoming 113th Congress.



Scott's personal story is a remarkable one: While working at Chick-Fil-A, he met a movie theater manager who took him under his wing and taught him the values of conservatism and hard work. Long a poor student, Scott turned his life around and ended up getting elected to the South Carolina State House and then Congress."


Love it! :


Just another right-wing taxpayer.

Unlike you, deadbeat. Paid all your debts and taxes yet, asshole?

He never will.
