Governor Haley swept into office during the Tea Party wave in 2010. She's the first woman governor of South Carolina and the first minority to be elected governor of the Palmetto State. She is currently the youngest governor in the country and the first Indian American woman to run a state.
She garnered national attention during her campaign and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin endorsed her. As governor, she proposes small government principles and passed a tough immigration law fashioned after Arizona's and signed into law a bill requiring a voter ID at the polling booth, but the law was blocked by Justice Department and now the state is suing. Haley also battled with the state legislature over governance - a case that reached the state Supreme Court.
Haley endorsed Mitt Romney before her state's primary in January but said she is not interested in serving as Romney's running mate. "I made a promise to the people of South Carolina and I'm going to finish what I started," Haley said on CNN earlier this month.
Paul Ryan is a disgrace to politicians and to the American people in general. He has led the charge NOT TO vote for anything that will help us get out of this economical mess because he doesn't want Obama to get credit for it. All the Republicans are on board with that one, no matter how detrimental it is to us. Christy is too fat and too a raunchy to be VP. He has some skeletons in his closet as well as the Indiana Governor.
She is living in another universe. Women's rights and privacy are under constant attack by every republican governor and legislator. Perhaps if she took the time to listen to women, read a newspaper and watch some TV aside from the GOP mouthpiece FOX she would grasp what is really happening.
Wake up Nikki it's your gender under attack. Ordinary middle class and independent women know of this GOP affront to their dignity and they will vote!
All the poor starving Irish that fled oppression by the wealthy English, and now he has become what his ancestors ran away from. Way to go Paul, way to stand up for the least of our brother.
This guy is a mean spirited spoiled piece of garbage.
