Quoting My Father

And, of course I love you. Indeed, I believe at this time in your and my life I love you more than I ever have. I find you to be a strong, intelligent (on most issues), warm and confident woman and you make me proud when I see how well you have and do manage your affairs through difficulties which would make a weaker person turn and run. And it is exceedingly pleasant to observe H (my son) and K (my daughter) turning out so well as they dip themselves into the adult world. They are both a credit to your tenacity. Watching you over the years has been like seeing a mother lion, fangs and claws bared against any and all who would harm her cubs.

"I don't think my personal situation with my x-wife should come into play"

John Mays, Democratic candidate for SC House District 94, said that his failure to pay child support to his x-wife should not factor into his campaign to represent the peoples of South Carolina.

So, it doesn't matter that a man poised to represent South Carolinians is a person who ignores civil law?

It doesn't matter that he does not financially support his children? It doesn't matter that Mr. Mays has been in jail several times for non-payment?

Come on!

Why would anyone vote for a man (or woman) who excuses not paying child support, a person who has to be brought before a family court judge three times!? a person who actually has to go to jail before he will pay what he owes?

Come on!
