Some in Tea Party cite ‘buyer’s remorse’ with SC Gov. Haley

Talbert Black, state coordinator of the S.C. Campaign for Liberty, worked hard to get his Lexington County state representative, Nikki Haley, elected governor in 2010, blasting out emails and making phone calls to galvanize Tea Party-minded voters.

“She was going to fight the establishment, shrink the size of government and fight the good ol’ boy,” Black said Friday of Haley. “Instead, she got elected and became part of the system.” Black is part of a faction of the state’s Tea Party movement that says Haley, who they helped elect, has broken faith with them. Many now hope she will be a one-term governor.

Black is not alone. Harry Kibler says he has a case of “buyer’s remorse” when it comes to Haley.
Kibler is founder of five RINO Hunt chapters around the state, a grassroots organization that says it supports the Republican platform. During Haley’s gubernatorial campaign, Kibler supported her, speaking at events on her behalf.

“I admired her commitment to transparency. Standing firm for true, conservative values. Smaller government, reduced taxes, reduced spending,” Kibler said. “But within weeks of being sworn in, literally, she started caving in on her convictions.”

some men they don't think with the brain on top of their shoulders. They think with the little brain between their legs. It was just like quitter Palin.
