considering that this drawn out answer to Folks claims is doing nothing but keeping this entire matter in the faces of those who will make the choice to vote for her or not.

The whole mess is ugly, I agree with you on that. But regardless, most peoples only concern in this matter is whether or not the affair happened or not. All the other mess is just side issues. And most of her supporters would forgive, if it is true, had she simply admitted the affair when asked. And if she is innocent, they will destroy Folks.

This is the breakdown of redstate visitors.

Red State Company Profile: Redstate.com is a Falls Church, VA, US-based website owned by Mike Krempasky. The domain name redstate.com was first registered on February 11, 2003. This Google Page Rank 7/10 website has a Traffic Estimate rank of 6,556 with an estimated 1,427,300 monthly visits. According to Alexa, Redstate has a worldwide rank of 12,860, is ranked 2,362 in the United States, and has 3,056 external websites linking to it. Redstate.com targets these keywords and phrases with their SEO: “conservative news, conservative government, conservatives, elections, right politics.”

Now lets assume around 5% of the monthly visitors are from SC. That amounts to 71365 people and lets assume about 30% of those are undecided on the race, 21410. All this crap and game playing keeps them undecided and will push them to one of the others.

This site should be on the front line of getting to the truth but it should not keep the issue in our faces until it has the evidence to prove it one way or the other. Rebuttal is one thing and the petty insignificant crap Folks has been putting on his website deserves contempt and an answer. But this post and letting us know who paid Folks does nothing to close this ugly issue. Being paid and being a shit head will not change anything if she had the affair nor will it boost Nikki’s chances to win if it is a lie. If it comes out it was a blatant lie, redstate should put their power behind Nikki in destroying everything Folk. If it is true, the site would have to decide if her lies denying it is enough to not back her or if the site should work for damage control. But either way, this is not helping anything and there are a ton of voters who visit this site, use the site to help them make decisions, and constantly seeing the game playing and reminders of the whole affair, is not helping.

People know Folks is a scumbag, they know the whole way this thing was handled or exposed, true or not, was low class. But people also grow just as disgusted with game playing and harping on a subject just as quickly. And many people have already worked to put this whole thing in the back of their minds, only to see it being brought back to light time after time after time.

If the site has proof positive, not proof like Folks and the Free Press have used, display it and blow this whole thing into bits and be done with it. If not, let others with no tact, keep harping and rehashing the whole matter.

Basically what I am saying in a nutshell is we want to know the truth. We are tired of Folks and his games, but we are also just as tired of the other games. We are about to vote for the “president” of our state, we are tired of the old style political games from any side, and we want a person who we can trust. We despise how Nikki was treated regardless of whether or not it happened and we could care less what his motivations were. What we do want is an end to this from all sides, an end to the games and posting of unfounded and unproven crap, and we want a huge site like this to get to the bottom of the matter one way or the other and that does not include who was paid or who was not paid. We simply want to be able to cast a vote for a trustworthy conservative and we look to sites like this to aid in our decision. We just want the truth on what if anything happened and all the rest of the crap does not matter to most.

and you will see where I said unproven claims need to be answered. My issue is not with demanding all those making the accusations give us proof, or even going after the record and honesty of the person making the claims. My issue is with the constant rehashing of this matter and the waste of time dwelling on Folks. It is not doing a thing to prove this matter one way or the other, and it is not furthering Nikki’s cause or the states image. We all know Folks is a turd and this matter was pushed out on the public in a classless way. What those who support Nikki need to do is only challenge this whole matter when new claims are made with no proof, and other than that leave it alone. It would be better to spend the time it took to write this and the effort spent to keep this trashy matter in the public eye by writing about the positives of Nikki.

Quite frankly most in the state do not hold Folks in high regard. But announcing things without proof, even if it is fun to do Folks that way, is no different than what he did. And it keeps this whole issue in the view of those undecided. Keep it up and they will reject Nikki just because they have had enough of the whole matter.
