Does Alvin Greene Think South Carolina Is Still A British Colony ?

I ask only because he published his campaign manifesto in a British newspaper.

Here’s an excerpt:

I’m unemployed, and, if elected, I can teach the Harvard rich kids in the White House and the senate a thing or two. I will vote for any law and propose any measure to keep jobs in my state of South Carolina. I will vote for huge tariffs, and, if necessary, vote to ban imports of foreign goods. Millionaire egghead politicians in the pocket of big business talk about “free trade” – and let all of your jobs get shipped overseas.

No more free trade. Your job is not going to Indonesia.

Nonetheless his campaign manifesto went to London.
