Bauer, running on Dog Lovers Party* ticket, promises aggressive federal spaying/neutering program

         Bob Barker to serve as honorary co-chair?    

Former SCLt. Governor Andre Bauer  has seen the future and it doesn't include complete sentences. In other words, he wants to be a congressman:

          "I feel like I have a background very unique for most people who have ever run for Congress because I've served in the Executive Branch. I have a background for doing things like Economic Development , so for me it's not just going to be a part of the legislative branch , you go up to Washington and vote. I want to be more than that. I want to be a diplomat for job creation," states Bauer.
          Bauer is traveling around in his grandfather's 1967 van during his announcement tour. He say's it's a rolling petition for better government.

     Bauer's tenure in the state's second office was marked by high-speed crashes, a strange, inside-SCGOP hit job that left him- and others- denying he's gay, and this:
     "Why shouldn't you have to do something?" Bauer asked of people receiving food stamps, free school lunches and public housing. "In government, we are too often giving a handout instead of a hand up."
     Friday, Bauer said giving food to needy people means encouraging dependence. It also gives the recipients a license to have children who will also be dependent on public aid, he said.
     "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals," Bauer told a Greenville-area crowd. "You know why? Because they breed.
     "You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."
