"That the government that governs least, governs best"

From Eric Dondero:

The ink's not even dry on the newly-created congressional district maps for South Carolina. Due to the 2010 census, the staunchly conservative state gains one seat in the House of Representatives.

The new 7th District includes the upper coast known as the Pee Dee.

State Representative Thad Viers of Myrtle Beach, a longtime Nikki Haley supporter and diehard Tea Partyer has announced for the seat.

"I would have proudly stood with South Carolina's conservative congressional delegation in opposing an increase in the national debt ceiling. We have to stop Washington's reckless spending spree if we're ever going to get our economy back on track."

Viers is a graduate of The Citadel, and interned in D.C. at the Heritage Foundation. From his campaign website:

Thad firmly believes as Thomas Jefferson did, that “the government that governs least governs best.”
