    Democrats get to break up GOP sand sculpture in SC

    MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — In South Carolina, it's not just Republicans who have been bashing each other lately. Local Democrats picked up pink shovels and took a whack at a sand sculpture of six GOP hopefuls that had been erected at Myrtle Beach.

    With the South Carolina primary over, a Democratic women's group used pink shovels Monday to begin dismantling the sand sculpture depicting the Republican contenders. The sculpture was a prominent feature of the GOP debate Jan. 16 and took more than 700,000 pounds of sand to make.

    A bulldozer finished the demolition job Monday as the women in yellow hard hats cheered. The sand is to be recycled into future sculptures.

    The women won the right to demolish the sculpture after making a donation to a local crime-fighting cause.

        I'm sure there are quite a few womens groups that would like to dismantle Newt after the accusations his ex-wife made.

        Barack Hussein Obama's so-called "Stimulus" Bill cost the taxpayer $278,000 per job!! And most of these were only temporary jobs!

      They paid money to an excellent cause, had fun, and maybe got some frustration out. Heck, I'm a republican and I would have joined in.

        Thank you for being one of the only commenters from the right who actually comprehended the story, esp. when it comes to paying money for a cause. I bet they would have gotten more of a bidding war if they erected a post-debate statue of Obama so that he could be knocked down as well.

      If the sculptures were of democrats these same ladies would have been protesting the destruction. They would probably have claimed that it was habitat for some type of crab.

    • DeniseJ  •  4 mths ago
      Democrats engaged is something that doesn't harm the economy. I suggest they restrict their efforts to similar efforts.
      • Robert 4 mths ago
        democrats are a bunch of #$%$ corrupt

      How childish. Do they have nothing better to do? Are they just another group of stay at home women that splurge on the greedy takings of their husbands and meddle in our life at every turn? If they are so public minded why not do something for the homeless? Do something real and effective in convincing our youth to avoid pregnancy? Hell, why not walk a couple miles of roadway picking up trash. Anything would be more beneficial to society that their little stunt.

      It figures that Pinkos would be using pink shovels.

      Funny how Code Pink hasn't protested Obama going into Libya or his "surge" of troops into Afghanistan. But then, liberal hypocrites are like that.

      Pink suits dems

      Notice that without the Conservatives the liberals cannot find shovel ready jobs.
