I have already done a video about this outrage of him speaking. I plan on booing. The young republicans are doing us a favor by exposing the phony left right paradigm by having this TARP supporter speak at a freaking tea party. Par for the course in the paradigm. They are exposing how phony the 2 party system is and that the elite truly control both parties. Ill be handing out Obama Deception DVD’s if anyone needs one.

Barrett made a mistake, but I’m not going to let this one bad vote outweight all the good ones he’s made over the years. Also, he is still the most conservative candidate of the three that have announced.

Actually, you have the Anderson GOP confused with the majority of our State delegation.

Our county party is very conservative and hates the fact that Barrett got snowed into voting for that bill. It was the first one, not the second one.

I believe he is a fiscal conservative. He just had a brain fart. We all have them. He would be better than Henry Mac anyday of the week and twice on Sunday. And he would certainly be better than Andre.

Look at his record, it is 99% the way conservatives would have voted. He made a mistake, it happens. You must be in the tank for Henry Mac. Yeah, he’s the one that just about bankrupted the state party, had us in debt up to our ears, and almost had us fined over a $million. Loses a slam dunk kidnapping case. What a joke of a lawyer and a man.

Barrett for Governor sounds pretty good to me!

HD,

If the vote on the bailout was “the responsible thing to do” (an allegation that myself any many other fiscal conservatives disagree with), then Rep Barrett should have voted in favor of the original bill. Instead, he voted down the original bill (when the bill supposedly had to “pass quickly”) and only voted for it once it was laden down with enough pork to keep his friends swimming in BBQ for the next few years.

Fiscal conservative? Heck no.

Barrett’s vote on the “bailout” last fall was the responsible thing to do. Opposing the nonsense that has followed has also been the responsible thing to do. It is pretty widely understood by now that our financial system was on the verge of a complete meltdown in September. Congress did not have time to dilly around with crafting a perfect bill, or even a bill that didn’t suck in many ways. It had to craft a bill that would pass, and pass quickly.

Your pretensions to conservative purity are getting a bit tiresome.

Will, make sure you ask him about the medicare vote that he voted against that is now costing taxpayers somewhere to the tune of 3-5 TRILLION dollars. Get real you, Gresham’s one of the most conservative guys this state has ever seen.

ASK HIM WHEN SOCIAL SECURITY WAS PRIVATIZED AT FIDELITY INVESTMENTS TOO, WHILE YA’LL ARE BOOING HIM.
BARRETT HAS THE DETAILS OF SOCIAL SECURITY PRIVATIZATION AND HE THOUGHT IT WAS FINE FOR *ALL* SOUTH CAROLINIANS.
ASK HIM. GO AHEAD ASK….
