Dear Patriot,

We are going after Lindsey Graham in South Carolina. The information we’ve gleaned from researching him is incredible. When you look at his LOOOOOONG history in Washington you begin to realize that all the corruption we hate isn’t new, guys like Graham have been doing it for decades.

So the question is how do we defeat him and how do we ensure that the candidate we replace him with doesn’t lose to a Democrat in the general election.

With that in mind, we are going back to South Carolina and will give you an opportunity to meet the candidates who want to replace Graham.   I’ve got to say that there is already a strong pool of candidates announced in the race.

The good news is that election system in South Carolina plays in our favor. If none of the candidates running receive 50 percent of the vote, then the top two square off in a runoff. Our goal isn’t to keep Lindsey Graham under 50 percent, it’s to leave him out of the runoff and I think if we are capable of making that happen.

We aren’t going to endorse a “single” candidate opposing Graham, we’re going to endorse all serious challengers.  We’re going to ask each of the candidates that before receiving our financial support to generally agree to the following:

  • The candidates will go out of their way to find something nice to say about other candidates not named Lindsey Graham.
  • The candidates will agree to do a series of candidate forums to politely discuss policies that they’d like to champion if elected.
  • The candidates will agree to make a little time each week to answer reasonable questions in social media.
  • In the case that Lindsey Graham and another candidate get into a runoff they will actively support Lindsey Graham’s opponent.

If they’ll agree to hold to these terms, here is the support we can offer. We will make an initial financial contribution of $500 to the campaigns of Richard Cash, Nancy Mace, and Lee Bright.  We are going to hold a classic car show in Spartanburg around Labor Day and each of them will be invited to come speak for four minutes each.

We will offer a cash prize for the car show and provide live music, so we’re pretty confident we can get a crowd there.  This is an opportunity for each of these candidates to reach out to their potential constituents and convince them that they could do a better job than Lindsey Graham.

This will be our second trip to the state and we’re going to keep going back until we replace Lindsey Graham. If we’re going to defeat Lindsey Graham we are going to have to find creative ways to create relationships with voters. Graham basically has a blank check for his campaign.  He will be able to dominate the airways, blanket people with mailers, and hire the best staff money can buy.

We believe that there is no amount of money that can convince the good people of South Carolina that Lindsey Graham hasn’t played a leading role in the disastrous decisions our government has been making for more than decade.

While we concede that we can’t compete with Lindsey Graham in a bidding war for the airwaves, we can do many other things to connect with the people of South Carolina. The car show is just the beginning!

If we’re going to defeat Graham it’s going to happen because a lot of people around the country give us the resources we need to make a difference. I’m proud of our record of accomplishment and believe that our results speak for themselves.

If patriots around the country will continue to generously support our efforts we’ll continue to fight make this vision a reality and a year from now we can triumphantly proclaim that we tore down another old political machine.

Personally I think your requirements for financial support are a little pansy assed. How about 500 to the candidate that can find his nuts and another 500 if they can kick them up to the back of his throat?

I’ll try to get more serious on this later. Fracking Grahmnesty.

I like their idea. I hope Nancy Mace is the front runner but really, as long as whoever wins is NOT Lindsey Graham, I will be happy. That goes if they are the Democrat, too!

ANYONE BUT LINDSEY, 2014!!!!!!!!

Johnson was talking about “false patriotism” in general and a false patriot in particular, namely one John Stuart, Prime Minister of England in 1762. He was a tutor to Prince, soon to be King George. Stuart expected to ride his tutelage to power but George (and others) saw through him and he was pushed aside.

“Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” is not a condemnation of patriotism in general, only of those who cloak themselves in it for convenience sake.

By Golly! These folks are really on the right track. Now, just include trucks, tractors, a fish fry, a b-b-q, and the entire cast from Myrtle Beach Manor — and they’ve hit the jackpot!

I’m far more concerned with the validity of a group calling themselves the Western Representation PAC thinking they might have any sway in South Carolina politics. Western RPAC supported Sharon Angle against Reid, arguably one of the most corrupt senator’s in the congress and she got bitch slapped – mainly because Western RPAC played the field in the primaries and the Republican candidates “sliced and diced” each other. Playing the field never works.

At least these folks are doing something to participate in the election process. This is more than I’m doing, although I still harbor my secret dream of writing a speech for some politician, and giving it to him cold just before he starts speaking. Alas, my wit is no longer appreciated in that arena.

“Senator Bluster, there were some things in your speech that I didn’t quite understand”
“Probably, young man, because those were the topics I referred to in a confident. offhand way, so as to avoid disclosing that I don’t understand them either.”

Back in the early days a young politician from Vermont sought to locate in the South. He wrote to a friend in South Carolina, asking him what the prospect seemed to for “an honest young politician and Republican.” His friend replied, “If you are an honest politician, you will have absolutely no competition. If you are a Republican, the game laws will protect you.”

So if it’s a “PAC release” regarding Lindsey Graham, did it happen in a gay bathhouse on a massage table?

Btw, I’m all for the scorched earth policy. Does anyone have a fag(Queens English definition) with which to start the fire?

I don’t care for Lindsey Graham at all.

But, I do care more for SC than to be stupid enough to vote out a senior senator for a worthless junior senator. Especially, one that has so much power in DC on the GOP side.

What we should do is vote out Tim Scott, and replace him with a strong Democrat. Then just keep sending him back for more seniority. That way: no matter whose in charge in DC, GOP OR DEM: SC always has a powerful voice in how this country is run.

SC is just too small to continue to vote out senior political figures and be all in for just the GOP. We need to own the Democrats: too!

IT’S JUST THE SMART THING TO DO.

I have no reason to favor or support Graham . . . until I see who is rabidly against him. Then I have to give pause.

Graham is a douche bag. I know many conservatives who want him thrown under the bus. They have followed him and listened to his delusional bs for years like I have. No matter what anyone might say to the contrary, Graham is a sick – corrupt – puppy.
