Sam Harms’ Letter To SC Republicans
Dear Republicans,
I want to provide you with the state of our Party, and let you know where I stand on the issues. The State Republican Party has been managed as follows during the past 2 years:

Don’t Do It, Rand Paul
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) will travel to South Carolina in late June to raise money for the South Carolina Republican Party – the same entity which dissed him earlier this month at the behest of fiscally liberal U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-S.C.).
We would strongly urge him to reconsider his decision …
We know Paul is [...]

SCGOP Chairman Draws A Challenger
We don’t give a rat’s ass who South Carolina “Republicans” choose as their leader. The SCGOP is no different ideologically these days than the S.C. Democratic Party, and the sooner the people of the Palmetto State figure that out the better off they’re going to be.
