Three days ago this website broke the news that Orangeburg, S.C. attorney and Afghan War veteran Bill Connor’s would join the 2014 Republican primary race for the U.S. Senate seat held by liberal Lindsey Graham.
Now comes Connor’s three-and-a-half-minute introduction video, which we’re going to go ahead and guess makes some reference to his prior military service.
How do we know? Just a hunch, people … just a hunch.
Anyway, while this website has offered a realistic assessment of Connor’s chances (he has no chance), one “conservative” website has gone ga-ga over Connor … referring to him as a “game-changing challenger.”
“As an unapologetic conservative who is popular with the tea party and the Christian right, combined with his impressive military record and foreign policy credentials, Connor may prove to be the most formidable of Graham’s opponents,” the website South Carolina Conservative notes.
Well alrighty then …
Connor ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of South Carolina in 2010 – losing in the GOP runoff election to corrupt “Republican in Name Only” Ken Ard. More recently, he ran unsuccessfully for chairman of the S.C. Republican Party.
Running unsuccessfully is just part of his DNA … unless of course we’re talking about “running leg,” in which case Connor has been a little too successful for his own good (ba doom ching).
Graham is already facing three GOP challengers: S.C. Sen. Lee Bright, Charleston, S.C. businesswoman Nancy Mace and Upstate businessman (and social conservative favorite) Richard Cash. He’s also facing a Democrat, although the state’s liberal establishment is doing everything within its power to torpedo Graham’s possible general election opponent.

I don’t have 3.5 minutes to waste on this loser. I am happy that after his crumbling defeat in the primary, he will join Andre Bauer on the political ashpile. He probably won’t buy a racetrack like Andre did, but I’m sure more publicity will help his ambulance chasing career. Not to mention his ass chasing career.
Bauer bought a racetrack?! Damn, that’s just too easy…
Wait – shooting folks in a foreign country is the execution of foreign policy – it does not give someone foreign policy credentials. Military experience and even CGSC does not give someone a foreign policy game. But we do need some jesus lovin’ adulterers in our Senate.
one hot daughter, the other an uggo — wife looks scared in the family photo, probably has been beaten by Bill a few times
That comment is so horribly mean – spirited and boorish, I nearly spit out my coffee with laughter. I defy anyone to read that comment in Peter Griffin’s voice and not crack up.
I think she put the beating on him…especially when he was getting ready to leave her for his mistress. His wife cut his nuts off. I mean, he developed some family values.
It’s good to know he takes time from his family for the important things, like war and mistresses.
which daughter are you referring to as hot?
Which of the two daughters are you referring to as hot?!!!!!!!!!!
He is a reservist, which means mostly a weekend warrior. Most reservists do their weekends with no fanfare. Not Connors. It is the highlight of his FB every month. He pretends that he is a strategist. He is really part of a unit that goes around drinking coffee and telling stories. He is not in a real unit. Why doesn’t he EVER talk about his real career? Oh yeah, because he is a professional opportunist and losing candidate. Says a lot about him that his fellow Citadel grads support Mace over him. I guess they are tired of him embarrassing them. He claims to have foreign policy experience? As a reservist officer, he was told where to be and when to be there. Not a policy or decision maker. SC voters have always seen through this guy. This won’t be any different. He will finish last. Take off your uniform when campaigning. It is illegal and immoral.
I wonder if any of you who are piling on Bill Connor here actually know him. Have you ever met him or had the opportunity to talk with him for 5 minutes? Well, I do know Bill and I will say this…..He is the absolute worst. I can’t imagine anyone more conceited and arrogant than this guy. How he continues to believe that he is a viable candidate for anything demonstrates his unmatched delusional arrogance. I applaud everyone who can see through his pathetic family values army veteran schtick whether you have met him or not.
Bravo!!
Dear “Mr. Bill”, we wonder just how long it is going to take you hear certain Graham Lobby gurlz scream “Ohh, Noooo!”
Kudos for a fine video. A good mash up that Jon Stewart would snicker about. The question is, would Al Franken applaud your efforts or not because he knew what it took to WIN an election. We highly suggest that you stop playing patty cake and start laying out the dissection of Graham for all to see. Republicans and Democrats. If you decide to lose this election, what position do you think you will be rewarded with? Care to wager.

Our Funding Editor knows a crack-pot.
She laff’ed so hard at Bill Conner’s video that she puked her second double Black Jack and Metamucil cocktail this evening into her panty hose.
What a mess,
She said that Kombat Konner reminds her of Kombat Katherine (Sweet-Toes) Jenerett.

Both are kombat bimbos. Real combat soldiers get dirt on their uniforms. Kombat Konner and Kombat Katherine get perfume on theirs’.
