“Nancy Mace – the Lowcountry businesswoman who is viewed as the most electable alternative to Graham.” Other than Sic Willie, who has this “view”?
Her close friends and relatives?
Sounds like Bright is in debt $3 million and Mace is involved with the website that falsely accused Haley of adultery.
Can we get a real candidate please?
Me
+2
Me,
Me!
CNSYD – valid point. I think her associations and skeletons in her closet make her among the least electable candidates in the race…which says something, given the candidates.
TBG
<—- This guy
As the field stands today, if they all stay in it until the primary, she will get my vote and will have more votes than the others (excepting Graham, maybe)
Just the usual FITS robot assclowns. Although a few haven’t checked in yet.
All 3 customers of her “company”.
ME……….and 4000+ SPAWAR Atlantic workers who understand that no US Secretary of State goes into another country and declares “We Came, We Saw, and he DIED” while no South Carolina sitting Senator has the ballz to tell anyone what caused the Benghazi fiasco that got people KILLED…..!!!!
Lol, so true. Anywhere other then fitsnews people would say, Nancy who???????????????? Graham is going to win this primary in a landslide.
although we love his voting record

As a school board member, Bright called for teaching creationism in school science classes, *instead* of evolution.
During his tenure in the senate Bright has been accused of introducing “red meat” proposals; measures known to have little chance of success but that are introduced as publicity tactics to invigorate a key constituency.
Bright has been a strong opponent of abortion and has been a sponsor of the “Life Begins at Conception Act” for three years.
In 2011 Bright cast the lone “no” vote in the South Carolina senate against a measure that would allow early voting, explaining “I think people ought to vote on Election Day.”
Bright served as South Carolina chair of *Michele Bachmann’s* bid for the Republican nomination.
Bright quipped “If at first you don’t secede, try again.”
In 2010 Bright sponsored legislation that would make any firearm produced in the state exempt from federal regulations. Bright was one of six senators to oppose the bi-partisan “Boland Bill,” a bill that would prevent the mentally ill from owning firearms.
Bright is currently working through foreclosure proceedings brought against his company, On Time Trucking, by Capital Bank. A civil suit filed by the bank stated that On Time Trucking owed $318,000 in back mortgage payments.
“Vote for me – I’m Bright!”
He has the best high school education that money can buy.
Cobble together his lack of education and enormous debt and you got a dead man walking here. Surprised he stayed in this long.
Bright quipped “If at first you don’t secede, try again.”
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
I thought I’d be even-handed and put in a positive thing he said.
Another in the one-meaningless-political-gesture-after-another school of politics put forth by Mark Sanford…which way too many SCGOP voters still haven’t figured out.
I still haven’t figured Mark Sanford out either. Is he getting married? Per ‘The State”, he and Belen were at a party recently and hardly anyone saw them. They are still trying not to be seen together in public.
What’s with them?
He needs time to launder his dirty money.
Those bulging eyes…I think that boy may have a thyroid problem.
No one but Fits views Mace as “the most electable alternative.”
If there are some personal finance issues, that doesn’t bode well for his “fiscal conservatism” or his mantra of budget balancing, etc. Not to say he’s a terrible guy…we all make mistakes…but Graham will eat him alive with that.
Mace is right on the fundraising, but I’m just not convinced where she really is on the issues…nor am I convinced that she knows exactly where she is on the issues.
This race is still young. Connor and Cash are in it too. Connor’s only been in for a month…he’s playing catch up, but if Bright stumbles, he could emerge. I, admittedly, do like him, but I just want somebody to beat Graham…please!
He always has a look on his face like he just heard a fart and cannot quite decide whether it’s his own fart or some one else’s.
Capable of making an informed decision, Damn, he’s already more qualified than Graham.
Um… no. Not really.
My Grandpa on his farm always said,
” The hen that lays the egg cackles first.”
My Grandpa (also on a farm) used to say, “it’s a foul wind that blows from the stockyard!” I still live by that.
No mention that Bright was in Oklahoma raising money for a SC race? He was also blowing the hell out of a dog whistle while there.
“We’ve got a lot of people who won’t work. And they won’t work because we’ll provide their food, and we’ll provide their housing and we’ll provide them their spending money and we’ll provide them their spending money,” Bright said at a fundraising event in Tulsa, Oklahoma. “We’ve all seen it, the folks in line who are using [food stamps], yet they’ve got the nicest nails and the nicest pocketbook and they get the nicest car.”

Lee Bright Ain’t.
I just hope young Mr. Flintstone’s star doesn’t wink out before he has the chance to print some of that sovereign South Carolina currency. I would loves to get me some of that, yessir, and Bitcoins be damned.
Wonder if he’s floated an offer to pay off his debt to Capital One with “Sakerlina BrightBucks?”
Bright wants to take out the greed machine at First Steps
Wonder if Lee Not So Bright can pay down that $1.5 million debt he owes with bitcoin?
How much is Nancy paying you to write these stories?
Insert dumbass, play on words for “Bright” here. Hyuck…hyuck…
Bright was not too bright to enter this race knowing he has that kind of debt. he would do the conservatives a service by withdrawing from the race. we don’t need another politician who only talks a good fiscal conservative game, but cannot walk the talk. while i don’t condemn him for trying his entrepreneurial talent, his failure as a business man does not qualify him for a political office.
or does it?
