PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES INVITED TO MAKE THEIR FINAL PITCHES TO SOUTH CAROLINA VOTERS

What does the word “conservative” mean anymore?  Good question.  That label has been applied indiscriminately so many times – to so many different candidates and organizations – that it’s pretty much lost all meaning.

Sort of like “Republicans” have lost all credibility.  Even in, ahem, “conservative” states …

Anyway … all this is by way of saying there will be a “Conservative Convention” in Greenville, S.C. this February 18.  And yes, if you check your calendars you’ll see that’s a Thursday – two days before the big “Republican” presidential primary election in early-voting South Carolina.

This particular convention is being sponsored by Conservative Review, a which is best know for its congressional scorecards (used on websites like Breitbart News).

The event – which will be held at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in downtown Greenville, S.C. – has extended invitations to all of the GOP presidential candidates.  Also appearing?  Author and syndicated radio host Mark Levin (the keynote speaker), new media mogul Michelle Malkin (the host of the event) and U.S. Senator Mike Lee of Utah, U.S. Rep. Dave Brat of Virginia and Fox News’ host Sean Hannity.

It’s an “all-star conservative line-up,” the group claims.

Again … assuming that word means anything anymore.

Interested in attending yourself?  Click here …

Tickets are $10.00 at the gate unless you become a “CR Insider” ahead of time – in which case admission is free.

I always wondered why these moral conservatives support Trump? He has always been openly pro-choice and voted for and contributed to Hillary’s senate campaign. Oh well, I guess just spouting bigoted shit is good enough for them.

What about building part of his “empire” on casino gambling? His 3 marriages? I don’t think the religious right is OK with those either. Donald hasn’t changed into a conservative in the last few years. He is 69 years old his cake was baked decades ago. The man is a showman and knows what the crowd wants and he is giving it to them. And if he wins, they’ll once again be disappointed – because he isn’t going fulfill all those promises he is making. I bet he has no idea how he would either.

Many voters feel like it’s difficult to speak to contentious issues these days (immigration, race relations, the nature of marriage, etc.). Trump’s way of “telling it like it is, no matter the consequences” comes as “a breath of fresh air” to conservatives who worry that “political correctness” is preventing us from having tough conversations.

Trump fixed that.The ‘religious right’ will turn out in record numbers for Trump after 8 years of Satan.

Dems can’t win without Amnesty for illegals. Ain’t gonna happen.

rockyverdadeadbeataxcheat January 17, 2016 at 7:02 pm

Only thing Obama ‘got’ was legal faggot marriage from SCOTUS.His legacy.Not one Republican voted for Obamacare and it has failed.Iran deal will be reversed , more people are buying guns than ever.Federal courts have stopped Obama’s illegal immigration order’s.

He has accomplished nothing except destroying the Democrat Party.

LoL January 17, 2016 at 7:12 pm

Wow. Straight to the bigoted stuff. We all know that’s what his popularity with some people can be attributed to. The ACA is here to stay…until it is eventually replaced by single-payer. Obama has had a very successful final term. Thanks to his friends in the GOP. You sound like someone who has been under a rock for eight years. Keep it up. The DNC loves your work.

rockyverdadeadbeataxcheat January 17, 2016 at 7:17 pm

Successful? What has the radical Islamist loving ‘closet’ Muslim done except give Iran nukes? Obamacare is finished.My guns are safe.The Federal courts stopped his illegal E/O’s on immigration.

Oh.I forgot.Perverts can legally get married per SCOTUS.Who cares.

Reality January 17, 2016 at 6:54 pm

Yep, timing is everything.

Trump’s switch on the issue came in 2011, when he was flirting with running for president in 2012. He declared his anti-abortion stance at CPAC, the annual DC confab of conservative political activists, and later elaborated that his change of heart was motivated by a friend whose wife thought about an abortion but later went through with the pregnancy.

rockyverdadeadbeataxcheat January 17, 2016 at 6:55 pm

Too bad Haley didn’t figure that out.

Reality January 17, 2016 at 7:17 pm

Read some polls. Immigration is not the top issue with voters. Terrorism, dissatisfaction with government, jobs, economy all rank higher.

rockyverdadeadbeataxcheat January 17, 2016 at 7:22 pm

BINGO!!!! Trump has been able to tie immigration to ALL of those issues in a way that people understand.

I understand your desperation.This nation is still 70% white and if the Democrat Party doesn’t find a new group of voters (middle america has turned on them)they are finished as a party.

No Amnesty!!! BYE BYE DEMS!!!

Reality January 17, 2016 at 7:26 pm

So? Whites were the majority in 2008 and 2012 too.

rockyverdadeadbeataxcheat January 17, 2016 at 7:28 pm

White guilt no more.The damage Obama has done to this country has ended the Democrat Party.

FUCKING LIAR!

Trump says he’s pro-life except in the cases when a pregnancy endangers the life of the mother or is the result of rape or incest, although it remains unclear if he thinks abortion should be generally legal in the first three months of pregnancy (a position that is more accurately described as “pro-choice”).

Trump has said he’d sign a ban on abortion during the last four months of pregnancy, when infants can feel pain and are capable of surviving long-term outside the womb. But after undercover videos were released showing Planned Parenthood involved in the trafficking of aborted baby body parts, Trump said he wasn’t sure if the Planned Parenthood should lose all of its federal funding. He later shifted, saying: “I wouldn’t do any funding as long as they are performing abortions.”

Most hospital companies at least pretend to be not for profit. May be wrong, but If one actually owns an ‘arena’ or pays to have their name on one, they’re stunningly oblivious to how bad it looks.

A company that takes Medicare and Medicaid to pay for health care services has the excess cash to do either?

“Bon Secours Health System is a $3.3 billion not-for-profit Catholic health system sponsored by Bon Secours Ministries. Headquartered in Marriottsville, Maryland, the system owns, manages, or joint ventures 19 acute-care hospitals, one psychiatric hospital, five nursing care facilities, four assisted living facilities, and 14 home care and hospice services.”
