[Theodore R.]

Is this the Barrett district? I don’t think its.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Yeah but did he appear next to McCain? If so then he's a RINO. Because Sarah only endorses RINOs who worship McCain you know

[AKchief67]

All the Palin endorses “so and so” is getting a might old.

The lovely Gov sure is interested in SC politics lately...

Funny,but as history has demonstrated,only serious GOP presidential contenders ever pay any real attention to our little redneck state.
We are,after all,the “Iowa Caucus” of The South--at least as far as the Republican Party is concerned.

Makes you wanna go “hmmmm.”

[Non-Sequitur]

Who’s running against him?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I would vote for Scott but I’m not in his district.

You Go, Girl!

[patriot preacher]

Oh yes, by the way, both Paul THurmond, son of the late Senator Strom Thurmond and Carroll Campbell, sone of the late Governor Carroll Campbell ALSO ran in this primary against Tim Scott. I am in another District in SC — but I am hoping Tim Scott wins the primary runoff, because, as another poster observed rightly, NO, SOuth Carolina DOES NOT NEED another political dynasty! NEW BLOOD, especially Conservative blood, is a GREAT thing for South Carolina!!!

Tim Scott on illegal immigration...

"South Carolina has been hit particularly hard by illegal immigration. Each year, we spend more than $186 million to educate, provide medical care, and incarcerate illegal aliens. Washington has failed to deal with the immigration problem, leaving the States to fend for themselves. That is why Tim Scott has sponsored immigration legislation that is modeled after the Arizona law. Tim will make strict immigration reform a top priority in Congress. He will fight to remove the incentives, like health care and education, which attract illegal immigrants to our state. Tim will also make sure our state law enforcement agencies are given the proper training and tools they need to enforce immigration laws. Tim is committed to strengthening penalties for employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants."

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH - June 8, 2010- Katherine Jenerette, Horry County Candidate for the 1st Congressional District seat being vacated by Rep. Henry Brown, held a press conference late Tuesday night to announce that she will endorse SC Rep. Tim Scott in his bid for Congress.

“I would like to congratulate Tim Scott in his finish in today’s primary election. Tim and I spoke shortly after his primary win was announced this evening and after that conversation I have decided to fully endorse the candidacy of Tim Scott to be the next United States Congressman for the First Congressional District of South Carolina.”

I felt that the right thing to do was to decide which candidate, in my judgment, would do what was in the best interest of the 1st District in the long run. I wanted to be certain that whoever I selected to endorse would be someone who shared my values and beliefs - my Commitment to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of rights - my belief in the sanctity of human life, including my views concerning the difficult questions of abortion, euthanasia, physician assisted suicide and protection of the unborn. I wanted to be certain that the promises made to our veterans and our active duty servicemen and women would be kept. I needed to know that who I supported would provide leadership on a wide range of topics, such as education, fair tax, social security, and they would ensure that our senior citizens would have access to the best medical care and receive support in their time of need during these changing times. I needed to know that the many local issues of tourism and hospitality, flood and disaster planning and the complexities of our district were foremost on the agenda of who I endorsed. And finally, I wanted to know that the people of Horry and Georgetown counties would not be forgotten once the votes were counted and the election was over. This is my home and these people are my neighbors.

Tim Scott shares my conservative platform and will carry a plan of legislative agendas forward; therefore I have decided to fully endorse the candidacy of Tim Scott to be the next United States Congressman for the First Congressional District of South Carolina.

Here are some of the many reasons why I have endorsed Tim Scott:

#1) I know that Tim will carry the conservative message from the First District voters to Washington, DC.
#2)  I know that Tim will cut wasteful government spending, watching every precious taxpayer dollar.
#3)  I know that Tim will fight to win the war on terror, and support our military so that America can continue to lead the free world.
#4) And I know that after getting to see and hear all of the all the Congressional candidates over the past few months, Tim Scott is the most effective advocate for conservative change, which is why I am honored to join his team.

I want to thank my husband and my four children for the support, encouragement, energy and love they have shown throughout the campaign. I want to thank my many supporters and volunteers who became my staff and consultants - I also need to thank the thousands of voters throughout the district who stood with me and made it clear that they think it's time to take a stand on the issues and put forward a clear vision and legislative agenda  to carry to Washington.

I encourage all of the voters of the First Congressional District to support Tim Scott and get out the Vote during the run off election. ~ Katherine Jenerette
