Opponents?

Contenders?

Are they really all opponents or are they just trying to split the conservative vote, ala McCain 2008 and Romney 2012?

Conservatives need to find the most solid one or two and coalesce behind them.

Also, people have to be leary and check out any opposition PAC. Are they really opposition or are they quietly funding the incumbent or are they scams to make some people rich?

With all these people getting into the race, Graham will win while they split the vote.

Some of this activity must be GOP-E inspired to help Lindsey in the primary.

Conservatives in SC should have a third party candidate ready to go if the RINO wins the primary which is lot more likely in a crowded field.

The issue at hand is not money as Newt who won our primary for President. Its based on values.

Richard Cash, a businessman and former South Carolina congressional candidate, announced his candidacy in April.

Holy cow. This guy announced 3 months ago and his name is basically unrecognizable. South Carolina better get it's act together. Graham is not going to be easy to beat. Isn't there a person in South Carolina with name recognition that could run instead of having to begin at the starting line?

The Tea Party has to fight both the Dems AND the Republicans. Sad.

We really need the Tea Party to totally detach from the useless Republican Party and stand on its own. We have no other option.

I’m game. How is it done? Please inform me.
Perhaps Sarah Palin is the go to person. She is talking of running for senator. Is she going to attempt a republican run?

Bright looks like the right pick here. If Mace is connected in any way with slime like Will Folks, she can’t be trusted.

Ted Cruz looks to be the real deal. A fearless and powerful personality, the type of inspirational leader that is needed for people to coalesce around. He, Mike Lee and others no doubt recognize that their association with the Republican Party is a drag on their ambitions and beliefs. The also must sense that people are looking for a new direction.

One thing we know for sure: the Republican Party is too compromised and unprincipled to represent us.

“Isn’t there a person in South Carolina with name recognition” [who can beat Flimsey Graham]?

YES! His name is Rep. Trey Gowdy.

Gowdy for Senate, then Gowdy for President!!

:^)

There are only a handful of the congressional reps who understand that as a whole the democrat body is not a friend of America.

The people who get elected and talk about "reaching across the aisle", "my good friend from wherever" (when speaking about a liberal), or refer to Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer as "gentle ladies" are collaborators in the destruction of our constitution. They are staunch supporters of the beltway elite and don't deserve respect or support, IMO.

"“But then they start watching TV ads, and more about his record comes out, and they say, ‘Wait a minute. This guy is more conservative than I thought.’"

Considering that Grahamnesty sets the bar so low, my dog is as conservative.

"Don't worry, Lynds, we take care of our own! We're backing some 'Tea Party' ringers in the primary! We'll fracture the conservative opposition and you'll sail on through!"

********

Republicans, unlike their Democrat “good friends”, NEVER play to win. To the Dems, politics is blood sport and they truely believe that the ends jusitifes the means. They will use any tactic to get their way. No holds barred. By contrast, Republicans think politics is a congenial game of checkers.

Until this mindset changes (if it ever does), Republicans will never win at anything.

It’s a tall order to oust Lindsey with open primary here. I’d expect the libs to unify around a single candidate and then many will crossover instead to support Graham - trying to get the less conservative opponent, in the likely event theirs loses.

"By contrast, Republicans think politics is a congenial game of checkers. ~~~~~ Until this mindset changes (if it ever does), Republicans will never win at anything."

Our job is to elect support and encourage people who understand what you said there.

There are three groups of people who are joining together to rip our constitution apart and destroy the republic:
1. Liberal democrats who believe America's system of free enterprise and self determination is the root of all evil.
2. Well intentioned people who are swayed by emotional messages and fund or vote for the liberals who's real game they don't understand.
3. The "republicans" you mentioned above who are naive and don't understand the fight along with their cohorts who simply don't have the courage to stand up for our liberty.

Our fight is not easy and won't be won preaching to the choir on conservative blogs. If just ten percent of the people who voted for Mitt Romney would get out and convince one person of the value of standing for conservatism we could put the liberals back 10 or 20 years. Of those converts or recruits; if just 10% of them would recruit a voter our insurance would be written in stone.

Let's get up and hit the streets with a program of education.
