Lindsey Graham ally: Graham will face ‘competitive’ Tea Party challenge
NewsOK ^ | 07/23/2013 | Joel Gerhrke

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., will face a “spirited” and “competitive” primary challenge, according to ally and former South Carolina GOP chairman Katon Dawson, who nonetheless predicted that the South Carolina lawmaker would win reelection in 2014.

“We look forward to a very successful season, but certainly it’ll be competitive,” Dawson told the Washington Examiner in a phone message replying to questions about the 2014 race.

“Senator Graham has been one of the most successful politicians at the ballot box and has cut the hide of a South Florida alligator when it comes to campaigns and elections,” Dawson also said.

Dawson, who runs a pro-Graham super PAC called the West Main Street Values fund, promised that his group would ”meet the independent expenditure front that’s being mounted against the senator.”

Unlike McCain, Goober actually had potential.

Get rid of this Amnesty loving traitor.

If they pass Amnesty the USA is done

a conservative president will never get elected

conservative policies will never pass again.look at California after the previous Amnesty.

the democrats will use all the new Amnestied democrat voters to turn the USA into a communist state.

nothing else matters but Amnesty

and we all focus on Trayvon and everything else like Huma’s husband etc. if they pass Amnesty liberals win forever

Funny, I looked for their website, to see who they were.

The site has a link for “Who We Are”.

So I clicked on it.

It returned “This area is password protected”.

What transparency.

The site is exclusively focused on the Goober, so it isn’t so much of a “Political Action Committee” as it is the money arm of Goober’s election machine. And I suspect the PAC gives the twit a lot of obscurity in funding not possible using normal channels.

Funny, Linda Graham’s photo also appears under the definition of “closet homosexual” too.

Graham Fundraising History

Lindsey has 6.3 million of campaign funds and no debt. But it is interesting to see his fundraising history. This graph shows a trend they did not mention in the article.

I’d like to see Sarah Palin actively support a true Conservative challenger to Miss Linda.

Just to send a message if nothing else...

Graham has been in Washington long enough to be entrenched, dug in. He knows who the money players are. He knows who the power players are. That is why incumbency is difficult to defeat.

Eventually, the voters might tire of him.

Eventually, Providence might intercede.

Perhaps, the voters have to vote in a Democrat in one election and then try to unseat the Dem in the next election.

==

If the Tea Party elements are serious, they need to run a strong, serious, conservative, instead of just some name they can stick on the ballot. That takes serious organization, serious money, serious effort.

Let’s hope he stays there. I swear some of you want these people to come out. I DO NOT WANT to see the Senate celebrating Graham’s bravery of coming out of the closet as the first Senator to be gay. I think we need to stop saying that Graham is gay as he might get comfortable since conservatives are calling him that anyway. I want him to go away and go away quietly. But calling him gay or hinting it does nothing positive at all.

It seems odd he’d post that many articles but none about obama’s “phony scandals.” You know, bengahzi, irs, Fand F and the like

What are you talking about? Do you want me to ping you every time I post a "Bathouse Barry" comment? If so, get ready for an overdose of images that show: Just because I'm a newbie doesn't doesn't mean I'm a Democrat. Just ask the Pauken supporters, who complain that Texas AG Greg Abbot is a limp wristed Liberal. They'll tell you I'm no Leftist.
