State Sen. Lee Bright announced his candidacy Tuesday for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate, calling incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham “a community organizer for the Muslim Brotherhood.”

“During the (congressional) recess, when I would hope that he would be around folks in South Carolina, getting their feelings on so many issues that affect their lives, he has instead chosen to take his time to be a community organizer for the Muslim Brotherhood and that concerns me,” Bright told supporters in a conference call. “He needs to spend more time listening to what the brothers in South Carolina have to say.”

At the request of President Barack Obama, Graham last week visited Egypt with U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., to help calm things down

Okay so they’re going to have all these contenders against him and split up the votes so Graham will get the most votes for one candidate. Yeah sounds like a plan to me....

Graham has big AMNESTY money behind him. This guy needs big money to stop him.

There’s a runoff in SC. All they have to do is keep Graham under 50%, then it’s a one on one battle between a moderate-liberal and a conservative. And in the mean time, Lindsey runs through a ton of his vaunted “warchest.” Let’s make him spend every single penny.

“...to help calm things down...” - but instead made things much worse. They were meddling, as usual, in matters in which they proclaim themselves experts, but are actually stupid!

If Graham doesn’t get at least 50% of the votes there will be a runoff. We need as many candidates as possible to jump in and attack him non stop.

These contenders should hold their own Iowa-style caucus and have ONE contender run against Graham.

Or.....what if we did in almost a reverse fashion what the GOPe did to every Presidential candidate this last time around.

One candidate announces that they are running against Graham and the Graham hit squad spends money destroying that candidate. Then another candidate annouces, hit squad takes that one out. Repeat, repeat, repeat....Place the easy targets first with each following candidate being harder to take out. Make him drain his money war chest.

Yep there is no splitting the vote in this one. They just have to keep him a hair under 50.

Remember how pissed Hatch was when he was forced into a primary? I think forcing a runoff (even if it’s expected) will be a major blow to Graham’s ego (oops, I said Graham and blow in the same sentence). He thinks he’s one of the most brilliant men that ever lived and that America just can’t do without him in govenrment.

I heard the interview of Beck with Lee Bright on Beck’s radio program the other day, and Bright is impressive. SC would do well by picking him for their next Senator, IMO.

fta...“a community organizer for the Muslim Brotherhood.”
*************************
Excellent description! Obama is a HUGE supporter of the MB and he knew he could depend on McCain and Lindsey to carry his water in trying to get Sissi to release the MBs who are behind bars now.

Obama’s administration is loaded with MBs.
