“FR poster who discourage S.C.s conservative electorate BEFORE the election probably are secret supporters of the SCGOPe or are Democrats. It really is easy for the reader to discern.”
Well that is definitely not the case with me. I’m just looking ahead. Graham has been very skillful at manipulation and I want the people of South Carolina to be against him one way or the other. He has demonstrated himself to be a man who should not be trusted with legislative power.

My brush had too broad a stroke. My sincere apology; I know the good works you do. And thank you, Cotton.

Yep. One, not six who will allow “divide and conquer” to re-elect Linda.

Doesn't work that way, BB. And I believe that's previously been explained to you by another FReeper; perhaps more than once.
ALL of the challengers are running anti-Graham campaigns. SIX added together have a better chance of denying Graham the 50% + 1 vote he needs to avoid a run-off. Then in the runoff, anyone except Graham gets our vote.
But I'm almost certain you knew this.

The biggest disappointment I have is Sen. Tim Scott. I really thought he would be a good Conservative for South Carolina.
Unfortunately he decided to take part in the TV ads with Graham, which are saturating the airwaves, both claiming to be solid Conservatives.
I voted for Graham the first time he ran and have regretted it to this day but I won’t make that same mistake with Scott.

We can defeat Graham if we:
(1) thoroughly “vet” his six (SIX!) opponents to try to reduce that number
(2) select the best speaker/debater of the remaining candidates
(3) get all (ALL!) of the original six not selected to contribute their funds and organizations to the ONE remaing opponent facing Graham.
(4) Aggressively raise funds for the ONE.
(5) OUT CAMPAIGN!
(6) WIN!

Not the way it works in S.C. FReeper Upchuck has posted the explanation many, many times. I also gave a condensed version in this thread.

Another completely unbelievable article. The neo-cons are seeding these fake stories all over the net. Where does this stupid article back up its implausibe assertions that Graham is leading on anything? Oh, Graham is backed by the we-love-illegal-aliens Chamber of Commerce. Establishment Republicans also love themselves Lindsey. That’s certainly proof-positive that Graham will win.
Here’s the facts, FReepers. Graham has been polling somewhere between 37% and 42% approval ratings for a year or more, with both Republicans and democrats polled.
These articles are pure garbage designed to depress conservatives.

That TV ad is totally a Lindsey Graham campaign production from beginning to end. They can say pretty much anything they want in it.
Do you know for certain if this ad was done with Tim Scott's approval or co-operation? It sounds as you have inside information.

Hear hear!
EXACTLY correct you are! Precisely so. On-the-money. Nail-on-the-head. You be right, Sarge!

It is time for 3RD party options.
Referring to our State only or Nationally? What's your plan?
To: sergeantdave
“These articles are pure garbage designed to depress conservatives.”
I hope you are right. And I usually don’t post puff pieces or positive articles on Graham. I just wanted people to be aware of the possible lay of the land.
If we can build some momentum with some victories in May and early June, we can certainly force a runoff.
Brannon on Tuesday (and put a dent into Boehner’s election numbers), Sasse the following Tuesday, Georgia, Kentucky, and Oregon on 5/20, Texas on 5/27 and MS on 6/3.
If we take out Cochran on June 3rd, we can take out Graham on June 10th.

One TV ad, made by Graham people, in which GRAHAM IS RIDING TIM SCOTT'S CONSERVATIVE COATTAILS, dissuades you from supporting Scott?! No; there has to be another reason.
Free Republic is and always has been a website for conservatives. Of course, others can register and post also.

Even if Cochran is NOT defeated, South Carolina Constitutional conservatives, with help from some S.C. Republicans, CAN DENY RE-NOMINATION to Graham on June 10th or 3 weeks later in the presumed run-off.
Cotton?
To: Resettozero
Oh, I agree. I was just saying that momentum would help.

Hmmm...
“Not the way it works in S.C.”
So are you saying that one candidate NEVER gives his/her support to another candidate as voting day approaches? NEVER?
Are you saying that Conservative S.C. Republicans have NO choice but to allow their primaries to be “hi-jacked” by dirty-trickster cross-over Democrat voters?

“But Davis said he could do more for his libertarian-leaning causes in the state Senate, and that to run against Graham, he would need to raise a lot of money.”
On that at least I agree with Davis, if we are to reclaim our liberty the bulk of the work must be done from the State Houses and Senates.
We need to control education, we need to start teaching the central important of economic liberty again.
Furthermore our States must be a the center of the movement to take power back from Washington. They must be made into the weapon that can not only push Washington back into its box but keep it there.
It is thou their strength that we the people gain our power to vote with not only our stronger ballots but as free people with our feet.
