Wouldn't it be something if Ravenel caused Lindsey Graham to lose his Senate seat? John McCain would be very sad.

“If I can just get the drug vote, I can win by a landslide”

That statement, alone, is enough to make me vote, no. What an idiotic way to express one of his core campaign issues.

Almost anyone who can make Lindsey Graham go away and make McCain sad should be encouraged.

Not a druggie. Got enough drunks and druggies in DC.

I agree with you on the “drug vote” comment - but I will say, to this guys credit, he has hit on a point that far too many Freepers can’t get through their heads….which is supposedly pristine candidates are running the country into the ground.

Sometimes it’s better to have an obviously flawed candidate in their personal life, who has the right view of government. Because in the end, it’s government bureaucrats and officials carrying out government policy that ruin our lives, our freedoms, our businesses, our school……wife cheaters and other imperfect candidates do not do this.

I think that was a tongue-in-cheek statement. He was trying to be humorous, but, there is a lot more truth to that than people realize. It would surprise you if you knew how many people, from all walks of life, do some type of recreational drug. That is a “huge” voting bloc. You just wouldn’t believe.

This is the price you pay for not getting behind ONE primary challenger who could have defeated Linda.

Well, you get to choose between drunks/druggies or a faggot.

Sad. That’s not a choice, it’s a death sentence for our Republic.

Now, that is true in Presidential Primaries. One Moderate (Romney) against a gazillion Conservatives who divided up the vote and Romney waltzes to the nomination. But, in this case, that does not hold true. Graham got over 56 percent of the vote. Whether you get 56% against one guy or five, you still win. Your logic does not apply here.

The rehab rate has to be higher w/ drunks&druggies that the other. I’d give this guy a chance.

My skeletons are out there for everyone to see.

Kind of refreshing when you see Obozo spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep his and Michelle's past sequestered. Can any of you liberals who lurk here explain why someone with nothing to hide spends that kind of money to keep the public in the dark? Methinks Mr. Transparency is afraid of his past.

Get the drug vote. Get the gay vote. Everybody votes but the conservatives apparently, or we would not be in such a sad condition.
I am tired of voting for the lesser of two evils but we don’t always get a candidate who makes us feel really good about values.

I would NOT be upset if this dude steals away enough votes to cause Graham to lose.

He may have a chance if he stays after it. It is for sure Grahamnesty doesn’t generate any passion to get folks off the couch and drive to the polls. As a matter of fact apathy has probably unseated many in the past.........

‘How about we ask Barack Obama: Would society have benefited if he’d been arrested and incarcerated? Would society have benefited?'

Actually, society would have been better off, all over the world, if Obama was sitting in a jail cell and not the oval office. Bad example, fella.

I could see his approach playing in the mountain states or maybe even in New Hampshire. South Carolina? No.
