Tea Party turns its back on backstabbing TARP supporter and drives him out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QsY2r7HbTM

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- A Spartanburg County judge has ordered a political action committee to pull it's ads. ReformSC is running ads in support of Republican candidate for governor Nikki Haley. Judge James Hayes issued the order at the request of Haley primary opponent Rep. Gresham Barrett and three unnamed donors to ReformSC.

As far as we’re concerned, U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett is a substance-less, cliche-spouting, status quo-supporting hypocrite who is literally a seer sucker suit and pair of white bucks away from being the redneck version of Al Pacino in The Devil’s Advocate. Sure, he has a 98.whatever rating from a bunch of Washington D.C.-based “taxpayer” groups, but where was Barrett when the taxpayers really needed him? Flip-flopping, that’s where … On top of that, his so-called “jobs” plan is nothing but a bunch of big government malarkey … and he can’t quit telling us how much he loves Jesus all the...

Last Sunday, I attended a Tea Party in Melbourne, Fla., where the Space Coast's U.S. Rep. Bill Posey, a Republican, was well received. Some 2000 Space Coast residents cheered when Posey held up two large reams of Stimulus Bill print-out before tossing it to the floor. After Posey ended his speech to loud applause, emcee Bill Mick of Melbourne's WMMB Radio told organizers to leave the Stimulus print-out on the floor, as it was just trash anyway. The crowd roared approvingly. Posey's remarks were favorably met, unlike the "welcome" given another Republican congressman at the Greenville, S.C., Tea Party. Gresham...

Emphasis on mercilessly, especially when he says, “I have devoted my life to the conservative cause.” The Palmetto Scoop caught it all, and no wonder: Barrett’s been eating crap from South Carolinians for his TARP vote for months so everyone knew what was coming here, right down to the guy screaming “Go home!” for the full six-minute duration. Believe it or not, according to CNN, Barrett’s planning to run for governor next year. Don’t get your hopes up, Gresh. Normally the sight of a Republican being booed off a stage would be instant “Daily Show” material, but Stewart’s naturally got...

Barrett says U.S. must win war on terrorism Posted Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 7:44 pm By David Dykes STAFF WRITER ddykes@greenvillenews.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e-mail this story -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Four days in Iraq convinced U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett the war on terrorism is essential, even though the task is daunting and involves rebuilding a foreign country ravaged by war and a ruthless dictator. "If we don't devote the men, the material, the money and the effort to win this war in the streets of Baghdad, in the streets of Mosul, in the streets of any little town in Iraq, then we're going...
