Lindsey Graham’s Covert Op: Going Full Democrat

Establishment Republican Trying to Seduce Obama Voters

On the eve of Lindsey Graham having to face his top challenger, Lee Bright, at the polls, Team Graham is running a quiet campaign to woo Democrats. Publicly, Graham’s Campaign is saturating South Carolina TV stations touting his supposed “conservative credentials” – yet he is simultaneously using web ads and social media to target Democrats and to remind them they can vote for him in the Republican Primary.

“Well, he’s the liberals’ favorite Republican in Washington, so he is simply following form by trying to sneak past 50 per cent with some Democrat voters,” said Bright, who added, “This is really so predictable. In fact, we predicted it. This is the guy who voted for ObamaCare before he voted against it, and who is very close to John Kerry. He’s obviously reaching out to his true base.”

Edmund Wright, Bright’s Communications Director, said, “This is quintessential political cross dressing. It’s quite a little paradox too, targeting Democrats with web ads while using his lobbying money to spread the fabricated rumor that he’s a conservative on television.”

Graham must be getting worried. I guess she figures the dimocrats will vote for her more than once.

[MrB]

Never go full democrat.

[txrefugee]

So the South Carolina GOP still let’s Democrats vote in its primary. That is really, really stupid.

[GraceG]

We should encourage the RINOcrats to become full DEMOcrats whenever and however we can.

We should show up at their events, claim to be Democrats and plead them to join the democrat party and stoke their egos and tell them how much we would love them if they took a stand and made it official on paper...

[JRandomFreeper]

The GOP-E fights to keep open primaries. They love letting liberal democrats pick their candidates.

You beat me to it.

[Robe]

I cracked up watching the SC Repub debate the other night when Graham said he was supported by the Chamber Of Commerce.
That’s the &%$^$ing problem !!!!
I’ll be voting for Lee Bright

On the eve of Lindsey Graham having to face his top challenger, Lee Bright, at the polls...

Lee Bright leads the other five challengers in the polls (by a small margin) but isn't as popular a candidate in S.C. as some posters on FR might lead a reader to believe.

Lee sure has money backing him, as do Richard Cash and Nancy Mace. Too bad Bright cannot use any of that to pay the many and large debts he has incurred in relation to his failed trucking business and other endeavors.

Perhaps tomorrow will clear up this matter of popularity.

[Norm Lenhart]

It’s a lesser evil. Ask any conservative fraud on FR.

In a little over 24 hours, we will learn how many stupid South Carolinians that there are. Bob

You have completely lost it. You, like Nancy Mace, attack Lee Bright rather than Lindsey Graham.

I see that you had to ask the Mod to erase your other thread on this topic. Too embarrassing, eh?

Well, I was wrong about the ad being a dirty trick which was the reason I had posted the article originally. I had been told incorrectly that the Mace campaign was not the sponsor of the radio ad which I heard an hour or two ago on the Rush Limbaugh show in the Upstate. She apparently DID authorize the ad and Bobby Mack says it is legit.

But the ad is against Lindsey Graham first and foremost and also mentions the reasons why Mace believes Lee Bright is not the best replacement for LG, which is her right to do, especially in a campaign.

The reasons Mace's ad mentions are provable matters of record and are well-known to voters in the Upstate, especially Spartanburg County, regarding Bright's failed trucking business and the large debts he still incurs from that and other endeavors.

The reasons Mace listed are valid points and are part of the reasoning my wife and I have used to decide to vote tomorrow for Richard Cash...but not because of Mace's radio ad.

[mazda77]

The reasons, the reasons, the reasons. Have we not heard them all before? How about the reasons that Mace is not polling better than Bright or, even Graham? How’s that for reasoning?

[neal1960]

Bright explains his debt problems...Bright said the company failed for a variety of reasons, including uncollectible debt and a severed contract with a receivables financing company. Increased costs in fuel and those associated with government regulation also played a part.

“I’m not immune to the economy,” Bright said. “I have constituents calling me everyday who are going through the same thing. I’m not happy that I can empathize with them, but I think it gives me some perspective.” Bright still has my supprot.

We (three votes) plan to vote for Richard Cash tomorrow June 10th. If everyone is correct in telling me how popular Lee Bright is, I will be voting for him in the run-off against Lindsey Graham three weeks from tomorrow. Where is my error in reasoning?

[Servant of the Cross]

If everyone is correct in telling me how popular Lee Bright is, I will be voting for him in the run-off against Lindsey Graham three weeks from tomorrow.

As far as I'm aware, Nancy Mace has rejected making that same pledge ... right?

[Resettozero]

Bright still has my support.

He'll have my reluctant vote in a potential run-off against LG in three weeks. But not tomorrow.

Cash is the better man and would represent me better in the U.S. Senate than Lee Bright can.

Yes, I have heard Lee Bright's excuses for his (sizable) debts that have not been properly addressed or paid.

[Resettozero]

As far as I'm aware, Nancy Mace has rejected making that same pledge ... right?

Why do you persist in posting to me as if I'm voting tomorrow for Nancy Mace?

The Lord willing, tomorrow I vote for Richard Cash.

I am aware that Mace does not support Lee Bright and that may well be the reason she did not agree to Bright's pledge.

Besides, Lee Bright is very effective as my State Senator in Columbia!

[Servant of the Cross]

Why do you persist in posting to me as if I'm voting tomorrow for Nancy Mace?

Because you have well earned that distinction with your persistent postings of many varied apologias and advocacy of dear Nancy ever since this Senatorial campaign started.

I would point to an earlier thread as Exhibit A, but alas, it has been deleted at your request.
