Independent U.S. Senate candidate Thomas Ravenel and Beaufort County Councilman Rick Caporale will talk about their campaigns with Beaufort Tea Party members at 5:30 p.m. Monday at Fuji's Restaurant on 97 Sea Island Parkway on Lady's Island.

Ravenel is the former state treasurer and newly minted reality TV star. He joined the race against Sen. Lindsey Graham last month as a petition candidate with the support and signatures of more than 17,000 registered voters across the state.

Caporale was set to defend his seat representing part of Hilton Head Island and greater Bluffton against Colleton River Plantation resident Lynn King. However, King failed to collect enough signatures to qualify as a petition candidate, the county indicated Friday.

Be interesting if a few SC Freepers could show up at this event tonight and report back to us on how Ravenel was received by the Tea Party folks. He'll probably make it an integral part of his campaign to reach out to Tea Partiers. I'm just curious why this group meets at 5:30 p.m. That would make it a hardship for some people, who work and commute, to make the meeting. Whassup with that?

People should read Ravenel’s views on the War on Terror and Radical Islam. He is firmly in the camp with Code Pink and other Birkenstock wearing No Blood For Oil types. Get a load of his idea that if we just understood the Jihadis a little better, all would be well.

As much as I hate the GOPe Ravanel is much left of the Pauls?most culture
Id be wary

He could be the new Wilbur Mills......

I share his love of southern women though

But what about marriage hoss

[Din Maker]

A Rand Paul type dude; huh?

I am sure cameras will be following Ravenal for his TV show. This is a made for reality television campaign.

[Din Maker]

No, I’m in Texas, but I’ve got friends in Myrtle Beach. I love visiting there. I’m pulling for Ravenel in the SC race. Any enemy of Lindsey Graham is my friend.

[Din Maker]

I believe in traditional marriage. Maybe someday, Ravenel will settle down and marry a lovely lady. Same goes for Lindsey Graham. Maybe he will find his lifetime-dude and marry him some day.

Graham is worse than Thomas to me

Even though I don’t know all particulars from his bust it sounds like he got railroaded if he was only buying toot for his parties...

I take it GOPe is his enemy
