Which reminds me: How did SC allow Lindsay to be re-elected.
Obviously SC voters aren’t as obsessed with the issue of immigration as some here made them out to be.
We have a bunch of party hacks here.
Several weeks before the election, I got into a rather heated debate with another SC FReeper who was all about "party over principal". To this individual, it did not matter what a candidate's policies or record was, as long as they have an "R" by their name, we should support them.
I disagree, and said so until the other party's argument was reduced to insults and name calling.
Bob Conley was, in my opinion, far preferable to Lindsay Graham. But because the Democrats in SC are thrilled with Graham, (What does THAT tell you?) Conley couldn't get any support from his own party. Light in the loafers Lindsay had a warchest of 4.5 million, while Conley had almost enough to buy a pack of peanuts and a Coke to pour them in.
As far as I am concerned, the Republican party in SC is dead. We not only have Lindsay, but we have Bob Ingles (R(ino), and even Gresham Barrett (who voted FOR the "bailout").
It's no wonder that the Democrats aren't bothering to run serious candidates in SC. They are toppling the Republicans from within.
Oh, and don't forget the "maverick's" (barf) big win in SC helped put him over the top.
The Republican Party (as we knew it) is DEAD in SC.
Send flowers.
