watch Mulvaney’s financial report for the 4th Quarter, due out in January, to see if he’s getting significant money from contributors in the 5th District, a sign that some of the local moguls are beginning to rebel.

Two words: Joe. Wilson.

Now SC must somehow recall Lindsey Graham from office.

Heck yeah. Joe Wilson is right. I hope this SC Dem gets a whuppin.

Let’s hope the local moguls rebel against that POS RINO sissy Lindsay Graham-nesty.

He is like a much more sissified version of Ashley Wilkes (see Gone with The Wind) or a slightly butcher version of Scarlett with far less backbone.

Can’t recall a federal officeholder, it’s not permitted under the Constitution. Prior to the popular vote for a U.S. Senator, when they were elected by the legislature, if a Senator wasn’t following the dictates of the legislature’s preferences, they’d often be honor-bound (not legally binding) to resign and be replaced by someone who would follow the legislature’s instructions.

Spratt’s hearing aid defense is right up there with Gore’s “iced tea” defense. More here http://www.heraldonline.com/109/story/795160.html

Unfortunately, SC doesn't have recall.

He is one of the largest real estate developers in the area.

I have to wonder why the Pubs would put up another real estate developer against Spratt. The rural areas don't trust the big developers and that had a lot to do with Ralph Norman's loss to Spratt the last time.

Ralph Norman owns the Rock Hill end of the proposed Lancaster Hwy (Dave Lyle Blvd.) and Mulvaney owns the land on the other end. I believe that both are probably more interested in seeing this highway completed than representing South Carolinians.

NO state can recall a member of congress.

“The rural areas don’t trust the big developers”

Class warfare crap right out of the rat playbook.

“I believe that both are probably more interested in seeing this highway completed than representing South Carolinians.”

I bet Spratt is more interested in filling his fat face and lining his coffers with special interest money than representing South Carolinians.

Spot on Mitch.

I'm in SC-2, but contributed to Mulvaney’s campaign in SC-5.

The RNCC has shown an interest in this race through their ads, even though Spratt has a big lead in the money race. If Conservatives show their support for Conservative candidates, as they did for my congressman, Joe Wilson, they will continue to funnel money into this contest.

My hope is that Mulvaney gains support nationally, given that Pelosi’s agenda necessarily passes through House Budget Chairman Spratt’s committee.

Nancy is tied tightly around John Spratt’s neck. We need to make national Conservatives aware of the importance of this race.

I agree. There’s no reason that this race shouldn’t be in the national spotlight. Spratt has only skated by thanks to weak competition, and a national trend that hurt Ralph Norman in 2006.

Mitch:

Happy New Year to you and yours!

I would like to think that we could inform Freepers as to how important this race is for Conservatives. Do you have any ideas as to how we can let them weigh in on our “provincial” election ?

John Spratt has been flying under the radar for years, but now he is showing himself for what he really is, just another enabler for Nancy Pelosi and the leftists.

What this mouthpiece passes through his committee affects every American.

National Conservative voices need to be heard.
