Sen. Bright from Spartanburg will probably announce after the SC-1 circus is over.

Start organizing. This will be the fight of your life.

We’re relying on you and your friends.

Pansey Graham has had his McCainleash yanked, so he will sit down and shut up like the good little mutt he is.

Of the two, I’d much prefer Trey Gowdy. Joe Wilson is too wishy washy, go along to get along or me.

The nation thanks the voters of South Carolina for sending this gentleman to the Senate.

May you soon show up to the polls, and sober this next time.

Thank you for the link. I wrote him. I hope every person that reads here, will do the same. Lindsey assumes that we are all extremists; we are only patriots who love our country and of how it was set up. Imo, that bill does not need to be brought to the floor under no circumstances so the dems cannot get something passed (with the media’s help- that is exactly what will take place- the dems in turn come back and modify, modify, modify..)Lindsey says the media helps Obama with his agenda. Like he is not doing that! The others who are standing firm are doing right on this issue. These guys and gals who side with the dems are just sell outs to the constitution.

One suspects that Graham - as well as McCain - are against the filibuster is that it may prevent them from their style of debating: Immediately crossing the aisle and surrendering.

This is another example of how the GOP cannot get its act together and unify around a message like the Democrats do.

There is NO party discipline in the GOP. There never has been.

All they are good at doing is undermining each other again and again and again.

Harry Reid has made a habit out of filing for cloture at the same time he files a bill. That means 30 hours of debate. That means a vote THE NEXT DAY!!!

This isn’t the old days when important issues were debated for weeks. The senate has a million roll call votes that vote for nothing, they work on the floor about 40 days a year and yet “there isn’t time” for an extended debate.

A filibuster is the ONLY way that anybody would be able to talk extensively on an issue.

Lispy, the whole POINT of the filibuster is to force some dialogue on the subject. God knows you and your BFF, Capt. RINO McQueeg won’t sufficiently force the important issues... specifically the chilling effect on the 2nd Amendment... into the open.

I’m really starting to wish that I’d maintained SC residency when I left the state to go to pharmacy school. Voting against Linda in the primary would be a privilege.

I did not believe that he would. If he did, obama would cut him off.

Neither will run or challenge him. It will be Lee Bright or someone else from the assembly or senate.

"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive."

Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787)

He wants this debate?
He’s never won a debate in his life.

Pee Wee Herman got caught in that theater.
