With over six million dollars in the bank, much of it from outside lobbyists, Team Graham continues to whine in their fundraising solicitations about “outside money” used against them. This is backed up by a report from earlier this year that shows Graham received a larger percentage of his campaign funds from lobbyists and bundlers than any other member of either House of Congress, with Harry Reid second and Chuck Schumer third.
“Lindsey Graham is a creature of Washington, and all creatures of Washington have a lot of outside money at their disposal” said Bright, a Tea Party and liberty group favorite who is challenging Graham in 2014. “Our government is sucking the lifeblood out of the country, and while Lindsey Graham and almost everybody else in DC is doing well, people outside the beltway are hurting.”
“You can’t make that up,” said Bright of The Center for Public Integrity’s report lumping Graham, Reid and Schumer together. “And to think, he wasn’t even on the ballot in 2012, and yet – he’s such a beltway insider, and such a part of government’s theft of our liberties, that he still raked in the lobby cash.”
“My goal is to drive property values down in Washington,” said Bright, “which will drive values up everywhere else. Our government is way too big, too powerful and too invasive, and government is stealing the country. Graham is part of that problem. It’s time to retire him and start taking the nation back.”

Bright wants to drive down the property values in DC. I guess the Capital, White House, Smithsonian, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, SCOTUS building, etc. are valued too high by the real estate people and the tax assessor.
How many South Carolinians, “Tea Partiers” and “Patriots” would vote for this bastard if they knew he owes many people hundreds of thousands of dollars from his failed business?? Would they still vote for Mr. Run the Government Like A Business McGee? This idiot is as pathetic as the voters who elected him to the state senate
“Running a business into extreme debt” is probably considered street cred amongst congressmen.
It’s no secret all you have to do is mention war and certain US senators and representatives act like punch drunk prize fighters hearing a bell ring. Over the past few weeks we have seen Graham and McCain tripping over themselves in a mad dash to vote for another hastily thrown together resolution engaging our war weary military, into yet another unprovoked war.
These are the same neocons who assured us Iraq would be a
cakewalk and our soldiers would be greeted like conquering heros. 1.5 trillion dollars later and 5000 US soldiers laid to rest, these neocons still want more.
Graham knows prying oil and power from the grasp of an out of favor dictator is not for the faint of heart. This means the American public, once again, must be conned into believing a third world country, in a desolate part of the world, is a threat to our security.
In the case of Syrian rebels, the ones we are funding and Sen Graham has such respect for, we now know are actually made up of elements of al Qaeda. Imagine that, this country actually helping bring al Qaeda to power in Syria, which would have put Assad’s chemical WMD’s in the hands of those who were instrumental in bringing about 9-11. This is sheer lunacy!
I suspect Graham is feathering his nest for his post senatorial career as a weapons manufacture lobbyist.
I think Lindsey sees himself as more of the think tank type.
His buddy and bundler Mallory Factor’s Wiki page notes his involvement in some foreign policy stuff…which the articles in the Wiki footnotes say came his way after bundling for George W. Bush and being rewarded with appointments it looks like he has no more business being involved in than my dog.
And, remember where we first heard of Mallory? When Curtis Loftis got him involved in SCRS stuff and Mallory was calling SCRS investment companies and leading them to believe he was trying to cut a deal for himself and dropping Curtis’ name to grease it.
Actually, I think Lindsey sees himself being a senator ’til his dying day.
Well, considering how the stooges for the MACE, Bright and Graham campaign camps are all sipping from the same drool bucket, giving voters NO reason at all to even go to the polls is actually a smashing success.
We can only surmise that the MACE and BRIGHT camps have all been reading from the same “How to be a Senator” tattered paperback that was thrown out at the local landfill by the dim wits in the Graham campaign camp.
….at least we can see how recycling efforts have negative results.
uh boy……
