Well, we had Larry and Curly already listed as challengers, so why not a Moe?

YOU do not know Kevin Thomas. I know Kevin Thomas. And you are not only wrong, but beneath any more comment. Kevin Thomas is a great Gentleman, Senior Air Force Reserve NCO and a true Patriot.

OMG, Lindsey finally told the truth…he is NOT fit to serve in Congress. “If I have lied”…really Lindsey?

I’m really grateful he wants to serve the people of…hold on…I can’t stop laughing long enough to finish typing that.

Where do these people come from? I mean, how desperate for relevance do you have to be to hope to cruise into the US Senate, riding the wave of “momentum” you created through two failed bids for meaningless offices in-state? He’s approaching the hunger for taxpayer-subsidized ego fluffing of say, Andre Bauer. If you’re on the fence about whether SC is a corrupt backwater, the fact that Bill Connor’s name is EVER in a news source – much less in the context of running for public office- should be all the confirmation you need. I hate myself for not moving.

You can actually dispute part of his military service. When he was in law school and banging his classmate, his wife made him drop out so he would not continue to be in law school with her so his lover could finish a year ahead of time. So he took that year he had free from banging his lover and went active duty.

Don Quixote rides again! Hopefully not on a horse, though, in view of the extra pounds he’s packed on since he ran for Lite Gov. It appears that if Connor is elected to the Senate, the real looser could be Duke’s BBQ, not Lindsay Graham. Seriously, if he gains any more weight, he might want to run for Mayor of Toronto. They like ’em beefy up there, crack smoker or not. Bedeya bedeya bedeya, thats all Folks!

Talk to anyone who deployed with Conner. Although a ranger, he inflated his value in Afghanistan. For example, any insinuation that he was a valued assistant to Prince Harry is a lie. His ego makes him a dangerous leader and a political disaster once his lies are uncovered. Ive also heard he’s a bully, especially to his wife. In my opinion, a WORM!

Anyone who served with him refers to him as a REMF. As in his last election bid, no one who served under him will speak for him.
His “combat” service was a joke. He helicoptered in, caught the supply convoy back to base, fired his .45 into the air, and a master sergeant told him to sit down and STFU.

Obviously you were with him? Only problem with your story is that we haven’t carried .45s in about 20 years.

If Graham was called to active duty during a time of war, he would be considered a veteran of that war wherever he served. However, he would not be a veteran of foreign wars unless he served in the actual theater of operations.

Go after Senator Graham on the issues – warmongering, supporting stupid expenditures, just being a political pinhead in general but get off his record. It’s marginal, but he actually has worn a uniform in a combat zone which is more than 99% of the US population can say.

Egomaniac: A person whose ego exceeds both his intelligence and his capacity to see beyond his own personal interests. Dictionaries of the future will define “egomaniac” with a photograph of George W. Bush in a flight suit.

First it was the 2012 Republican primary for president, that fit quite a number of clowns. Then SC had its own clown car for SC-1, and they managed to squeeze even more clowns in. Just how big of a clown car are you asking for?!

That’s right knuckleheads…keep piling into that clown car. Drive it around a little, catch you a little spotlight. Get your name in the paper. Eventually you’ll all come crawling out of that back seat the same; as losers. If Sugarbritches was ever going to get whacked this was his year, but not by this crew.
