Attention all SC-2 district citizens: March 2014 is the deadline to file for the June 10 primary challenges against US Rep Joe Wilson and LCSD Sheriff Metts.
Tim Scott is “Black Mr Ed”. Teeeeeths.
Another Liberal unearthed!
Is that you Willlllbur?
Racist.

Tim Scott has proven to be a rock solid conservative. He is also a great guy, one on one. He has my complete support alone with whoever emerges against Grahamnasty (?)SC. Also Leon Wynn in the 6th. dist.We have the opportunity in 2014 to fix several problems in SC let’s not blow it.
Last time two black men ran against each other for a US Senate race? That’s easy. 2004 – Alan Keyes v Barack Obama, Illinois
Wow…”a senior post in Barack Obama’s U.S. Commerce Department.” Now THERE’s a qualification for ya…
Pro Tip:
Rick Wade should run against Lindsey Graham.
Yes, but that would see him face party discipline for daring to run against one of their own…
I hope and pray we do not lose Tim Scott.
Scott will beat that monkey like a rented mule.
All this man has to do is ONE ….thing. JUST one….! Tim Scott’s time on the Charleston County Council that led up to the BOEING 900 Million “stuffle” can sink the entire “house of cards”.
Mixing metaphors here – That dog would blow up in his face!
Phil, Phil, look at me Phil. Do you really believe that?
At the press conference where he threw his considerable weight (from the rocks in his head) to supporting Wade, Vice President Joe Biden was heard to say, “…”I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American from South Carolina who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy….I mean, that’s a storybook, man…hell it could be a lot worse, Ol’Enos could have decided to run for the seat.”.
One of Wade’s claims to fame is his relationship with Green Tech Automotive – a company that exists solely to suck down as much gubamint money as possible a la Solyndra. He wasn’t terribly well though of at PGBA (a Blue Cross gubamint accounts subsidiary – PGBA, pronounced pig ba stands for Palmetto Gubamint Benefits Administrators. PGBA was at one time was the largest Medicare contractor). In fact most of his “corporate” experience is in the gubamint programs sector.
I’m going to agree with the sentiment that this is likely a Democratic ploy to drive up AA votes in the mid-term. And its probably the only decent strategy the party has had since 1994- I give them no credit for letting Beasley implode in 1998. I’m sure he’ll get a golden handshake as we walks off-stage after his concession speech.
A man who has never held elective office is a credible nominee? Please. Sen. Scott has deep roots in SC, if anything, Scott will win 30% of the black vote and that’s a landslide for a Republican. Is this guy that nobody has heard of going to SC conservative voters opposing traditional marriage and supporting abortion and obamacare? Please.
There is no such thing as a credible heavy weight dem candidate in SC Period – and I am a huge democrat…
Tim Scott is the best Senator for SC. We need him and we need Bill Conner it is time for Grahamnasty to go. Enough is enough of him he is not what SC needs.
