EDISTO, S.C. – Lowcountry businessman and independent U.S. Senate candidate Thomas Ravenel issued the following statement today regarding polling data released by The (Charleston, S.C.) Post and Courier  and several television stations.

“Like John Paul Jones said, ‘I have not yet begun to fight,'” Ravenel said. “I’m at ten percent and haven’t spent a dime getting my message out. By contrast Lindsey Graham has spent $5 million getting his message out in the last few months and his approval rating is only 39 percent. Meanwhile 44 percent disapprove of his performance – a number that’s only going to climb as people start realizing that he’s serving Washington’s interests, not their interests. No one has ever seriously challenged him – he’s never had to defend his votes for unnecessary wars, unnecessary government, anti-competitive tax hikes or liberal Supreme Court justices. I’m not only going to hold him accountable for those votes – I’m going to offer people a competing vision for the direction of this country. They don’t have to choose between the warfare state or the welfare state anymore. My campaign is going to give them a real choice.”

Ravenel reiterated he is willing to spend “whatever it takes” to highlight the contrast between Graham’s left-leaning record and his own conservative policies.

“I’m at ten percent and haven’t spent MY DIME BAG getting my message out.”

I felt compelled to edit his statement for clarity in response to your comment.

A more appropriate slogan for Mr Ravenel might be that of another naval hero, Oliver Hazard Perry, as slightly edited by cartoonist Al Capp: “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

Not Al Capp, but Walt Kelly’s Pogo

Thanks, you are right–for some reason I was thinking Al Capp authored Pogo, although Lil Abner did have some good lines.

Speaking of “lines”, Thomas Ravenel has had some experience there also.

Smart move Junior. Just wait until late in the game and then really get after the sitting Senator. Maybe you will catch him and his machine off-guard. Yes sir, a real ambush. Great tactic. Did you think that one up all by yourself?

Tip for Tommy: don’t wear those white skinny jeans when you are on your period. It could get ugly.

Have you seen him lately, every pair of jeans he has look like skinny jeans. I think he laid down the coke and picked up the Twinkies.

Geez. A coke head fornicator felon who has fathered an illegitimate, but cute, kid and who renounced his American citizenship in a poor litlle rich boy hissy fit has cribbed a quote from a real hero of the American Revolution. I see that going places.

If he is willing to spend whatever it takes, why hasn’t he spent a dime?

What? And spend his own money? Won’t happen. Remember, he’s entitled because he is T Rav.

“…Like John Paul Jones said, ‘I have not yet begun to fight,’” Ravenel said. “I’m at ten percent and haven’t spent a dime getting my message out…”

Ravenel’s original message went on to say – “…Unlike John Paul Jones however, I’m a moral coward, a near pedophilic misogynistic baby daddy, a convicted drug dealer and election law violator who occasionally goes for a ride while shitfaced but hey, I do have a boat!

The fight probably starts before noon, and there’s no way he’s getting up that early.

Graham Is A Proven Psychopath July 25, 2014 at 1:39 pm

Graham sure has provide plenty of shells for the sinking of his own homosexual ship. That can never be refuted. Graham’s psychosis is much much worst than I first thought.
Rumors now floating that Graham had sex with his sister. They apparently must be coming out of the town he lives in.

T-Rav – hit him on the illegal immigrant stuff. That seems to get people all frothed up. Then when you’re a Seantor you can flip-flop and support amnesty.

T-Rav knocked up that little girl and now he wants to run for public office as a Republican!
He musrt think he is Sanford, Peeler, or Eckstrom.
He’s a felon! may think he is Ard, Sharp, Harrell!

Our Funding Editor authorized a humorous response to this latest silly release from t-bone. But, soooo many posts have blasted his latest cr@p, that it’s pointless.

sic(k) willie needs to keep in mind that all he can hope for is a cameo on season 2 of t-bone’s ridiculous TV show.

Oh my word! Most of these comments are really funny – no, hilarious! But I wish you all would stop all that hating on my boy, T-Rav! Okay?
I mean – he partied – he partied some more – it was snowing in Charleston – he got caught – he paid for it – he got himself a reality show – he hooked up with a red-headed sort of skanky looking girl – the rubber had at least one hole in it – he got said skanky girl preggars – he named the baby a good, long, low-country, high-brow name – he got him a “good” PR guy who has a blog – he’s running again – can’t we all just agree to give my boy T-Rav a second chance? It’s guaranteed to be fun – a lot more fun than the campaigns of all the dismal R-After-Their-Names. So please don’t hate – just donate!

The story of Captain t-Bone-Rav and Bambi:

Captain t-Bone-Rav takes command of the Good Ship Teabugger.

As he steps up, he shouts, “I have not yet begun to fight…”
…against U.S.S. Lindsey Graham!”

His childishly, cute, petite 20 year-old first mate, Bambi,
shouts…

“Captain t-Bone, the good ship U.S.S. Lindsey Graham is on the horizon
coming for battle!”

“Great,” replies t-Bone, “BRING ME MY RED SHIRT!”

“Why a RED SHIRT?,” asked childishly, cute, petite 20 year
old Bambi?

“Because, if I am wounded my blood will not show,” responded t-Bone. “And,
my misguided Tea-Buggers will not realize I am a total looser.”

Childishly, cute, petite 20 year old first mate Bambi thought for
a moment, and then said…

“…the U.S.S. Lindsey Graham has brazillions of dollars and brazillions
of voter support.”

Nervously, Captain t-Bone-Rav replied…

“…BRING ME MY BROWN PANTS!”

We would love to see Mr Folks report on the amount of radio and TV spots that Rav has reserved across our state….?

That would be Real ….reporting……..would it not?

We wonder if Rav has reached out to anyone on this site at all?
