Thomas Ravenel Launches New TV Ad

By FITSNEWS || Ummm … where’s the music? Isn’t there always supposed to be moving, orchestral music wafting through the background of these spots? More to the point … wasn’t Thomas Ravenel supposed to be an anti-interventionist?  But now he’s “fighting for our (military) bases?” Yeah … Is anybody else…

By FITSNEWS || Ummm … where’s the music? Isn’t there always supposed to be moving, orchestral music wafting through the background of these spots?

More to the point … wasn’t Thomas Ravenel supposed to be an anti-interventionist?  But now he’s “fighting for our (military) bases?”

Yeah …

Is anybody else confused here? Oh well … it matters not.

Not everybody thinks Ravenel is flip-flopping, though.  One state lawmaker we spoke with defended his spot.

“Strengthening our military and not intervening are not mutually exclusive,” the lawmaker told us.  “I don’t see the flip.”

Guess it’s all a matter of emphasis …

“In South Carolina, (advocating for military bases) is huge,” the lawmaker added.  “I immediately thought Shaw Air Force base – which is always being threatened.”

Just who I wanted lessons in “moral obligations” from – a drug dealing, drunk driving, FEC regulation violating, “baby daddy” and “reality” “TV star”. Yeah, that’s who I want advising me on moral obligations.

Dear Colonel………

According to the “Art of War” …….you do realize the value in having a …” a drug dealing, drunk driving, FEC regulation violating, “baby daddy” and “reality” “TV star”…” being observed in the enemies camp. Do you not..?

Al Franken got elected to the Senate because he SMILED to get a vote; but look just at WHO is smiling now..? When is the last time you heard Al crack a joke about ISIS anywhere..?

We highly wager that Ravenel has a better understanding of OIL Slavery when looking into his babies eyes than Graham does looking into ISIS’s eyes..!!

Do I wish there was someone better than Hutto and Graham and Ravenel and the Libertarian…….YEP..!

Ravenel has the most legacy to “atone”……..and that is a lot of “historical wisdom” to leverage upon. (…at least the most in the field…)

Graham and Hutto are both more “War for Oil”…….

I am willing to give Mr Ravenel a shot since for ever we have given all these squeaky clean perfect people that are not real.
And for the record.my ancestors owned slaves until the end of the war of Northern aggression and I don’t have any trouble sleeping at night.

Who knows – for the record I do most of my spouting off on my kindle fire while on a seemingly never ending series of conference calls and staff meetings. It’s amazing how easy it is to look like you’re taking notes…

Oh, the network I use belongs to the coop so that’s not an issue either.

Our combat vehicles do have a form of text messaging as a part of FBCB2 or Blue Force Tracker.

Who’s recording?

“It’s amazing how easy it is to look like you’re taking notes”

Gubamint efficiency at its finest. Carry on.

The Colonel October 9, 2014 at 8:48 pm

If you wanted efficiency you wouldn’t have staff meetings and conference calls. Particularly those staff meetings everyone attends but the agenda only addresses one (not your) area.

I ? the NSA October 9, 2014 at 8:49 pm

Exactly. Either way, it’s a losing proposition.

Better than a liar , liberal appeaser, war monger, back stabber to the people of SC that hides behind the (R). Since we do not have a real Republican to vote for in that race I will have to vote for the next best alternative . T Rav.

The Colonel October 9, 2014 at 8:27 pm

Hutto would be a better choice than Ravenel and he might even manage to do his entire term without getting arrested.

Reply

T Rav would caucus with the Republicans thereby adding to our numbers. Hutto is a Dim.

Reply
The Colonel October 9, 2014 at 10:23 pm

Who knows what his drug addled brain would do once he got into office? We’d almost be better electing Hutto, T-Rav or Graham and then hoping for a bus to run over then.

RogueElephant October 9, 2014 at 10:30 pm

The bus sounds good but use a train to make sure. LOL Good night.

Mike at the Beach October 9, 2014 at 10:37 pm

Again, I respectfully disagree and remind you that your logic and position are flawed. If those are the bases on which you oppose Graham, then you would have to likewise oppose TR. He is a proven liar, just turned into a a pro-military hawk (like, yesterday evidently), and he “hid behind the “R” to get elected Treasurer (when he was, in fat, a pro-dope libertarian). He’s a convicted felon (not an imaginary one), and would be hard pressed to find anyone willing to even sit next to him on the Senate train, much less co-sponsor legislation or work together. Had be broken out of 5%-ville and somehow gotten elected, the primary result would have been that (once again) SC makes all the national papers, but not in a good way. If everyone had jumped on Hutto’s campaign, he would have had a chance; a slim one, but a chance nonetheless.

Are you for him or against him today, Will? This is not clear. Did you have a “dust-up” that’s all over now — or a major falling out? If it was the former, when will the love kick in again? Holy shit, man, this is so confusing I can’t even get a good handle on how to be snarky about it.

Meanwhile, T-Rav is developing those over-large “old man ears” now, and no doubt needs to keep them plucked regularly, so as not to develop the “old-man-ear-hair ear-muffs” syndrome. I know whereof I speak on this, as I am ancient and then some, myself, and own a mirror. His wonder-boy-charmer days are spent, middle-age-crazy-time soon will be gone bye-bye as well. Then what is left for him? Doddering & Drooling time, and Sanford/Leatherman-level incontinence, sans their Seats of Power in which to fill his Depends. That’s what.

You are not going to let yer bud go pitiful into that good night, are ya, Will?

……You do realize you have a …”..BRIDGE “………do you not…?

Maybe you need to read “Midnight in Garden of Graham and OIL”……..and take a stroll on the Ravenel Bridge and think about what YOU do NOT see…?

You know what they say, the hotter the affair, the messier the crash. This is a full-on train wreck.

The anti sentiment Graham vote is so strong its going to put him right back in the Senate.
Half a dozen ran and the anti-Graham in the primary splitting the opposition to meaninglessness. if only a single candidate has opposed him PACs would have gotten involved and momentum could have been built on a solid candidate.
Now three others are running against Graham in the general election – again effectively splitting the anti Graham vote. With no cohesion, no single opponent, no momentum, Graham will clearly win again.
A very few S. Carolinians want Graham as their Senator – but he opposition is so “I want to beat him. No I DO!, I want to even more!” that Graham is going to waltz right back into the Senate Chambers.
