I don’t believe he was a member of the Freedom Caucus while he was up in Washington. No more Rinos….
Thank You!
Ralph Norman has been a member of the Congressional Freedom Caucus for 8 years. He is currently Vice Chair of the Congressional Freedom Caucus. He has a 98% lifetime conservative voting record per CPAC. You seem to have him confused with someone else. Ralph Norman fights the RINOs. He is hated by the RINO establishment. He is the only Freedom Caucus member running for Governor. His voting record is far more conservative than Nancy Mace’s (apples to apples). While Sen. Kimbrell is a solid conservative, his record is only 85% (about 13 points less than Norman albeit not apples to apples as it’s federal vs. state). Evette seems like a nice lady, but has been part of the “do very little” McMaster Administration. We have on way to know how reliable she would be. And Alan Wilson has been solid as AG, but he is definitely part of the Establishment and he will not stand up to the RINOs in the legislature any more than McMaster has.
“When I’m governor we’ll let the people vote on judges.”
1. This will never happen because the legislature will not give up their power on this. This selection method is in the South Carolina Constitution and would require an amendment to change. Any amendment to the Constitution starts with the legislature.
2. This is a stupid idea. Judges should not be popularly elected. Look at the idiots that get elected for other positions.
So, you think those elected idiots choosing our judges somehow makes for a better situation? How so?
I do think our current system ensures a better cadre of judges. There is an intense screening process with regards to all aspects of their personal and professional life. SLED does an investigation. If someone has skeletons in their closet, they are found. Furthermore, each candidate has to go through multiple screening committees through the Bar and the legislature. Because each candidate only has to convince the members of the General Assembly to vote for them, money is not an issue. Judicial candidates are not soliciting donations from individuals or corporations who have an interest before the court. In popular elections, campaigning would be a race to the bottom. Whoever could appease the base would win instead of electing judges who might ensure that justice actually takes place. Sometimes judges have to make decisions that not popular but are right. Judging should not be a popularity contest.
Agreed. the fact that Norman said this either means he doesn’t even know what the law is on this, or he does, but says it anyway because he has contempt for the intelligence of the SC voter and thinks they will eat it up. Whenever any politician promises to do something that they ae legally powerless to achieve without changing the constitution, I am immediately suspect of them.
Here is what the public wants to know Norman:
1. Have you ever taken monies from counties, cities or the state for your personal development projects?
2. Have you ever asked someone else associated with government to provide funding for your development projects so you would not have to?
3. After years of public service in the SC House or DC, why have you not passed 1 bill?
4. Why do you associate yourself with the SC Freedom Caucus who has proven to care more about furthering their own political careers than governing?
5. Do you condemn the SC Freedom Caucus, Pace and Cromer, for protecting RJ May and stating he was an upstanding member during an investigation for CSAM?
6. Do you condemn Rep. April Cromer for her hypocrisy of hiring illegal aliens while condemning them publicly?
7. Did you really call Trump on January 6th and ask him to enforce Marshall law?
We are waiting on your response and evidence to back it up.
7. Do you support infrastructure building now even though you have voted against it every time? Did you vote against the 2017 roads and bridges bill? Why? What alternative did you propose?
Those are all RINO lies and misrepresentations. Ralph Norman has a 98% lifetime conservative voting record over 9 years in DC. Anyone that stays 98% conservative in the DC swamp is exactly who I want as Governor. He will govern like Trump and DeSantis. We will defeat you RINOs and get our Republican Party in SC back from your corrupt control.
Dear Conservative Tom,
We need real leadership like Carroll Campbell and Henry McMaster. Ralphie ain’t it. You even stated his voting record which is the easy part. Just say no, no, no. You don’t have to propose solutions, just say no. It’s pure cowardice. We need a leader with vision. The only vision in Norman’s head is his ego. Show the evidence of what he has accomplished- not votes. That’s easy. What has he accomplished? I’ll help- NOTHING!
