State Senator Lee Bright is personally challenging establishment incumbent Lindsey Graham to a debate, and Thursday night in Columbia, the challenger will debate a YouTube version of Graham at the South Carolina Troopers Association, located at 4961 Broad River Road, at 7:00pm. Columbia Tea Party Chair Jack Hatfield will moderate.
“Senator Lindsey Graham might have been able to avoid his angry constituents during the August recess by staying away from South Carolina, but Graham’s words and actions did not go unnoticed – and they will not go unopposed,” says Bright, a Tea Party and liberty group favorite from Spartanburg.
“By ignoring constituents so he and John McCain could community organize for the Muslim Brotherhood, Graham has snubbed the voters” said Bright, “Yesterday, he and McCain were up in Barack Obama’s office plotting how they can ram through Obama’s failed foreign policy strategy.” Bright is also focusing on Graham’s domestic agenda, stating that “a few weeks ago Graham called efforts by Ted Cruz and Mike Lee to defund Obama Care a ‘bridge too far.’ We rejected Obama liberalism strongly twice in South Carolina, and yet we have a Senator who is constantly trying to support that agenda.”
“I guess we’ll just deal with Lindsey’s greatest hits” said Edmund Wright, a spokesman for Bright’s campaign. “The only bridge too far is Graham, who’s a bridge way too far to the left. He’s always stretching to reach agreement with people like Obama, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer, which is not what he was elected to do.”
“This debate will be a great opportunity for people to see how Mr. Graham does not line up with conservative principles, since we’ll put his own statements on display,” Bright said. “I’m looking forward to contrasting my conservative principles and voting record with someone who has strayed from our values for far too long.”

Bright further added, “Durrrrrr, Lindsee n Buhruck Obmuslimface worshup Alla. DURRRRR.” Asked to respond, Nancy Mace noted that, “As the first—FIRST—woman to graduate from The Citadel, I agree with the Constitution and um like whatever Ted Cruz thinks.”
Dear lord, this state is screwed.
How should a Tara “Servacious” and Nancy Mace “play-by-play” be used to do what to Bright and Graham at the same time..? How would Fits News cover the “Play-by-play” to ask Lin Bennett about seating arrangements at this Bright debate..?
Graham cannot gain anything by being on any stage with any of the supposed contenders. The contenders will stick their necks out trying to out do each other believing there will be a run off with Graham. He will patiently take notes and use errors to his advantage closer to primary time or may even wait until the run off.
I would like to see Graham defeated. The only way is for ALL contenders to go against Graham rather than each other. If the reason they are running is to unseat Graham they need to leave each other alone. Each picks a topic they are particularly strong in and hammer Graham on that, repeatedly. Hit him on that point so much he has to respond. Each of them do that so he has to fight four (or however many there are) contenders for any dirt to come out and they can do damage to his image of invincibility. Fight each other Graham wins; fight Graham he loses, how bad do you really want him gone? Or are you really seeking the power and prestige or yourself?
That Lee < Bright ! "More guts than an empty chair !"
Walk all over the YouTubeLinseyG.
SC will elect an idiot for Governor and for the US House. SC will not elect an idiot for the US Senate. That, thank God, is where we draw the line.
How quickly we forget DeMint.
Dear Lee Bright…..
Bubba, just how smart are you? Ya know, if this type of debate is the best that you can do; then, what type of Senator are you going to make..? Really Lee…?
Just think for a moment, what type of press is this getting so far? The Post and Courier is really gung ho for you.
Ya know Lee, are you just counting your campaign dollars to get a thumbs up from Lin Bennett.
We wonder if you would ever consider asking Wil Folks who he would get to be this debate “moderator”. How about Smirks or Big (T) or Mrs Amy Lazenby..?
Mr. Bright, if you really want to win against Nancy Mace, then do you not think that you would love to get questions from some of “her” foot soldiers..? Clearly, it is evident that YOU are not doing what it takes to win the hearts and minds….anywhere..?
I don’t want to moderate debates, but I’d pay good money to see BigT do it.
I don’t want you to moderate either……….I honestly believe YOU know how to add fuel to the fire that burns all candidates in the debate…
Have the debate in a honky tonk, with beer, where the people in the audience would call out questions, no prepared remarks. Every seat would be a ring side seat. Have actual debates not dueling sound bites.
Well at least this will be the closet Lindsey Graham has been in SC since the recess started. Props to Lee Bright!
Well at least this will be the closest Lindsey Graham has been to South Carolina since the recess. Props to Bright!
They were afraid to debate the card board cut out.
Will this be aired live over the internet?
Freedom Works has the ability to stream this live over the internet because they streamed the Myrtle Beach broadcast live with Lee and Richard.
Think about how this is NOT being promoted……..really think. How should it be turned into a game to get citizens to “wager”..? …and learn at the same time..?
