All four GOP candidates for Governor of SC are scared of Lindsey Graham

As the tea party movement gains more momentum and Americans grow more disgusted with their representatives, Democrat and Republican. This has led to three South Carolina counties to vote to censure South Carolina’s senior senator. The Greenville, Charleston and Lexington county Republican Parties have all voted to censure Graham on his unpopular votes on cap and trade, illegal immigration, and the banker bailout bill. It is well documented in many polls that the majority of South Carolinians and Americans oppose cap and trade, amnesty for illegals, and over 70% opposed the banker bailout and 90 to 1 phone calls which has now placed Timothy Geithner and Henry Paulson facing possible criminal charges, with their direct involvement in bailing out themselves and hiding what AIG received.

Lindsey Graham is an admitted globalist. He has supported amnesty for illegals, man made climate change legislation, the bipartisan occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, and is now calling for military action against Iran even before they have nuclear capabilities. Lindsey Graham is widely unpopular in South Carolina but due to the constraints of the left right paradigm Graham was recently reelected due to the lesser of two evils concept most southerners subscribe to with the two party system and lack of third party candidates. According to the Greenville News Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop said Graham was encouraging the citizens to “join the fight against the radical agenda of President Obama and Democrats in Congress”. This is a flat out lie and insult as Rep. Graham has openly stated time and time again he supports President Obama on many issues. In addition Rep. Graham has gone out of his way to insult and incite Rep. Ron Paul and his supporters. He has not supported any of the tea party movements and considers them a fringe extremist movement.

It would seem with populist opinion against Rep. Graham that someone in the bunch running for Governor would side with the people and polls and support the censure of Graham. However that is not the case. Rep. Gresham Barrett is more understandable considering he also voted for the banker bailout and was booed off the stage at the Greenville SC tea party for that vote. However Barrett is the only one to apologize for his vote and admit it was wrong. Rep Bob Inglis and Rep. Lindsey Graham have both stated numerous times when confronted they would vote for it again despite 70% of people polled were against it. They both stated they believed the world would fall into total chaos if the bankers were not given a blank check by congress under the threat of martial law from none other than Henry Paulson. South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster also said according to the Greenville News that he does not support the censure either. The two others hoping to win the GOP nomination, Rep. Nikki Haley and Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer both refused to answer the question to the Greenville News. McMaster said in a statement “all things considered, Lindsey Graham is a nationally respected champion for freedom and a strong leader for the Republican Party”.

This is a clear example of why the two party system is a fraud. It is glaringly obvious that these two parties are controlled not by the people but by other interests and “good ole boy” politics. It makes no sense why one of these candidates would not speak out against Rep. Grahams actions against the people and Constitution and gain populist support. The other three candidates gave similar statements about growing the party and everyone being on the same team. Well its obvious this team does not support the wishes of the people of the state of South Carolina. These candidates know the people truly have no choice unless viable third party candidates are given the same platform as they have.

The question is what power does Lindsey Graham have over these 4 candidates in the state. We the people can only hope one of these candidates will at the very least speak out about Senator Graham’s globalist policies. We need to apply pressure to these candidates on these issues.
