Bob Conley: A Good Choice on Tuesday
Bob Conley is a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate in Tuesday’s Primary Election. He is facing political newcomer Michael Cone for the Democratic nomination, but if he wins he may be a recipe for success in November for the Democratic Party.
Lindsey Graham has miffed many a Republican in South Carolina. That’s putting it lightly. Despite that, I think he is going to pull through Tuesday’s primary because he has out raised his opponent, Buddy Witherspoon, by about a 20 to 1 margin and Witherspoon has been coming off a little weird lately, with his whole North American Union thing. I am going to vote for Witherspoon on Tuesday anyway because I want Lindsey gone, but if he prevails I’m going with Bob Conley in November. On the issues:
- Conley wants energy independence and is a supporter of alternative fuel sources. This should have begun a decade ago, but better late than never. He gets a star on that one from me.
- He wants us to end the occupation in Iraq immediately. That’s another star.
- Conley wants our borders secured and corporations stiffly punished for hiring illegal aliens. Another star.
- Conley opposes trade agreements that have caused the outsourcing of American jobs, the loss of manufacturing jobs, and supports ending favored nation status with Communist China. That’s another star.
- End Wall Street bail outs! Woohoo!
- Repeal the Big Brother legislation the Bush Administration has forced on us in the name of “security.” That’s a big star.
- And according to the Beaufort Gazette, Conley supported Ron Paul in the Presidential Primary. That’s five stars!
Conley is the kind of Democrat that can win statewide in a southern state. He is an old school, conservative Democrat who understands how to effectively represent his would be constituents. He is not promoting a radical left wing extremist agenda like so many in the Democratic Party today. I will gladly choose him over Lindsey Graham and I bet quite a few others will follow suit if he gets his message out.
So aim high with Bob on Tuesday!
I would vote for Donald Duck if it would get rid of Lindsey Graham…
Supposedly there is going to be a recount on Conley’s “win”. I hope he proves to be the nominee.
Enough of Grahamnesty! I’ll vote against him.
Bob Conley represents a return to an America that is secure both physically and economically.
We did fine without illegal aliens and excessive legal immigration in the past.
We did fine when our industries were protected within reason from cheap, foreign (virtually slave) labor.
We did fine when we actually enforced the laws on the books regarding illegal entry into this country. There’d have been no 9/11 if visas had been better monitored for overstays and suspicious activity and, from the beginning, had been few and far between.
We did fine when we didn’t have the Department of Homeland Security/Gestapo (Strangely enough, Chertoff has virtually unlimited power when it comes to everything but actually sealing off the borders and securing the ports.)
Bob Conley sounds like the kind of Democrat who can help move my party back in the direction of being the voice for working familes. Conley would certainly do more for the people of South Carolina than big business-controlled Lindsay Graham.
