We can dump Lindsey Graham. it's easy. Here's how we do it.

We have to run 3 CAMPAIGNS!

OK. Next Time Lindsey Graham is up for reelection, we need a prominent big race to run against him in the Republican Primary. Somebody who'll attack him mercilessly for all his big government, fascist policies. While, such an insurgent campaign won't win the Republican Primary, it will beat Graham up pretty good.

Then we Recruit Bob Conley to run against him again in the general. If this is done right, the insurgent Republican who took him on in the Primary could even endorse the Democrat. (or a third party candidate if that makes more sense.)

We also make sure we have a strong Libertarian or Constitution candidate running. If a highly publicized third party can take 8%. Especially if many Republicans are disgruntled after a bitter Primary with our guy pointing out all the reason's why Graham isn't conservative, I think we could get Bob Conaly in office.

This would be very expensive. Connaly, our Republican contestant, and the 3rd party candidate would all need to be heavily funded. But if we can force Graham to feel some pain and spend a bunch of his money in the primary -- and then flank him on both sides with a 3rd party spoiler, and a Ron Paul Democrat -- we could do this.

I think Graham still won by a pretty big margin despite everyone hating him in the last election.

The only way to beat Graham is in the primary more than likely in my opinion. The only reason he is even still around is because he gets votes because people don't want to vote for a democrat, and therefore see him as their only option.

I would be all for supporting a candidate to run against him in the primary though. The candidate would stand a very good chance of winning if they were well funded.

We could always do what teenagers do in movies to get back at people. Send a bunch of sluty dressed Hookers to his house and take some pictures hahaha. Send them to Fox news so they can discuss it with a questionmark like its a fact, but there asking a question. Does Linsey Graham have sex with hookers?

I'm all for this. I'd love to see legitimate challanges to both Graham and McConnell in 2014.

We would spend so much we would be forced to defund other campaigns that support our ideals.

The vote in South Carolina largely fell along party lines. Want to have a fighting chance? Fight to get rid of the straight ticket device or 40% of the votes will be locked in place from the get-go. The small amount of Republicans who defected was probably traded-off with the small amount of Democrats who defected.

There was a primary challenge to Graham who was a Ron Paul Republican- they got crushed.

The military-industrial complex, i.e. the war machine, is very influential in SC. Keep this fact in mind when fielding a candidate there.

Too late man...the time to dump Graham was last year. Did you send Bob Conley a donation like I did? The economy should have collapsed by 2014.

When was this? I was only aware of Bob Connely running against him in the General as a Democrat.

Um. If you read my whole post, you would SEE that I spoke about Conally helping us in 2014. I'm well aware of his run last year.
