South Carolina State Republican Party Chairwoman Karen Floyd and Patrick Hadden kissed and made up with Harry Kibler and the SC Tea Party!
Harry Kibler, a spokesman for the Upstate Coalition of Conservative Organizations, said, "We are all interested in the same goal — a more conservative South Carolina.
While we may not always agree on how to meet that goal, we think this agreement is a start," he added. "Having our groups work together will be of great benefit to the Republican Party and the state of South Carolina."


The tea party movement is strong in South Carolina, where dozens of groups have hosted well-attended rallies. South Carolina GOP Gov. Mark Sanford was one of the movements darlings and attended some of the states tax day protests.

This will be bad news is so. It's like why in the hell is supposed teaparty supporters running against Ron Paul in the primary? Are you F'n kidding me? The republican name is MUD right now so their attempt to fix it is to create a proxy which is not the "teaparty" movement which will ultimately be controlled by the republican party. This is not good boys and girls. We need to keep our eyes open because the republican party has a hell of a lot more resources and money to take over the teaparty's than the other way around.

For immediate Release:

Greenville County Republican Party Leader meets with Coalition Group Leaders

The GCRP Chairman met with more than a dozen state Tea Party / Liberty group Leaders.

Greenville, SC, February 2, 2010

After unveiling a plan to implement a Tea Party Republican organization and receiving feedback from the Upstate Coalition of Conservative Organizations the Greenville County GOP changed direction out of respect for the Coalition. Embarking on the most crucial election cycles in recent history and seeing the vast importance of working together the Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party met with more than a dozen Tea Party/Liberty Group Leaders on Sunday afternoon to come together in a strategy session to decide the future of their relationship.

"This was a very successful meeting of true conservatives and true patriots. When both organizations work toward a common goal you have a winning strategy that will affect the country for the best and that will win elections. Said Patrick Haddon, Chairman of the Greenville County Republican Party

Both Sides walked away from the meeting agreeing that the Tea Party movement should stay independent from any party and should continue their movement. They also agreed that the GOP will not implement a Tea Party Republican organization. We believe that this will stir the hearts of the American people and force those Republicans that do not stand on and vote for conservative principles to reflect on the energy and distrust the people have against them. These groups commented that they will vote Conservative, but will not vote for those that do not hold dear the Tea Party Principles.

Both sides came to the table with concerns but at the end of the meeting misunderstandings were dispelled and both sides were eager to cooperate with one another to meet their ultimate goals.

"We are encouraged with the outcome of the meeting and believe that adhering to this agreement will benefit the Republican Party as well as our State by moving toward more conservative representation of the citizens of South Carolina." Said Harry Kibler spokesman for the Upstate Coalition of Conservative Organizations

Both sides left the meeting encouraged and excited about things to come for both groups and believe this can be the standard for all Republican and Coalition Organizations around the state and country.

"We are excited about the future of our relationship to meet the goals from both sides understanding that we both need each other to make real change for the country." Said Patrick Haddon

A press conference is planned for next week at the Greenville County Republican Headquarters located at 850 Wade Hampton Blvd. the time and date will be announced soon. At the press conference everyone involved will speak in more detail about the relationship.
