South Carolina State Senator Tom Davis tweeting today about Ron Paul

[Pisces]

Check out his tweets today. He's saying all sorts of good things about Ron Paul and hinting at an endorsement. At least it seems to me that he is hinting at an endorsement.

He's the guy that the SC political experts have said would be one of the best SC endorsements.

[BLS]

Link?

I'm twitter 'dumb'.

[schiffheadbaby]

let's send him a kind email about his words.

from one great american to another

It should help us out a lot.

[jkob]

really sounds like he's going to endorse!

[schiffheadbaby]

Please consider sending him a short email of gratitude.

It takes a lot of courage for people in office to go out on a limb and support Ron and economic freedom/civil liberties.

[brandon]

I have no clue who this guy is but it definitely sounds like an endorsement is coming. Cool stuff.

Senator Tom Davis (21 hrs ago):


I just enrolled in a course offered by the Mises Academy on Ludwig von Mises' classic work, "Theory of Money and Credit"

Holy snap.

[Dsylexic]

hahaha.not a mere endorsement.he is a DEVOTEE if he has enrolled at lvmi institute.

[bobburn]

Senator Tom Davis (21 hrs ago):



Holy snap.

That seals it, if he's learning about von Mises he'll be in RP's camp if he isn't already.

[Tyler_Durden]

Aye or Nay for NDAA?

[frodus24]

I tweeted and told him thanks for the kind words.

[Razmear]

Aye or Nay for NDAA?

He's a SC state senator, had no vote on NDAA

[Pisces]

Aye or Nay for NDAA?

He's not in Congress; he's a state senator.

[nobody's_hero]

Aye or Nay for NDAA?

He probably hasn't thought much about it considering he's a state senator. Althought I'd love to see more state officials criticizing and even opposing the Federal government's laws as being unconstitutional.

Georgia had a state representative Bobby Franklin who wanted to put a tax on the Federal Reserve bank branch in Atlanta, 'cause he couldn't abolish it, lol. Unfortunately, he passed away last year.

This is the man that many pundits said could be one of the most influential endorsements in the state. He has a bright future. I was wondering where he had gone!

Where did you hear this?

[Chowder]

Nice! Let's encourage him to jump on board, we got plenty of seats ready on the rocket to liberty!

[Sarge]

One of his tweets keyed in on this article. Want to read this one.

Mittens has 5 problems. I, myself, would say way more than 5.

The more I read, the more convinced I am, that they are aware we hold the power this go around. They are scared as heck, and know we are not going to buy their BS attempts to play us to go away.

A brokered convention does not help us, as they will agree to some platforms to please us and never implement them after the election. Just IMHO.

Think Louisiana and Nevada 2008.

Go for the win.

[Varin]

Saw some guy on MSNBC claiming that there was an organized anti Paul movment in SC. If so I would guess it´s been created of the hate spewed on certain blogs and talkshows.
This may well bee an organized attempt at damage control from more sensible people in the party. Pointing out common ground before the party breaks. Remember that the Israel attack add was also recently pulled back.

[bluesc]

This is where he may endorse: http://www.pubpoliticslive.com/

In 3(?) hours.

[bluesc]

Where did you hear this?

A few months ago. Obviously DeMint was number one. Haley number two (I think) and Davis number three (I think).

[tsai3904]

He's stated his disagreement with Ron Paul's foreign policy on many occasions.

So has Rand. And Amash. They both endorsed Ron.

[specsaregood]

Let's not get too excited just yet. Theres a big difference between whispering sweeting nothings into ears and buying the wedding ring.

[vechorik]

There is a poll on his facebook where we can vote RP

hey specs I agree, still think it's good he's out there saying positive things about RP and mentioning Ludwig von Mises. That alone merits a short email of thanks in my mind.

[jersdream]

Didn't people say he was going to endorse Ron months ago?

[bluesc]

Didn't people say he was going to endorse Ron months ago?

Yes. It would be most effective now though.

True enough. just remember that bachmann waxed poetically about Mises plenty during her campaign.

[LibertyEsq]

He should primary Lindsey Graham.

And Beck with his love for Hayek. Seems to have forgotten that now.

[lnieves]

Well, he's certainly no Mitten's friend:


“This piece raises, once again, doubts I have long held regarding Romney’s view of the proper role of the state in the economy,” Davis wrote. “He supported interventionist policies in lending, TARP and ethanol subsidies, and he seems to support currency manipulation instead of sound money. Do we really know what we would get with a President Romney?”

Davis hasn’t endorsed any of the Republican presidential contenders, but his commentary on the 2012 GOP nominating fight is widely followed – and not just by South Carolinians. Last year, The Politico named him one of its “50 politicos to watch,” while a CNN story referenced him as a “rising star.”

Senator just retweeted my tweet!

[steph3n]

He is retweeting people asking him to endorse Paul :eek: NICE!

He may not be used to the attention :)

[american.swan]

YES!!! It's 5:45am in South Korea. I've been awake for about an hour. I saw this thread. I sent the good state senator a tweet thanking him AND sent him a link to History of Money and Banking in the US mp3 files!!! He responded!! "Thanks"

Awesome!! For Liberty!! NOBP!!

[angelatc]

He should primary Lindsey Graham. Maybe, but that seat isn't up right now.

[bluesc]

He'll like the attention when he gets donors from across the nation if he endorses Paul.

Yeah I read that I think on politico awhile back

[trey4sports]

possible DeMint replacement?

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, run neck-and-neck with President Obama in a general-election matchup, according to a new CBS News poll released late on Monday that shows the two front-runners in Tuesday's New Hampshire GOP primary running stronger against the president than their fellow Republicans.

[georgiaboy]

bump. This is excellent!

Someone do this...I don't tweet.

[ChrisDixon]

He retweeted a tweet telling him he should endorse Ron Paul. I'd say it's coming folks. Send this gentleman a nice thank you.

[PauliticsPolitics]

Yea, he is retweeting a lot of pro-Paul stuff...
We'll see what happens.

Wow! Fascinating that he would be retweeting people asking for his endorsement of Paul... Surely this is a harbinger of an endorsement to come.

[bluesc]

He sounds like a great guy. Said he is leaning Paul, doesn't care about newsletters, likes non-interventionism, doesn't like 9/11 or Iran rhetoric. When asked if endorsement would hurt him politically, he said he doesn't base his endorsement on what hurts or helps, because you lose credibility when you do that.

If he endorses Paul, I'm sure we can guarantee reelection for him.

[DealzOnWheelz]

tweet him this......A ron paul endorsement spells a Tom Davis moneybomb in his re-elecetion campaigns

[freejack]

Just retweeted another one. Does he have an auto retweeter?

[GeorgiaAvenger]

Wow, we need him to run for Senate!

[iGGz]

)()(

[tommyzDad]

LOL: The only thing M. Veritas can bring against Ron is his age. "...He's too damn OLD!!"

[Austin]

More updates:


Loopholes, subsidies, kickbacks -- enough. Politicians are not investment brokers. America is a great because its constitution protects liberty and allows us to pursue happiness.
I think that eliminates the chances of a Santorum endorsement.

He also links to this article about DeMint/Paul: Sen. DeMint: ‘I really don’t want Ron Paul to drop out’

C (http://dailycaller.com/2012/01/12/sen-demint-i-really-dont-want-ron-paul-to-drop-out/#ixzz1jLk7fUwo)onsidering Ron's recent surge in SC polls, I think this endorsement is even more likely. Heck, if we see Ron rise to the top.. we might even see a DeMint endorsement. Doubtful, though.

Reelection? I say try to get him DeMint's seat.

[MarcosP]

Nah, get him Lindsey Graham's seat!

[gb13]

Please consider sending him a short email of gratitude.

And if you live in SC, make sure to mention that.

[Steve-in-NY]

For the love of God can he do this already? The suspense is KILLING me!

[eduardo89]

For anyone who didn't read the article, this has nothing to do with Demint. It's Tom Davis who has been teasing us with an endorsement for months!
