We need to do everything we can to defeat people like Lindsey Graham. The 2014 elections could be a turning point for the libertarian movement within the GOP. Let us fire a shot across the bow of neocons by defeating Graham.

Ugh. Still no announcement.

[Lucille]

The prog hack commenters sure seem fond of Graham.

Do any of the new challengers have decent libertarian street cred?

Mace and Bright are pretty good.

Lee Bright seems really good.

Nancy Mace is basically a more liberty oriented Sarah Palin, but she has some porn peddling baggage that Graham will try to exploit.

Yesterday South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham endorsed President Obama’s intrusive arm of big brother regarding the collection of data and phone records:

“I’m a Verizon customer. I don’t mind Verizon turning over records to the government if the
government is going to make sure that they try to match up a known terrorist phone with somebody in the United States. I don’t think you’re talking to the terrorists. I know you’re not. I know I’m not. So we don’t have anything to worry about.”

Senator Graham went on to challenge Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. In his attack, Graham leads us to believe that “In Senator Paul’s world” those who value the constitution would leave America in a weakened position against its enemies. However, true conservatives believe that we can follow the constitution and defend our country against the enemy without sacrificing our freedom.

One week Senator Graham wants to debate the rights granted in the Second Amendment and another he questions the First Amendment rights of American citizens. And yesterday he tells us it’s ok for the government to search our phone records even if we are law abiding citizens.

Most would agree with Senator Graham that radical Islam is the foremost threat to our nation’s security. However, if we are truly protecting Americans from this grave threat, then how does it make sense to supply arms and aid to countries who support radical Islam, bring harm to our allies, burn our flag, hate our culture and allow terrorists to plot against the United States and her friends?

In Senator Graham’s world, arming al-Qaeda in Syria is a good idea.

In Senator Graham’s world, your rights as an American citizen are granted by the ruling political class and not by our Creator.

In Senator Graham’s world, government should always be trusted but never the American citizen.

In Senator Graham’s world, the Constitution doesn’t exist.

In Senator Graham’s world, the entire Bill of Rights is negotiable.

In Senator Graham’s world, our constitutional rights seem constantly up for debate.

In Senator Graham’s world, he says we’re fighting for freedom but is the first to surrender all of them.

In Senator Graham’s world, America is going broke, and taxing hard working Americans while spending more money the country simply does not have.

In Senator Graham’s world, I am concerned about the future of our country.

Maybe Senator Graham has been living in a world of his own for too long.

You can't just drop that without an explanation.

You can't just drop that without an explanation.

The Graham people are trying to label FITNEWS, due to some of it's more controversial content, as a borderline soft porn site. Mace simply owns a share of the site and didn't wield any editorial control of content.

error.

Mace is a stronger candidate than Bright imo, Mace has an exciting background and Bright is still having issues with his business going bankrupt. Graham is going to ruthlessly attack whoever his primary opponent is and I don't think it will be as easy to attack Mace.

Won't be easy as neocons will line up big cash for him but he is defeatable for sure if libertarians came togetger on this.
It is a good idea for America.
