Down In South Carolina, Bob Conley Seeks Our Help Against Lindsey "BIGOTS" Graham. Does He Deserve Our Support?

Below is the email I received from Bob Conley, who is running for South Carolina Senate Seat against incumbent Senator, Lindsey "if you are against illegal immigration you are a BIGOT" Graham.

Notice that he sent the email to me on my OsiSpeaks.com Editor address, so it's obviously from someone reading this blog.

So, please if you are from South Carolina, or are following this race, give us the gist and keep us updated.

I will like to know if this Conley guy is for REAL -- i guess many of you will say that ANYONE, at this point, is better than Lindsey Graham, but I do NOT want to take that GIANT leap of faith yet.

The question is: does Mr. Conley deserve our help -- or should we stand by the "devil we know"?

So let us know, will ya? Thanks.

Below is that email:

Campaign Update – October 14, 2008

My fellow patriot,

We all know our country is going in the wrong direction. GOP incumbent Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has contributed to this situation by supporting so-called “free trade” agreements that have lost jobs for South Carolinians, the importation of technical workers to take jobs away from American citizens, the war in Iraq, amnesty for illegal aliens, expanding federal power to rob American citizens of their Constitutional rights and liberties and, most recently, the bailout of Wall Street at the expense of Main Street.

I don’t question Lindsey Graham’s motives; I question his judgment. I question why he thinks he deserves another six-year term in office after helping cause incalculable harm to the people of South Carolina and the nation. South Carolinians do not have confidence in a person who asserts that he has the leadership capacity to solve problems when a six-year track record in the Senate demonstrates just the opposite!

Lindsey Graham has millions of dollars to use against me any time he chooses. Much of this money comes from special interests who expect access to Lindsey Graham so they can advance their agendas on matters of policy, legislation, regulation and oversight. These are the same special interests that are now expecting the Middle Class to be “patriotic” in their support of Wall Street bailouts, even as they contemplate the loss of $2 Trillion in retirement savings.

Just remember, when you hear what Lindsey Graham says, you’re not getting the full story. In fact, when you hear Lindsey Graham speak, you can’t even be sure you’re getting the facts.

South Carolinians expect better, and come November they will get the real deal … I will never betray their trust and every vote I cast will be filtered through the U.S. Constitution, in the example established by patriot and statesman Ron Paul.
Together we can overcome the climate of fear and uncertainty that has burdened us beyond measure and which now threatens our way of life. The choice is in your hands… Here’s what you can do now to help put a “Ron Paul Democrat” into the Senate:

Become more informed about my campaign by visiting my website at www.bobconleyforsenate.com and encourage family and friends to do the same. Be sure to view my debate with Lindsey Graham last Saturday, plus the media reviews.

Contact Ron Paul’s Liberty PAC to have my name placed on the list of supported candidates. There’s an obvious disconnect here that needs to be fixed quickly. I’m counting on your help.

I do not accept special interest donations, yet I’m only 9 points behind Lindsey Graham, according to the latest Rasmussen poll. I am running a pure grassroots campaign against Lindsey Graham’s $3.6 million war chest. I am counting on whatever financial assistance you can spare to put me over the top in November.

My campaign is being run by only a handful of volunteers. These overworked people need your assistance in helping our cause. Please consider spending a week or two in South Carolina before the November election to lend a hand. You will not want to miss the opportunity and experience of taking down one of the nation’s leading liberty-robbing neocons!

Sincerely,
Bob Conley
