In times of economic trouble, it is crucial that we keep an eye on the financial realities that threaten our state. We believe that legislators must do what every home or business does when money gets low- tighten our belts and limit spending! Each and every cost must be closely monitored, while only allowing the most needed of expenditures to continue. It is time for us to be resourceful and make sure that we become “budget hawks”. That is the conservative solution for this issue, but the liberals have a different approach…SPEND! So, we’re keeping track of how much of
Our message is resonating in all corners of South Carolina including traditionally Democratic areas like Williamsburg County. We are going to win big in November.
As the anticipation over the November elections builds up, the Democrats’ “panic-meter” is in full swing. This week, the Obama Administration’s chief spokesman, Robert Gibbs, conceded at a press conference that the Democrats may lose control of the House. This is a slight step towards reality for the administration, whose poll numbers have recently dropped just above 40% this past Tuesday. If Mr. Gibbs were to be completely honest, then he would address the high chances of Republicans taking over the Senate as well. However, let’s just focus on the House for now. One of the races the White House

Rob Miller’s Inaccurate & Dishonest Attack on Joe Wilson Won’t Work Liberal Democrat tries to divert attention from his $370,000 in MoveOn.org Money (Columbia, SC – July 14, 2010) Liberal Democrat Rob Miller’s campaign released a inaccurate and unsourced attack on Representative Joe Wilson this afternoon, trying to link him to lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Lancaster, SC – July 6, 2010 — South Carolina State Senator and candidate for United States Congress (SC-05) Mick Mulvaney blasted his opponent’s comments today regarding the lack of a federal budget this year. Chairman of the Budget Committee Congressman John Spratt, charged by law to produce a proposed federal budget, was quoted in the Rock Hill Herald this morning as telling a group of Democrats in Fort Mill, S.C., “Don’t worry about the fact we don’t have a budget.” (The Herald, 7/6/10). Mulvaney said, “The law requires him to pass a budget. The language is very clear: ‘On or
Chairman Floyd’s Citizen Hill Town Hall from SCGOP on Vimeo. Today Chairman Karen Floyd took time to answer questions from Republicans across South Carolina in this Citizen Hill live webcast.
Sometimes the Democrats make our lives a little too easy. Take for example the top of the Democratic ticket. As much as Democrats want to distance themselves from their Senate nominee, both the Attorney General’s office and the state Election Commission say that there’s no evidence of anything but Alvin Greene winning fair and square. Now his name will head up the 2010 Democrat ticket. Vincent Sheheen can run, but he can’t hide. It was bad enough that he had to share the ticket with Congressman John Spratt in the 5th and Rob Miller in the 2nd. Now Sheheen’s name
