A recent article by noted columnist George Will analyzed the diversity of the modern SCGOP. Karen Floyd, the SCGOP Chairman, talks about this column, as well as other issues facing South Carolina.

South Carolina is turning a historic corner. Think back twenty years or so and consider the chances of seeing a Republican, African American candidate running for Congress in our state. What about an Indian-American woman being within arm’s reach of the Governor’s office? Noted journalist George Will wrote an article last week highlighting the diversity of the South Carolina Republican Party in this year’s elections. He stated, “Scott’s and Haley’s candidacies, both focusing on economic issues, are pebbles in an avalanche of evidence that the identity politics of race and ethnicity has become a crashing bore.” To view the full

The campaign season is a lot like an exciting drive down the field in football, where you rely on your teammates to gain ground with each play. If you can successfully avoid getting sacked by the opposition, then you will have the opportunity to do a victory dance in the end zone. Our opponents are in a huddle right now, trying to make a play that will cause us to fumble and lose our momentum. People across the country are waking up to the liberal playbook that Nancy Pelosi and her elitist friends are implementing on our country. On the

Labor Day is an occasion where we celebrate America’s workforce by taking a day off to spend with our friends and families. This year our state and nation have been hit by a hard economic crisis and too many families find themselves without jobs. That’s why this year’s elections are so very important. Holidays are always the toughest times for families that are struggling to keep bread on the table. Unfortunately, the Obama administration’s reckless economic policies are putting more families in this category than ever before. Recent numbers show that the unemployment rate is at 9.6%, even after the

Liberal Democratic Congressman John Spratt’s refusal to take a stand on his aide comparing his Republican opponent to Osama bin Laden shows just how out of touch Spratt has become with his district, said SCGOP Chairman Karen Floyd today. In a report in a Columbia publication this week, Spratt’s campaign spokesman said, “If Osama bin Laden ran in this district as a Republican, he would get 38 to 40 percent of the vote in any election year.” The article goes on to say that Spratt was “walking alongside” the staffer who made the comment, and said nothing to disagree. Now,

An unprecedented event recently occurred, where the president of the United States issued a report to the U.N. Human Rights Council and bashed a state law. In a desperate attempt to gain the awe and admiration of global elitists, President Obama sounded off about the many “sins” in America’s history, including Arizona’s new illegal immigration bill. Obama writes, “A recent Arizona law, S.B. 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world. The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action

As a state, we have put an enormous amount of time and money into electing leaders that espouse conservative values and possess strong leadership qualities. Now, people like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid want to tear it all apart. Liberals in Washington are exerting a tremendous amount of effort in funneling money from special interest groups to liberal candidates here in South Carolina. Their goal is simple: remove conservatives like Congressman Joe Wilson and Senator Jim DeMint from office, and install a regime of tax-and-spend Democrats. So, what are we going to do about this? South Carolina stands on the

HEY, BIG SPENDER! Liberal Democrat Rob Miller doesn’t “practice what he preaches” on spending (COLUMBIA, SC – August 25, 2010) “When you point a finger at someone, you have three fingers pointing back at you.” Perhaps Rob Miller missed school the day his teacher taught that lesson. Although he is pointing an accusing finger on federal spending, his own fingers point right back at him on the same subject. It all started late last week when the liberal Democrat’s congressional campaign issued a news release attacking Congressman Joe Wilson for supporting “the single largest instance of government spending in the
