McCain and Graham stop in South Carolina

Senator Graham voted for amnesty for illegal aliens and against the marriage bill. "Scalawag"	Senator McCain voted for amnesty for illegal aliens and against the marriage bill.   "Carpetbagger"	Both Graham and McCain are sucking up to Senator Ted Kennedy for guidence, the most liberal man in Washington DC. "Yankee".

Is Senator Graham the man we need to represent South Carolina in the United States Empire Government?

Does Senator Graham represent your views on immigration? He voted for amnesty for all illegal aliens in the US Empire today.  

Does Senator Graham represent your views on marriage between one man and one woman? He voted against a constitutional amendment for it.

Did Senator Graham represent your views on the Confederate Battle Flag flying on the State House Dome? He agreed with its removal from the State House Dome.

With McCain running for president do you believe Graham is sucking up to him for a vice presidential spot on the RNC ticket?

Do you agree with his view that terrorist have all the rights as the Geneva convention affords to captured solders of warring nations? Although they are not a warring nation, just a radical group of extremist Islamic fundamentalist that want to spread their religion by the sward. He also don't want them interrogated beyond, Name, Rank, and jihad number. He says "it might diminish our standing in the eyes of the nations of the world. I wonder if he has seen the polls about how the nations of the earth feel about the US Imperial Empire? Is this South Carolina he is representing?

Do you agree with his vote to raise gas and oil prices throughout the Empire? He voted to do just that. Is he representing the wishes of the folks of South Carolina?

Report on the Red Shirt's ride against McCain/Graham

Thursday 29 June 2006

On Thursday afternoon 29 June, our Red Shirts rode once again.  This time it was to protest against and send a message to carpetbagger John McCain and scalawag Lindsey Graham.  McCain and Graham had come to Columbia to put on the $200.00 per plate supper in support of the South Carolina Republicans (a mistake for the SC Republicans).  Of course McCain is running for the presidency and Graham for the vice-presidency of the US.  Our Red Shirts were there to protest their vile and un-Constitutional stand on illegal immigration.   McCain has also denounced our Confederate flag.

Our forces gathered at our Cayce Southern Patriot Shop where board member, Larry Salley, gave us our marching orders.  About thirty Red Shirts then caravanned to the governor's mansion where we were joined by other Red Shirts and members from other organisations of our coalition (there were at least a few members from three other organisations who joined the SCLoS).  We had again produced a faux program that appeared to be from the SC Republican Party, but when opened the reader was presented with the true stand of McCain and Graham on the criminal invasion.  We passed these out to the high rolling Republicans as they entered the mansion's grounds.  Some refused our hand-out, but most took them.  Perhaps some of them had a learning session before their meal.  Press reports indicate that they had only 100 Republicans on hand and that may have been generous reporting.

By the time the Republicans started arriving, we had about fifty in attendance, which allow us to cover the four corners of the intersection.  We had more than enough of our professionally-made signs for every Red Shirt.  About half of our people had a flag in hand.  Flags fluttering in the early summer Southern breeze included the South Carolina state flag, Big Red, the SC Sovereignty flag, the Bonnie Blue, the Confederate Third National, the Gadsden, “Don't Tread On Me” flag, and, of course, the Confederate naval jack.  We also had our famous and well-travelled commode with an up-side-down Graham and “FLUSH LINDSEY GRAHAM” signs.

We had one of our people pay the  admission ($200) and attended the supper, but he was recognised as one of us and was asked to leave and was refunded his money.  He was well-dressed, polite, was causing no trouble and intended to cause none, but we guess that the Republicans now have a problem with even what one may think.  We learned that a Republican spy attended our staging meeting at the Southern Patriot Shop.  It just proves that the SCLoS has become such a political entity in this state that they are trying to infiltrate us now.

Larry Salley was our designated spokesperson and he was quoted in numerous papers across the state in AP reports.  He was also featured on several newscasts Thursday evening and Friday morning.  There was no mention of the SPLC or the League as being a hate group.  Our on-going campaign against inaccurate reporting is also having an effect.  The news accounts gave full credit (where it belonged) to the SCLoS for this successful protest.  This is what McCain has in store when he visits our fair country again.

In the past few years, our Red Shirts have ridden many times for various reasons, but this event rates as one of our more successful rides.  We want to thank all of our Red Shirts for their participation.

McCain stops in Columbia to raise cash for GOP

By JIM DAVENPORT
Friday, June 30, 2006

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Arizona Sen. John McCain came back to South Carolina to raise money for the Republican Party on Thursday night.

McCain, mulling a 2008 presidential bid, gathered with two of his closest South Carolina allies, Gov. Mark Sanford and Sen. Lindsey Graham. South Carolina traditionally holds the first Republican presidential primary in the South.

Graham and Sanford led McCain's 2000 presidential primary election efforts in South Carolina. When McCain lost in this pro-Bush state, some pundits wrote off the political futures of Sanford and Graham, both at the time U.S. House members. Instead, both eventually vaulted to the state's top political jobs.

McCain joked he was glad to be with the senator and governor who "are responsible for my loss in South Carolina."

"I still haven't forgiven them," he said

McCain said he won't decide until early next year whether to run for president again in 2008.

"This is really an effort to raise money for our party and our candidates here in South Carolina. I have been everywhere in the country, literally," said McCain, whose political action committee has distributed more than $1 million to campaigns across the country.

At the fundraiser, McCain talked about Iraq, the 2000 campaign and getting people to vote Republican in this year's elections.

"We are going to work and stop this wasteful pork barrel spending that is mortgaging our children's future and hurting our prospects in November," McCain said. "We've got to stop this spending and get it under control or our base will not turn out next November."

About 100 people attended the event, raising more than $25,000.

McCain may have moved on, but his 2000 legacy in South Carolina remains.

Nearly 50 people joined the South Carolina chapter of the League of the South in picketing McCain's stop at the Lace House, on the grounds of the Gov.'s Mansion complex, reminding people of the Arizona senator's changing stance on the Confederate flag that was flying atop the South Carolina Statehouse dome in 2000, but has since been placed on a pole on the capitol grounds.

During the primary, both Bush and McCain said it was up to South Carolina to decide what happened to the flag. After he bowed out against Bush, McCain returned to the state and apologized, saying he should have taken a stronger stand that the flag should come down.

"He flip-flopped on the Confederate flag and we're going to remind of that," Lourie Salley, a league board member and the group's political director.

The protests didn't bother McCain, who said it was nice to live in a free country.

But Salley, a 51-year-old Lexington lawyer, said the group also doesn't like McCain's stance on illegal immigrants

"If our citizens didn't pay income tax, they'd go to jail," Salley said. "If an illegal immigrant does that, they get amnesty and citizenship."

"I am surprised Gov. Sanford would associate himself with John McCain," Salley said.

But others praised McCain and Graham trying to find a solution to the complex problems immigration creates. They "are not demagoguing the issue to get votes," said Ike McLeese, president of the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce

McCain wasn't the only potential presidential hopeful making a splash in South Carolina Thursday.

SCforMarriage.org, a group pushing voters to support a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage on the South Carolina ballot in November, said it picked up a $5,000 donation and sponsorship from Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's Commonwealth PAC.

"We cannot afford to shrink from the timeless, priceless principles of human experience," Romney said in a prepared statement. He said he applauds the South Carolina effort and those like it in other states.
