Comments on: Lt. Governors Race, what the ethics report tells us http://theconservativist.com/2009/07/16/lt-governors-race-what-the-ethics-report-tells-us/ The Upstate's Source for Politics Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:42:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Harry Nelson http://theconservativist.com/2009/07/16/lt-governors-race-what-the-ethics-report-tells-us/comment-page-1/#comment-8373 Harry Nelson Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:43:06 +0000 http://theconservativist.com/?p=1775#comment-8373 Look at the very same ethics reports the author references. The author, Jamie Lee Rogers, contributed $2,100 to Ard's campaign, and then also has been paid $2,100 to do work for Ken Ard's campaign!! Is Ard really working hard for all that extra money (some of which isn't even real?) Might that influence this story? Ard, I am sure, is a fine gentleman. But, politically, he is a paper tiger. His base is small. Few numbers of high dollar contributions (and some that aren't even real). The very same ethics reports show fewer dollars, but many more contributors. (Who's been working harder?) I'll take that guy, politically, any day. I've known Bill Connor for over 20 years. Bona fide conservative. Already proving that he'll work his butt off for the citizens of S.C.

I'm looking to learn more from Roger's new contributions. But I'm also looking at character rather than the money report when it comes to potential candidates. Money is certainly important, but we would do well to plumb the depths of character for all candidates including Lt. Gov. I am open to visiting with others when they get in the Upstate and had a near miss with Thomas. The man, Bill Connor, I find very compelling in my interactions with him. Others will have to exceed awesome. There have been some real surprises in the political arena! Let's have crystal clear character in the forefront of our examinations. It would be what our Founders cheer. If we win and don't have that then what do we win? Why wouldn’t Jamie Lee Rogers have a better view of Ard since they are in the same “backyard?”

Who can take you seriously when you do that? The article says Ard "is leading the other candidates in more ways than one" however it talks about only money. So what if he has the most money. So did Lindsey Graham. (Graham would have lost except for the knee jerk RHINOS and the democrats he courted.)Money doesnt mean he is the best person. Money gets behind those who will do something for the money. We went to Ard's free food chat after the SC GOP convention. I found him nice enough but he was seriously clueless about most of the issues with crimes against the Constitution and strings attached to the Stimulus Bill that, at that time, Sanford was resisting. Connors is my man; a proven record of leadership with no political ties. That's the kind of men/women we need to elect. Not the same old Good ole Boy career types who do what they are told from those who give them money. As to Tim Scott, he is also nice but can't beat Connor. The grassroots Americans will be deciding the next elections whether you know it or like it. It will be good for the country to get to the truths they are ignoring.

Col. Bill Connor. He is by far the most conservative. Not to mention... the best man for the job!!! I've been to all of the CFL meetings and the Campaign for Liberty folks are all behind Lt. Col. Bill Connor... His grassroots support is becoming a force that all of the other candidates wish they had. My money is on Lt. Col. Bill Connor.

Geez, dude, get a life. Why do you think this race is so freakin' important anyway? What did I do to you - sleep with your wife or steal your girlfriend?
