Christina Jeffrey 2008 Presidential Primary Timeline

Filed under SC Politics
Jeffrey must think us “inbreds” are pretty stupid.
I did some more research today and was able to develop a timeline for her presidential support claims. Folks, How much can one flop in the wind on this issue?
Unfortuately, I was unable to find an instance where she claimed to support Ron Paul. Her smoozing would sure indicate that she did, but we cannot find anything on record.
As for the claims she changed her mind from Rudy G to Hunter, I think this can be debunked with the timeline below.
January 2007
Duncan Hunter announced his campaign for President on January 25, 2007 in Spartanburg. In the March 5, 2010 debate, Jeffrey claims that she was there and her daughter sung at the event. This claim is in the WORD Debate Audio.
April 2007
Mike Littwin of the Rocky Mountain Times reports that Christina Jeffrey was a proud supporter of Rudy Giuliani.
“I want the United States of America to win the war against the terrorists,” Jeffrey said, explaining her support of Giuliani. “I think abortion is the No. 1 issue facing the people of America, but it’s not the No. 1 issue that a president can influence.”
November 2009
In an article written by Jason Spencer on Mike Huckabee, Jeffrey would not reveal who she supported in the 2008 Presidential primary. What is she trying to hide?
March 2010
In the WORD Debate, Jeffrey claims she supported Duncan Hunter

The Best Healthcare in the World
March 15, 2010 by Gary Coats

Yesterday, I was able to witness some of America’s greatest individuals in action.
Around 7:45 yesterday morning, I began having an allergic reaction to some medicine I had taken for sinus troubles.
Within 20 minutes my face had swollen so much I could no longer breathe out my nose, swallowing was extremely difficult and my eyes were almost completely swollen shut.
Thankfully, we live close to our local fire department and my father was able to get me there fairly quickly (He drove across town to help me out, I’ve got a great dad and am ever so thankful for everything he has taught me).
The team over at the North Spartanburg Fire Department are top notch and I owe my life to them today.
Without hesitation, the staff took control of the situation and did what was necessary to get the swelling under control.
The EMS staff and medical staff over at Mary Black were awesome too. They quickly assesed the situation and took care of me and my family, ensuring my health and their well being.
Later yesterday afternoon, I realized that I was one lucky dog. I was literally 10-15 minutes from dying today and our healthcare system performed flawlessly.
The training these guys go through to ensure our medical well being is top notch and they deserve the money they make.
They spend 10+ years in school ammounting some $150K in debt to ensure our health.
Occassionally they make mistakes, they are human. We must remember that and put a hold on so many frivoulous law suits.
I’ve had many people say I could have a lawsuit over this but I disagree.
The medication prescribed had never caused an issue before and today, my body decided to reject it.
With all of this said, our healthcare system needs reform, but a government take over is not the right thing to do.
Some government dergulation of the industry would help lower costs. Staffs have had to be expanded for each requirement put in place by the government. There is an immediate cost savings.
I believe Congressman Inglis shared that Medicare / Medicaid only pays 83% of the costs, therefore increasing the costs on others.
Why don’t the government pay equal costs, they are no better than you and me.
Maybe doctors should advertise prices and let consumers make decisions.
In the end, I don’t have the answer, but to implement more beaucracy and red tape would only be detrimental to one of the best systems in the world.
Again, I want to thank the crew at the North Spartanburg Fire Department for saving my life yesterday.
Jeffrey to Lose Liberty Candidate Endorsement?
March 12, 2010 by Gary Coats
Filed under SC Politics
As of 4:30 pm on Friday March 12th, Christina Jeffrey is no longer listed as a Liberty Candidate on their website. The link to her former endorsement page has been broken.
If you recall, The Conservativist discovered Wednesday that Jeffery was working for / supporting Rudy Giuliani during the 2008 Presidential Primaries and that her fellow South Carolinian’s were “inbreds”. During a recent debate, Jeffrey stated she supported Duncan Hunter in the primary.
We have contacted the Liberty Candidate organization to find out the reason why she was removed as a Liberty Candidate. A response from the organization at 4:40pm stated the committee was meeting and that they would be taking everything into consideration.
We will let you know when the Liberty Candidate organization makes a decision.
Bob Inglis Supporting Earmark Ban?
March 12, 2010 by Gary Coats
Filed under Opinion
Wow, Bob Inglis 3.0 continues to evolve into a fire breathing, “stop the debt”, fiscal conservative.
We cannot count the number of times we have heard Bob Inglis hesitate at eliminating earmarks at various Let’s Talk events across the Upstate. Congressman Inglis consistently said that it was the job of the Congress to appropriate funds and earmarks were a method to accomplish such.
Now, we have chief-of-staff Wayne Roper and Congressman Bob Inglis’ bragging about standing up to ban earmarks and convincing the Republican Conference to support a 1 year earmark ban.
For to long, you have said we messed up (I think your words in 2006 were “we need a slap on the wrist”) and now that you are in a tight election, you decide it is time to change your ways.
You voted for one of the largest spending bills in history and now you want to “Stop the Debt” as seen in the billboards? I am talking about TARP. You gave the Treasury unsupervised authority to expend funds as they see necessary without Congressional oversight! How much is that costing the American people? Inflation? Interest? Unaccounted Spending?
Bob, quit playing politics and speaking out of both sides of the mouth. It is time that you be up front and honest about your positions to the people in your district. We deserve a true representative and not someone who changes their ways to get re-elected.
By the way, we are looking to order a batch of our very own “Bob Inglis” flip flops. We’ll let you know when they come in.
