Jeffrey Now Supports Huckabee

Over the last few days, we have been checking in with the various organizations that have endorsed Jeffrey to see if they still stood by their women after calling South Carolinian’s “inbreds” and the revelations of her apparent support of Rudy Giuliani in the 2008 primaries.

We’ll start off with the Liberty Candidates endorsement.

We spoke with Liberty Candidate contact Gigi Bowman about Jeffrey’s profile that was removed this past weekend.  Bowman stated that they review their endorsements of candidates “when someone makes allegations or smears a candidates we review.”  After reviewing her profile and the Giuliani comments, she stated that she was “back in” as their Liberty Candidate.

We circled back around to the Boiling Springs Tea Party, the only Tea Party in SC that has endorsed Ms. Jeffrey in the race for SC 4th Congressional (maybe her new ads on the radio should read I am the Boiling Springs Tea Party candidate).  Here is the statement we received from the Boiling Springs Tea Party.

Yes we are (referring to keeping their endorsement).  She did not support Giuliani.  She was originally supporting Duncan Hunter.  Then she was pushing for Ron Paul, but at the last minute she voted for Huckabee because she didn’t want McCain to win.

By the way, Jeffrey is a key part of this Tea Party, see the about us page.

The Brady’s friend, Dr. Christina Jeffrey, also helps organize and recruit talent for the Tea Parties.

We sent a request to Jeffrey to respond to these new claims but at the time of publishing, approximately 24 hours later, she has yet to respond.

Folks, here in lies the problem(s).

The candidates were blatantly asked who they supported in the 2008 primary.  In my humble opinion, this directly correlates to who did you vote for.  If the statement above from the Boiling Springs Tea Party is in fact true, then her claim that it was Hunter she voted for in 2008 is a flat out lie to the people in this district.

If you are willing to lie about who you supported for President of the United States, what else are you going to be willing to lie about.

Secondly, some have argued that her quotes to Mike Littwin were taken out of context or that she had to do it because she was employed by Karen Floyd’s consulting firm at the time.  I’m sorry, you have the right to not go on the record.  She knows this.  She did so in November 2009 when she refused to say who she supported to Jason Spencer at the Herald Journal.  If she did not support the candidate but was helping set up for him, all she had to do was decline the interview.  If you don’t believe something, don’t say it…right?

I contacted Mike Littwin, in Denver Colorado, concerning this article and asked him to recall this particular event.  He said he had spent a lot of time here during the primary season and remembered specifically looking for Giuliani supporters at this particular event.   Littwin stated that he saw her doing campaign work for Giuliani and spoke with her about her support for some time.  In her defense, he stated the inbred comment was an apparent joke.

Folks, I’m looking for a candidate who will be up front and honest with me.

We have seen Congressman Inglis flip flop on a few issues and now we have a candidate, Jeffrey, who can’t tell you who she supported in 2008.

The people in this district deserve better.

Common Sense Grandma Alienates Tea Party

There has been much bru ha ha over the past few days concerning the attempted take over of the Tea Party by the SCGOP, the agreement that was reached, and Chairman Floyd’s TV News stops promoting the deal.

According to Americans Have Had Enough and the Upcountry Coalition of Conservative Organizations press release, the agreement reached with the SCGOP was different from what was communicated to the national media outlets.  The terms of the original agreement can be found here.  You’ll have to decipher that one.

In response to the Upcountry Coalition, the Common Sense Grandma¹, Christina Jeffrey came out swinging at Russ Cassell, Roan Garcia-Quintana and others claiming they are republican haters to the same Tea Party leaders that support and rally around these individuals. Not a very smart move considering the voting base you are courting is that audience.

Guys, Roan Quintana, Kerry Wood, Russ Castle and Randy Simpson are GOP haters.

I think the guys above are agitating to beat the band and we should be careful. Not because I’m a candidate but because we will look bad as a movement if we beat people up unnecessarily. Listen to what she says – it’s just what Patrick said at the Greenville Exec Committee, not profound, not the way you or I would have said it, but not evil and not co-opting.

Even worse for Jeffrey, Cassell caught wind of this and aired her dirty laundry all over WORD (106.3) this morning.  We are still waiting for the highlights to be posted on NewsRadioWord.com, we’ll provide  a link when it becomes available.  NewsRadioWord Audio Link.

Sources indicate it was not a pretty morning for Jeffrey.  She was even referred to as “the nutty professor” a few times.  Ouch!

In my opinion, the entire premise and support base she built for this primary was completely obliterated this morning by trying to defend Karen Floyd’s statements.

Although it may have been the right thing to do, this may have killed any hope for a primary victory for Jeffrey in June.

UPDATE:
Reporting in from Greenville, the abusive behavior of a particular candidate consistently running into people as an intimidation tactic as returned.  It wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t do it so often, repeatedly and inconsiderately.  We now have reports of this from the March for Life, Andre Bauer’s Christmas Party, Wade’s, and now Tommy’s Ham House.  You KNOW who you are!

UPDATE 2:
Jeffrey managed to squeeze her way to the front at the Press Conference today to get beside GOP Chairman Karen Floyd and wanted to speak.  As soon as she tried to speak, the crowd shouted her down, told her they didn’t want to hear anything else from her.  Supposedly, she yelled back before Kibler said let her talk.  She issued an apology.  In fairness, Quintana stated that since Jim Lee was in attendance, it was only fair he had an opportunity to speak to.

Bob Inglis

The Inglis campaign came out with a full frontal assault on Trey Gowdy this morning.

The Inglis campaign has filed ethical violations to the FEC and SC Ethics questioning Gowdy’s potential use of state campaign monies in his congressional race.  This story was broke by Jason Spencer at the Herald Journal.

Also, Inglis has begun what has been termed a “blitzkrieg” in Union County over the last week. I’m not sure Union is used to having this much attention for the congressional race.

David Thomas

Thomas campaigns ads have begun to be aired during news broadcast in the upstate this week.
