Grooms steps out of Governor’s race

Larry Grooms was my choice. While I am disappointed that he is dropping out of the race, I think that should he run for Congress this will prove to be a very smart and effective move:

Many in the Tea Party movement lately have been asking Grooms, deemed the Tea Party candidate, whether he could be as effective on the conservative issues facing the nation from the Governor’s Office in Columbia. Grooms says this has been another major factor playing into his decision.

Dean Allen, candidate for Adjutant General and a dedicated patriot who was fighting for freedom long before the tea party movement, had some interesting comments on the SC Congressional races. I find his comments ironic and significant since our Republican Congressional delegation held hands and jumped for TARP together, reasoning that “they can’t throw us all out.”

(I am convinced, and always have been, that things were not as bad as they were made out to be. I believe the sub-prime mortgage crisis was a deliberately engineered plot, and the people who supposedly represent our interests all fell for it. I have always said that true conservatives know better than to bail out business with taxpayer’s money, and I will never apologize for that.)

Now for Dean Allen’s comments:

Larry Grooms is a true patriot and I hate to see him out of the Governor’s race. His departure puts Congressman Gresham Barrett in dead last place. It is interesting that the man with the most name ID, and the most money, Barrett is dead last.

All six SC Congressmen voted for the $850 Bush Bailout. Brown and Barrett are not seeking re-election. Inglis and Spratt are in trouble for re-election. Looks like the voters are awake and in a mood to throw out the bums that can be thrown out starting with non-conservative Gresham Barrett.
