Mah fuybah and Upstate congressional delegation

    You remember mah fybah, moral fibre, from Oh Brother Where Art thou. I went to the Congressional Forum for Third District Thursday at clemson Madden Center sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Ten Candidates were invited, seven pledged to be there, and four showed up all GOP. I wanted to see Stewart Jones and confront him about his diabolical Anti immigration ad but he didnt show up.she

      I got on Upstate Fox with Kari Beal. She was real nice from Syracuse. Said she is gonna try Bridges BBQ in Shelby been down here for five years and appreciates the BBQ > For a minute I thought she hsd to be a fifth cousin of Debbie Medaris.

   Candidates played it close to the vest. I did however talk to three of of them before or arter the forum. Here is the news. Kevin Bishop long time staffer for Lindsey Graham told me he stands with friend From Easley now in the state house, Neal Collins now under political assault from Palmetto Gun Rights because Neal is not ready to call open season on every public school student in Pickens County with Open Carry. Neal has the backing of his pastor I am certain, John Adams at FBC Easley and most of the congregation. I hope this conversation has legs.

     Ms Elspath running on agriculture concerns had the nerve to say, lets' be honest, Climate Change is for Real.  I wish the trustees at Clemson had her nerve, especially Nikki Haley.

     Franky Franco, A Cuban Baptist and Bob Jones Grad is a charm and has a future if the party every comes back toward the Bush Family. But he said he was not aware of Project 2025, The MAGA, Demint Heritage Foundation plan to dumb down Anerican history on Race and Jim Crow politics

   About thirty minutes later I voted in the GOP primary, Voted for Franco cause he has some integrity and lot of potential in poliitcs. He just has to break wirth Demint and The Bob Jones agenda which of course will be hard for him to do

    Susan Shaw of Rome Ga was able to do it. Raised in West Rome Baptist church under the preaching of Jerry Vines she had a piece at Baptist News Global todal How Low will they Go about SBTS President Al Mohler.

     Kari Beals and Jane Robelot should be visiting that site twice weekley. And read Randall Balmer on the politics of Abortion, Jill Lepore on the Gun Lobby in Deadline collection as well as Miguel de la Torre, and Cynthia Tucker and Frye Galliard on the big frame of how the GOP got to his point.

     Nice people but I fear I was only the person in the room who could distinguish between my A dbl SS and a Hole in the Ground.
