Some suspect a GOP operative recruited Greene to run and provided the $10,400 filing fee.
This is what I don’t understand. Why do you have to provide such a large amount of cash to run for office? This is NOT what our forefathers envisioned. They did NOT expect you to be rich to run, this is NOT why the constitution was written and as long as this and idiotic rules LIKE this one is there, we’ll never have true change. Rich fat cats do not know what it’s like to be poor and therfore will NEVER help the people of this nation as we are ALL going bankrupt.

I agree with Judy T. It’s the truth if your male, white a good ass kisser to Israel by golly you got the vote! People are tired of all the incumbents does not matter they are sick of them. As far as the so called 30 percent of Black people voted for Mr. Greene not so! My aunt worked the polls and was very dissapointed that BLACK people did not come out to vote so that information is WRONG! As far as some pictures what in the heck looked at thse pedophile congress people every time you turn around some one is having a sex scandal. No people are fed up and I truly believe things will change and I hope they change in my State too Georgia needs all these dopes out!!

58-60% voted for him. If they choose him because he was first then it’s the other guys fault for being so lame. And I never accused Doug of anything.

And I know a lot of folks coming home today with $10,000 or more. That is a huge chunk of change to us poor folks.

He had no family, no kids, nothing to pay for back home. It is entirely within reason to think he could have saved $10,000 in 15 years of service. I believe you owe me an apology for attacking me with stupidity.

“A lot of Army boys have a huge chunk of change coming out since they didn’t spend a dime during their service.”

I and a lot of other veterans would gladly kick anyone’s butt who said that in our physical presence. That is perhaps the most fatuous, wrong-headed statement you have ever made here. And that’s saying something! You owe it to a whole hell of a lot of people to retract that asinine statement.

So what exactly are the qualifications needed to be a Senator? You do not need any sort of formal education or degree. There is not any training program. Currently it seems that the requirements are that you be male, white, a good ass-kisser to Israel and ready to give it all for Wall Street. These are not qualifications that I value. I would vote for him if I lived in SC.
And as to his “felony”, it is just insane that it is a crime to share sexy photos with a college student. If you are old enough to go to college, you are old enough that anything related to sex should not be a shocker. Was he charged because the girl was white and he was not?
It is beyond time for we the citizens to stop electing self absorbed idiots who have no idea how life is in the real world outside the beltway and other similar politician enclosures. I want some Senator’s that have had to make minimum wage stretch to cover monthly bills and feed a family.

Greene is totally unqualified for higher office. In South Carolina, the primaries are open to anyone, even those registered as Republicans. I am sure many Republicans crossed over, to elect someone who was bound to be defeated in the general election. It was a good strategy.

Your assumption that Greene is the person the Democrats “wanted” to support is misplaced, at best. The conventional take on this primary election is that the Dems went to the polls and voted for the first name they saw on the list.

As to the charge of racism, that’s as silly as the rest of what you have been saying. Neither I nor Doug Thompson said anything racist. What I said about the 35 percent was that once people realize the candidate is an unemployed live-at-home accused pornographer they will either vote for DeMint or just not vote.

I believe he did raise the $10k himself. A lot of Army boys have a huge chunk of change coming out since they didn’t spend a dime during their service. He is a 15-year Army veteran with an honorable discharge. Just because he is on unemployment doesn’t mean he didn’t have some money saved up.

58-60% of Democrats voted for him. Pretty dangerous for the establishment to not fund him with that number voting for him.

More to come as it unfolds…

Likewise, It’s pretty racist to think no white people will vote for or did vote for Greene.
