Mace, Bright or Cash?

[luke19]

Does anyone know what sets these candidates apart from one another? I know Mace and Bright are probably fairly similar, but maybe some SC residents can enlighten me.

Mace & Bright are very similar. Cash, as I see it, is more of a "Club for Growth" type fiscal conservative, with a mix of socialcon and a Jacksonian FP. To compare them to current and past SC Senators, Mace & Bright would be more DeMint-like and Cash would be more like Scott. Any of them are an improvement. Personally, I am supporting Mace, but would have no problem giving my time and money to Bright.

I think Cash is more like Richard Mourdock than Scott. He's definitely better on civil liberties and foreign aid than Scott.

Lee Bright seems to be more like Rand than DeMint, given he supported Rand in 2012 and is Rand Paul-sequence on foreign policy.

I really like both Mace and Bright but atm it seems that Mace needs some touch-up work on her interview skillz. She definitely seems green but very genuine. Not a big fan of Bright's southern drawl but I can handle it I guess.

Southern drawls are popular in South Carolina. I like it personally, makes him seem more authentic.

At this point, between Mace and Bright, I honestly don't care which one of them wins provided one of them actually succeeds in doing so. Putting it off and then declaring almost within the same time frame ticks me off, to be honest since it feels too coincidental. Both are better than Graham by far, and while I've nothing against Cash, I know less about him than I do Mace or Bright.

I'm just disappointed it isn't Tom Davis.

I'm sure they are but I'm one of those righteous northerners and it's not something that I'm use to to put it nicely.

I'm not willing to send money to anyone who doesn't have a record in office to back up their words.

Bright has a record to prove how he will legislate. So he got my money.

Cash is criminally underrated, for some reason people dismiss him which I don't understand. Best way to describe him is as an old right paleo-con. On the issues, any of the three of them will be an all star in the Senate.

People don't dismiss him, but with purer candidates it's hard to support him. He should run for state legislature in 2016.

 

[checkurhead88]

When it comes to spending, foreign policy and civil liberties I don't know that he is any less pure than the other two. If you break down the issues all three are pretty much identical, they basically only differ when it comes to how they present those views.

I read Mace's website when she decided to run...to much of a neo con on military for me.I will back Bright or Cash..ain't decided yet.

 

[Schifference]

I would Mace Bright for Cash.

It seems that SC politics are such that all of the politicians fear attacking Lindsey.

Do you mean most of the SC GOP? Because Mace and Bright have attacked Graham right out of the gate. I think Bright said Lindsey is acting as a "community organizer for the Muslim Brotherhood."

"I believe in the Constitution and that only Congress has the ability to declare war. I also believe before making such a declaration, we ensure we have looked at all possible options. Radical Islam continues to be a threat. I do not support continuing to send US aid and weapons to countries that burn our flag, train terrorists or that threaten American interests at home or abroad." - from Mace's website.

An almost identical position to Rand's. Do you even know what a neo-con is?

Arguing with these people is useless in this instance. The end justifies the means. If they think Mace is worse than Bright and end up supporting the more electable candidate of the two, which is Bright, that can only be a good thing. This race is unique in that Bright is both more mainstream/electable and more libertarian than Mace.

Compromise, why do you think Bright is more electable than Mace? Because of her past association with FITS.com? Just curious...
