Republicans ready for their big weekend
COLUMBIA - South Carolina Republicans are gearing up for their big weekend.
The state GOP holds its Silver Elephant Banquet Friday night with U.S. Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee as the keynote speaker. Corker is an Orangeburg native.
The party's convention will end on Saturday with the GOP naming a new leader as Katon Dawson gives up the party's chairmanship.
Spartanburg businesswoman Karen Floyd is expected to succeed Dawson. Floyd currently has no announced opposition in the race to lead the party.
Meanwhile, state conventions during the past few weeks have elected mostly new leadership at the upper ranks of the party.

I fail to understand what the "party" has to party about. Even though I have have been a life-long Republican, I would be embarrassed to go to this event. The party needs to clean house and try again.
This doesn't mean that I am falling in love with the Democrats. They have always been a laughing stock and Spend-bama has made it worse.

The biggest problem with the Republican party is it's too liberal. If you stand in the middle of the road you get hit by the traffic coming from both directions. . .

If the Republicans would be truly for limited government, namely national defense, infrastructure (police, fire protection, roads and bridges), law and order, including the protection of innocent life and securing our borders they would win most elections. The problem is that they believe the lie that it is important to compromise. When you compromise with evil, evil wins every time. It's time to take a hard line "take no prisoners" attitude in politics.
