There are some things Bob doesn't want to understand . . .

The hits on Bob Conley from the state Democratic Party leadership are coming fast and furious. The mildest criticism comes from State Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Fowler, who has called Bob Conley "an inexperienced campaigner and possibly there are some things about politics he doesn't understand." Fowler has a point. There are some things about politics Bob Conley doesn't understand.


Bob Conley on offshore drilling and prospecting for oil in ANWR

Bob Conley for U.S. Senate"I support the extraction of oil in the outer continental shelf (OCS) and in the small region of ANWR that has been advocated in an environmentally responsible manner.

To alleviate the fears of unsightly rigs near our beaches, we will require that production from rigs on the OCS are at least fifty miles from land, have reasonable safety and environmental standards, cannot be seen from beach front property, and will not adversely impact our tourism economy. A lowering of gas prices will bring more tourists to South Carolina, as more Americans will be able to afford to travel to our beautiful coastline.

Increased supply will lower our gasoline prices and the prices of all other items that rely on crude oil. We will keep more energy dollars in the US economy instead of sending those dollars overseas. We will also create good, well-paying jobs!"

from callers on WORD-FM

Bob Conley on WORD-FM 106.3 with Bob McLain

Bob "Flat Top" Conley, Democratic nominee for the US Senate race facing Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), joins Bob McLain on WORD-FM 106.3 to discuss his opponent, the issues and his campaign. Bob also answers questions from callers on a variety of topics.

Democratic senate candidate wants to debate Graham

The Democratic candidate vying to unseat U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has challenged the incumbent to a series of debates this fall and threatened to talk to a cardboard cutout of the Republican if the senator won't commit to any of the events. Democrat Bob Conley, a North Myrtle Beach engineer, has been courting everyone from libertarians to conservatives . . .


The Right Democrat - South Carolina Senate candidate Bob Conley is more conservative than his GOP foe

Bob Conley

The Democratic establishment long ago wrote off this contest. Lindsey Graham is a well-funded incumbent in a deep red state. A weak field allowed the virtually unknown Conley, an engineer and commercial pilot, to take the nomination. Now Graham, much to his surprise, must compete with a Democrat who stands well to his right.

Conley is at least as socially conservative as Graham, whose pro-life and anti-gay-marriage positions are popular in South Carolina. And many cultural conservatives distrust the sitting senator. Graham's challenger in the Republican primary, Buddy Witherspoon, defeated him in Greenville, one of the most conservative counties in the state.

Bob Conley Takes on Lindsey Graham on The Kudzu Vine

Bob Conley on The Kudzu Vine

Bob Conley takes on neoconservative Lindsey Graham who is spending more time with John McCain as his personal valet and bag boy than representing South Carolinians, who are trying to cope with high energy costs, lost jobs, depressed wages, and the negative impacts of illegal immigration on schools, health care and law enforcement. Bob is running for the U.S. Senate because Lindsey Graham has sold out the people of South Carolina in favor of special interests who are pushing their own policy agendas.

What you can expect from Bob Conley as your United States Senator…

Lower Your Gas Prices: Bob Conley sees solutions to reduce your gas prices through the use of alternative energy and conservation. To end our dependence on foreign oil, we need to change our energy policy. Bob will fight for this change by: encouraging more energy production at home, promoting the development of alternative energy sources, wider use of proven alternative energy solutions, and encouraging the use of energy-saving technologies. We’ll regain energy independence and create good jobs in the process!

Iraq: Bob Conley believes it is time to end the occupation, and support our troops by bringing them home!

Jobs & Immigration: Bob supports secure borders and wants South Carolinians to have first choice of jobs in South Carolina.

Jobs & Trade: Bob Conley says no to trade agreements that send our good, well-paying jobs to foreign lands. The U.S. needs to withdraw from trade agreements that have cost us 3.5 million of our good manufacturing jobs since 2001!

Bob will promote and restore America First trade policies. We need to follow the Constitution – Congress is to regulate trade with foreign nations. We must end most favored nation status for Communist China. Bob is our fighter to change trade policies, correct our massive trade imbalance, and keep our good jobs here at home.

Economy: We must implement fiscal policies to end deficit spending. Bob Conley believes we must change our monetary policy, restore sound, honest money, and halt the fall of the dollar. We must stop predatory lending practices, end the Wall Street bailouts, and put a lid on massive expenditures abroad.

Military: Overseas deployments of occupation are breaking our military. Deployments in recent years have left 80% of our National Guard units without the necessary equipment for training – and the missions they should be prepared to serve here at home. Our National Guard needs to be rebuilt.

Veterans: Bob Conley believes veterans need to be given adequate care, not shuffled around in a Veterans’ Administration that should be overhauled. Bob will work to pass a new GI Bill for our veterans who have fought in the twenty-first century.

Constitution and the Bill of Rights: Bob Conley will fight to repeal the Big Brother legislation passed by rubber-stamp Republican Congresses. We cannot afford to give up essential liberties under the false pretense of security. Measures that infringe on our individual liberties protected by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights must be repealed! We must restore the Constitution and respect the principles on which our Republic was founded.

Bob Conley is the candidate, and this campaign is our campaign. Our campaign is about the future of our country. Our campaign is about the future of our State. Our campaign is about the future of our families.

Our message is one of change and hope: to strengthen our families.

Our campaign is about the future of freedom. Our campaign is to build a future of peace and prosperity that will lift up the middle class.

South Carolina needs a United States Senator who can navigate through these tough, turbulent times, solve problems, and build a prosperous future that lifts up the middle class.

South Carolina needs Bob Conley in the United States Senate …

Aim high with Bob !
