Comments on: Career Politician or Conservative Patriot?

To clarify a little, Richard has said the reason he considers Jeff a career politician is that Jeff is not willing to pledge to limit his time in the House. Of course Richard has pledged no longer than 10 years. The logical conclusion is that, while Jeff supports term limits for everyone, if that doesn’t happen, he is prepared to stay beyond 10 years in the House. Add his current 8 years in the state house, and it looks like he’s planning on a career of 20+ years in politics. That isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s the reality.

I have no issue with Jeff’s voting record. It is sterling. He and Richard agree on nearly every issue, aside from how the government should operate.

Please document who called Duncan a lawyer. I’ve never heard him called that, and I’m pretty close to the Cash campaign. I believe Neal Collins was the only lawyer in the race.

I don’t doubt that some supporters have heard and repeated some rumors. Richard can’t stop that. But Duncan sent out a mailer with question marks beside three of Richard’s well-documented positions, implying that his position was ambiguous. I thought Duncan was more honest than that. And that was a mailer officially from his campaign, not some random supporter.

Duncan has a great record, but I’ll go with Cash on his legislative emphasis (pro-life more than economic, although both candidates agree on those issues) and his views on PAC money and term limits. Duncan’s misleading mailer in the runoff also disappoints me.

Been watching the race from Texas and my opinion is that you are supporting a really great candidate.

There may be some mischaracterizations of Mr. Duncan going on, but I have not seen anything unfair or personal coming from the Richard Cash campaign. At Mr. Cash’s press conference in Anderson today, he made it very clear that his disagreement with Mr. Duncan was not a personal attack, and was not over Mr. Duncan’s service in the state house, but rather over two issues:

-Term Limits
-Special Interest Money

I believe that these are legitimate political issues to discuss; this isn’t a personal attack or a smear.

I sincerely hope that no “dishonorable attacks” have been made by Cash supporters, obviously that would be hurtful to both candidates. However, I can assure you hat no “dishonorable attacks” have been made by the Cash for congress campaign.

I have attended 4 of the debates so I feel fairly well informed about the candidates. I voted for Cash in the primary but don’t consider myself a “Cash supporter” per se. I had a hard time choosing between Cash, Collins, and Vasovski- since all seemed to be conservative outsiders who were not taking special interest money.

I checked Cash’s website and he states “We must also encourage school choice and support the rights of parents who choose private schooling or who educate their children at home.” This leaves me unclear about why you are endorsing Duncan over him- as Cash seems more solid to me.

I was very troubled by Duncan’s comment at the last debate (in Clemson) when he boasted about working with Democrats. With the Democrats we currently have in Washington, I think the last thing we want is someone who is going to work with Pelosi, Reid and Obama. It basically sounded like something Lindsey Graham would say.
