Now that the primaries are over, you’ll be hearing more — although, I’m guessing, not a lot more — about the candidates of the new American Party started by Jim Rex and Oscar Lovelace. So, to help that along, I share this release I got this morning from the American Party candidate for Tim Scott’s U.S. Senate seat:
Hello!
We all have something in common — The American Party of SC. We all believe that it is time for a change and we have all indicated our willingness to do something to bring that change about. I have chosen to run for the United States Senate for South Carolina as a candidate under The American Party. I am not doing this alone – I know that you are with me. But we need to reach more South Carolinians. There are “centrist” groups of like-minded American citizens all over the U.S. and there are many right here in South Carolina. This is not just a state of right leaning conservatives. They, like we believe, that to end the gridlock in Washington and to put our country back on track we need to start finding ways to work together again. We need to put the partisan bickering aside and get down to the hard work of governing. After yesterday’s primary, we all can see that it is possible to change the status quo when passionate people work together to make that change happen.
The South Carolina primary is over and I am facing, Tim Scott, in the general election. Mr. Scott was appointed to his role as Senator. He is also a “Career Politician”. Tim has over $4 Million in his campaign fund. In order to compete in this campaign I need your help. T.V. is expensive, and it will be critical to get our message out to the voters of South Carolina at the right time. Print and mail is expensive, and it too will be critical to reach the voters we need to join us and help make history!

As the song says, “It’s time for us to do something!” Help me do something positive now for South Carolina, for our future and for America!
Thank you!

Yes, it’s a bit weak. It needed an editor for the punctuation (“They, like we believe, that to end the gridlock…”), and the fact that Sen. Scott is a “career politician” is one of those lame, populist messages that leaves me cold (a fault which the new party is unfortunately prone to). But give her time. Maybe as time passes, she will offer reasons why Scott is doing a poor job, and why she would do better. Which would be helpful.
casting Scott as a career politician makes the rest of anythig she says laughable.
