    Paul returns to SC, picks up key endorsement

    MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — Ron Paul has returned to South Carolina to pick up an endorsement from a state lawmaker popular with tea party activists.

    State Sen. Tom Davis announced his support for the Texas congressman Sunday at a raucous rally in Myrtle Beach. Davis served as chief of staff to former Republican Gov. Mark Sanford and is considered a vocal fiscal conservative.

    Paul placed second in the New Hampshire primary last week and third in Iowa's caucuses. He told supporters he expects to do well in South Carolina's January 21 primary.

    Polls show Mitt Romney leading the field, in part because no single candidate has emerged as a clear alternative to the former Massachusetts governor.

    Paul had been off the campaign trail since last Wednesday, resting and visiting family at home.

        Louie's got it right!!! The majority of American voters want a fiscal conservative and social moderate who will balance the budget without throwing "grandma" from the train. A candidate that will have the "GUTS" to lead Congress in across the board budget cuts and termporary tax increases while the tax code is revised.

        Oh, WAIT - that's NOT Obama either - three thumbs down - Obama, Romney AND Paul.

        “It is disappointing that a former constitutional law professor does not understand that the President is not a dictator or a king
        who can simply ignore the Constitution whenever he feels frustrated by the system of checks and balances wisely put in place by our Founders.

      Revolution great post. You should post it in yahoo contributor area. We need more articles written with facts and truth that can be backed up.

        I copied and pasted that from Sen Tom Davis website, these are Tom's words. I did it because ABC/Yahoo wound never think of posting why someone endorses Ron Paul. The news is still marginalizing Ron Paul.

        Elect President Paul

      Sen. Tom Davis Endorsement Announcement
      STATEMENT FOR RON PAUL/ TOM DAVIS RELEASE:

      “It’s easy to campaign on lower taxes, less spending and fewer regulations – it’s another thing entirely to stand up for these limited government principles when the entire Washington establishment is aligned against you. Yet for more than three decades Ron Paul has cast thousands of lonely votes in our nation’s capital based on the constitutional principles that this country was founded on – and that the Republican Party has promised to protect. Yet while generations of politicians – including far too many Republicans – were losing their way or caving to the status quo, Ron Paul was standing as a Tea Party of one against a towering wave of red ink.”

      “2012 marks the fifth consecutive year in which the federal government is going to spend well over $1 trillion in money it doesn’t have. Each and every American taxpayer is now on the hook for $135,000 worth of federal debt – and last year’s debt deal adds another $7 trillion in deficit spending over the coming decade. Meanwhile the U.S. Senate hasn’t passed a budget in nearly 1,000 days.”

      “I’m endorsing Ron Paul because enough is enough. Despite this wave of unprecedented government spending, our unemployment rate has remained above 8 percent for the last 34 months and 146.4 million Americans – one out of every two people in this country – are now classified as poor or low-income.”

      “Government activism and government intervention clearly hasn’t fixed our economy – which is why the Republican Party needs a nominee who isn’t wedded to that failed approach. We won’t chart a path to fiscal solvency or victory in November by running toward the failed ideas of the left – we will achieve those victories by returning to the principles that the Republican Party once stood for.”

      “That is why I am proud to endorse Ron Paul for president.”

      “Ron Paul’s record matches his rhetoric, his fiscal plan matches the fiscal challenges that our nation is facing and his movement represents the taxpayers whose interests have been ignored in the political process for far too long.”

      “I’m also endorsing him because unlike what the pundits have led you to believe, he is the candidate who gives the Republican Party the best chance to beat Barack Obama in November.”

      “We have a choice: We can keep electing c candidates who talk about change only during political campaigns as a way to get elected, or we can finally elect a candidate who will walk the walk and make that change a reality – restoring our bottom line, our individual liberties and our national pride in the process.”

      If you follow the Constitution, it is easy to know what is right.

      The Constitution was written to restrict the power of the government, and Ron Paul is the only one who even mentions the Constitution in his speeches. Freedom and prosperity are gaining in popularity with rock star Ron!

      Ron Paul needs one more endorsement to lock up SC. That is DeMint. if he gets him, then the others can say bye bye to their chances.
