Thou is speaking ill of a fellow Republican
Carroll Campbell III, son of a former governor, did what is supposed to be a Big Sin to a Republican -- he violated Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment by speaking ill of a fellow Republican, Pyro Henry Brown.
Campbell has announced he would oppose Brown next year in the GOP primary. Here's from his stump speech (which mirrors a lot that we've been saying about Brown in his completely undistinguished congressional career):

You can't say it is time to throw the bums out and then vote for your local politician who keeps bumming a ride back to Washington based on bailout votes, earmarks, and years of running for office.Carroll Campbell III isn't the prescription for better, progressive representation for the First District, but he's a whole lot better than the resident _ _ _ _ _.
We deserve better than Henry Brown.
Mr. Brown voted for the 700 billion dollar bank bailout that led to the AIG bonus scandal and put senior citizens and taxpayers of South Carolina on the hook for Wall Street.
Mr. Brown voted for the Farm Bill that doles out 5.2 billion dollars annually to many individuals who no longer farm.
Mr. Brown has been cited multiple times for sending out hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars worth of mail, just to tout himself.
And, Mr. Brown has been cited multiple times for promoting earmarks – the tactic used to stuff pork into Washington bills. He will argue he is bringing home the bacon. Well, that's exactly how our nation has gotten into debt.
Ladies and Gentleman, I have been in the Wendy's restaurant business.
And, when I take a look at Mr. Brown's record, I have to ask, "Where's the beef?"
Unfortunately, Mr. Brown's beef is nothing but pork.
Keeping the same old ways of thinking in government won't solve our problems. Doing things the same old way and expecting a different result is known to some as the very definition of insanity.
