Barrett booed at Greenville Tea Party

The message from folks in Greenville to Congressman Gresham Barrett was clear Friday evening: Voters are mad about the $700 billion bailout he voted for and the massive government stimulus package he is now supporting.

Barrett, a Republican, attempted to speak before an estimated crowd of 4,000 people at a Post Tax Day Tea Party in the Upstate only to be greeted by boos from most everyone in attendance.

I was under the impression that Barrett was a good conservative, but apparently he flip-flopped to Obama's side to get a piece of the action.  It will be difficult for him to regain his credibility for the South Carolina gubernatorial race.
