The Worst Republican Senator Quin Hillyer Published 5/15/2008 12:08:02 AM
South Carolina's Lindsey Graham is a flop. He pretends to be a conservative, but sells out conservatives and insults them while doing so. He pretends to be effective at reaching across party lines, but the only thing he effectively does is help the other party. He inhabits the Senate seat of Strom Thurmond, legendary for great attention to his South Carolina constituents, but Graham spends most of his time trailing behind John McCain like a valet as McCain criss-crosses the country in pursuit of the presidency. He called Ted Kennedy "one of the most principled men I've ever met." In sum, in the words of conservative movement stalwart Richard Viguerie, "Lindsey Graham is part of the problem."
What, for example, could possibly have possessed Graham, in April of 2006, to write an essay for Time magazine about the virtues of Hillary Clinton? He called her "a smart, prepared, serious senator." She is "sought out by her colleagues to form legislative partnerships." She has managed to "build unusual political alliances with...conservatives."
He praises liberals, but reserves particular venom for conservatives who disagree with him. The most infamous example came at a speech to the utterly radical Hispanic group La Raza -- it was bad enough that he spoke to them, much less what he said -- when he described what he would do to opponents of the awful immigration proposal he helped Ted Kennedy craft: "We're going to tell the bigots to shut up." The idea that only a bigot could oppose the Kennedy amnesty plan was a recurring theme with Graham: On This Week, he told George Stephanopoulos that opponents were like those in earlier years who put up signs that said "No Catholics, no Jews, no Irish need apply.".........

SPECTOR wins hands down.
They’ve started playing his stupid re-election radio commercials here in the lowcountry. I have to turn it off for my mental and physical well-being.
The worst Republican Senator is Ted Stevens.
A crook, liar and big spender.
the pubie party imploded
beginning with newt gingrich,
tom delay,
randy puke cunningham,
steve foley,
ad infinitum...
A crook, liar and big spender.
That's a description of every senator in Washington. Stevens is a bit of a dunce ("the Internet is like a series of tubes") but he's usually there when a conservative vote is needed.
Buddy is who I’m on board with!!!
They're playing them here in the Upstate, too. I'm glad they're running them because it's a helpful reminder of who the enemy is.
Pansey Graham is with the enemy.
BTW, I quit the Republican party. Had enough.
"Bigots" indeed.
Are the Democrats fronting a candidate?
Yes, I think that everyone more or less knew that Lindsey was gay, and as long as he was doing a good job, no one cared. He should have just come out and admitted that he was gay and said that it was a private matter and would not interfere with the job that he does for the people of South Carolina. He should not have let the gay lobby bully him into the McCain camp.
Is it PC to say Linseed is most of the time a dope?
Question is? Will this be censored on Republic?
He doesn’t show much evidence of being unwillingly in the McCain camp. I laughed at how the writer of this compared Lindsey to a valet.
