He's even worse than Chuck Hagel, R-France.
The only time this drizzling douche has any cojones is when he faces his fellow Republican'ts.
I'm with you there. I've heard Ravenel speak, on the radio, several times, and I would have no problem at all supporting him.
My least favorite Republican Senator right now is Rick Santorum - for his efforts to shut off public access to information from the National Weather Service.
Can I nominate you?
Mine too, but he has so much competition for that top spot (Specter, the two bimbos from Maine, McCain, McCain's Nebraska clone, etc.) The only question is why is he representing S.C.? We in PA can't get rid of Specter even though we came close. Surely the good people of S.C. can rid all of us of this fake conservative.
Ha, you got me!
I meant successor.
Guess I win?
Shut up.
Graham can't hold a candle to McManiac for #1 P.O.S in GOP.
Really. Does he have primary opposition, or are you referring to the general election?
You haven't lived until you have been represented by Collins and Snowe.
Funny, but prior to seeing your post, I was thinking about the time I saw Lindsey Graham playing golf at Hilton Head and how I thought he was a wuss then. I was not impressed seeing him in person.
And Lindsey Graham is his lapdog?. I don't like the way he follows McCain's lead.
WAR EAGLE!!
It's the "Most Favorite Republican Senator" I'm having trouble drawing up a list of candidates for. ;)
Maybe Tom Coburn.
United we stand, divided we fall. Perhaps that is what some of you wish to happen.
I think of him as McCain's shadow. Wish we had more senators like Jeff Sessions.
War Eagle backatcha.
>> Graham is fine. His ACU numbers are good, he's right on 95% of the issues. His strategy is off every so often, and he's made some statements I don't care for, but he's hardly a bad Senator, or even a bad conservative.
And even if he was, Chafee would be much, much, much worse. <<
Agree. Yes, Graham is part of the gang of 14, but otherwise he is a pretty reliable conservative. His voting record is right 90% of the time (which fits South Carolina values). He was heroic and brave during the Clinton impeachment. Backstabbing RINO Pete King only votes "our way" 70% of the time, and he was the biggest tratior of them all during impeachment, but somehow the people out to crusify Graham are willing to give King a pass. Hmmm.
Graham isn't anywhere near the top of my list for worst Republican senator, heck, John McCain (80% conservative rating) didn't even make the list. Graham did something foolish once or twice, McCain is a loudmouth jerk but generally does the right thing when the vote comes up. There are far worse Republican Senators.
My personal rankings for WORST GOP Senator:
1) Arlen Specter – Votes with the RATs 60% of the time, but the worst thing about Snarlin’ is he PRETENDS to support “our” side and then stabs conservatives in the back regularly.
2) Linc Chafee – The MOST liberal Republican in the Senate. So liberal the New England RATs they up against him are more conservative. ‘nuff said
3) Olympia Snowe & 4) Susan Collins. The RINO twins from Maine. They’re free agents running with “R” next to their name because the “D” slot on the ballot was taken. “Electable” Susan Collins managed to finsh THIRD in the general election for Governor. Nice to know RINOs can “win”
5) Mike Dewine & 6) George Voinvoich. The country club establishment duo from Ohio. Along with Bob Taft (a disgrace to the Taft family name), these jokers have screwed the state so bad that the Dems smell blood in a state that has consistently voted Republican since the party was invented.
7) Lisa Murcowski – Pro-abort RINO hack in office for one reason alone: Daddy is the governor. Next time get her a pony, alright Frank? Foreshadows Bush appointing the Myers (Immigration Dept.) and Miers (Supreme Court)
8) Mel Martinez – Incompentant RINO hack shoved down our throats and proclaimed the “true conservative” in the race by the affirmation-wing of the GOP who salivated at the thought of saying “Hispanic Republican Senator”
9) Richard Shelby – Wussy moderate who’s a “Republican” solely because he read the writing on the wall and realized he could no longer get elected statewide in Alabama with a “D” next to his name.
10) John Warner – Mr. Elizabeth Taylor is unreliable and a pox on conservatives, and didn’t even win the party nomination. He was selected by “the powers that be” after the candidate who actually WON the primary died in a plane crash. It’s long past due for him to retire.
Dishonorable mention: Liddy Dole, Dick Lugar, John Sununu, John McCain
Generally good Conservative but did something incredibly stupid lately: Rick Santorum, John Thune, and Lindsey Graham
