FINALLY, the people in South Carolina are awakening to the fact our values are not being represented by Lindsay Graham.
..bout time
Good for them!
Hooray! When is this clown up for re-election?
OK but what does this really mean?
The post does not use the correct headline, which reads, “COUNTY Republican Party leaders censure Sen. Graham”
A little spanking for Senator Lindsey Lohamnesty.
Can he be recalled? He should be. People that elected him to represent them should not have to be represented by a traitor.
A big thank you from New Jersey....... where anything is possible in the obamanation!
Why should he worry about higher taxes and people losing jobs over a scam?
Pray for America and Our Troops
I don’t blame them! Graham has been drinking the global warming kool-aid just to be “Mr. Collegiality.” Of course we cannot forget his behavior concerning amnesty for illegal aliens.
Graham is just a country boy that wants to be an elitist. In so doing, he is leaving behind the people he represents. It’s time for them to leave him behind.
2014
Wow... the pansy GOP “leadership” grew a partial set and put one of its limp-wristed RINOs on double secret probation... no doubt with a wink and a nudge.
Excellent!
Lindsey is a disgrace, and needs to be kicked out of government at the earliest opportunity. His support of Cap and Tax has put him WAY over the top.
The conservatives in South Carolina state government need to submit a bill that allows for the recall of senators.
This title need to be corrected to what the source says; County Republican Party leaders censure Sen. Graham
Not for 5 years. SC had their chance to replace Tinker Bell with a real conservative in the last election but failed to find an alternative candidate. There’s got to be a conservative in SC who can challenge him in the primaries next time around...there just has to be.
Most likely the Democrats will be in such sorry shape after 2010 that a new party “Progressives” will emerge and Gomer will then decide he can go to them without being a turncoat and jumping to the faltering Dems.
Can’t we just get along; we’re just one big tent, really. Let’s reach across the aisle...ya’ll just don’t get it and aren’t smart enough to understand how to get stuff done here inside the beltline. Ya’ll think you have it tough back at home in South Carolina, shoot, I have to work with young interns, have to wait in line for my free haircut - you just don’t know how hard it is.
Good for them. All politics is local and it should stay that way.
However, it stands in stark contrast to his usual, despicable/McCain-in-Training, behavior.
Obamacare is so bad that even this RINO stands up against it.
>> The post does not use the correct headline <<
Yeah, but with the correct headline it probably wouldn’t qualify for “breaking news.”
Does Rep. Joe Wilson ring a bell?
Too bad he won’t be up for re-election until 2012.
Now start a recall drive.
Where was he last year? last year he was re-elected with 69% of the vote...after calling everyone opposed to amnesty bigots. He should never have made it rto the nomination but he did. I believe the same thing will happen next time around.
Go, SC! Go get ‘em.
I have a feeling that “Lovable Lindsey” found this all amusing, like the determined farmer who locks the barn door after the horse flees into the night.
ButtMunch Graham has been running continuous ads here in Charleston area, touting himself as a great green energy/tax/crap hero! Ugghh...the 08 US Senate/SC election choices were:
BM Graham, maybe mod Dim/PelosiRat, Write in Mickey Mouse, or leave blank.
Even if done, such a law would not be recognized by the U.S. Senate; nor would a term-limits law for that matter either. People in SC like long-term incumbents, and he could be around for a near eternity.
It’s 2014.
Any way to recall the sombitch?
Lindsay Graham became a hero during Clinton’s impeachment hearings - then something happened.
Perhaps he is pandering to the influx of Northern Liberal retirees who have moved and registered to vote in South Carolina.

But the influx of northeastern retirees to the coastal “Low Country” and of younger transplants to growing upstate job centers such as Greenville is changing things.
[COUNTY Republican Party Leaders Censure Sen. Graham.]
Better? Sorry that the word COUNTY wasn’t included.
He was just recently reelected, The Republican Party did a good job of clearing the primary slate for him. None of the states top republicans would challenge him. He was easy pickings too.
has a lifetime conservative voting record of 90 percent and last year was rated the 15th most conservative senator by National Journal.
"Like former President Reagan, he strongly believes elected officials need to find common ground and work together to solve difficult problems like making our nation energy-independent and protecting our environment," Graham's spokesman Kevin Bishop said
OK, he supports his party on the majority of relatively minor issues but when it come s to gravely important matters he deserts his party and sides with the opposition.
Yes he is a great Republican stalwart.
Now Rush can refer to him as “The Censured Senator Lindsey Grahamnesty” lol!!
Thank you mod for correcting my title in this thread.
Other states have laws that allow for this and so should South Carolina. If enacted into state law, and if an actual recall drive met the requirements set forth by the law, then it wouldn’t really matter what the US Senate, lindsay or Zero thought of it. A special election WOULD take place and a replacement WOULD be elected and sent to the US Senate. Any “difficulties” with the US Senate after that point would be icing on the cake.
That femme Goober has been drifting slowly to the left for some time now. I read once that he said he was ‘republican by day, democrat by night’.
Apology accepted. Now let's just hope the next headline will say, "STATE Republican Party Leaders Censure Sen. Graham." That would be breaking news of the best sort!
.
MEEEEEEEEEEEE to South Carolina ,,,,,,, GET RID OF HIM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe all those Tea Parties and the recent election finally kicked the sleeping elephant awake.
If so, keep kicking or the Ole pachyderm will snooze off again.
GRAMNESTY was a MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FAILURE NODE TO McPAIN’S FAILED CAMPAIGN ALONG WITH McPAIN CHOOSING A MAJOR DEMORAT STRATEGIST AS HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER!!! THEN THE RNC PROCEEDS TO ELECT STEELE TO THE CHAIRMANSHOP!! GEEEEEEZZZ!
SC RHINO bump
I get a little (OK, a lot) POed at politicians that claim to have to find middle ground.
Take Gun control - one side is “ban all guns” the other is “no more laws”. Middle ground is moving from “:no more laws” to only a few more, and a few more, and a few more, and a few more.
Keep finding middle ground and you’re simply moving to the left at a slower pace.
He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994 so he was a back bencher when the impeachment hearing got under way.
Being involved deeply in the impeachment was a way to get noticed and get lots of press coverage.
Then there is the effect of being in Washington for an extended period of time. The longer that a politician is there the easier it seems to be for them to surrender their principles for political expediency, campaign contributions and good press.
