CHARLESTON, S.C. – Republican leaders in a South Carolina county have censured their own U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for working with Democrats on a climate bill and other legislation.

The Republican has often worked with Democrats in Congress, but Charleston County Chairwoman Lin Bennett says his work on climate legislation is the last straw.

The party resolution passed Monday says Graham has weakened the Republican brand. Bennett expects a similar resolution to be introduced at the state GOP convention next year.

weakened the Republican brand?

he had a lot of help.

[jdsteel]

Well, it’s a start at least.

Gotta start somewhere. Lindsey certainly deserves it and is as good a place to start as any.

[NormsRevenge]

Tidal basin fever?

He was a lead Congresional prosecutor/investigator during the Clinton scandal years.

Sad to see him wimpify. He's no Strom.
(which may or may not be good in and of itself. but..)

He’s a slimeball

[Sir Beowolf]

Thank You SC, Keep up the pressure!

[pissant]

Seems to me that the much ballyhoo’d Mark Sanford is a global warming stooge as well

[BubbaBasher]

If he could ever get his head out McCain’s a$$ he might see straight. How far he has fallen. I met him at the Freeper’s Dinner for the House Impeachment Team. I felt honored at the time. I doubt I would shake his hand now. Who knows where it’s been?

Wow! This must be another of those "vicious attacks" by the GOP that I've been hearing about...

It's about time.

This is great news, I think party leaders are waking up to what will keep them in office and put them back in power.

[K-oneTexas]

Goobber didn’t do it alone. What are the other States going to offer up against their transgressors!

[AreaMan]

But...but...but...he has a rating of 89.97% From the American Conservative Union, how could this be?

Senate Ratings

What really ticks me off is the commentators like Michael Medved will whip this rating out when people complain about him and others like him (McCain, et al) being moderates or betraying conservatives.

What the hell good is a rating like this if just ONE vote on one piece of legislation can send the country off on a leftward tangent and increase the power the federal gov. forever.

[stockpirate]

bump for later

[uncbob]

I guess he is getting ready to switch parties

[Maverick68]

He reminds me of Moustache Guy from Family Guy..

[elk]

I hope this is a harbinger of good things to come for America.

[TigersEye]

Excellent! Slap that RINO down.

[Bulldawg Fan]

They just reelected this idiot to the US Senate.

[wally_bert]

Glad someone in my state is trying to do something to Grahamnesty.

[Sir Beowolf]

By keeping the Pressure on. Phone Calls, Faxes, and Email and with every town hall. The most powerful weapon the Vote

[Dick Bachert]

Hey, all you incredibly dumb and uninformed Americans, I’m Lindsey Graham. I’m a really, really, REALLY smart lawyer from South Carolina.

Because I am from South Carolina, some of you uninformed BIGOTS might call me a “cracker.”

Actually, that suits me just fine because that would make me a Graham Cracker. So if you don’t like my position (often bent over Algore’s or Harry Reid’s desk) on globull warming, immigration or those OTHER unimportant issues you can

BITE ME!

[The Comedian]

Another alien pod replacement. Apparently Linds fell asleep next to the wrong vegetable right after the Clinton impeachment (when he was still human), and hasn't been worth a damn ever since.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

[Feline_AIDS]

Yeah if they don’t stop running “tell Lindsay Graham thanks for wanting to bring clean energy jobs to south carolina” ads on the radio, I’m going to throw it out the window.

But then I’ll need a new radio. So instead I’ll just seriously consider throwing it out the window.

[IrishCatholic]

At least somewhere in the Republican party they still have a little lead in their pencils.

[exit82]

Someone has something on him.

[Circle_Hook]

He prolly had a tryst with with a JOHN from Barney Frank Boyfriend’s Male escort service!

[submarinerswife]

WooHoo Now if we can get Dorchester County and the rest to push the state Gov’t to do the same thing......

[Ichoosefreedom]

Well, good for them. It’s about time something is done with these representatives of ours who do things for themselves and not for the wishes of the people they represent. Most of these people have forgotten why they were elected and now, finally, they will be getting wake-up calls.

A new graphic for your consideration Rabs, use it far and wide if it appeals to you:

Perfect photo!

Saved for future smackdown.

Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop says Graham is looking for a way forward on energy legislation.

He is unfazed and couldn't care less about censure, it seems. But I'm glad the SC GOP has done the right thing.

[VRWC For Truth]

Closet queen

[tioga]

(snicker) pingie

[wally_bert]

I hate those ads. They are so insulting.

[naguszed]

I want to move to South Carolina.

[Sir Beowolf]

We are not a Graham style of the GOP, Principles not Party

[upchuck]

Gramensty, ya need to quit screwing around with the RATS. Yeah I know you're hoping for some conciliation on offshore drilling. They may promise that to you but it'll never happen. But, wait, I forgot, you enjoy being used as a tool.
