“Kick the RINO bastard OUT!”

Along with the other RINO’s! We want our country back and the freedoms we used to enjoy and/or took for granted.

O’Donnell and Miller were not good candidates. Sharon Angle was and aquitted herself quite well in the campaign and debate. Such is life.

I can’t stand Graham BUT he is right we chose crappy candidates in Nevada colarado And delaware. Let’s be honest. I still hope he loses when up for re-election but we should have had 3 more seats.

I have to disagree with you and Senator Graham.

The candidates were elected by the people in those states in legitimate primaries, and it was the GOP-E that let them down, right along with the Beltway pundits who managed to nationalize the campaigns while bashing the candidates and the TEA Party.

Sharron Angle was a fine conservative candidate and she wiped the floor with Reid in their debate, but union thugs and fraud came through for Reid on election day.

Notice there was no mention of Joe Miller in Alaska? That seat should have gone to him in a breeze, but there again, the GOP-E failed him, when it didn't rein-in the loser Murkowski in the legitimate GOP primary.

Voters and the GOP-E had better get a grip and smarten-up because 2012 is our last chance to save and resotre our Republic and we're not going to be able to do it with RINOS, moderates or democrats.

My theory is that he is either a eunuch or misogynist.

re: Graham is seen as a possible incumbent who might face a primary from a Tea Party type when he's up for reelection in South Carolina in 2014.

AND YOU AIN'T JUST WHISTLIN' DIXIE!!!!

His arrogance is breathtaking, isn't it?

And the thing is, he comes from a modest and challenging background. His folks died, he raised his sister and belonged to a small-town law firm in Seneca, South Carolina. He served in the military in the military courts.

Not much family, but you'd think he was a Kennedy or a Bush from the airs he puts on.

I agree. They voted for McCain in the primary.

Actually, the poorest choice was from the SC voters in the previous election. He should have been taken out right then! I seriously doubt he’ll succeed “next” time ... the Tea Party has him in their sites!

Hey! One DeMint makes up for TEN Grahams!

And how many other states or commonwealths have even a half of a DeMint?

Graham used his GOP elite RINO buddies to make sure there would be no primary challenger and the Dems ran a REAL loser against him.
There was no Tea Party then.

We try to tell him to STFU but he doesn't care what his constituents say—but things have changed and we WILL primary his fairy fanny out of power come 2014.

“..he comes from a modest and challenging background. ..”

Maybe so. But you’d never know it.

“...but you’d think he was a Kennedy or a Bush from the airs he puts on...”

All I know is he needs to have the electorate’s collective boot planted firmly and seiftly in his ass come next election cycle.

Hopefully, the people of SC come to their senses and throw him to the gutter, and put a good Southern conservative in that seat.

The RINO purge needs to continue.

What I’d also like to see is a Commie purge from the Democrat party as well - maybe get them back to being a loyal American oppositionpolitical party. I know, I know...wont happen in my lifetime, but it would be nice. They’re too far gone for that.

Graham won’t like the GOP choice of primary rival for his seat either.

The graham is cracker.

There is no “we” about it. The people chose those candidates and will again, whether this village idiot Graham approves or not.
