Who are your senators?

CA: All commie all the time. Sorry.... But I've voted straight R...when there's been one worth voting for. I think we're all in desperate trouble.

[JerryP]

SC voters had a chance last year to replace Graham but instead they reelected him. Obviously he is doing something right by them.

[JerryP]

The fact that Conley was a Ron Paul Democrat is argument enough in itself to have supported Graham.

[Kenny]

As far as I can tell, he’s up for reelection in 2008. Let’s find someone to run against him and send them money. That’s the only way to stop these people is to quit acting like they’re Republicans and cut them off, period!

[SoConPubbie]

Who is a socialist, big government evangelist in drag? A RINO.

I didn't know he was a preacher?

I think you meant evangelical.

Most evangelicals, and furthermore, actual Christians, no more support Big Government than they support abortion.

Furthermore, you, the GOP, and conservatives are going nowhere without social conservatives.

[SoConPubbie]

Well said. Glenn Beck was right. It wouldn't have been any better (and in some ways worse) if McCain had won. Please note that folks here used the same arguments to justify support for McCain in November as the used for Graham, when his opponent was a Ron Paul Democrat.

Is this the same Ron Paul that regularly attaches Riders containing pork for his district to bills he is voting against because he knows the bill is going to pass?

That ethical-giant Ron Paul?

[SoConPubbie]

Some of us urged that folks here support the Ron Paul Democrat who ran against him in November but were shot down by those who said that Republicans “had” to control the Senate.

If you argue that for any reason it is the right thing to support a Democrat, you don't belong on this web-site.

You are giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

[SoConPubbie]

Some of us urged that folks here support the Ron Paul Democrat who ran against him in November but were shot down by those who said that Republicans “had” to control the Senate.

Furthermore, for someone who is supposed to represent "Ron Paul"'s principles to be a democrat really says some bad things about Ron Paul given the positions of the Democrats, if he really represents Ron Paul's principles.

[50cal Smokepole]

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., co-authored an op-ed with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., in The New York Times calling for action on legislation.

Sheesh, didn't even make it past the second sentence. Told me all I needed to know. Goober + Kerry (he served in Viet Nam) = friggin' disaster.

[Lancey Howard]

That simple p.o.s. has got to go.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I wonder who “bought” Lindsey on this one. My guess G.E. They wrote “Crap & Trade, anyway.

[SeattleBruce]

He’s trying to out-McCain McCain.
+++++++++++++

When will he announce his candidacy for POTUS?

[SeattleBruce]

Vote for the RNC = Frying Pan

Vote for Democrats = Fire

Vote for 3rd Party Conservatives = a principled choice, however slim, for limited, Constitutional Government.
+++++++++++++++

Lose
Lose
Lose

Win: Vote for Conservative Rs, while forcing the R party toward conservatives.

3rd parties have not, and will not work.

In the history of the United States, not a single third party has come close to winning the presidency, only 7 3rd parties have even won a single state’s electoral votes and only 5 third parties have won even 10% of the vote.

[SeattleBruce]

They are Republican-Americans.
+++++++++++++++

Descriptive term. Of course the Rats don’t even want to be known as Americans.

[mojitojoe]

Why do they keep electing this traitor? I think both parties have been infiltrated by Marxist thugs. I really do.

[Captain Kirk]

If you argue that for any reason it is the right thing to support a Democrat, you don't belong on this web-site.

This is a site to promote limited government not a site to slavishly support a single party. Perhaps you need to start a "Lindsay Graham Loyalty" site of your own.

[cgbg]

Captain:

Sc voters need a five year long memory.

“Revenge is a dish best served cold.”

:-)

The only global warming I am seeing is a lot of hot air in DC.

[TigersEye]

Of course the Rats don’t even want to be known as Americans.

Actually they do. They want to promote their views as what being American really is and they have been very successful at it. In large part because RINOs don't present any resistance to their POV. The public gets a choice between Democrat Party loyalty or Republican Party loyalty. American loyalty is seldom offered as a political choice.

[SeattleBruce]

B: Of course the Rats don’t even want to be known as Americans.

TE: Actually they do.
++++++++++++

Let me refine my comment a bit. Rats don't want to identify themselves with patriotism, or patriotic Americans, the way that conservatives traditionally view American patriotism.

They would, as you suggest, like to redefine Americanism or patriotism as Democrat party defined ‘tolerance’ and ‘bleeding heart liberalism’ (read socialism/radicalism).

**********************

American loyalty is seldom offered as a political choice.
+++++++++++

Perhaps not in the past, but more and more now, it seems, we're seeing two pretty dichotomous views.

[TigersEye]

I agree. I hope more in the GOP will stand up and support a more rigorous view of conservatism. So far most of the energy seems to reside mostly amongst the rank and file.
