Graham, who has consistantly voted 90% conservative his entire career, led the fight to impeach Clinton on this board when useless RINOs elsewhere were running away with their tail tugged behind their legs after the election. Many Republican Congressman had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the chamber to vote for impeachmenent once wimpy "censure" was eliminated. Clinton and his goons vowed to do everything in their power to defeat the house managers for re-election. At the time, Graham was hailed as a hero on FR, and now "conservatives" spit on him for his courage.

Do I consider leading the fight to impeach the fight popularly elected POTUS in American history to be more noteworthy than voting the 'wrong' way on judges or detainees? You bet I do.

Find me someone else in South Carolina who's did something even more courgeous, and votes conservative more than 90% of the time, and you'll have a better Senate candidate. Good luck.

Amazing what short term memory people have on FR. It turns out the Clintonites were right all along-- conservatives easily forget.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. Everything Lindsey Graham has done is to position himself for a future run for the presidency (or vice presidency). It's not just the gang of 14 thing although that was certainly a harsh surprise to me. He's repeatedly thwarted the President on trying to fight the WOT. I don't particularly care about anyone's ACU rating. Lindsey is better than a dem. But his past performance as a representative isn't reflective of his career as a senator.
