When Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul launched an ad campaign against Democrats who opposed his proposal to end foreign aid to Libya, Egypt and Pakistan, Graham took the unusual step of defending the Democrats from a fellow Republican.

I remember some years back when TX Senator, Kay Bailey Hutchison [R] refused to help Republican candidates running against sitting U.S. Senate women Democrats. A despicable practice of the "my friend" bs espoused and practiced in a chamber that describes itself as "the greatest deliberative body in the world."

When we reelected Pansey we knew then the senate races were going to be a problem,(turns out it was even worse with the Dems getting their “60.”), so we only saw his “R” and had to disregard his creeping liberalism.
We have been getting ragged about it in conservative circles ever since even though we gave America Jim DeMint.

There was no SC TEA party in 2008—there is now and Grahamnesty will be announcing his retirement or switch ala Arlen Spector, to the Democrat Party next year.

And you can take THAT to the bank!

Both graham and mccain have needed gone for years, but they play the same game. Liberal as all hell for five years, and Sudden Conservative Syndrome hits them around election time. How they keep pulling it off, I will never know.

The folks in SC better wake up to the fact that they cannot trust either party.

They must find people, regardless of party “affiliation”, who are honest, trustworthy, well informed citizens who are willing to take time out of their lives for the benefit of their country.

Homo boy disgraces SC every time he opens his mouth. One of the most venerable, conservative states, with signors on the Declaration of Independence, represented publicly by a RINO gay dandy. Beyond comprehension. Get rid of that mess.

TERM LIMITS, TERM LIMITS, TERM LIMITS.

All elected Gubmint officials, Agency heads and senior employees should be term limited. Salaries and benefits need to be reduced based on the state of the economy.

Failure should factor into their income. Has anyone left The WH or Congress poorer than when they arrived?

Graham is one of those cases where I think a Tea Party challenge is worth the gamble. It would be one thing if he were representing a squishy-to-blue state ala Scott Brown. You aren’t going to elect better in Massachusetts than a guy like Brown. South Carolina isn’t Massachusetts, though, and I’m of the opinion the voters can elect whole a lot better than Lindsay Graham in their state.

“Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is another possible challenger.”

You gotta be f-—g kidding me. Mark Sanford?! someone has the ‘nads to put his name in the hat? Isn’t he busy hanging out in Argentina with his new who-er? Sure. Why not? I mean, if it feels good - do it, right? Just the kind of message we need to go with in SC.

If Grahamnesty and Lamar Alexander can be thrown out in 2014 I will be happy. (Not that there aren’t others than need to be thrown out too. I just can’t stomach these two any longer.)

I am no defender of Graham, but there is one alternative theory worth considering. It has merit, IMHO, given that there appears to be no valid reason for Graham to stick his head so far out on the chopping block.

GOP prospects for the taking the Senate don't look as good as a few months ago ( though I personally think that they will win the majority. McConnell is going nuts; he'd already started picking out the drapes and furniture for the majority leader's office. Manchin will win, though WV is now pretty much solid Republican..this is the last hurrah for statewide Dems. WV is about one electoral cycle behind Arkansas in this regard..

They're working out a deal, in secret for Manchin to change parties after the election. Remember Ben Nighthorse-Campbell? Could be the same scenario.

Rockefeller will retire..he won't run in 2014 and risk defeat. Capito will run for the Senate. Graham is the point man for brokering the deal, and he felt the need to give Manchin some cover.

So why is Graham risking his career. Easy..he's not going to run in 2014. He's probably seen polls..if not commissioned them, showing that he'd lose against one or more of SC GOP congressmen. Personally, I'd love to see Tim Scott in the Senate.

Mitt will win, and appoint Graham to a major post in the administration. I think he would do a superb job as VA head.

And this would let Gov Haley appt the next senator, and thus avoid a bruising primary.

Bookmark this, y'all..you read it here first.
