(And even if he was, Chafee would be much, much, much worse.)
The problem with that statement is: We didn't elect Graham by comparison, we elected him because he claimed to be a conservative.
To: Leapfrog
Ha, I was going to say the same thing...

I'm ticked that Graham signed that legislation McCain wrote about terrorist interrogations. He's basically useless, imo.

[My least favorite Republican Senator] is Lindsey Graham, and by a decent margin. Today, the Senator told conservative critics of the Miers nomination to "shut up
So when is this giant douche up for re-election?

2008. And there are rumblings to get Thomas Ravenel to challenge him in the primary. Whom I will campaign and work for if he runs. Heck there are Reps here in SC that say they will vote for the Dem instead of Graham cause they are so ticked at him.

Lindsey GrahamMine are Mike Dewine and George Voinovich.
To: Frank T
Graham said, shut up and give the lady a chance.
It was part of a longer argument.
Let's not jump on his case until we hear the entire segment.

Graham, like Miers, still considered himself a Democrat as late as 1988-90. He only became a Republican after he left the Air Force, got back to South Carolina, and discovered that the Reagan phenomenon had swept through South Carolina and drastically altered the political dynamics for electability.
He considered himself a conservative Democrat, mind you, but a Democrat nonetheless. I think he personally identifies with Miers for that reason.

It is with great pleasure that I once again write:
Lindsey is up for election in 2008. It is my fervent hope that by early 2009 he is known as a "Senate one-termer."
I will actively campaign for who ever runs against him the the (R) primary. I really hope he looses there.

What is puzzling is why does South Carolina have such a weak conservative as one of its two senators? Perhaps we could expect this from a New England Republican, regarding judicial nominations, but from Strom Thurmond's predesessor?
Who knew?
I hope he has a challenge in the primary.
He is not very popular down here.

Today, the Senator told conservative critics of the Miers nomination to "shut up," and claimed that their opposition has nothing to do with Miers, but is just an effort to obtain 15 minutes of fame He's right. Every senator, talking head, even a house member who has no vote (Tancredo) are trying desperately to get their 15 minutes.
To: Leapfrog
John McCain is my most despised RINO, Senate, House, or 7-11.

My prediction is that Graham loses his job anyway. Not based on the outcome of Miers' confirmation, but due to his total betrayal of the people in SC.Ravenel in '08 for SC Senate.
