COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The crowd at South Carolina's Republican convention cheered Saturday when former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney criticized a new immigration proposal and booed a key ally of U.S. Sen. John McCain when he defended it.
The immigration compromise between key senators and the White House played strongly at the convention as more than 1,000 delegates and Republican activists gathered. Many in the crowd wore stickers with "Senate amnesty bill" crossed out.

The crowd booed South Carolina U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a key ally of McCain in both his 2000 and 2008 presidential bids, when he said he had worked with U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., on the immigration legislation.
"It's the best bill I think we can get to President Bush," Graham said as some in the crowd shouted "No!"

After the speech, Graham said he was booed on immigration because "it's an emotional topic. People are mad."

I see the subversives are back.
bttt
I’m thinking of moving to SC just so I can help vot Graham out of office.
Sweetheart, if the GOP nominates the likes of McCain or Giuliani, if won’t need subversives to undermine it.
I hope you know I agree with you absolutely!!! totally!!! completely!!!
The day the government announces that the SS checks are no longer coming out due to the system breakdown is the day all these pols will have to have body guards 24/7. There will be no hiding.
Saxby Chambliss should be replaced with somebody whose judgment is not open to question. Cain would be a fine replacement.
You can just hear Cain saying to Chambliss: "I'm not questioning your patriotism. I'm questioning your judgment," as the people of Georgia nod in agreement.
You're damn straight we can and we should. This is one of the core issues of our lifetime and they are not listening to their constituents.
Honey, that’s not going to happen. Don’t worry your little head about it.
Of course you will be welcome to our hospitality, but I have a feeling that we will take care of “ol’ light in the loafers” all by ourselves.
I’ve never worked on a campaign before, but I will work for whoever challenges Graham in the future...even a Democrat.
“It’s the best bill I think we can get to President Bush,” Graham said.
Then try taking your head out of you @ss and re-think the issue, traitor.
Thanks, I feel so much better; you obviously have more faith in the stupid party than I.
Im with you.I have called their offices and asked for their resignations.Im sure those words never reached them. Some conservatives.
No, it's not one issue.
It's a culmination of feckless, gutless, spineless, immoral GOP leadership, craven power mongering and complete disregard for the base that put them in office in the first place.
Screw them.
It's high time the people of this country, that make the wheels spin, took back control of our party and country.
If that means bringing their little house of cards down and rebuilding from bottom up, so be it.
We are ALREADY IGNORED and MARGIANLIZED
Damn it, what will it take for you people to realize it is time to fight for our country and if that means throwing out our own trash first, Oh well.
Graham should be glad he wasn't pelted with rotten fruit
I voted for Herman Cain and Issacson.Too bad Cain didnt win.I bet he will this time around if he runs.
Or Romney (beware of his liberal-views Sheeps (Wolf) clothing..if you get what I am trying to tell you).
This is what I tell people: NO Bill is better than a bad bill.
And that's something else we're going to take back, too. I'm in a Blue Republican state, not some damnable newspeak CommieRodent Red. Take that mother*ucking Satanic color and stick it where the sun don't shine, along with idiot Conservative Republicans for swallowing it.
