The Worst Republican Senator

Chuch Hagel, Dick Lugar, Snarlin’ Arlen, Stevens...the list is about 44 strong! Only Jon Kyl and Cornyn come to mind as being any good.

I voted for this loser. Proudly, because at the time, he was (or looked like) a real conservative. I don’t think I’ve ever been more wrong, or more sad about a vote.

There was a controversy right before Graham got elected...the head cheese Rat in South Carolina, a guy with the unlikely name of Dick Harpootlian, set off a bit of a firestorm when during an interview, he said that Graham was “light in the loafers.” Well, maybe Dicky knew what he was talking about...

Maybe he’s light in the loafers too......

You know, I am always surprised at the lack of mud slinging when it comes to Graham-nasty. Why is there no research into his background of having never been married or his preference for either men or women. Normally if you are a republican, this sort of stuff would have been fair game and he would have been outed a long time ago.

Hmmmmmm....I wonder why???? Could it be that those in power in the Dem party who are in charge of the mud slinging don't bother because they know Graham-nasty is a Dem too?

[org.whodat]

I agree he's a turd in a punchbowl... but we do owe him a 'thank you' for Clarence Thomas.

A note mailed to his SC home address would do, and hope he moves there to get it!

Lindsey is bad, but what about Spector?

[tobyhill]

Susan Collins has my vote with Snowe and Hagel tied for a close second.

[MissMagnolia]

Have we, the People, totally surrendered our power? We need to quit whining & throw the bum out.

"The power under the Constitution will always be in the People. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their Interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their Servants can, and undoubtedly will be, recalled." (George Washington, Nov. 10, 1787)

“Only Jon Kyl and Cornyn come to mind as being any good.”

Kyl and to a lesser extent Cornyn both sponsored pro-illegal alien bills.

[vietvet67]

And Spector wants to hold congressional hearings on the New England Patriots filming of the opposition team.

Goofball..

[reagan_fanatic]

To pick one republican Senator as the worst does a great disservice to all the others who so richly deserve that title.

[shortstop]

Florida’s Mel Martinez gets my vote for he worst Senator. If he runs again, this maybe the first time I ever vote for a Dem.

[Ann Archy]

geesh...Kyl has apologized somewhat for that.

[MSF BU]

He comes off as a pansy; regardless of whether he’s actually “Light in the Loafers” (i.e. a sodomite). The question is, can he be taken out the same way that Gilchrest was in Maryland?

[Dante3]

McCain is the worst - amnesty fanatic, CFR, etc. He voted against the Cronyn amendment, one of only ten GOP senators who did this. In addition, he has missed more votes than anyone else - except for one senator who was in a coma. The job has been too demanding for him to handle.

[Sprite518]

Yes exactly what the Framers of the US Constitution had in mind. LOL!

[cbkaty]

Where to start...hmmmm...Arlan Sphincter produces a vivid pictorial image?

[Henchster]

You nailed it. The hags from Maine take the cake, with Sister-Stupid Susan Collins getting the gold for consistently voting whichever way her RINO mentor Olympia Snowe does. Talk about Dumb-and-Dumber!

[MBB1984]

I'd have to give it to Graham over all others for a number of reasons. First, Graham ran as a hard conservative—Spector has always been a RINO. Second, we could easily elect a true conservative in South Carolina absent the incumbent Graham. In most of the blue states it is doubtful that we could do better.

[USMCGunnut]

Well, you are not alone. I voted for the scum too. Fooled me once, shame on him. Come November there wont be a second time. Time to right a wrong and throw out the trash in SC. I will say, he is not alone by a long shot. The senate as a whole is stinking pile of filth. Republican or Dem.
