I’d take Rumsfeld over Grahamnesty any day.

For example, Grahamnesty voted for Sotomayor— hard to imagine Rummy doing that.

With Republicans like Graham, Snowe, Collins, McCain, Gregg, etc. The Democrats really have a 70-30 majority in the Senate.

Republicans lost the Congress & 2008 election because of Graham & his pal McCain.

Grahamnesty is a media whore. If there’s a camera or a reporter around he’s going to make sure he’s the one they talk to.

Rummy is a great American from the old school and IMO much maligned. Lindsy couldn't shine his shoes.

The sad part is he was just re-elected. He's got another five years on his "contract" Way to go, SC!

Grahamnesty. Should have guessed. Thought it might have been Martinez or McCain.

McCain is running for re-election and will remain relatively quiet until after November 2010, except for the days that he forgets to take his Aricept...lest he give Simcox fodder to use against him.

Instead we should do a “Lindsey”....and allow as many drug-dealers enter our border so that we do not upset those already here illegally.

Lindsey Graham follows the NeoCon doctrine of foreign policy.

I’m aware. But it seems like this is the sort of comment McCain normally delivers. Perhaps McCain gave it to Grahamnesty to use.
