(CNN) – South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham has always enjoyed a little back-and-forth with belligerent audiences.
He was at it again on Monday night as he faced down an angry town hall crowd in Greenville packed with libertarians and Tea Party activists who accused at the Republican senator of ditching conservative principles by working with Democrats on issues like climate change and voting to send Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.
But Graham stressed a mantra he's repeated many times since his friend John McCain lost the presidential election last November — that the GOP must reach out to different constituencies, or face extinction.
"I'm not going to leave the Republican Party," Graham said when one questioned asked him why he hasn't yet joined the Democrats. "I'm going to grow it. We're not going to be the party of angry white guys."
His comments were met with a salvo of boos and shouts of "Ron Paul!"

To: GoldStandard
Goober so needs to be voted out of office.
To: Gene Eric
The S.C. Republicans choose to keep Graham in office. Why? Did they, or did the news media just switch the names when they reported the voting?

No, Graham. You’re the party of ‘political pantywaists’ at the mo. I hope your ‘hips’ get voted out, soon. I’ve never trusted a man with hips and a lisp.

Considering what is happening to our country, “angry” is the sanest of emotions.....

Graham: GOP 'not going to be the party of angry white guys' What's the little fairy trying to do to us now?
Talk about fanning the flames of racism.
GTH...Lindsey.

We’d LOVE to vote his candy-*ss out, but he just recently (2008) got re-elected.
At least we’ve got Jim DeMint to balance him out.
