It's hard to imagine a Republican more useless than South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham. Whether he's spearheading legislation that would grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, stumping for the $787 billion taxpayer robbery known as TARP, being the lone GOP committee member to confirm liberal Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor, or partnering with John Kerry to promote cap-and-trade, Graham has never been a friend to conservatives.
And yet in 2008, Graham was reelected in the deeply red state of South Carolina over a Democratic candidate, Bob Conley, who staunchly opposed amnesty and TARP and was well to the right of Lindsey in almost every respect. Many dubbed Conley a "Ron Paul Democrat," because of his support for the Texas Congressman during the Republican presidential primary. In that senatorial contest, the conservative "D" lost to the liberal "R" as a simple result of party affiliation. Rest assured, Lindsey Graham would like to keep things this way.

The RINO vs. the kook.
Is “none of the above” on the ballot?
No more JUANnabies.
God help us if either one of these morons control the GOP.
Well, there is former Republican Arlen Specter, the weak sisters from Maine and his mentor Juan McCain, but I don't consider the title of "4th Most Useless Republican Senator" to be a particularly great honor either.
I’m wondering if at this juncture in time, we couldn’t use a complete nutburger who would be willing to wield the Executive Order like a ninja sword - to undo the large swath of damage that’s been done to our Country and it’s Constitution.
Well, less anyone wonder why the GOP has lost its way, this thread should be a required read by all...
Grahmnesty most definitely needs to loose.
Paul would be fine for his smaller government stance, but he has some other wacky ideas that I really don’t want in play with anyone in charge.
What happened to Coburn or somebody with an idea or who has their wits about them.
what if you can’t stand either one?
Aww jeez can’t they both lose?
Oops, “lest” for “less”. Duh.
what if you can’t stand either one?
Popcorn..check. Raisinettes..check. Coke..check.
"the kook" just might be the lunatic we're looking for!
Paul might be a little confused about our foreign enemies but he can see for miles and miles concerning our much more dangerous domestic enemy.
Tom Coburn is a good choice to lead the party. Everyone should read his book “Breach of Trust: How Washington Turns Outsiders into Insiders”.
Paul or Lindsey, what a choice! Two nuts from opposite sides of the spectrum, that’s the best we can do? Then we are (if possible)in even in deeper $#!+ than I thought!
