“Only Independents Can Fix Us...”
(paraphrased)
********************

I’m afraid this pvke is correct!

I agree with him.

[ThomasMore]

He said it’s up to the voters to let their members of Congress know enough is enough

Yes! We've had enough. More than enough of your RINO bull$hit. Time for you to step down for a real conservative Senator.

[sgtyork]

Only the country class — as opposed to the “ruling class” can fix it.

[kjo]

When are the voters of SC going to get rid of this guy?

I live in Michigan...I can understand a politician like this getting elected here...we have dozens of stupid representives.

I thought SC was a bastion of conservatism? What’s going on down there?

[Farmer Dean]

Lindsey has never learned the value of just keeping his mouth shut.

[Paleo Conservative]

Lindsey Graham needs to be fixed.

"Only Independents Can Fix the Political System"

That leaves you out, Flimsy Gramm.

You're beholden to the racist marxist machine.

[Soothesayer]

If the Republican party can’t be salvaged then yes.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You’re joking, right?

[savedbygrace]

Graham is 100% wrong. The road to tyranny is paved with compromises

[freedomfiter2]

Good, leave the GOP and start an independent party.

[McGruff]

South Carolina. Send this RINO packing.

[Captain Kirk]

He had a Ron Paul Democrat opposing him last time but everybody here still rallied to Gomer Graham. Are those folks happy now?

[whitedog57]

The REAL answer is that no one can change the system and cut expenditures.

Why?

Because the Dems will rally their parasites and vote out anyone that votes for a reduction in spending and entitlements.

Even if the Dems did it (doubtful), the Repubs would scream about entitlement cuts, etc.

It has to blow up and there is no stopping it.

[goseminoles]

I think some extreme viewpoints help swing the pendulum back to some sort of normalcy. It happens about every 30 years with douchebag libs. Independents serve a purpose. I would tend to think tea partiers are more independent and right of right.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Depends on which way those independents lean. I think we have had enough of the left leaner's, if it weren't for them we would have had a different outcome in the last Presidential election.

[BigBobber]

“If we keep yelling at each other,” said Graham, “if we keep just saying no to each other’s ideas we’re going to have one thing in common. We’re going nowhere together.”

Why do these elitist clowns think we need to "go somewhere". Despite multitudes of manufactured crises designed to push a big government agenda, things were pretty good in this country, especially compared to the rest of the world. Their goal is to bring down the lifestyles of Americans to match the rest of the world, leaving an elitist ruling class at the top whose lifestyle is very good indeed.

Lindsey, we know where you want to take us, and we ain't going.

[goseminoles]

I would tend to think Freepers are on that fringe of conservatism that is not in line with mainstream Republican. If they weren’t, you would see “rino” thrown around so much.
We can be registered republican and have independant thought that is more convervative than the base. It helps bring issues and ideologies back in our favor.
