Graham to constituents: 'Chill out' [tells constituents who oppose his bipartisanship to 'leave']
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2009-10-13 | Christina Wilkie

Posted on 10/13/2009 5:02:53 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) had some frank words for constituents who attended a town hall meeting Monday in Greenville: "chill out."

According to The State, the centrist Republican lawmaker used the slang phrase repeatedly in response to combative and often accusatory comments made by audience members, most of whom represented far-right viewpoints. Attendees shouted, jeered, and waved anti-government signs at the senator throughout the meeting, but Graham was unperturbed. After explaining that bipartisan compromise is a crucial part of the political process, Graham finished by saying, "If you don't like it, you can leave."

Same here. Why don’t the republicans have any leaders who
can be conservative all the time and take the bulk of the
party in the right direction? They get no money from me.
I support individuals.

He’s the one republican who voted against the one impeachment charge that would have sunk Clinton. I started my disgust for him at that moment.

It’s time for a real third party. Rush keeps hinting at it.

Give him the boot next time around. The man has obviously become a potomaholic. You can’t cure the addicted. All you can do is quit sending them to Washington.

South Carolina conservatives: I believe the gauntlet has been thrown. Lindsey is basically saying he doesn’t need you. Show him.

Agree! I do support any conservative in the party but I think it’s time to have a conservative party. Any conservative in the Republican party is welcome to join. Lindsey needs to go. Now is there a good conservative candidate in SC that can run against him.

Retire McCain next year...or we will all have to deal with 4+ years of McCain *and* Graham, not to mention that two or more of those years will also involve Zero.

I really think that politician like Graham and McCain do not fully comprehend the Marxist nature of Obama and dangerous his agenda to the America way of life.

Either that or they are too stupid to realize that Rush Limbaugh is telling the truth about Obama and his relationahip with the Marxist Far Left.

I am sooooo tired of these POS politicians...They have decided they answer for their own wants and needs and not those of their people. That beyotch Snowe today really pissed me off...all she really said during post vote interviews was "I want", "This is what I think". Not once did she talk about the people she represents.

We need a change, guys and dolls, and not just from the Halfrican in office. We have some people in the repub party who need to be schooled ASAP...or dropped.

If only viable true blue Conservatives can come forward challenge the Maine sisters, McCain, and Graham, I think they’d be well funded. Only a shockwave by having RINOs lose will bring the Republican party to its senses as the party of limited government and traditional values. Nothing else will do.
