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."

No, he doesn't. Just the opposite. He warns against the pitfalls of a third party. Retake the Republican party instead.
Is there any kind of reward posted for the person who finds Graham’s spine?
It has been missing for a long time now.
Telling his constituents to “leave” is signing his own political suicide, IMO.
When does his term run out?
Hey South Carolina...When are you going to vote this a-hole out of his job?
Or should you just chill?
EXACTLY. Not Conservative = NO VOTE! Both parties can Shove It!
FU, Lindsey. I have decided to take this very personally.
Wow that really pisses me off. The reason I am living in this state is because this is my Husband's duty station. We bought a house here and we pay taxes.
If only those of us in SC were lucky enough for this POS to be in NC to be kicked to the curb in '14.
Unfortunately he will be floating lightly in his loafers in SC until the time for his primary to roll around.
Can you RECALL elected officials in SC?
Didn’t he was once say, “Republican by day, Democrat by night”? If so, the timing of his townhall would be in his night mode.
There is lots of good research out thetre on 'battered wife syndrome'.
I love the good folks from SC. I met my wife while a resident at MUSC. She is a SC girl from Orangeburg and her parents detest this sack of excrement. I don’t understand how the people there keep electing goober. I will contribute to any conservative who runs against him. Please let me know what I can do.
YO GOOBER ... Compromise on a MARXIST TAKEOVER of our CONSTITUTION is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!1
NO, we are NOT going to CHILL OUT.
and the ONLY ONE leaving Washington.. is YOU!!
IT is the ATTITUDE of the politician - not just SOME things they might stand for ...
Lindsey Graham’s attitude is totally unacceptable...
Graham just wants us to SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP... because he KNOWS better...
Not acceptable...
Time for Lindsay Graham to face a primary challenge.
** SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP... because he KNOWS better...**
Dayum, GOOBER, that makes you sound like TEDDY KEGGER, may he ROT IN HELL,
and you GOOBER, need to ROT IN South Carolina,, IF the good people of SC even LET you BACK IN!!
What do you stand for anyway? Graham is the ultimate example of a aloof, detached, arrogant, JERK who has not a clue as to who he works for...
Pantywaist Lindsey is a complete and utter FOOL...
The sooner we retire - recall Lindsey Graham the better....
Rino boy gets his money from Liberals corporations, Rinos and activist groups - he does not need your money.
However, he does need votes and he needs everyone to be quiet about him voting for the lessor of two evils, as usual. Running ads against him about cap and trade will be wonderful fodder. Running ads with his statement “if you don’t like it, you can leave” will work well for our side, too.
Lindsey is a little full of his bad self. Been hanging out with Meghan McCain types too much.
Damn son, I might not be an ENGLISH MAJOR, but that’s what I THOUGHT I SAID.. I compared him to Teddy Kennedy, and he should go back to SC and ROT THERE. If the people of SC let him in.
Bipartisanship (holding hands) with Marxists is NOT an option. You are either with us or with them. The days of appeaser Republicans are coming to an end.
It’s not just his attitude, it’s also his refusal to understand his own constituents anger!
