This isn’t the best audio but more evidence of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s complete dismissal of Ron Paul’s adherence to rigid constitutional government. Notice in the first video that instead of addressing the woman’s criticism head on, Graham simply asks her who she voted for in the presidential election. When she replied “Chuck Baldwin” Graham then attempts to marginalize her based on her support for the Constitution Party, slamming Paul in the process.
The following took place 10/12/09 at a town hall meeting in Greenville, SC:

Didn’t you used to be the banned tlbshow? If so, how’d they let you back here? Your nasty attitude hasn’t changed.
Will the good people of South Carolina please RECALL this bag o’ crap?
Here's the disconnect between many Party officials and their constituents. They would rather have RINOs win, to inflate the number of Rs, than have a party that could implement a conservative agenda.
Meanwhile, I would rather lose a few elections than have to choose between Socialism and Socialism.
Larouche is a populist New Deal Democrat. Ron Paul, not so much.
>Your type also believe Reagan was a liberal Republican.
I believe no such thing.
>Ron Paul is a Liberal Democrat when it comes to Foreign Policy.
Liberal Democrats are the biggest interventionist nation builders. Did you support Clinton’s UN adventures?
And then there is Allahpundit at HotAir who is defending Lindsey Graham in this video.
“I don’t know how long America will survive, but your doomsday scenario isn’t justified. Sounds like defeatism.”
Nothing and no nation has ever lasted forever. That’s not defeatism, but reality.
When did Paul say he wants our nuclear arsenal reduced?
What sort of illiterate invertebrate would claim being associated with the JBS is a slur, let alone worrying about giving MSNBC fodder for their rabid rants?
Oh, right, the same sort of illiterate invertebrate who froths hate for Ron Paul based on innuendo and flat out lies.
Great point! So true!
Beck just had on some new audio of this waste of carbon at a town hall meeting proclaiming: ‘We’re going to take this party forward, and if you don’t like it you can leave.’
I already did.
Graham is just another elitist ahole. He just happens to have an R in his political registration.
What happened to him? I haven’t followed his “career” since the Clinton impeachment. At that time he seemed to be very conservative.
“Gang of 14”
Juan McStain rubbed off on him.
Lindsey saw that Juan’s “moderate tone” got him the presidential nomination.
Do you think Lindsey will be vying for the Republican nomination next time around (if there is a next time)?
The Senate is best described as “100 presidents in waiting”.
I was living in Hollywood when the album came out and George Harrison was on KHJ to introduce each track and talked a bit about each song. Wish i had a tape recorder back then...
I am not a Paulista, but Graham really is out of touch with the conservative base. That base has more in common with libertarians than with big government liberals, which is the group Graham is most at home with.
McCain supported Kosovo. Hell, he championed the causes of al Qaeda's regional affiliate, the KLA!
Government is a necessary evil, but freedom must be defended at all costs. In order to have a "strong and independent United States" the Constitution requires the federal government to assure that our military is prepared to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." That means the paramount concern for our elected officials starts with assuring security of the American homeland, fostering the safety of the American people and ongoing support of America's national interests abroad. Strong allies strengthen our security.
America has long held commitments with nations all over the world. Granted, some of those commitments are more valid than others. However, libertarian flakes like Ronpaul and you want to see ALL US military troops pulled out of ALL areas of the world, Even where the US has strong national security interests, without any consideration to the ramifications caused by such rash and irresponsible actions. Along with that, you Paultards would halt all military aid to our allies, even if that makes them more vulnerable to the enemies of America.
Like it or not, America is the lone superpower in the world. Our military and political withdrawal from world affairs would result in a serious power vacuum that would ultimately be filled by the enemies of freedom.
Thankfully, Ronpaul will never be president and we Americans will never have to face his pacifism, his isolationism and his appeaser agenda.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~~~ Ronald Reagan
Also, Free Republic is a strong supporter of the US military taking the fight to our enemies. Preferably, over there and not, over here.
The libertarian philosophy of Ronpaul calls for serious cuts in America's national defense budget. The nuclear arsenal of weapons is part of America's national defense budget.
So, when was the last time Ronpaul voted for a Defense Appropriations bill?
“Doctor No” strikes again! LOL
