Those angry town hall meetings are back.
Last night, at a forum at Furman University, South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham was pilloried by protesters for his decision to back Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and for his support for climate change legislation.
During the 75-minute event, one man told Graham he had betrayed conservatism and made a pact with the devil by working with Democrats, and asked when the senator planned to change parties.
. . . . .
Maybe what really ticked off the conservatives was when Graham argued that the problem should be addressed as soon as possible -- even if the solution helps the Democrats politically. "I'd like to solve a problem, and if it's on President Obama's watch, it doesn't bother me one bit, if it makes the country better off."

Graham should be told to leave the Republican party NOW. At his recent townhall someone asked him when he was going to become a democrat? This was over the weekend.

I wonder if Graham’s gay lover is a Democrat operative who is influencing his decisions.

Is there a way for South Carolina to recall Graham?

Amen! Time for little Lindsey and his mentor McCain to admit they are NOT republicans...they rarely follow the GOP Platform.
From 2009 GOP platform:
We oppose amnesty. The rule of law suffers if
government policies encourage or reward illegal activity. The American peoples rejection of en masse
legalizations is especially appropriate given the fed-
eral governments past failures to enforce the law
..One sign of our unity is our English language.
For newcomers, it has always been the fastest route
to prosperity in America. English empowers. We
support English as the official language in our nation [snip]

How does a state elect this character and Jim Demint to the Senate? Something strange about SC politics after Graham was a big amnesty supporter in 2006 and 2007, but there was no serious Republican primary challenge in 2008.
Demint and Graham, one of the two or three best of the Republicans senators and one of the two or three worst.

Was there ever really any doubt? Traitor!

My take is, “Follow the Money.” Lindsey must have megabucks invested in some carbon credit scheme or something else that will make him rich if Cap & Tax is passed.
To: rabscuttle385
Graham is the worst type of hack. He believes the Republican Party is more important than Conservative Principles. Rubbish.
I don't give a rats *ss about the Republican Party unless it pushes Conservative Principles. I'm only a member because it's closer to the things I believe in. Graham not only doesn't care about anything but being reelected he hasn't even been reading the latest evidence about the whole Global Warming Theory falling apart. Has he read the latest developments in this area? Linsey is a fraud, a fool and a buffoon. He really has earned his nickname "Goober Graham".
