County Republican Party leaders censure Sen. Graham

[Chris]

The Charleston County Republican Party's executive committee took the unusual step Monday night of censuring U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for stepping across the GOP party line.

The resolution mentions Graham's cooperation with U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., on a bipartisan energy bill, and his support for the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program and the time he called some opponents of immigration reform "bigots."

"U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham -- in the name of bipartisanship -- continues to weaken the Republican brand and tarnish the ideals of freedom, rule of law, and fiscal conservatism," the resolution reads.

Bennett said the resolution passed unanimously by a voice vote among about 50 of the party's 104 executive committee members.

Graham's spokesman Kevin Bishop said his boss has a lifetime conservative voting record of 90 percent and last year was rated the 15th most conservative senator by National Journal.

He may have voted with Republicans 90% of the time, but it's those 10% that hurt the cause is my guess.

Lindsay Graham has become a complete embarassment to South Carolina and its rich history of saying screw you to the feds.

There was a recall attempt against him when joined with the america-hater, Ted Kennedy, to ram amensty for illegal aliens down our throats.  It seems that when it comes to a major-massive screwing of America he is always found on the wrong side.

Obama and his lefties are salavating at getting his support to once again ram amnesty down our throats next year.

GOP should read him out of the party and cut off all funding and support.
