Lindsey Graham is Toast in 2008
14 September 2006I live in South Carolina and four years ago I was an active campaigner for Lindsey Graham. I made phone calls, walked precincts, went to campaign events, put out campaign signs and generally spent my spare time working to elect Lindsey Graham.
There are few things in my life that I regret more.
Lindsey Graham has been characterized by some as courageous because of his willingness to go against his party. I don’t think he’s courageous. I think Graham has his eyes on the White House and everything he does is entirely self serving. He’s been a Senator less than one term and he has more face time than almost anyone in the Senate. That is no coincidence.
Once again Graham has put his political aspirations ahead of party and country. He’s again partnered with RINO John McCain to thwart the president’s plan to clarify article III of the Geneva Convention so that our troops and the CIA can know what is acceptable and what is not when it comes to interrogating enemy prisoners. Graham’s actions follow his participation in the gang of 14 when he helped thwart Bush’s conservative nominations to the federal bench.
When Graham first ran for the Senate in 2002 he ran as a conservative. He has proven himself to be anything but a conservative. I’m not sure Graham has any core convictions. He stands for what he thinks will get his face before the public and get him the most publicity. He knows that anyone running for President needs name recognition and few politicians in Washington have greater name recognition that does Graham. Strange that that should be as such a junior member of the Senate.
There is one thing you can be certain of. When the 2008 campaign rolls around I will work tirelessly to defeat Graham. I will volunteer my time for the most conservative candidate in the primaries and I’ll go door to door telling everyone who will listen why Graham isn’t worthy of their vote. Should he win the nomination anyway, or should he be unopposed, I will work for whom ever his opponent is, even a Democrat. I’d rather have a Democrat representing this state than a snake in the grass RINO out to serve no one but himself.
Lindsey Graham has got to go and I will do everything in my power to ensure he is a one term Senator. He is an embarrassment to the State of South Carolina and to this country.
UPDATE:
Powerline Blog notes that Graham was interviewd by Hugh Hewitt where he promised to vote to allow judicial nominee William Haynes, General Counsel of the Department of Defense, to be released to the Senate floor for a full vote up or down. Graham said, however, that he would vote against Haynes on the Senate floor. Says Powerline:
So, if Graham can be trusted, I think that means that after a delay of several years, Haynes’s nomination will finally receive a Senate vote. That’s a victory of sorts, I guess.
Sounds to me like the folks at Powerline don’t trust Graham any more than I do!
