Enough Is Enough… South Carolina GOP Branch Censures Progressive Lindsey Graham

Enough Is Enough…
Just last month Lindsey Graham told reporters,
“The tea party will die out… Republicans will move away from the fringe.”
Now those “fringe” voters want to send Graham their own message.
South Carolina Republican Party members have had enough from progressive Senator Lindsey Graham. The Aiken County Republican Party recently approved a formal censure of the controversial senator.
The Herald Online reported, via Free Republic:
The Aiken County Republican Party has approved a formal censure of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
The party’s executive committee took the action Thursday, joining a handful of other county parties, including Greenville’s GOP.
Committee member Pete Seaha, who also is the Aiken County Tea Party chairman, wrote the resolution and introduced it at the meeting. The resolution states in part that Graham won’t be invited to any party meetings or events.
“I don’t believe the senator is sticking to conservative Republican principles,” said Seaha. “In my mind, the senator has disrespected his constituents. He has said publicly on a talk show that he didn’t care what they thought.”
Seaha said it was his understanding that 18 people on the executive committee supported the resolution, while two opposed it and two abstained.
Kevin Bishop, a Graham spokesman, said via e-mail that while some of the senator’s friends may not want to meet with him, “his door will always be open. Sen. Graham respects those who disagree with him, but he strongly believes we need to keep an open dialogue.”

He feels for the people so much that he doesn’t give a damn what they think! He is the perfect progressive!

Can we recall him now??

“his door will always be open.”
That’s exactly the attitude problem we’re referring to, Kevin. Your boss works for us, the American people. Your office has repeatedly told people such as myself that the Senator does not care about the concerns of citizens outside the state, even though he has no qualms shaking me down for more tax money and imposing unqualified, radical leftist Supreme Court justices who will oppress me. There was no open door then, and it was clear that it takes the key of lobbyist cash to open it.
Fundamentally, it’s this basic attitude that the wise Senator is one whom the people must come to “when the door is open,” humbly submit their concerns, and be judged by the wise Progressivist lord. Those days are over. You and your Senator will soon be given an opportunity to experience humility the remainder of your careers.
These next few years, you and and the Senator will come to learn the seriousness of the people’s position: Public servant, obey!

Lindsey represents everything that is wrong with the senate, many of them feel that they are a club that is far above the mere peons that inhabit the country. the sooner we can sweep him out of there the better. you can’t trust any of them.

Oh I love this.GOOD BYE SENATOR GRAMNESTY!!! Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out
Nan commented:
Republican politicians have to be the dummest people on earth, will somebody please tell LG that just because the left says we are right wing extremist doesnt make it so. Someone also needs to remind him that in their eyes he too is a right wing extremist. Republican representatives should have one CONVICTION and one CONVICTION only– to represent their constituents!!!!!!!! These holier than thou reps like LG and John McCain make me ill, they think we elect them so they can ride herd on us. All you moderates out there need to understand one thing and one thing only, “anyone to the right of the left are right wing extremists” and once you understand that youll see that there are no moderates. Why LG doesn’t stand up for us and continues to let the left paint us as right wing extremists can only be chalked up to naivete and ignorance.

His door will always be open to Barack Obama.
I thank the GOP in SC for censuring the flaming RINO Grahamnesty for his yes votes for the 2 Constitution-hating justices and invoking Jesus while justifying his vote for Kagan – the most blatant blasphemy, wanting to work with the Globull Warming nuts, and his disregard for his constituents and the Constitution.
South Carolinians: VOTE THIS RINO OUT!
Robert commented:
Didn’t McGramnesty also rage on against opponents of “immigration reform” (amnesty-just enforce the laws we have, protect the border, and uphold American culture) calling them racists, and quite loudly at that?
Oldpuppymax commented:
Little Lindsey will just have to go home and cry to his boyfriend. I wonder if the people of Carolina will EVER wake up to the fraud this clown is.

It’s About Time!

Sen. Graham…strongly believes we need to keep an open dialogue.”
Sure, he does. Well, at least he wants the voters to keep listening to his dialogue. Otherwise, they might just judge him on his Senate votes instead of his words. And that would be very bad for his career.
Dave in Houston commented:
FTA:…Sen. Graham respects those who disagree with him, but he strongly believes we need to keep an open dialogue.
He lectures, preens and pontificates,we listen. That is his idea of a dialogue.
I think even Sen Graham has figured out that the voters are mad.
luckyone commented:
I couldn’t believe it when they re-elected him. I bet it won’t happen again. The day of the RINO is OVER.
Scott commented:
It looks like the elephant costume McCain wore to win his primary was sent to Graham and he’s now wearing it. He pretended to be a real Republican on Meet the Press this morning. I was thinking, who the heck is this guy and what has he done with the Grahamnesty the Democrats know and love.
aprilnovember811 commented:
I agree with what they did. What he did to future generations with his Elena Kagan vote, is unconscionable. If you are going to be a “sinisterist,” (I got that term from American Thinker,) be one. But don’t mislead people into thinking you’re something you’re not. We have enough of that with the Kenyan born, Muslim, yes, he is a Muslim. He lied, what a shock.
MUSLIM IDEOLOGICAL COUNCIL: OBAMA SHOULD BE NAMED “CALIPH OF MUSLIMS”
And don’t any talking heads try to tell me, this means nothing. We aren’t stupid. Many of us are much or intelligent than all of you. The camera in your face, or microphone, mean nothing.http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/09/muslim-ideological-council-obama-to-be-named-caliph-of-muslims-mullah-barack-hussain-obama-allama-ob.html

The problem with front door seems to be about dialog only but the back door, is where the shady deals are being made. Thought you knew.

“They sharpen their tongues like swords1 and aim their words like deadly arrows.2 4 They shoot from ambush at the innocent man;3 they shoot at him suddenly, without fear.4 5 They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares;5 they say, “Who will see them?” 6 They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!” Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning. 7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be struck down. 8 He will turn their own tongues against them7 and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.”
Khan Krum commented:
I never realized just how much Lindsey Gramnesty looks like E.T. until I saw the photograph you published for this article. While I think it’s a really good idea for the good people of South Carolina to recall him, perhaps they could rig him up a device with a turntable, a circular saw blade, strings, etc. and get him to “phone home” himself. E.T. phone home!
debrobeaudean commented:
Gramnesty was on Fox News Sunday today and I do believe he got the message.. he sounded much more conservative than before.. Hopefully he and McCain will not turn on us again.
John Stanford commented:
Lindsey Graham keep fighting for us!
You voted against Obamacare, financial reg bailout bill and other socialist proposals!
donh commented:
I have visited Aiken Twice in the past year. It is a lovely traditional southern class town bordering August GA , a city on very hard times. Flimsy Scam is never respectful to people opposing his liberal positions because he is ALWAYS in disagreement with conservatives. He can’t even stand with us to oppose a rabid communist totalitarian like Elena Kagan . That is how much contempt he has for our principles. Flimsy Scam is a con artist who only poses conservative. He looks , talks, and acts like Mr Haney of Green Acres and WE are Mr Douglas. … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsEhXE5IUCQ

LIBS,DEMS AND RINO’s are the enemy period!
Flush Graham as fast as you can..He is John McCain of the future.
MVH commented:
Oh, there you are, Miss Lindsey. Here’s your hat…what’s your hurry? Ahhh, ha, ha, ha!
Ohio Dan commented:
So when do you think he goes
Dem like Arlen Sphincter. My guess is right after the Nov. 2nd to insure the dems hold the Senate by 1.
Hedgehog commented:
This bum is toast. His vote to put a Communist on the Supreme Court is unforgivable. I see a conservative primary challenge and I hope that the Republican Party has the good sense supports the challenger. Failure to do so would consign the Republican Party to the dust bin of history in this state.
