Defeat Lindsey Graham

There has been much speculation about a potential challenger to Senator Lindsey Graham. One thing seems certain, any challenge must come in the Republican primary. When asked about a potential challenger in the general election, former SC Democrat Party chair Joe Erwin said he doubted any Democrat would run, saying, “We already have our best Democrat up there in Lindsey.” That’s a pretty devastating comment coming from a Democrat. The fact is, should Graham win the nomination he will almost certainly run unopposed in the general election.

I’ve said here and elsewhere that I am prepared to vote for a Democrat, much as even saying that pains me, rather than vote for Graham. Several Republicans and conservatives have taken me to task for such statements. Many have said they simply could not vote for a Democrat no matter how bad Graham is. Well it appears that no one will be faced with that choice. Unless Republicans and conservatives in South Carolina step up soon and recruit someone to run against Graham in the Republican primary, there will be another six years of this disgraceful RINO representing us in the Senate. Does anyone really want that?

Graham is a liar among his other loathsome traits. How about this obviously false statement: “When South Carolinians are fairly informed about the immigration reform proposal, there is majority support for it.” There is not a chance in the world that Graham actually believes that statement. And if, by some slim chance he really does, he is too stupid to be in the Senate anyway. South Carolinians overwhelmingly reject the immigration bill and Graham has the temerity to say such a thing. Either he’s a fool or he believes South Carolina voters are fools. I’m not sure which is worse.
