Actually the worse "Republican"/RHINO senator is the PRO AMNESTY Saxby Chambliss. Time for change.
I have listened with interest to the re-election ads from our neighbor across the river, U.S. Sen. Lindsay Graham.
Since I and many, many others in the area have been active in fighting any and all amnesty bills proposed by Congress, I noted that his part in these amnesty debacles, and his references to the opposition as bigots, isn't part of his re-election campaign.
Why isn't he claiming his due credit for trying to take jobs from law-abiding citizens to give to lawbreakers? Or doesn't it make for good re-election rhetoric?
He has been called the worst Republican senator by American Spectator magazine, and is billed as "Sen. Gramnesty" by conservative media.
South Carolina deserves better.

The congress is full of amnesty capitulaters. Graham is one of many. He's conservative compared with todays Democrats, but he's about as moderate as McCain. South Carolina does deserve better, so does America.
I agree with your last sentence patricithomas, and we are about to get that "better."
McCain, Graham et al are betting that Americans with a short memory will forget their treachery. This voter will not forget in November.
Well, those of us here in SC have a choice come June 10th. Buddy Witherspoon is his Republican opponent and speaks the truth!! Check out what he has to say on his website at:

I'm putting my support behind Obama - Republicans just don't deserve another chance. I'll try to post this only once because this message is loud and clear to true Americans. The former press secretary is coming forward with the truth. What a mess.
Lindsey has also put forth an inferior GI Bill that John Sidney McSame III and W support. The troops deserve the best after the Hell the Republicans have sent them through. Support the troops, Vote Democrat!
McClellan stops short of saying that Bush purposely lied about his reasons for invading Iraq, writing that he and his subordinates were not "employing out-and-out deception" to make their case for war in 2002.
But in a chapter titled "Selling the War," he alleges that the administration repeatedly shaded the truth and that Bush "managed the crisis in a way that almost guaranteed that the use of force would become the only feasible option."
"Over that summer of 2002," he writes, "top Bush aides had outlined a strategy for carefully orchestrating the coming campaign to aggressively sell the war. . . . In the permanent campaign era, it was all about manipulating sources of public opinion to the president's advantage."
McClellan, once a staunch defender of the war from the podium, comes to a stark conclusion, writing, "What I do know is that war should only be waged when necessary, and the Iraq war was not necessary."
congratulations to Rush: Now that Barr has threw his hat in the race, operation KAOS (as rush and his ditto heads would say) continues. Rush blew out my car speaker yesterday talking about his obsession with Jerimah Wright ( could there be a secret crush there?)
So vote him OUT if that makes you feel better. Complaints accompanied by Actions do a lot more than waste air from those lungs of yours!
They all speak with fork tonges. You like them when they say what you want to hear, and than you comment on a poster board when they don't. Thats why they call them "politicians."
Now, that's a fresh thought.
"has threw"???
