He runs as a Republican and wins because most in SC don't know anything but political party names. Bob Conley who ran as a Democrat would have been the best for the state of SC, but the party name put Lindsey in again. Wake up SC!

It was the main stream republicans-the non-thinking variety-the RHINOS and good old boys that got him reelected. SHAME SHAME SHAME. I said that Graham should be censured for approving Sotomayer and he still should. But the SC GOP won't touch it. That makes them complicit in the crimes. Join the GOP and take it back people. Get elected in your precinct. join Campaign for Liberty. Get off the train to Auzwitz before your mind is eaten by the GOP zombies. I voted Constitution Party last election and will do it again. McCAin was no prize. We'd be in Iran at war right now if he was elected. Also we would not be awakening from our slumber. We have to take back our country and spend less time worrying about partiies. Get good people to run for office and support them with time AND money. The incumbants have corporations and special interest lackeys paying their way.

Some of the brilliant quotes from audience members include gems as, "God doesn't compromise!", and, "Obama is a devil worshiper." Really? People such as those in the audience that night are one of the reasons that when someone asks me what party I am in I say "independent". These Glenn Beck worshipers are much further from being libertarian than Graham (ask them if they would ever consider legalizing marijuana?). Graham, of course is not perfect. But at the same time, I can at least respect that has has not let special interest groups like the SC Club for Growth completely run his show (unlike many other SC politicians). SCCFG makes some good points, but at its heart, it is a business special interest group. Interest groups only care about one thing (the interest of business owners), at the expense of many other important things (ie consumer rights in SC Club for Growth's case).

In the weeks immediately after the bombing, I believed the last thing we should do was turn tail and leave yet, the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics forced us to rethink our policy there." Reagan would have the balls to leave Iraq and Afghanistan now for the same reasons. It takes courage and leadership to admit you didn't understand the situation and the best thing to do is simply leave.

He is one Republican in DC that I might vote for. I can't say I agree with all he does, but I like more of his decisions and actions than DeMint's and Wilson's put together. At least one guy from SC that has a brain and common sense. Go get ‘em, Lindsey. He is one Republican in DC that I might vote for.

We did much more than toss a few shells at them. I happened to be stationed on the USS Independence CV-62. We were just finishing up in Granada when the news of the compound bombing came and we hauled ass across the Atlantic and through the Med. Upon arriving, our planes and those of the USS Kennedy launched numerous missions at a multitude of targets. I believe the New Jersey battleship was also on station (I got a great pic of a broadside fired by the NJ while in a Helo one day over there) What effectively ended the attacks from us was a mistake made regarding a target. A plane from the Kennedy screwed up basically and a number of innocent people were killed. I happened to be there so basically have a firsthand account. There were no blogs back then to take stale news from the papers and throw around accusations. People here in the states knew very little of what we did during my time in the military. As for Carter, you're kidding right? The "shitty" mess he left us in took alot of money to get out of. Probably the most expensive was our military, the laughingstock to the rest of the world at that time. You might remember that the Iranians let the hostages go just before Reagan took office. They knew there wasn't a doubt he'd make them pay for keeping them. Something Carter didn't have a clue about. The Reagan and G H Bush admins set the stage for Clinton to take credit for something he couldn't have stopped. Although he did his damnedest to do that. You might try checking your facts next time. Pat,
