Thread: Msg from Greenville Republican Comm.

I sent an email to the Greenville County Republicans wishing them the best of luck in getting rid of Lindsay Graham using the contact address from the article.

Here is what I received back:

My reply:

Sir:

Here is a SAMPLE of what's on the internet. Word has spread like wildfire and people couldn't be happier. I also included a few comments.

We are not Graham's constituents, but he took an oath of office that DOES cover us.

Sincerely,


Graham: 'Small group' involved in censure
Not everybody's mad at Lindsey.

That's the Republican senator's take on Monday night's stunner, a censure resolution by the Greenville County Republican Party's executive committee.

"Apparently a small group of people upset with differerent aspects of life" pushed the issue, Graham said today, shrugging off any potential impact on his expected 2008 re-election run.

"It's a small group of people getting in a room, having their say. It sort of speaks for itself in terms of where it's coming from," Graham said.

Twice, duiring the conversation, he mentioned GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul and his supporters, many of whom were in the room. How many were committee members and eligible to vote isn't certain.

"There's no way I'm ever going to agree with the Ron Paul crowd."

The resolution, approved on a voice vote, focused on Graham's support for the recently failed immigration reform bill that would have created a path to legal status for many of the 12 million illegal immigrants. Opponents, including plenty of South Carolina conservative activists, read it as amnesty, something the Greenville party has twice gone on record in opposing.

Also, the resolution rebuked Graham for comments made to a Latino civil rights group that some took as a slam at anyone who opposed the bill.

"Sometimes you make people mad," Graham said.

Oh, and if those folks think he's not a conservative, he suggests they check out his 91 percent lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union.

In an amazing twist of fantasy and spin, Senator Lindsey Graham & Dan Hoover of the Greenville News attempt to connect the dots from Ron Paul's Presidential campaign and to the Greenville GOP Executive Committee latest censure of Senator Graham!!!

As most of you know, it was our first EVER visit to the GOP Executive Meeting in Greenville on Monday - No one - ZERO - Zilch - NONE of us are part of the Greenville GOP Executive (VOTING) committee!!

What really agitates me is the audacity of the spin, to not only marginalize the Greenville GOP Executive Committees passed censure resolution, but to somehow imply Ron Paul supporters actually voted!!

c'mon people... let's get real!

However, based on what I heard personally, and now this incredulous spin ... HAD I been a voting member, I would have been inclined to vote as the MAJORITY of the Greenville GOP Executive Committee in FAVOR of Senator Graham's censure!

Furthermore, Senator's Graham's quote of "There's no way I'm ever going to agree with the Ron Paul crowd."
shows us EXACTLY where he stands with Ron Paul now, doesn't it?

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF MORE EMAILS WERE SENT. JUST USE THE ABOVE LINK (harmslaw@theofficesite.net) AND IT GOES RIGHT TO EMAIL.

I just sent him a note. I lived in SC for over 20 years, so it is still sort of home to me.

Strom Thurmond and Fritz Hollings must be spinning in their graves.

Done. I let him know that when Lindsey Graham told the "bigots" to shut up, he was talking to 80% of the country. I was and am highly offended.

Thanks for the email link.

You all oust Lindsy ... another back flipping politician

We in Florida are doing what we can to get rid of Mel Martinez .... if not by recall by voting him out of office

Politics will never / ever be the same

Corrupt politicians are going austa la bye - bye
