Lindsey Graham’s Wall of Shame
The day I posted this, I was flying the Union Jack. I fly this Patriot Flag on my front porch when Liberty is Threatened. I fully expect Liberty to be continually threatened from the “left” and the Democrats. But Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has gone to the “dark side” and is sipping the man-made [HOAX!] global warming kool aid, he supports illegal immigration and is helping Obama with the socialist takeover of the country. This man is NOT a the conservative he said he was while campaigning. He’s a “lefty” and should be treated as a pariah by all Republicans and censured post haste.
Graham Wall of Shame: I’m going to be putting a link to this post in the “references” under “Graham – Wall of Shame”. I will be adding to this page and changing it from time to time. So if you want the latest on why you should NOT have voted for Lindsey Graham and why every Conservative organization in the state should be keeping pressure on him to honor his “conservative” campaign promises.
On Conservatives in the Republican Party: Lindsey Graham:“To those people who are pursuing purity, you’ll become a club not a party,” Graham told POLITICO in the Capitol Wednesday. “Those people who are trying to embrace conservatism in a thoughtful way that fits the region and the state and the district are going to do well. Conservatism is an asset. Blind ideology is not.” Well, Conservative “Blind Ideology” IS the Constitution of the United States!
On Illegal Immigration: At a function of La Raza, a Hispanic group whose primary goal is to reclaim the South Western United States for Mexico, by military force if necessary, he was asked his response to the folks back in South Carolina who opposed the amnesty portion of the immigration bill. His response: I’m going to “tell the bigots to shut up.” On the Senate floor, Graham referred to his constituents in SC who disagreed with him on amnesty for illegal aliens as “those loud people“, and vowed to ignore them.

On Global Warming: Lindsey Graham (AP): I started traveling with Sen. (John) McCain, who has been a climate change advocate for a long time, and I went to the Arctic region with him and Sen. (Hillary Rodham) Clinton. I came to the conclusion from listening to the scientists … from people who lived in the regions, that the canary in the coal mine is in the Arctic regions, and that the planet is heating up. How much is caused by greenhouse gases, I don’t know. But I believe to some extent it’s a contributing factor. … Now, why did I choose to do something this time around? … The one thing that I could say without any doubt, that the best chance to create jobs for the future here in this country is energy independence. And you will never become energy independent until you price carbon.
Other views of this Faux-Conservative: American Thinker: Lindsey Graham was elected to serve as United States Senator in 2002. He was easily re-elected in 2008, largely due to the support of conservatives. Conservatives like founder and past president of the low country’s South Strand Republicans, John Bonsignor. John and his wife campaigned hard for Graham, based on their belief that Graham would govern as a conservative. Meaning, lower taxes and less government. “Graham is disappointing,” states Bonsignor, “He campaigned as a conservative but his record is moderate left.” When asked if he would vote for Graham now, Bonsignor stated emphatically, “No,” citing Lindsey’s support for Sotomayor, his support for TARP funds, and the final straw, his support for cap and trade.
Censure from SC Republicans: Post and Courier: The Charleston County Republican Party’s executive committee took the unusual step Monday night of censuring U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for stepping across the GOP party line. County Chairwoman Lin Bennett said the unanimous vote “is an effort to get his attention. They (party leaders) are just fed up, and they want him to know they’re fed up.” The resolution mentions Graham’s cooperation with U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., on a bipartisan energy bill, and his support for the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program and the time he called some opponents of immigration reform “bigots.”"U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham — in the name of bipartisanship — continues to weaken the Republican brand and tarnish the ideals of freedom, rule of law, and fiscal conservatism,” the resolution reads.
Senator Graham needs to hear the anger from the Conservatives who gave him the job … it is time he does the bidding of the people who put him there … he works for US! And if the above isn’t enough proof … try this …
ClimateProgress.org: Graham’s ties to the White House are pivotal for sponsors of an energy and climate bill as they search for more Republicans willing to work on a key feature of their domestic and international agenda. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) yesterday said he has “definite Republican votes” for the bill, though he would not name names or give exact numbers
Lindsey Graham: We will be working closely with the White House over the course of the next weeks with a few to try to pull together what ultimately could be presented to Senator Reid and the leadership as a piece of legislation that we hope could get the sixty votes necessary to pass or more, and we would hope it would be more.
Our “conservative Senator from South Carolina is even supporting Obama’s Socialist takeover of the country …
The Bottom Line
Lindsey Graham Lies. He calls himself a Conservative and he is not. He takes positions alien to Conservative values and flaunts his “neo-con” views. Actually he’s not a “neo-con” … he’s a fake conservative … FAUX Conservative! To have “run” on a “conservative” ticket during his last campaign was to lie to his constituents … and every day he continues to put down conservative ideals, he is proving that he was lying to those who he asked to vote for him. He gratefully accepted the conservative vote that put him into office, but he turns his back on those supporters time after time.
ACTION It is time for all Conservatives in South Carolina who voted for this “bipartisan” moderate Republican to begin not only turning their backs on him when he speaks anywhere in South Carolina, but it is also time for all Republican organizations in the state to censure him just as the Charleston Republican Club did (see above).
It is time for censure and it should come in two forms:
- Censure from all Republican Clubs in the state of South Carolina
- Censure from the conservative citizens of South Carolina that voted for this “faux-conservative”.

Either a House or Senate bill, that releases millions of foreign workers into our country, will devastate the public safety net. As it is now–California–a SANCTUARY STATE–is under constant bombardment to support uncounted numbers of foreign invaders on the health care, education and penal system. America’s largest population of illegal immigrants, California bears a huge cost to provide basic human services for this fast growing, illegal low-income segment of its population. A new study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) examines the costs of education, health care and incarceration of illegal aliens, and concludes that the costs to Californians is $10.5 billion annually. California voters rebelled and overwhelmingly passed Proposition 187, which sought to limit liability for mass illegal immigration. Since then, state and local governments have blatantly ignored the wishes of the voters and continued to pay out publicly financed benefits on illegal families. Prop 187 was brought before Judge Mariana Pfaelzer, who in November 1997 found the law to be unconstitutional. Governor Wilson appealed the ruling, which brought the case to the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. (who are extremist Liberals) In 1999, newly elected Democratic Governor Gray Davis had the case brought before mediation, and then intentionally dropped the appeals process before the courts, effectively killing the law so it–NEVER–reached the Supreme Court. Dan Stein, President of FAIR stated, “California’s addiction to ‘cheap’ illegal alien labor is bankrupting the state and posing enormous burdens on the state’s SHRINKING MIDDLE CLASS TAX BASE,” he added “Most Californians, who have seen their taxes increase while public services deteriorate, already know the impact that mass illegal immigration is having on their communities, but even they may be shocked when they learn just how much of a drain illegal immigration has become. After these fiscal numbers were released, there seem to be an intentional reluctance to offer costs for both legal and illegal immigrant cost to the US taxpayer.
“This is owing to a Sacramento Liberal Assembly, which has edged the state to near bankruptcy. Only by the interruption of multi-millions of American citizens, legal residents and congregations of anti-illegal immigration groups will America prevail. Here is the Capitol switchboard number to call 202-224-3121 because your vote is needed to stop any AMNESTY. The last 1986 Immigration bill was never aggressively enforced, that is why millions of illegal immigrants roam freely throughout America? The blame can be placed upon previous administrations as they have always been in collusion with the business, including Wall Street that is the real mechanism that governs our country? That is–WHY–we are taxed to subsidize–CORPORATE WELFARE–with incredulous numbers of lowly paid illegal wages and no benefits. THIS IS ALL ABOUT CORPORATE GREED and the complete indifference to the AMERICAN WORKERS SURVIVAL AND AN OVERPOPULATION FUTURE.
In a study from the National Bureau of Economic Research, based on the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation, analyzed the cost of immigrants based on their specific use of (means-tested) welfare entitlements (both direct and indirect), and revealed that the total immigrant receipt of benefits in–1996–came to $180 billion. THAT IS $ ONE HUNDRED & EIGHTY BILLION IN 1996? WHAT ARE THE EXPENDITURES NOW? Today’s costs if audited would support some foreign governments treasuries. Obama and his army of pro-illegal worker lobbyist, faith groups, unions, anti-sovereignty Caucuses, to adjoin and undermine our voting system, by organizing huge numbers who will automatically vote in favor of the Democratic party.
There are thousands of pro-sovereignty, anti-illegal immigration organizations that are fighting to halt another demented AMNESTY. So if what President Obama has stated that he will approve a so-called Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill, with the approval of the Democratic Party leadership will be a devastating Armageddon. Last Tuesday, December 15, Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez introduced this proposed law, called the Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009 (CIR ASAP).More than ever before it would be to the advantage of all the Anti-AMNESTY groups to unify and mobilize every organizations such as NUMBERSUSA, FAIR, CAPSWEB, ALIPAC, AMERICAN PATROL, JUDICIAL WATCH and every opponent group to join a massive build-up against this dark foreboding issue. Most of the American population has absolutely no conception of the implication surrounding this outrageous bill. But any bill legalizing foreign nationals who have scorned our laws is unconstitutional, without THE PEOPLE’S absolute permission.
The millions of illegal people here would pay small fine of $500.00 dollars, learn English and pass a criminal background check. The law suggested stripping police officers of their federally-sanctioned (287 g) powers that detains individuals for immigration and visa violations, according to The Chicago Tribune. Sen. Harry Reid, Pelosi, Napolitano, Schumer and others know that our only true deterrent E-Verify will be obsolete? This is just for those 20 to 30 million illegal aliens and families who live within this nation borders now. Even more millions will be waiting outside the borders, ready to make the rush for US soil, before the president signs the AMNESTY (CIR ASAP) document. THAT WILL BE THE HIGHEST PINNACLE OF MADNESS, FORCED UPON THE AMERICAN WORKER. THEY WILL HAVE TO COMPETE WITH THOSE ALREADY HERE AND THOSE WHO SUDDENLY SWARM INTO AMERICA. All these destitute, unskilled people will need food, housing and welfare support to exist in our society.
Graham support Bernake
This guy can’t vote “RIGHT” to save himself! Nice add to the Lindsey Graham Wall of Shame.

01.28.10 … Lindsey Graham votes to confirm Bernake (again). Nothing like re-hiring the guy who burned your house down. (DeMint voted Nay).

Graham: Congress Needs A Win On Climate Policy
Amy Harder
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 3:52 PM
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said today that skeptical Republicans and Democrats should throw their support behind climate change legislation not only because it’s good for the economy and the environment, but because Congress desperately needs a win under its belt.
“We tried immigration. It’s hard. And we failed. We tried Social Security. It’s hard. And we failed. We tried health care. It’s really hard. And it looks like we’re going to have to start over again,” Graham somberly told a luncheon audience of energy and climate advocates on the Hill. “On the energy, climate change front, I don’t want to add that to the list. There is no reason in my mind that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party can’t come together.”
Graham’s point of view is more “statist” than “conservative” … RINO again.

Sen. Graham Peeved on Health Care but Will Stick With Climate Bill
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says he is not abandoning negotiations on a comprehensive energy and climate bill even as he warns of partisan gridlock following the Democrats’ push this week to pass health care reform.
“It’s going to make it very difficult to do anything complicated and controversial,” Graham told reporters yesterday.
“I’m still committed to trying to roll out a vision of how you can price carbon and make it business-friendly. We’re still going to do that. … But the truth of the matter is, I think you’re going to find most of our colleagues around here risk adverse.”
Graham’s continued role in the climate talks with Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is critical for lawmakers trying to maintain momentum on an issue that has largely been kept on the sidelines while President Obama and Democrats focused on health care.

Comment: Why the LOCAL REPUBLICAN CLUBS are not censuring this “representative of the people” is beyond me. One can only say that if they do not censure him, then they agree with him. And if they do, then they are no different than the Socialist Democrats they are trying to defeat. Time for SC Republican Clubs to make a stand … I’m wondering “what” they stand for?
Petition to stop Graham and the National Identity Card
Now he’s teaming up with another Democrat trying to get a National ID Card … this man is a SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT!!!
What do you think Graham and Franken would have to laugh about?
