One South Carolinian's Intervention Letter to Sen. Lindsey Graham (RINO-SC)

Not that the senator will ever hear or listen to any of this advice until post-election day 2008 where he gets slaughtered at the ballot box and sent mercifully to the Senate unemployment line, but Fed Up in SC stages a great intervention at the Dump Lindsay Graham blog here. I have nothing to add re: Senator Lindsey "Hissy Fit" Graham, but more generally, I'm sick of Republicans like him giving the Dems the political cover they need to destroy America one ridiculous bill at a time. So starting in 2008, I'll take 41 committed conservative GOP senators (enough to sustain a filibuster) over 49 or even a majority for the GOP thanks to the likes of RINOs. Senators Graham, McCain, Specter, Warner, Craig, et al., your days are numbered, count on it. This immigration fiasco has exposed you as the camera-loving, constituent ignoring, MSM fawning closet liberals you really are. Get your rolodexes updated and your resumes polished, you're going to need them both.

To: Senator Lindsey Graham

From: The People Who Elected You

Dear Senator Graham:

We are reduced to this: we now BEG YOU to represent us. You have lost your way in Washington, and consider this, if you will, an intervention. We have reasoned with you, we have threatened you, we have cajoled you, we have prodded you. Now, we reach the end of our collective rope, and we beg, plaintively, that you open your eyes, see the error of your ways, and begin to do what you have, so far, refused to do: represent the interests and views of those who elected you to serve them: South Carolinians.

We will start with a basic truth: you are not smarter than the rest of us. You don't believe it, but it is true. You have done well in life, but you have also had a tremendous amount of help, much of it from the very people you have now turned your back on. You are not intellectually superior to the folks in Central, SC, or South Carolinians in general. So, stop, STOP, telling us that we just don't understand. We DO understand. We understand very well. We understand that we elected you to represent us in Washington, and you have, so far, failed miserably to do that. WE UNDERSTAND!

Another fact that you will struggle to believe: you are not a rock star. You have captured the imagination of the liberal media because you are something of an enigma: a folksy, single, effeminate, military-veteran Republican southern senator. You are famous in the way Liberace was famous, or for a more recent example, Anderson Cooper. To the majority of South Carolinians, you are an embarrassment.

So now, we beg you with all that is in us to use your last year in office to right the many wrongs you have perpetrated on South Carolina. The following is your path to redemption, your recovery plan, your "detox", if you will:

- Stop running for Vice-President with John McCain. We call you Lindsey McGraham for a reason. We do not want you in the muddy middle. South Carolinians do not reside in the muddy middle. We reside in the land of conservatism, in the land of family values, in the land of rights and protections for American citizens. To be blunt, we need your head out of John McCain's ass, and in DC representing our interests, not running for VP. It is simple.

- Get out of bed with Ted Kennedy and Hilary Clinton. Every time we see you hip-locked to these two, we are sickened. We DO NOT WANT YOU TO WORK WITH THESE TWO PEOPLE!!!! Again, WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO WORK WITH THESE TWO PEOPLE!!!! We wish we could be clearer, but we don't know how.

- Get off of television. Enough said.

- STOP promoting the rights of terrorists at the expense of the rights, safety and well-being of South Carolinians and Americans. You are the poster child for the "rights" of terrorists who would like nothing more than to come to South Carolina and slice off our children's heads with machetes. You WROTE THE BILL that makes it easier for terrorists to COME TO SC AND SLICE OFF OUR CHILDREN'S HEADS WITH MACHETES. Senator, we are ashamed of you. You have to stop this. This is not what we want you to do. PLEASE STOP!

- Stop promoting the rights of foreign criminals, illegal aliens, at the expense of the rights, safety and well-being of South Carolinians and Americans. Again, you are the poster child for granting amnesty to those who would steal our great country away from us, and WE ARE SICK OF IT. STOP IT!!

- And stop calling us bigots, just because we believe in the rule of law, and don't agree with you that amnesty for 20 million criminals is the right path for America.

- Finally, STOP telling us that we just don't understand, that if we had your intellect and vision, we would see it your way. You have comitted the cardinal sin of a politician: you have begun to believe your press. You listen much more closely to your handlers, and DC insiders, than to your constituents. The public outcry you hear against you in South Carolina is not a small, organized minority. It is the voice of the majority begging you, pleading with you, to fulfill your promise and responsibility to the people who elected you:

Please represent us.
