A new poll says that if Lindsey Graham had to run for the Republican primary today, he would either totally or probably lose, which must be so harsh on his self-esteem. In “Lindsey Graham in Trouble with S.C. GOP Faithful” [PDF], a new groundbreaking research paper, the numbers outfit Public Policy Polling says 57% of South Carolina conservatives “pledge to vote for an unnamed primary challenger who is to Graham’s right,” because Graham talks to libruls all civil-minded and such. “Civil” is for wars, not for politics!
Only 32% of the “Palmetto Republicans” who stopped watching their shouty pundits long enough to answer the pollsters’ questions said they would reelect Graham, because he has talked temperature politics with John Kerry over cupcakes, and has also kept his yoga dates with Harry Reid. Also, he has not sponsored any bills requiring everyone in the U.S. to pray to the Confederate flag, because he is more committed to the rainbow flag of gayness.
“It’s a good thing for Lindsey Graham that he’s not up for election again until 2014,” said PPP President Dean Debnam. “This is not a good climate for Republicans who have attempted to be bipartisan to be running in.”
The junior senator of the Palmetto Bug state, Jim DeMint, still has the support of 67% of South Carolina Republicans because he’s a total wingnut. [Public Policy Polling]

This is not what Lindsey meant by “I loved Teabags.”
Based on that painting, Lindsey has a nice rack.
They don’t like him because he can’t commit adultery.
I blame Nikki.
If only Lindsey Graham had fucked Nikki Haley!
He needs to be like the rest of his state’s politicians and start fucking as many of the voters as possible. He’s got four years, so he should be able to “walk a ways down the Appalachian Trail” by then.
Onward Christian lemmings!
He needs to date Nikki Haley
[re=590339]Bordo[/re]: DAMN YOU!
[re=590339]Bordo[/re]: He’s likely the only S. Carolina Repubican who hasn’t.
I have been to South Carolina. Believe me, Lindsey, Sanford, Haley, DeMint and the whole goddamn state deserve each other.
[re=590349]weejee[/re]: Now, I have it on good authority that Andre Bauer has not either.
Graham and Bauer together, on the other hand…
The fuck kind of name is “Dean Debnam”?
Good old South Carolina! Down with libruhls! Down with people who might be in the closet but there is no proof! Down with bi…party…zan…ship! Down with big words!
This is a sign of the apocalypse, obvs.
[re=590339]Bordo[/re]: Hell, everyone else has.
Ha ha they figured out he’s gay.
But can he satisfy his top?
Voters have noticed how easily mesmerized he gets when he sees truck nutz.
That picture sends mixed signals to Republican voters. On one hand, there’s a man waving a French flag, which they’ll hate; on the other, there’s a little boy waving pistols around and firing them, which they’ll love. To break the tie, there’s a cross-dressing man, so on the whole, this will be well received by Republicans.
isn’t south carolina an oxymoron? or a synecdoche? or something like that?
If you have never tried praying to the Confederate flag then you shouldn’t knock it. tI give me the power.
[re=590380]dex[/re]: No, no. Synechdoche is in upstate New York. Every Oxymoron knows that!
Wait — he isn’t running for four more years? Do a lot of politicians worry about losing elections they’re not in? Because I think I might’ve found a new, completely unaccountable career taking polls for meaningless elections. For instance, Scott Brown is ahead of Nancy Pelosi in the race for Governor of Kansas in 2012 — I think both these candidates need to pay me money to tell them this sort of news. Oh, and Lindsey, for all his troubles in the latest election he isn’t in, is still doing really well in Narnia. And other deep closets.
Shouldn’t a guy named Graham have permanent Cracker Appeal?
[re=590391]JoeCool BigPecker[/re]: The losing battle flag of the treasonous losers, its magical, isn’t it?
He’s a soon to be graduate of the school of Lieberman. He majored in how to be a douche to both sides.
Lindsey Graham isn’t conservative enough for SC?
What the heck are SC voters looking for? Why don’t they just dig Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms or Jefferson Davis out of their graves?
[re=590416]coolcatdaddy[/re]: Not conservative enough. They’ll do better with Roy Harper, Joseph Goebbels, Ivan the Terrible or Atilla the Hun.
[re=590349]weejee[/re]: or Democrat – she doesn’t appear to be all that selective.
He’ll need to prove his conservative bona fides by sucking cock in a wetsuit.
[re=590341]Oblios Cap[/re]: Fucking voters IN S. CAROLINA, that is. He’s been fucking the rest of us for years.
On the plus side, if Rahm extends Graham an offer of federal employment, at least now Lindsey’s cabana boy can receive health coverage.
[re=590404]chaste everywhere[/re]: Win.
[re=590366]Prommie[/re]: Only Andre Bauer knows for sure.
Translation: 57% would vote for Lindsey’s “Top”.
[re=590366]Prommie[/re]: Who’s to say? He’s getting a little older, and a manwich is hard to manage even at the top of one’s game.
At least, the wingnuts are standing firm on their pledge to move the Republiklan Party farther to the right. If the 2006/2008 elections taught them anything, it’s that America wants to move farther to the right, that’s why they voted for Democrats.
He’s not attractive to the Republican faithful — dare we ask, “Faithful to what?”
