Regardless of a person's political view we need to at least maintain a level of respect for each other. Unfortunately I really question the leadership skills in our legislators. THis kind of behavior is not and would not be tolerated in most private sectors although I am not naive enough to think there aren't some sectors this would be acceptable. In any case good job speaking out professionally on the issue. 2010-02-23T22:42:29Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-02-23:/comment/186400 Anonymous http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7649462083172014414# 2008-01-15T08:19:13Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-01-15:/comment/169 judithkratochvil I believe Sen. Graham does a wonderful job even though on some things I disagree with him. I particularly agree with his participation in th Gang of 14 and him not backing down on the Geneva Convention. The immigration bill was an attempt to solve a problem. It may not have been a grand solution, but it was an attempt. I like Sen. Graham's common-sense approach to most issues. I have my differences with him, on the Iran resolution and until recently his sticking by the President on Iraq. I think he tells us the truth when he returns from a trip to Iraq and his military service is an asset. 2010-02-15T01:40:24Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-02-15:/comment/185130 ditchmitchthebitch I think Senator graham does a wonderful job of being a lying hypocritical loser. He calls out the president for wanting trials in court when the shoe bomber was tried in court. Lyndsay is a skank ass liar. 2010-02-03T18:22:12Z tag:opencongress.org,2010-02-03:/comment/183417 DOUGLASFIELD SENATOR, NOW THAT THE PEOPLES U.S.CONGRESS HAS DOCUMENTED OUR UNJUST AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM,HAVE YOU HEARD IF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT KNOWS WHERE AND WHEN WE CAN ALL WATCH THESE POSSIBLE WRONGFUL EXECUTIONS TAKE PLACE ?

Georgetown had an opportunity several years ago to become the site of a Modern state of the art oil refinery with no environmental impact. We should promote offshore drilling right here in SC and with an oil refinery located here as well we would have a large increase in jobs and prosperity for the State as well. We need to break foreign dependence on oil. Had the oil refinery been proposed today the small opposition to it would have been loudly overcome by the longstanding South Carolinains with common sense. A modern day oil refinery is much cleaner than a paper mill. I have generations of relatives in Georgetown SC that are not opposed to a refinery. 2009-05-22T00:21:34Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-05-22:/comment/107794 kevinmcc Way to bash libertarians.

It is interesting that there was more outrage over Joe Wilson's outbreak than there was over what prompted it. No one in the media or in politics disputed the fact that Mr. Wilson was right, just that he shouldn't have said it. What is wrong here? 2009-11-03T07:19:50Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-11-03:/comment/159533 baldeagle I can't figure out who is the bigger villian in our current predictament, the congress or the media. The republican party lost their way after the 1994 cantract with America, maybe due to media reporting. We need to return to conservative values. The media is so biased toward the left and the congress is more concerned with their own reelection and the power they presume they have. I think America is waking up. Maybe enough will vote out incumbents and vote for someone who cares more about saving America than their own power. 2008-06-11T17:57:12Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-06-11:/comment/23037 Anonymous I have not had the opportunity to read the entire text of HR 6049...I have not had the necessary week or so to do it. But I have to question Sen. Graham's vote on this issue. Unless Sen. Graham was not IN the Senate at the time of the vote, I wonder why he feels this bill is SO bad for the U.S. and SC that it does not even warrant discussion. 2009-05-22T00:22:20Z tag:opencongress.org,2009-05-22:/comment/107795 kevinmcc Lets hope next election the libertarians get you out of office. 2008-10-19T15:59:14Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-10-19:/comment/51196 DOUGLASFIELD WHAT IF OUR US CONGRESS COULD REALLY CARE LESS TO OFFER JUSTICE TO POORER AMERICANS ???

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE $LOWLY FINDING OUT HOW EA$Y IT I$ FOR MIDDLE CLA$$ AND WORKING POOR AMERICAN$ TO FALL VICTIM TO OUR U$ MONETARY JUDICIAL $Y$TEM. ****WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY **** The prison experts have reported that there are 100,000 innocent Americans currently being falsely imprisoned along with the 2,300,000 total US prison population nationwide. ***WHERE ARE AMERICA'S RELIGIOUS LEADERS ??????? Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials. This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals. This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!! Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus with our US FEDERAL COURTS and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice! For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system. It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$. This FACADE and HORROR of our Federal Appeal proce$$ is not worthy of the Greatest Country In The World! ***GREAT SOCIETIES THAT DO NOT PROTECT EVEN THEIR INNOCENT, BECOME THE GUILTY !
