At the South Carolina state GOP convention today, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) “used his remarks to embrace President Bush, just hours before he was to meet Bush at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.” But when Graham first mentioned Bush’s name, the GOP crowd stayed silent, refusing to applaud the President:
At his first mention of Bush’s visit, Graham paused, waiting for applause. When it didn’t come, it took a slight nod from Graham to prompt a round of applause.
“President Bush is my friend,” he continued, “and I’m not going to run away from the friend.”
Graham credited Bush with preventing additional attacks on the U.S. since 9/11, cutting taxes three times and successfully nominating Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“History is going to judge him a lot better than everybody thinks,” Graham predicted.
Graham, who is facing a primary challenge in the state, has tried hard to tie himself to Bush, even featuring the unpopular president in a TV ad.

Lindsey Gramm betrayed his oath, as an officer of the military and as a senator.
Lindsey apparently doesn't read the law, that's a shame-him being a lawyer and all...considering he helped a president break so many laws all at once. Traitor.
