My favorite Republican

For a while, I've felt like Lindsey Graham was probably my favorite GOP Senator. I don't agree with him on a whole lot, but I feel like he is acting in good faith at least most of the time. I've also heard that he is John McCain (the sometimes Mavericky moderate and sometimes WTF rightwinger)'s closest ally in the Senate. He usually proves to be less crazy than say, Tom Coburn or Michelle Bachman. Not saying much, but it's something. I approve of Graham's Senatorship, even if I wouldn't vote for him.

Then this happened.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Republican leaders in a South Carolina county known as a GOP stronghold have voted to censure U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for working with Democrats on immigration and climate change.

It's the second time since November that Republicans in a South Carolina county have voted to censure the GOP senator.

Lexington County Republican Party Chairman Rich Bolen said Tuesday the county's executive committee voted 13-7 to rebuke Graham following more than an hour of debate late Monday.

In November, Charleston County Republicans censured Graham over climate change legislation.
