I just sent him an email and told him what I think (As politely as I could):
Senator-
I am writing you today in response to your vote of confirmation of Judge Sotomayor.
Clearly Sotomayor is an activist judge, and your vote to confirm her and give her a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court greatly undermines our representative democracy. What you did was a cop-out and a disgrace.
Your vote has once again shown the people of South Carolina that you do not represent our ideas and values nor our beliefs about where we should be going as a nation. You have violated your oath to uphold the constitution, and you should be ashamed.
Light em up boys:

Hows this one.....
Senator,
Although your vote matters very little, you've shamed yourself for not dissenting in the nomination of Judge Sotomayor.
Her actions scream activism and prejudice and an alternative choice was warranted in this case. You should have stood by the moral and ethical standards that your party stands for and made a better choice.
It appears that your just a talking head these days, saying whatever is necessary to get your face in front of a camera. Though I'm not one of your constituents, I ONCE had some respect for your position in the Senate.
No more!

Thats a great point.... He really gave her a tough cross examination and called her out for the crap fest that she is (all to score political points) and then went against everything he said and voted for her anyway.
-
He's already replied saying that "due to the overwhelming e-mails to his office he's unable to reply to anyone other than his own constituents!" etc.... etc....blah, blah, blah....
That's actually more than I've gotten from Kerry or Kennedy lately... >:(

I know what you mean, I still have not gotten even a form letter, "thank you for you letter" from MY Senator for the E bomb I sent her about her no vote on the Thune / Vitter CCW bill.

The more I read his reply, the more it upsets me!
If I'm not mistaken, he's a US Senator from the State of SC.
This was a vote for the US Supreme Court, not the appealate court, the district court or the court in his home town. How dare he ignore me!
-
I have to say that I am both dissapointed and surprised by this. Graham is one of the few social conservatives that I both respected and admired. He always had a well thought out reason for his position, didn't use bumper sticker slogans, but displayed intellect and some moral courage. He's not some one I would vote for, but I'd I'd shake his hand after the fight and invite him for a beer and mean it. He's also someone from the religious right I listen to. Yet Sotomajor hasn't shown me that she is anything more than an AA candidate. Too bad.

You need to remember that the average voter can not remember any thing that does not fit on a bumper sticker, in large print.

Its an automated response
It is what always goes out when ever you email him.... on the email that I link to there is the option of asking him to respond in writing to your correspondence...... he will mail you an actual letter addressing the specifics of your contact if you make the request..... although, he stopped mailing me the requested response when I truly told him off a while back and said that I was never going to vote for him again and that I was going to convince all my friends and family to also not vote for him.

He used to be a true conservative..... Until he hitched his wagon to McCain and is now a poster child RINO. I had a hunch he (and McCain) would vote for her and then get up and make the "elections have consequences" speech and talk about how its the president's right to appoint anyone he wants.
As far as him being from the "religious right".... he has been in line with religiously sensitive issues like abortion, but it has been long rumored that he himself is gay.

How can you call Graham a "social" conservative? Mr Amnesty himself. How socially conservative is it to want to give 11 million illegal aliens citizenship and free services paid for by us? Graham is nothing more than a weak RINO. He would crumble and probably be another Spectre if not for McCain telling him how to vote.

The old fart is still try to cling to the "Glory" of the Graham / Rudman balanced budget bill from the Reagan years.

He always seemed to be on board with Christian Right on abortion and the like. As I say, I wouldn't vote for him, but if you consider him to the left, you better get in line wth those writers on the Huffington Post who say BO has sold out to the right wing as someone who is destined to be hopelessly out of touch with mainstream American politics. Mind you, as a Libertrian I'd say c'mon in, the waters fine and some of those HuffPo girls are cute too. ;D

If he aint Right, then he has to be Left. Here is Senior Grahamnesty having a hissy fit on the floor of the senate and calling Americans that believe in the sovereignty of our nation bigots:

+1 on the Grahamnesty. He is from the same class of politics albeit different parties that pretty boy John Edwards came from....
It's all about opportunity! What I can I do now that I have a "some power"...
I hope the voters of SC, reflect what my former state of NC realized with Edwards,..,,,,regardless of party..They Suck!!!
Graham talks a good game, I hope he gets his pie hole crammed with voters during the August recess..
Way to stand on principles,....RINO....
-
Yes, those of us in SC are so proud. When can we vote him out of office? Answer: Not soon enough!

He just won reelection this past election...... we get the govt we deserve >:(

Anyone suprised that RHINO and assh%$e rhyme? >:(

Graham is a sellout just like the traitor Trent Lott....in the mold of Bush. Not that Bush wasn't the lesser of two evils...it's just a slighter slippery slope.

Modern politicians, are becoming more and more of the same cause to this countries problems. Regardless of party, one loses power and the majority vows to make it better,,,,than when in office are even worse than the previous.
Career politicians need to go, complicit Rino's, and the far left wackos need to go as well. Nothing gets done, it costs us "citizens" more to fund their bad policies, and our grandchildren will suffer because of it.
That's probably why Sarah Palin freaks so many out,,,,she doesn't give a flying "F***" about being ANOTHER politician.... the media and stereotypical pundits can't figure that out yet...

Even the "good ones need to Mussolini dangle for allowing the others to be scum bags with out making a stink about it. The best that can be said for any of them is "He's ONLY an accessory".
