RIP Lindsey Graham

[andrew_j]

Rip.

Compounds may resolve more everyday to retire at 59.5 or 63.

Your objections are read, and noted.
But that does not change our position.
Take your criticism elsewhere.

You are not required to praise anyone here, but we don't use RIP threads to air grievances or debate the nuances of a career.
We don't allow politics for a reason, so there's no credible belief one could have that somehow it's OK to suddenly discuss once the person passes.

There have been lots of RIP threads I've simply chose to ignore because I didn't like or respect the person, but I'm adult enough to realize dancing on someone's grave is not civil conduct and will not be tolerated on BITOG.

You are free to set the record straight about any RIP person with your interpretation elsewhere, but not on this site.

Well stated. This is exactly how the site is expected to operate. I don't always agree with the decisions made by the moderator team but this is their house, and their rules.

Some posters in this thread have forgotten that you and I don't pay rent to live here.

Don't bite the hand that feeds.

And RIP Mr. Graham.

Great loss for our state. He was known to fight long and hard for benefitting South Carolina in Congress, some epic battles were between Lindsey and James Clyburn. Met him once when doing a security detail at one of his rallies. Guy had a wicked sense of humor and a rapier wit. Funny as all get out to see him dispatch hecklers without them even knowing they had been owned. He'll be missed.

Yeah - he voted for many appointments that were not from his side - and held strong when others did not do the same …

RIP
Praying for his family.
I believe that is about only thing that needs to be said at this time no matter what side of political side you are on he is human and has a family.

Graham was frequently and loudly traduced by people on both sides. It just never seemed to bother him. A man of firm conviction, RIP.

OK, we are done.

If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.

Basic manners.

Lost on those who just have to express their political position.
