After attending Obama’s Wednesday night GOP schmooze-fest with the rest of “yesterday’s mashed potatoes,” Sen. Lindsey Graham sneeringly called Sen. Rand Paul’s epic filibuster “ridiculous.” The South Carolina senator’s latest absurdity landed him a spot on many conservatives’ laminated you-know-what list.
McCain (D-AZ) Graham (D-SC)

To whom can I donate that is primarying @LindseyGrahamSC ?
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) March 7, 2013
Lindsay Graham couldn't wait to try & crush the GOP momentum. He's reminding conservatives why he's such a problem http://t.co/fWsYsvSTc8

The bufoon, @LindseyGrahamSC , is up for re-election in 2014. Time to find a really good candidate to run against him in the primary.

Grassroots conservatives have finally had enough of Graham and his pal John McCain. Calls to #PrimaryGraham are ramping up and at least two South Carolina bloggers — GayPatriot’s Bruce Carroll and RedState’s Ben Howe — expressed interest in becoming a pesky thorn in Graham’s way-too-comfortable side.
Expect either me or @GayPatriot to challenge Lindsey Graham in primaries. #seriously
— Ben Howe (@BenHowe) March 8, 2013
Who has a better chance? #GayPatriotForSenate in SC … or Ashley Judd for Senate in Kentucky?
Asking for a friend.

On Friday, Townhall.com editor Katie Pavlich tweeted that she’s “semi-seriously considering” a future run against Sen. McCain in Arizona. With South Carolina conservatives buzzing about unseating Graham, looks like it’s time for the #GayPatriotForSenate trial balloon:
If I can get a good fundraiser, I will run. #GayPatriotForSenate
RT @rlwood1: Now can we all please try to convince GP to primary Graham— GayPatriot™ (@GayPatriot) March 7, 2013
.@AblativMeatshld I'm serious. If enough people want me to file papers and I can get monetary help, I will run against Graham in 2014
— GayPatriot™ (@GayPatriot) March 7, 2013
.@AmericnElephant If no one serious challenges him, yes. He should not get a free pass. #GayPatriotForSenate

So, what can we expect from Senator GayPatriot ?
If elected, I will read Tweets daily from voters in South Carolina on the floor of the US Senate. #GayPatriotForSenate #SCpol
— GayPatriot™ (@GayPatriot) March 7, 2013
If elected, I would introduce legislation to end pensions for Members of Congress & Federal bureaucrats. #GayPatriotForSenate

@ConservativeZak My position: Voters/Legislators should decide on defining marriage; I prefer civil unions and religious liberty protections

Whether #GayPatriotForSenate will evolve into something more than a hashtag remains to be seen. But tongue-in-cheek or not, conservatives on Twitter love the idea and the endorsements are rolling in.
After all the @GrahamBlog nonsense, I nominate @GayPatriot to primary that punk. #GayPatriotForSenate
— Kemberlee Kaye (@KemberleeKaye) March 7, 2013
@GayPatriot for Senate, because I can't wait to hear homophobic slurs coming from MSNBC and the NYT. #GayPatriotForSenate

#GayPatriotForSenate is so bipartisan, he could even unite Gamecock & Tiger fans to restore our constitutional liberties. @GayPatriot #SCpol

Uniting Gamecock and Tiger fans? Now that would be impressive.
Future SC Senator @GayPatriot & future AZ Senator @KatiePavlich? That's some #changeyoucanbelievein.
