Previously Aired On: July 5, 2007 - Listen to this Show!
Senator Robert Graham is arguably Florida’s most popular politician, having won five consecutive state wide elections. Yet, until recently, this millionaire senator was not well known outside his home state. After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Robert Graham, who headed the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, saw his profile rise.
He ran for President of the United States in 2004. Senator Robert Graham has been a Florida politician for most of his life. He first entered the government as a state representative in 1966, serving two terms before moving on to the Florida State Senate in 1970. After completing his second term in 1978, Robert Graham ran for governor. In 1986, after serving his second and final term as Florida’s governor, Robert Graham decided to run for the Senate. He won, and was reelected in 1992 and 1998.
Though initially not well known in the state, Graham had increased his visibility through a series of “workdays” in which he labored alongside common people in a variety of jobs. Helped by a generous infusion of his own money, Robert Graham founded and chaired the Senate New Democrat Commission, a coalition of pro business Democrats. He was also on the Committee of Environment and Public Works, where he helped pass several environmental bills, including a $7.8 billion Everglades restoration law. Graham was involved in forming his party’s stance on prescription drug coverage for seniors, and also served on the Energy and Natural Resources, Finance and Veterans Affairs Committees.
As chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Graham played a key role in the report that analyzed U.S. intelligence failures leading to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
I am appauled that you would support Obama for president. More so that you are participating in the biggest fraud being committed on suffering americans by supporting a tax plan that will never come to fruition. ACORN is perpetrating fraud in the electorate and you are aligning yourself with the man who has trained them to do this. You sir are not fit to serve in the senate and I pray that the American people exercise what little power we have left in the electorate and vote you and your lying croonies out of the Capital Building. Shame on you Mr. Graham.

I cannot believe that you would publicly support Raul Martinez. What a sleazebag! I thought you had more integrity than that. You should be ashamed.
