Lindsey Graham already wants to dilute the Republican Victory and the mandate from Americans by encouraging Republicans to work with Obama; his focus seems to be to get things back to business as usual in Washington. Hopefully, our congressional members realize that if they don't repeal Obama Care and dismantle Obama's Big Government, they will all be out of a job as of their next election cycle. Graham is fixated on pulling Obama to the center from out in Left Field or Marxist Hell; he chooses to ignore what is about to happen, what this election cycle is all about, the power and momentum of the TEA Party: perhaps he feels his position would be more stable if the TEA Party lost its control over newly elected law makers, after all, his RINO philosophy is obsolete if Republican goals are the complete repudiation of all things Obama- past, present, and future.
If Graham wants to follow Obama so faithfully, he should start out as a Community Organizer; there will be many openings in the near future when people cringe at the thought of a Community Organizer and the phrase becomes symbolic of an incompetent narcissist and useless wastrel.
Republicans in Congress should look for opportunities to work with President Obama in the next two years, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) suggested Tuesday evening."My belief is that, if we get back power in the House, and get close in the Senate, that we ought to really clamp down on spending and reform the government," Graham said on WVOC radio in South Carolina. "But we ought to not put ourself in a position of being the 'party of no' to hard problems. But we ought to sit down with the president and work on Social Security, come up with an energy policy without cap-and-trade.

Can someone explain to me what the hell is wrong with Lindsay Graham?
Seriously, all kidding aside, what is wrong with this guy? He behaves like he’s never had to work with democrats before, or seen what Obama’s doing to this country.
I know he’s a “moderate” or whatever the heck he thinks he is, but where does this stuff come from?
South Carolina.... is there anything in your Constitution to rid of this MORON..... NOW?
4 more years and by Lindsey.
Hey pussy-boy Gramnasty....GUESS WHAT?
YOU’RE NEXT!
Absolutely NOT, brain-dead!!! All we have to do is look around us to see what ‘working-with-the-idiot’ will get us.
NO MORE COMPROMISE; NO MORE GRAY AREAS; NO MORE PORK BARREL; NO EXCEPTIONS.
Either tow the line, Graham, or get ready to get gone!
Either 0bama has some dirt on Lindsey, or he has promised him a cabinet post.
The Republicans that don’t get the message the tea party is sending will be voted out in 2012 and beyond! The days of politics as usual are over!!!!
Unbelieveable. Lindsey Graham is a poster child for what is wrong with the GOP. Is he braindead? Does he not understand what is coming? All GOP representatives and senators are on notice: work with Obama and the democrat criminals at your own peril!
'Republican by day, Democrat by night'....supposedly his own words. He's even getting his hours now mixed up too.
Nah, he has promised Lindsey his secret slush fund can continue.
I suspect he is way more Democrat than we know, maybe even dealing cozy with the SC Dem party. I seldom hear any Dem ever criticize LG, not for anything. Hillbuzz seems to think that there is something in South Carolina that is very deadly to Democrats, some scandal the left is trying to contain, maybe connected to the Pigford farm settlement (remember Shirley Sherrod?).
It can't be that they're threatening to "out" Graham, which is often discussed. That he may be homosexual is no secret, and is a matter of bored indifference to South Carolinians. LG is not being blackmailed, because that is clearly pointless when everybody already believes he's gay.
That leaves the possibility of corruption of a more familiar variety--plain old money. Trying to figure out LG's motives has driven many a South Carolinian crazy. The Dems don't even put a good challenger to Graham--which must be because he's "their" Democrat from South Carolina.
So everyone from SC ought be be on LIndsey Watch. At some point, we'll be able to see the kind of deals he's been cutting.
Is there no good subject who will rid us of this meddlesome RINO?
Nov 3 starts a whole new RINO hunting season
As part of the old guard” he is trying to find some way to keep the personal power that he feels should be his due. The only way he can do this is to water down through any means possible the positions of the incoming freshmen Representative and Senators.
They only way he can do this is to become the media darling inside the beltway, The traditional measurement of power inside the beltway is how many media parties you are invited to. Remember McCain was the media darling until he became the Republican candidate then he was raw meat in front of the media wolves. The non-old guard Republicans understand that their road to continued power is to keep their campaign promises. Remember the establishment's collective horror that Bush 43 was actually attempting to keep his campaign promises? The new Congress will be divided between those who keep their words and those who don't. The 2012 elections will cull those who don't keep their word. After all, what does a politician have to sell us except his ability to keep his word? That is something Graham has forgotten if he ever learned it in the first place.
Can’t you people leave this RINO crap alone for just one day? We have a election to focus on.
Get out and vote, but please give us a break for at least one day.
BTW, I’ll match my documented, four decade long conservative record against anyone who posts here, so I am not supporting Grahame, but enough is enough.
Can one of you genius purists remind us who was the chair of his campaign and one of the biggest rah rah supporters of Graham in 2008?
