Shilling or Schilling, I don’t see this column at NR as either.
I see this as a column to get the message out there: “hey guys, there’s no way you can defeat Graham so don’t even try. Don’t give him a hard time. Let him run unopposed. Don’t hold him accountable for his votes. It’s not worth it, and you may weaken in in the general election.”
This message is boilerplate and predictable and I keep my eye out for it. It’s February of 2013. Before long, I expect to see a similar story regarding Susan Collins and perhaps Lamar Alexander. They’re also trying to protect Mitch McConnell.
Graham and his liberal votes must be protected at all cost. I want him gone.
I’ve noticed in recent months in Sen. Graham has been taking positions much closer to my own. Maybe it’s because he’s up for re-election next year. Anyhoo....there is an old adage in politics....When someone is flipping in your direction, don’t complain about it.
Why, lookie here. I do a search on Susan Collins and what do I find??
