CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Friday the GOP lost the White House because the party was tainted by corruption, overspending and "sometimes came across as a bunch of grumpy old men."

. . . . .

"All we have to do is go back to the basics of fiscal conservatism, with a smile and come up with new ways to communicate with the younger voter," said Graham, who captured 58 percent of the vote in winning re-election against a little-known opponent.

"I don't believe they are all liberal," Graham said. "I think they were attracted to his positive message and we sometimes came across as a bunch of grumpy old men. We have got to knock that off."

No #%(@%, Sherlock! How long did it take you to figure that out?!!!

[rabscuttle385]

Looks like Lindsey is scared now that his master McCain is defeated and Rahm Emanuel is up on high...ping!

[elizabetty]

Obama is positive this country sucks.

[News Junkie]

Can we please be done with Lindsey the snarling sycophant Graham now?

[freekitty]

Go away Graham. The Republican does not need or want you.

Hey, Twinkle Toes, take some of your own advice and
“Shut Up”
Loser! Move aside and let some real men run the show for a change. Go on back to Floyds Barber Shop and reflect, or something.

Hey, Lindsay Grahnesty, you had YOUR CHANCE to do something about the GOP and how diseased it is with RINOism. And what in the hell did you do about it? Did you EVER take off your knee pads?

My husband and I voted against him in the primary. I cannot understand why he won it. Maybe because we have an “open” primary system? *shrugs*

I love SC (am a transplant from Florida), but the open primaries here have got to go!

Senator Lindsey Graham sits down to pee.

[roses of sharon]

Hussein is an anti-American...how is that positive?

Graham should have said he will watch Obama closely for us, and prevent him from destroying this country.

THAT is the headline the public should see.

WHY ARE REPUBLICANS ALWAYS KISSING DEM ARSE?

"All we have to do is go back to the basics of fiscal conservatism, with a smile and come up with new ways to communicate with the younger voter," said Graham, who captured 58 percent of the vote in winning re-election against a little-known opponent.

Umm...yeah. First thing we need to do is cleanse the party of Senators that only get 58% of the vote against unknown opponents, vote for all the big gov't spending programs and talk about new ways of communicating with younger voters.

[pollywog]

can we make a list of those we are planning on tossing overboard?? We will start with Lindsey.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Always nice to hear from the female Senator from SC.

"...Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said Friday the GOP lost the White House because the party was tainted by corruption, overspending...".

Senator Pot, meet Senator Kettle.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Conley ran on $25K-$30K.

Conley came out of nowhere. He is more conservative than Graham. And, he ran without the support of the Democratic Party, financial or otherwise.

The conservatives are coming for you in 2014, Lindsey, if Rahm doesn't get you first.

Now that the election is done, I can say it: Lindsey Graham SHUT THE HELL UP!

[JrsyJack]

I’ll donate Specter. I’m not really from PA anymore but NJ is beyond each for now.

"sometimes came across as a bunch of grumpy old men."

Sayeth the taint.

[JrsyJack]

Dems ran several “conservatives” again this year as they did in 2006. Most toed the line once elected though. House has a few true Blue Dogs

[counterpunch]

we sometimes came across as a bunch of grumpy old men.

That's your buddy John McCain you're talking about there, Lindsay.
Some friend you are!

And the GOP is mostly tainted because of Bush, McCain, and Graham's amnesty scheme.
Why don't these guys figure out that naturalizing 25 million illegal aliens means a permanent Democrat majority and the wholesale looting of our national treasury by Mexico?
