Sen. Lindsey Graham, a longtime friend and ally of Sen. John McCain, is now going a step further, Democrats say, and actually becoming the new McCain.

Senior members of the majority party say the South Carolina Republican has displaced his Arizona mentor as the dealmaker on two big agenda items of the Obama administration: climate change and immigration.

As McCain, on the heels of his presidential election defeat, has distanced himself from Democrats, Graham has moved in to fill the vacuum.

“Time to launch a Retire Graham campaign.”

The queer pile of crap has 5 years to go!!!!

One thing you do not have to worry about is Lindsey as presidential mat’l.

Lindsey Graham detests the voters of South Carolina. He was just recently at Furman University snippily calling the angry people at a townhall "white people"--and white people in South Carolina shouldn't expect representation from McCain's arrogant little prick.

He's got an enormous war chest from out-of-state lobbyists who want open borders and fuel taxes. His other big source of funds are trial lawyers. He's a thieving ambulance chaser, himself. He's everything the left could love.

He's untouchable for five years.

If you want to annoy Lindsey, do everything you can to knock McVain out of the primaries.

I know, but I was really amazed that there was no serious challenger in 2008 after all his amnesty supporting and general RINO behavior. IIRC, the Sec. of State was expected to be a strong challenger, but ended up with some ethical problems and no good challenger ever emerged.

But a big war chest shouldn't keep a flaming RINO in office in SC. Something odd about that

Well, it’s not like the SCGOP was any kind of help. But a no-name, non-funded opponent got 30% of the primary vote. Think about that—someone unknown and broke got a third of the republicans who voted in the primaries.

McLoser’s Senate term is up so he’s faking right. He has his mini-me ‘Rat, Lindshay, as his Liberal surrogate so he can claim he’s Conservative. McDemocrat must be defeated at all costs.

Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

If McCain is re-elected next November, we are truly screwed.

He will return to his liberal ways, and then we will have McCain+Graham+Democrats+Obama for a MINIMUM of two years. And believe me, the ol' bastard has a tendency to hold grudges.
