Graham: Hey, let’s hike gas taxes!

Gallup survey in which a grand total of 3% of Americans believe that their federal government charges too little in taxes.

Lindsey Graham has a plan sure to please that 3%, and his Senate Democrat friends are happy to have him along for the ride:

Why did they bother to get Graham involved at all? ... It turns out that Senate Democrats are a little smarter than Graham about the politics of such a move. They need a Republican front man/fall guy to protect them from Tea Party outrage

Who are in the demographics of that 3%? Who are they that don’t think we pay enough?

That would be very interesting.

“Who are in the demographics of that 3%?”
If they are real, they are probably too stoned/wasted to be able to actually tell how they view ANY point presented on a survey. Or they are ‘stuck on stupid’ dems.

I think Lindsey the big tax and spender has reached across the aisle one too many times.

Can't some private sector billionaire offer Mr. Graham a big private sector job to get him to resign? He's a whore and a dunce. He'll take the “munny.”

"Gallup survey in which a grand total of 3% of Americans believe that their federal government charges too little in taxes."

The only reason this idiot was elected is the RNC. We could only vote for no on “filibuster proof” senate by voting for Pansey Graham. Close our primaries and quit funding losers.

Graham, you idiot. Why don’t you just make damn sure that we have no recovery, not that one actually has started.

The Obama administration opposes the low tax hike, however, as ineffective as a curb on gasoline use. They want it higher, or they want the cap-and-trade bill passed. Likely, though, we would end up with both rather than one or the other — and a low tax increase now could easily get higher later.

So, Lindsey and some Dims are pushing a $.15 per gallon gasoline tax, but Obama wants a much higher tax, or a cap and trade bill.

It's insane to be screwing around with any plan based upon what's practically proven to be man-made, junk science rather than man-made global warming. The Republicans and some influential South Carolinians seriously need to get this grandstanding moron under control (and Juan McCain needs to be defeated so he won't come back and push Lindsey aside and resume his backstabbing ways).

I bet Juan is just green with envy and fuming while Lindsey gets to sit in and do all the backstabbing.

They don't know us very well, do they?

Does anybody know how Graham was reelected the last time? He already had a reputation for being a Democrat then.

He should get a job working as the aggrivating clown at the dunking take in the Carnival. I would spend all my dough throwing baseballs at him.

“It turns out that Senate Democrats are a little smarter than Graham about the politics of such a move. They need a Republican front man/fall guy to protect them from Tea Party outrage...”
