Okay..what’s happened???
“While our sources declined to elaborate on the specific debt ceiling strategy that Graham advocated at this meeting, they said that he gave an impassioned speech that in no uncertain terms recommended calling U.S. President Barack Obama’s bluff.”
“Graham’s South Carolina consultant, Richard Quinn, says that Graham is firmly committed to the “cut cap and balance” proposal that cleared the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this week. That plan calls for the adoption of a balanced budget amendment and a cap on the growth of government in future years – as well as modest immediate cuts.”
Will he convert because of this:
“Locally, it impacts what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated electoral battles in South Carolina history. In 2014, Graham is likely to be challenged by S.C. Senator Tom Davis (R-Beaufort), the leading fiscal conservative in the S.C. General Assembly.”
Or does someone on our side have better blackmail evidence than the Dem side??
It’s just too weird.
“It’s just too weird.”
Yeah and I don’t trust Graham any farther than I could throw him...
Had to be a prayer or a promise, perhaps, or a bribe?
You hit the nail on the head. Lindsey is taking a page out of the McCain playbook for re-election. Pretend to be a tea party conservative.
Hatch has been talking like a tea partier too.
What a shock—US Senators value their re-election over their, er, ah...principles?
“Okay..what’s happened???”
He knows it won’t make it through the Senate and he’s posturing to look like a re-electable conservative.
