LINDSEY GRAHAM: Republicans Are In A 'Demographic Death Spiral,'
Business Insider ^ | 06/16/2013 | Brett Logiurato

Posted on 06/16/2013 1:41:10 PM PDT by Carbonsteel

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is bullish about the chances of an immigration reform bill passing the Senate — and he says Republicans need to pass it to avoid falling further into a "demographic death spiral" that could hurt their chances in the next two big election cycles.

"If we don't pass immigration reform, if we don't get it off the table in a reasonable, practical way, it doesn't matter who you run in 2016," Graham said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.

That’s wisdom, IMO.

Maybe, we should stop paying the dumbest members of our society to reproduce and reward the best and brightest to reproduce instead. The Welfare State is exploding, while the productive class is shrinking. It's not about race so much as it is about 43% of America producing most of the children and increasing their numbers at the workers expense. Allowing for illegal immigration will only contribute to this by allowing in more people who want in on the freebies. Legal immigration, on the other hand brings in smarter, harder working people who want to better the lives of themselves and their families. It also provides for assimilation, which keeps our country strong. Diversity is not a strength, it's a weakness.

Lindsey boy is absolutely correct...If the Republicans block the amnesty deal, turn these criminals into upstanding American citizens, the illegals will vote straight Democratic in the next elections...

Somebody please shut this pillow biter up.

Just curious. Why do you think that Graham is a homosexual? You are not alone, many Freepers do.

The problem is that I have never seen any evidence to support this "suspicion." To the best of my knowledge, he has never been seen with or other identified as having a "partner" nor has there ever been any allegations in the media (yes, I Know, they cover for him but if there were something some media outside the MSM would report it).

I will grant that he is effeminate and all that but where's the evidence?

I have no evidence at all. I just despise him along with his effeminate behavior. Mostly it’s the despise part.

He always told me that when you see government officials and other people in power doing things that go against the law or ignore blatant criminal acts and corruption, and things are crazy and simply make no sense then there is a good chance people at the top are being bribed, threatened or blackmailed .

That's probably true for some of these guys, but I don't believe they're all corrupt. I guess stupid is the only other explanation.

Other than that, the only thing left to wonder is what Hillary's monument look like after she "saves the Union" again and all.

The inscription may look something like this:

"...that we here highly resolve that these tissue masses shall die in vain -- that this nation, under socialism, shall have a new death of freedom -- and that this government of abortion, by abortion, for abortion, shall not perish from the earth."

He may not be. Truth being that I don’t care either way. What I do care about are his liberal tendencies. He gets behind some of the worst bills. Just when he pisses me off I sometimes say that. A little childish, I know.

He actually made several delusional comments, in addition to this one....

Graham said passing the bill is a political necessity for the GOP. “If we don't pass immigration reform, if we don't get it off the table in a reasonable, practical way, it doesn't matter who we run in 2016,” he said. “We're in a demographic death spiral as a party.

The only way we can get back in the good graces of the Hispanic community, in my view is pass comprehensive immigration reform.”

Graham said a candidate like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush could win the White House in 2016 if Republicans back immigration reform.

Three strikes and you're out, Linda! If passing this crap sandwich means "a candidate like Jebby could win the WH in 2016", then especially NO THANKS!!

The reason this makes no sense is that he's lying about his intentions.

Something tells me this will be a good week to listen to Rush for useful insight on the real reason the rinos are pushing this.

Your GOP-E boy is speaking.

Well Johnny.....now you've gone to lying. Congrats, you may get on the "stupid @sshole" list with Normy after all. So far, you haven't stooped to lying in our conversation, we just disagreed on whether or not to vote for a RINO versus allowing a Stalinist to get reelected and continue to ruin this country. So far we've just disagreed, I guess your association with Norm has turned you into his kind of person, a gross liar.

Anyone who would say I support this fool is either just plain stupid, lying, malicious, or doesn't care to understand truth. Care to ask yourself where you fit in those categories?

You can apologize for being stupid on this issue (claiming I like Lindsay and his ilk), but if you persist in this kind of lie, you'll be just like Norm. Stupid, wrong, AND immorally so. You'll be perfect together as a posse, defiling FR with your so called "pure" comments. Most people call those lies.........

Hey look the trained seal is performing!

How was fathers day? Too bad some potential fathers in Mass couldn’t celebrate it. You know...since some person like you helped Mr severe abortion funder help eliminate their kids with his personal cash and law pen.

I’m sure a would be dad there would have loved to go shooting with his child to celebrate the day, but The severe gun grabber took that from him too.

To say nothing of the Dads who lost kids to aids thanks to the Severe friend of homosexuals (even better than Ted!) making homosex so user friendly.

But their kid died miserably because some POS thought Romney was a lesser evil back in his governor days.

Oh well...not like you care.

Oh good.

Norm appears with his lies and BS comments once again.

You always remind me of the guy in this picture, incapable of understanding how dumb and malicious you really are.
