A couple hundred posts in this thread are in near unanimous comdemnation of Graham. He is but one of not a few RINOs who have lost touch with the people who put them in office. These RINOs are so wrapped up in themselves and their power that they do not give a damn about things like winning the war, controlling illegal immigration, stopping the out-of-control spending, or supporting constructionist judges. Staying in power and getting fawning TV coverage are all they live for.
Yet if anyone in these threads suggests that these people are not deserving of our support nor deserving to be in power, and should be replaced, that suggestor will be pilloried and ridiculed and called a "cut-and-run" misfit.
We get the government we deserve. Lindsey Grahams and Chuck Hagels and Lincoln Chaffees exist because we trade tactical victories for strategic defeats. In combat, you sometimes have to retreat and regroup, so as to move on with better, stronger, and motivated forces.
Two years from now when little Lord Lindsey is up for re-election, the same arguments we hear this year about having to vote for Republicans no matter what their behavior will be used to keep Lindsey Graham in office.
Don't complain about Lindsey Graham now unless you are willing to get rid of him in two years. And then rationalize why you shouldn't use the same logic with the Lindsey clones who are running this year.
Hmmmm....
susie
And greetings to you from the greater Salem area!
You're close enough to Seneca to know that Miss Lindsey is quite popular around here. I think it will be the Low Country vote that will remove Graham from office.
Probably true, but he is one vote closer in the upstate to being removed!
(_8(|) DOH!
I remarked to a friend from SC not long ago that Senator McCain needs to have a stop light installed on his rear end, so that Senator Graham does not injure himself if Mr. McCain stops suddenly.
This dweeb has "I Want The NY Times To Love Me Syndrome" a la McCain
Huzzah! You are exactly right. Bears repeating and marking for those that run scared when someone questions the intelligence of voting for a RINO.
Well done.
