As I understand it, Lindsey was a lot more like DeMint when he first entered politics. As close as he is to McCain these days, I chalk at least part of it up to John turning another political figure to his way of thinking.

Once a political figure is elected, it’s darn near impossible to root them out from their own party. The Republican party would have none of it, and the grass roots is a hard way to dump a guy with little organized funding. McCain is a good example. He’s a real Mo Fo, and yet, he gets re-elected every six years.

You can see the dynamics at play right now.

I hope someone can replace Graham in 2014. I believe that’s when he’s up again.

Well I don't care if democrats keep nominating super liberals like Pelosi but I have serious problems with Republicans losing two elections in democrat landslides yet bring out the same old trash each election. Graham-nesty is a perfect example of why we need what I been preaching for years (read George Will's book back in 1993 titled Restoration), congressional term limits. We definitely need other limits on congress and president's power too. These Senators are arrogant after a few years.

Maybe McCain orchestrated the Chamber of Commerce “acquisition” of Lindsay.....or Soros and McCain.
