Sen. Graham: A government shutdown is not in the GOP's political interest (BARF ALERT)
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2010-03-29 | Jordan Fabian

A government shutdown is not in the Republican Party's self-interest, a top GOP senator said Tuesday.

Lindsey Graham is a “teabagger” in the truest sense of the word.

Graham’s trolling. He knows the powers-that-be will never shutdown government.

So Linday means to say that in any case Republicans must cooperate, perhaps grovel, but altogether cave in to democrats, do whatever it takes to throw over the Republican elections of November, all principle, and actually the Republic, just to avoid a shutdown?

Fat chance.

He (RINO neocon Graham) wants to fund his new toy war against the guy they gave our $$$ to until they decided we should start a war with them with our $$$. That takes congress flowing our $$$:

I vote for a long shutdown as long as the laid off government employees never get retroactive pay!!!

If they get retroactive pay a shutdown will servr no purpose.

Shut it down and then go home. I support that completely. BTW The federal government need never come back. The nation would be much better off.
