On Friday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., issued a tweet touting his vote to defund Obamacare, but a number of people took him to task, Twitchy said, calling the embattled Republican a liar. While Graham did vote with other Republicans to defund Obamacare, he joined a number of Senate Republicans in voting for cloture -- a key vote that allowed Majority Leader Harry Reid to put funding for the massive law back into the continuing resolution.
"I proudly voted to #DefundObamacare and am proud every Senate GOPer united in support of the House-passed #DefundObamacare provision," Graham tweeted.
"With Dems in control of Senate we needed Dems to join with the American people who want Obamacare stopped in its tracks," he added some time later.
But those tweets didn't sit well with quite a few people.
"[S]top lying.....we all know what you did," one person said.
"Enough with your lame excuses. You failed the American people," another person said in response.
Twitchy called Graham's messages "unbelievable."
"Do you really think you can get away with that, Senator?" the Twitchy staff asked. "Do you really think we’re that stupid?"
"[Y]ou are counting on conservatives to be stupid," one person tweeted. "We are not. That only works for Obama supporters."
"Don't treat us like we're stupid. We weren't looking for another symbolic vote," another person added.
Another Twitter user called Graham's statement a "bald faced lie" and said the Senator was engaging in tactics used by Democrats.
Twitchy captured a number of tweets calling Graham a liar, taking him to task for refusing to vote against cloture -- the vote that really mattered in the battle to defund Obamacare.

Dan Coats of Indiana is saying the same thing.
So did McConnell. But they’re not fooling anybody. They can shut down their phones but look at the comments on their facebook pages!
Collaborator is all he is
Graham is getting hammered on FB too.
The GOP made the mistake of putting three Doormat Republicans in for the final innings of three important POTUS Games.
Batter “Doormat” Dole struck out first, “Doormat” McCain struck out second, and then “Doormat” Romney was called out on three strikes right down the middle.
All that training, and he didn’t even swing! In fact, the bat never left his shoulder. However, Romney did have a great smile and good hair.
With the POTUS Game lost, the GOP Big Tent fell into disrepair.
Gradually, the increasing stench made it obvious that the old GOP had died when Romney lost in 2012.
We are just now finally casting off the dead weight of the old GOP in the Senate.
We are looking forward to the Senate Primary Season.
The lingering stench of the putrid GOP dead weight was decreased a lot this week by nice cool breezes coming out of TEXAS and Utah.
One benefit of a battle is to find out for sure who your hidden enemies are.

Graham? There’s a related nearby posting of an article about skunks. Too bad this Demagogue Senator isn’t really on our side.
Don’t forget John Cornyn!!!
this is how Smart People operate, “we” are just not capable of thinking on their level.../s
“I voted against it before I voted for it”
He is a liar as are the other 26 Republicans who joined Democrats to cut off debate but will claim the same things back home to their constituents.
Cornyn the backstabbing pos from Texas is telling the same lie.
