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.

They full well knew they were screwing us the whole time, so they are getting an early start on damage control. Alexander has been running radio ads here for weeks saying he is working against Obamacare and for Tennesseans.
Just villainous. I am SO sick of this horse puckey.
We’re working on it here in SC. I like what I see so far. From the same article..
A Clemson University poll recently found that only 31 percent of the state’s GOP primary voters intend to vote for Graham.
“This is the lowest ‘re-elect regardless’ figure I have seen for any incumbent in 20-odd years of polling except for one other lower figure,” said Clemson political science professor Dave Woodard. http://www.examiner.com/article/conservative-groups-slam-obama-republicans-for-obamacare-funding-vote
Yea!! He keeps trying to change the subject but no matter what he brings up they hammer him on his treacherous vote!!The bastards a real piece of work....it’s like he doesn’t know ted Cruz was elected eight months ago!!
Just for the hell of it I went to Peter Kings FB and they’re hammering him too. Not one post positive for him!!
Richard Burr (R-NC) is also taking a beating on his Facebook page...
GOP-E .... Good label for piss poor polidiot liars like Lindsey the loser....
Stay safe !
With a Republican like Lindsey, who needs Democrats...
The only reason Cornyn is still in office is name recognition. I doubt he’ll be able to hold onto his office next time.
I hope you’re right. I’ll never vote for him again!
Lamar Alexander’s FaceBook page is covered with the same sentiments.
The old-guard get-alongs are toast. They have no idea what a shellacking is heading their way.
Look at their Twitter and FB feeds. Someone told them they needed a presence on social media, but they are too stupid/lazy/arrogant to watch over what gets posted in reply to their Bravo Sierra. They have no clue that the tool they intended to use for campaigning is being used against them with stunning regularity. Instead, they just go on, posting the same old lines and lip-service nonsense that used to work for them— in the 1980’s. People this disconnected from reality have no business representing us.
TEA Party groups, put your money together and buy billboard space in states where these senators are running next time. Tell the public how the vote went!!
This is the “Show-Vote” stuff Ted Cruz was talking about on Rush. It is the exact equivalent of John Kerry’s “I voted for the 87 billion before I voted against it.”
SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,
SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,
SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,
SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,SHOW-VOTE,
We should burn that moniker into their stinking foreheads!
