Lindsey Graham went on Fox News yesterday to continue undercutting Ted Cruz and other conservatives on their strategy to defund and delay ObamaCare, and force the President’s hand on the budget. Graham stated that stopping ObamaCare was “unrealistic” and “a bridge too far”.
Lee Bright, the upstate Senator challenging Graham in the 2014 Primary, quickly responded, saying, “Lindsey Graham’s time in Washington is a career too far. He is so astonishingly out of touch with American conservatives, and he obviously has no idea how the leadership of Ted Cruz is playing outside the beltway. He and John McCain are the best friends of the Obama-Reid-Pelosi agenda, and it’s time we bring Graham home, and leave McCain to surrender to the Democrats by himself.”
Bright went on to add that “Lindsey Graham really doesn’t understand what a train wreck and an abomination that ObamaCare really is. If he did, he wouldn’t have been on the wrong side of the cloture vote, wouldn’t have taken his office phone off the hook, and wouldn’t have advocated for preferential treatment for himself and his staff. His behavior is just shameful, and yet, I feel like every time he speaks he’s airing an attack ad against his own campaign.”
Bright predicted that there would be continued outrage and backlash against Graham as his Fox News quotes penetrate the internet and talk radio, saying, “Graham may be below 30 percent in the next re-elect poll. He may be so blinded by the beltway group-think that he believes South Carolina Republicans are like New York or Massachusetts Republicans, but he’s about to find out this is not the case.”
after just reading the title....
....I laugh my rear off. as if he was anything but a liberal.

How exactly does one surrender to their own side?
One cannot surrender to one’s brother-in-arms

bingo....
Linda has always been a liberal.
It’s not so much that he’s a liberal, as it is, he has always surrendered to them on policy quickly. Moreover, its the issues where he is liberal that he focuses his entire energy and media time.....on those issues where he is conservative, he simply votes...but clearly it’s the anti conservtive stuff that animates him.
‘Surrender Lindsey’ ping ...
That is dead on, although I’d love to send McLame home too.
Ain’t That The Truth...LOL
“....a career too far....”
Love it! Great line! Lee rocks!
