As the battle between the grassroots and the establishment sides of the Republican Party rages on, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is taking a very public stance on the side of the establishment.
“I’m going to embrace being a Chamber of Commerce Republican,” Graham said in an interview with The Greenville News in Greenville, SC this week.
The Chamber of Commerce represents the biggest group fighting on behalf of the GOP establishment in its ongoing battle with the Tea Party movement, becoming deeply involved in Republican primary elections and pushing comprehensive immigration reform on Capitol Hill.
“There’s a fight in our party about the sort of isolationism on foreign policy, libertarianism on domestic policy,” Graham said. “I’m a traditional conservative Chamber of Commerce Republican."
"I like the Chamber of Commerce. I like the idea that people compete against each other," he explained. "During the day, you come together for the common good. You’ll have insurance companies that compete against each other, you’ll have lawyers and bankers who basically fight for market share at the end of the day. But through the Chamber they try to come together and build up the community."
"That’s the way I think," Graham claimed. "When it comes to problem solving, Washington is broken and I think the solution is not more people yelling but somebody willing to roll up their sleeves and willing to fix problems like you have to do at the Chamber level and you have to do in the private sector.”

Graham appeared on the radio station WORD in Greenville and reaffirmed his reputation as a scum lying RINO. He refused to answer questions and came off as an elitist jerk.
Linda is dog meat. His approval rating in SC is 41%, and that’s a death sentence for an incumbent.
"I'm a hideous Crony Capitalist/Fascist who is bought and paid for, and I am proud of it!"
SC conservatives, unite behind Lee Bright. He has a proven record of conservatism as a State Senator! Do not divide the vote! Bright consistently polls ahead of the other contenders. They need to drop out and support Bright with all they’ve got or Graham will win via a split vote. How many times are voters going to fall for this maneuver?
“If we can’t even count on Republicans in a red state like South Carolina to pay attention and do the right thing, we as a nation are just too stupid to live”
Linda is running against four challengers. SC has a run-off primary system between the top two candidates after the primary. Linda barely has 42% percent approval in the state. He’ll be lucky to finish among the top two in the primary.
Yes Washington is broken and folks like Lindsey are why.
That was something I didn’t need to see. Bad Cripplecreek bad.
Yeah, we’re gonna jump on this one...
SC Conservatives: Please do your best to attend this event:
