There are a handful of Republicans that are standing up to the "Tea Party"
   

Lindsey Graham is one of them.

Lost among all the other news yesterday was the fact that Graham voted "yes" to Elena Kagan in the judiciary committee yesterday.

He was the only Republican to do so.


A couple weeks ago, he spoke negatively about the Tea Party as well.



Every once in a while, there is a Republican who is not completely overboard. Lindsey's wrong about a lot of things, but he doesn't seem to have "teh evil" that most Republicans in congress have.

You all can have him.

1. They kis their asses and say "pretty please" here in Cupcake Land.

And if the dems had started impeachment proceedings on Boooooshhhhh cuz of all your whining would they be kissing your asses?

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Lindsey is one RINO that I would love to see get the boot.
Liberalism Is The Philosophy Of The Stupid

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Well, that fruity bastard really does need to go, but he's not my Senator so I can't really do much about it.

He looks like such a girl.  He's not up for reelection for another 4 years.  Gad.  If you go to Gradegov.com's Lindsey Graham Page you can see his constituents tear him a new one.  Unhappy campers.   He looks like such a dork in his photo, too.

  • Look at my BIG feet! Woof!
Graham is on his way out and he knows it. What he is doing now is nothing more than special political favors to allow him to re-align himself for a post-politician career as a lobbyist or "adviser" to a different puppet master.

I am a member of the local Tea Party....and 4 years from now I will be doing my best to see to it that he is defeated....I don't forget and I don't forgive.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Really on things that matter like putting a liberal fascist that will not enforce the First and Second Amendment like Kagan on the SCOTUS, why even have a RINO like graham?

He is also on board for Crap & Tax.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
