11/08: The Lindsey Graham Legacy
Category: General
Posted by: Tocqueville
I am unamused by the continued presence of Lindsey Graham in the United States Senate. His latest fling, this with the "Gang of Ten" in the matter of energy policy, is a profound irritant and fundamentally damaging to the November election effort of Republicans at all levels, as the lovely Kimberly Strassel explains:
"Sen. Obama was thrilled. He quickly praised the Gang's bipartisan spirit, and warmed up to a possible compromise. Of course, he means removing even the token drilling provisions now in the bill. But he's only too happy for the focus to remain on the Gang's efforts, and in particular on the five Republicans providing his party its fig leaf."
But one must be struck by the profound and gratifying irony of a Gang of Some Number that includes the oleaginous Sen. Graham cutting the electoral legs from under the sojourning maverick senator from Arizona in his presidential campaign in the same manner as the Arizona senator and Sen. Graham and the Gang of Some Number gleefully accosted the electoral focus of the incumbent president by a similar scam in the matter of judicial confirmations.
Has this party neither a brain nor a spine?

that they don't even bother to support the candidate opposing him. He is such
a sleazy politician that he has paid off just about every possible contender from
his campaign funds and arrogantly doesn't even bother to campaign here. Instead, he's going around the world humping John McCain's leg the whole way.
He has betrayed us, the citizens of this state and country, at EVERY possible opportunity. He is an anathema to the concept of consent of the governed and representative government. He does whatever he thinks will put his big googley eyes on TV talk shows and then
says that that is what we sent him to D.C. to do! He is a traitor in every sense of the word.
Bob Conley will drill through Rudolph's red nose to get oil! He's for turning
loose the industry so that we can become energy independent as quickly as possible.
There is a grassroots effort here in S.C. to dethrone the "Princess of Puerile" but we need help from anywhere we can get it to combat this royal suck-up to the foreign and multi-national lobbyists and his 3.6+ million dollars.
