ease away from
his
pledge not to raise taxes. I have also supported
his strong
stance against nominees for Secretary of Defense candidate
Chuck Hagel and CIA Directornominee John Brennan.
Sadly, Graham is crumbling, betraying his own colleagues in the US Senate,
while choosing to
dine with the
President
.
Graham’s
membership
on “The Gang of Eight” has given
“compromise” a bad name, since every agreement with the President and
the Democratic leaders in Congress has only raised revenue without cutting
spending or bringing down the national debt without providing relief for the
taxpayer.
Three Democrats
voted against
the
fiscal cliff
deal, showing more integrity with their views, even if they chose
not to stand with their party.
Congressman Graham
fought against
the lying and corruption
of the stained and soiled former
President Bill Clinton. From his ascendancy to the US Senate until today,
Graham has gone from outsider to insider, representing the interests of the
Beltway instead of the Palmetto State. Graham has made other political
blunders, too. He
endorsed a
Democrat
for Congress, Howard Berman of Valley Village, CA,
when he should have stayed out of race altogether. He supported unqualified
judicial nominees (
Sotomayor, Kagan
).
He has recently
insulted an
outspoken libertarian US Senator, Rand Paul of Kentucky, who
pressed President Barack Obama to confirm that drones would not be used against
American citizens on domestic soil. Graham denounced Senator Rand Paul’s staged
filibuster to block the confirmation of John Brennan, a nominee who gave troubling
answers without providing any confirmation that future drone strikes would
never be used against Americans.
Senator Graham and his meandering (neither moderate nor maverick) Arizona
Senator John McCain, have gutted an pretense of representing the people, the
taxpayers, the businesses, in their states or in this country. Not ideology,
but idiocy undermines these two senators. The voters of South Carolina should
not submit to Graham’s poor representation any further.
Graham has crumbled. He is like a “S’more” who looks tough on the
outside, but on the inside he wants to be liked (the chocolate), and he is
squishy and soft on the issues (the marshmallow). Ge may counter with
“compromise, compromise!” Compromise is not a bad word, but it must
be principled, it must be purposeful, and it must remain persuasive.
Someone must mount a serious primary challenge to Senator Graham for his
growing list of abuses: illiberal Supreme Court nominees, reneging on no-tax
pledges, to his refusal to filibuster the appointment of Chuck Hagel for
Secretary of Defense, in spite of Hagel’s dreadful performance before the Armed
Services Committee (defenseless in the face of his “Jewish Lobby”
comment). Someone needs to have
him removed from office for parting ways with his oath of office. In his latest shameful
act, he said that anyone who killed Ted Cruz would never be prosecuted because
everybody hates him.
First of all, he has friends in the US Senate with the pro-liberty caucus, including Mike Lee (R-UT) as well as members of the House who have refused to to stop fighting the Big Government onslaught from Washington against the states and the people.
Graham also claims that the Republican Party has gone batsh** crazy. No, the votes, the grassroots, the base is “Mad as Hell” and tired of campaign conservatives who cave and keep voting against our rights and dignity! This S’more is a Satan
Sandwich!
He has crumbled under the pressures of a politician who wants to please
everybody, and even when he gets tough, in the end he reveals how softy and
squishy he really is. South Carolina, and the United States, deserve better.
No More of Lindsey “Smore” Graham – He needs to be roasted over a fire and
eaten away for good!
