Lindsey Graham denounces GOP base voters for 'visceral...almost irrational' dislike of Obama

[Calpublican]

It doesn’t matter to me where he was born;

I care he is a Muslim/Communist/America-Hating/Gun-Grabbing/Baby-Murderer.

[Darksheare]

Graham needs to go powder his nose and go meet with Thad Cochran’s barnyard honey instead of opening his stupid effeminate yap.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

We need to scrub the GOP of all the Lindsay types.

[SaveFerris]

[Sen. Lindsey Graham]

Gosh, I dislike this GOPe tool. He never lets go of his leftist ways. Not that I expected him to.

[Pollster1]

My “dislike” for Obama (an extremely mild term for my true feelings) is visceral, but it’s completely rational, and it has nothing to do with whether he is actually a foreign-born Muslim or merely a culturally un-American traitor. I react to Obama the same way I do to Charles Manson, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, and others who get joy from harming the innocent in large numbers. Anyone who is not revolted by the thought of a destructive and petty tyrant like Obama is not much of a human being.

[Shark24]

Dou you think there is a special “programming” room in the bowels of the Congress where the government handlers brainwash would be conservatives into metrosexual (or worse) liberals? Could it be something in the water?

[dynoman]

I wonder what objective information does he base that opinion on? Sounds lke the typical elitist “everybody has one” type of opinion.

[Olog-hai]

He came into Congress riding on Thurmond’s coattails, looks to me. Not only was he part of the almost-coup against Gingrich, he voted against all of the articles of impeachment against Clinton too.

[dschapin]

I don’t know if Sen Graham’s poll numbers can get any lower but this sure should do it if anything can. I sure hope the voters of South Carolina send this joker packing next election.

[dschapin]

I thought he was one of the impeachment managers. Are you sure he voted against the articles of impeachment.

[SaveFerris]

I think Meryl Streep accidentally (or on purpose) did a Hillary impersonation in the 2004 remake of “The Manchurian Candidate”.

I don’t think we have this technology. But the movie is something else. I’s say what really transforms these people is power and money.

[Talisker]

I remember when this guy was the darling of the conservative base, and when he was one of the big movers-and-shakers during the Clinton impeachment years. Now that he has been completely co-opted and has converted to a far-left Globalist elitist, in the same situation, he would have been one of the most vocal opponents of impeachment. Think about that for a moment. And think about the powers that are arrayed against us, and their abilities, if they can affect such a change. If it does not make your blood run cold, nothing will.

"Powers and Principalities" ain't just a river in Egypt.

Traditionally, I believe such a place is called a "lodge."

[This_far]

Lindsey, I believe you were born in America, are not a Muslim,

but I still don’t like or would vote for you.

Same with Barry the brave, don’t care where he was born or his faith.

He’s not fit for the office (or residency).

The Republican Party is full of these dangerous idiots.

Paul Ryan is embarrassed by Conservatives, too.

Owebama spent the country into oblivion, and the Republicans were back-slapping and giving interviews saying that Obama is a good man,

They stood by while the Tea Party was attacked and dismantled, and Susan Rice and Hillary lied to the country.

Chris Christy is another RINO that loves to stab the conservatives in the back.

[The Duke]

Graham and McCain are such buds I suggest that any stain on Graham should also be associated with McCain.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

“Think about that for a moment. And think about the powers that are arrayed against us, and their abilities, if they can affect such a change.”

I agree, but think there are a lot of ways for people to become ‘co-opted’. That's why IMHO term limits are essential.

[Soul of the South]

All of the GOP establishment candidates are merely playing their assigned rolls. Like Obama, their words are handed to them by others. Lindsay willingly plays the dual roles of fool and village idiot, not unlike the roles Wasserman-Schultz and Sheila Jackson Lee play for the Dems. The point is giving credibility to the leftist portrayal of the GOP base as a bunch of bigots. Lindsay was reflected in 2014 so he has 2 more years of getting free air time for denigrating a large segment of the electorate. In 2018 he’ll throw on his conservative coat, and start criticizing democrats, in preparation for his reelection campaign.

In 2016 will the people of South Carolina flock to the polls to reelect Mr. Graham for yet another term? Probably.

[Soul of the South]

Actually it will be 2020, not 2016 before the voters get to reelect Lindsay.

[Louis Foxwell]

He says 40% see through O’s deceit. I say it is closer to 75%.
