Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Sunday that chances for a small “fiscal cliff” deal in the next 48 hours were “exceedingly good” and that President Barack Obama had won.
“I think people don’t want to go over the cliff if we can avoid it,” Graham said on Fox News Sunday. …
“This deal won’t affect the debt situation, it will be a political victory for the president and I hope we’ll have the courage of our convictions when it comes time to raise the debt ceiling to fight for what we believe as Republicans, but hats off to the president; he won,” Graham said. “He stood his ground. He’s going to get tax-rate increases.” …

Shut up, wuss. Fix your hair so you look pretty for your boyfriend Juan McLame.
Is Barney and he dating yet?
This is actually Graham’s (somewhat feeble) attempt to make it clear that Obama is to blame for the tax rate increases. I think it will probably happen, it will be horrible, and it’s important to make it very clear that the GOP opposed it. Obama is trying to make it look exactly the reverse.
I don’t support Graham but his comment was well put:
Graham said. “He stood his ground. He’s going to get tax-rate increases.”
Why was this not the center piece of the GOP campaign against the POS and his minions in the first place? It is like they wanted to lose and perhaps they did.
The GOP won’t fight for their voters (specifically) and for the American people and the economy (in general) ... and then they wonder why they lose elections
Loser graham of the Loser party.
We should endeavor to elect more losers from the Loser party so they can lose more.
Loser Graham, when you show up to a fight and don’t throw any punches, you get your ass kicked.
The GOP is a joke. I don’t see how anyone takes them seriously anymore.
It is not the most distressing thing in the world that The Won, Bronco Bama, was re-elected, it is just that the establishment Republicans should not be GLOATING about it, as they had won some victory for themselves as well.
Still seething. Secession looks like a better and better option daily.
So once again the elected GOP shows it is mainly populated by GIRLY MEN who are more afraid of being disliked by the liberals, than have the BALLS to represent the people who elected them. More and more it is shown that our leadership believes it belong to the Gutless Old Party.
If it passes the House, then the GOP is going to be blamed
100 years ago this creature would have been tarred and feathered and run out of town or worse, not ELECTED in a state like South Carolina.
I HOPE the GOP members in the HOUSE have the fortitude to stop this.
IF NOT, its time to ABANDON the GOP - TOTALLY.
They are a bunch of gutless capons and surrender monkeys.
They would make a great division in the French Army!!!
But where else is a po conservative to look? Elections are rigged. There will be no third party.
The SOB didn’t win a single seat in my state.
Some may believe that the Kenyan “won” but not all of us. This was the most corrupt “election” I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. He’s this country’s first illegitimate president. And that’s “historical”.
Yep, the GOP surrendered pre-emptively
This whole thing makes me sick. This whole economic fiasco was created by the president and congress yet the wuss GOP will cave in again and will agree with the left to impose higher taxes and more regulations on the American people again. Washington DC is the equivalent of that deadbeat friend we all have who goes out on the town with you, runs up a big bill, and in the end stiffs you with the bill. The American people, for the most part, are just letting this all pass without a fight. We’ve lost our country and from our own stupidity.
Secession, the ONLY option.
Probably. I just wish more of them would come out and put the blame squarely on Obama, who has not “negotiated” from day one but has simply refused or distorted and ignored any and all suggestions.
