Lindsey Graham: 'Best Thing for the Republican Party' to Let Obamacare Proceed

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on House Budget Committee chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to work with House Speaker John Boehner to pass a grand bargain deal that would end the government shutdown, raise the debt ceiling, and protect Obamacare by not delaying or defunding it.

On ABC News’ This Week, Graham said Ryan should team with Boehner to pass some kind of deal “that doesn’t delay or defund [Obamacare] but would be good government.”

“That’s the best thing for the Republican Party and for the country,” Graham said. “But as between House and Senate Republicans, the sooner this is over, the better for us, guys.”

Ryan took the lead in House negotiations and has offered a plan that would give President Barack Obama a clean debt ceiling increase while reopening the government in exchange for a repeal of the medical device sales tax in Obamacare and two changes to Obamacare that would, as some conservatives have said, ensure America has Obamacare “forever.”

Ryan fired shots at Senate Republicans.

“They’re trying to cut the House out, and trying to jam us with the Senate. We’re not going to roll over and take that,” Ryan said, according to the National Review.

Does anyone care about what’s best for the country anymore?

Nope. At least not anyone of the ruling class? They only care for what will give them more power and money.

Who gives a flying fig what the best thing for the Republican Party is, Goober?
What about the American people?
What about the devastation to the economy?
What about the destruction of the best health care system in the world?
What about the loss of freedom?
Goober, you are a disgrace and you can go to h*ll, but read my tagline first you fool.

Like Social Security (going broke)...
Like Medicare (going broke)...
Like Medicaid (going broke)...
Like the Education system (failed and flailing in place as we speak)...
Like welfare for our own citizens, meant to move them up in short order and end poverty. (how did that work out?)
Like the Food stamp program they fight to put people on...
Like free services for illegal aliens...

We could go on, but the point is that you never hear of the majority of citizens demanding a privatization of these.

Your model has failed miserably Lindsey.

Quit kissing McCain's posterior and think for yourself.

DO NOT push for a new government program to be the twentieth rail.

Last but not least, we got Obama. Look at him. Did that failure cause the public to reject him? If not, what makes you think Obamacare will be rejected?

Once something is put in place, it's almost impossible to get rid of.

Get rid of welfare. Then we'll talk about Obamacare...

So the best way to win is to surrender. Makes perfect sense.

Conservatives do.

We know this country cannot stand to just raise the debt limit every year and keep printing worthless money.
We know that Obamacare is a bad system that will bankrupt us as it destroys healthcare.
We know that Obama is a damned fool when it comes to Foreign policy, and a would be Dick-tator for Domestic policy.
We know Obama is helping the Muslim in the Middle east to grow stronger and cause more trouble.We know he doesn’t care about jobs for Americans ,but wants to import Hispanics to take American jobs.

Lindsey Graham: 'Best Thing for the Republican Party' to Let Obamacare Proceed

It's easy to say this in hindsight, after the Obamacare website has crashed and burned, and it's in your face that Obamacare will collapse on its own.

But that wasn't the case last month, when it looked like a conservative last stand was the only thing that could stop it.

It sounds like Linda has given up on freedom, the Constitution and America. What a wuss.

Hey Linda! Demand that the Kenyan take away YOUR immunity from ObamaCare and I'll think about it.

We also know that Next to John Mccain, Lyndsey Graham is the biggest double crossing piece of scum in the Republican party.
