Obams will bypass congress, lipstick Lindsey will sniffle, wring his hands, and do exactly nothing.

Don’t cut the funds to the UN — tell them they can pick up the check in their new headquarters in Sana’a, Yemen.

They should threaten to de-fund the fuel budget for Air Force One .

If the Imperial One wants to fly around so much let HIM pay for the fuel

Sen. Graham is apparently planning a run for the presidency. He’s gotta act tough or at least appear to be politically active, i.e. stay in the news. However, it’s also entirely possible Graham holds reasonable, conservative positions on at least a few issues. It’s a long shot but it could happen.

That said, I definitely oppose him for any political office above dog catcher and dearly wish state law prevented him from holding office while running for president (to my knowledge, it doesn’t). I would be absolutely thrilled if he resigned as a senator to run, but that’s not going to happen. He needs that senator job as a fall back when he fails miserably, and nothing short of a coronary will ever pry him out of it.

Keep in mind, RINOs are generally far better politicians than leaders. Never, ever underestimate their ability to go scorched earth on conservatives to hold onto power. In Graham’s case, he’s mastered the ability to hold onto his at all costs. I respect that even though senators like Graham and McCain epitomize everything that’s wrong with the Republican Party.

Do you really thing anything has changed? Not a chance. Based on what he says? Obama knows how to play them like a finely tuned violin. They’re so frightened about being disliked by the press, they’ll continue the kabuki theater right up until they destroy the country.

Yet another Republican pounds his chest and pretends to be a man. With Graham, however, I would be more impressed if he threatened to hit Obama with his purse.

Muffin Cumberpatch is Lindsey Graham’s stage name.

If he'd actually cut 1 percent, I'd send him a campaign contribution.

I don't know.... maybe I'm just hopeful, but I'm starting to see a tide turning. Its about 3 years to late, but its starting to turn. SC may strike down obammycare state exchanges, an appeals court may side with the Texas judge who is ruling against obammyamnesty, I still think the senate letter to Iran was a really good move (it has essentially killed that deal), Cruz has inspired a number of people, even Graham and McNuts are starting to bow up a little.

I think obammy the wannabee emperor has overplayed Valerie's hand. I think at the end of the day the other two equal parts of government are going to come together and reign him back in. Maybe I'm just delusional.
