Graham is doing the McCain two-step, sound like a conservative for re-election and right back to pushing country killing amnesty after.
Grahamnesty has voted for amnesty THREE times.
He has not changed his spots.
He has said repeatedly he will keep working for amnesty until he is removed from office.
We should take him at his word and remove him.
I’ve read quite a number of your posts to this effect.
I don’t think you’re going to persuade me, and I don’t think I’m going to persuade you. But here goes anyway.
My general view is that I’d rather have an electable candidate I agree with half the time than an unelectable candidate who’s just “perfect” down the line.
Remember Alabama and Roy Moore.
Obviously, we want to elect as many strong conservatives as possible. But it’s even more important to keep RATs out of public office. And if that means holding my nose occasionally and voting for a candidate who is less than down-the-line “perfect,” that’s just the reality of working within our Constitution.
I only once voted for a Democrat — I was just 19 at time, so forgive my youthful folly. I have voted many times for Republicans I found less than inspiring — and I never once regretted it.
Overall, I believe in defensive voting. A do-nothing government will hurt you a lot less than an activist one.
While acknowledging his shortcomings, I see enough value in Lindsey Graham 2.0 that I would have little problem supporting him if I were voting in South Carolina. But I’m in Florida — and we have similar problems with Marco Rubio.
I guarantee you, I will vote for Marco Rubio over any RAT. And no excuses for staying home.
Mitt Romney, on the other hand ...
My enduring hope is that DJT’s example puts some steel into the spines of GOPe placeholders. I don’t entirely blame GOPe senators and reps for their timidity — how can you pass anything if every measure you propose is denounced as racist by a partisan and mendacious news media?
It takes an almost superhuman degree of mental toughness to shug off a daily cacophony of lies and sladers. But that’s President Trump — and may we all learn to follow his example.
