To his credit, though, he did get the Democrats and the Obama administration to agree to use liberal dollops of Vaseline while he’s “in the position.”
I would so love to see politicians like Graham go home the meet with constituents where they seriously get their asses kicked.
"Hit him again!"
This isn’t the way to get “hispanic votes.” The way to get them is to hold fast to one’s principles, and not give in to the loonies on the left.

Ding,ding,ding! We have a winner.
Good!
Light-loafered Lindsy. What a RINO punk!
Oh yeah, he’s a KEY player in the GOP which explains why the GOP is in the state it is in.
He is nothing if not consistent.
Lindsay has a La Raza award to uphold.
Is he due up for re-election? If so, buh bye!
Who said he was a Republican?
