LINDSEY GRAHAM POISED TO SELL OUT TO CHUCK SCHUMER ON IMMIGRATION REFORM

Powerline ^ | November 13,2012 | PAUL MIRENGOFF

[Hojczyk]

When the smarmiest Senate Democrat and the smarmiest Senate Republican sit down for talks on an issue of fundamental importance to the nation, and to the future of conservatism, conservatives should be very scared. When the smarmy Democrat is Chuck Schumer, a shrewd partisan, and the smarmy Republican is Lindsay Graham, a squish who gets his kicks from cooperating with Democrats, conservatives should panic.

Schumer’s objectives in the negotiations are clear: to reach a deal that will enable the Democrats (1) to cement their position as the Party that dragged reluctant Republicans into a breakthrough immigration deal, thereby keeping the Dems’ promise to Hispanics and (2) to cement his Party’s future success by bringing millions of reliable Democratic voters into American politics.

Graham’s objective is also clear. He wants to ensure his status as a star legislator who is able to broker bipartisan deals that address the nation’s most important problems.

It’s obvious which Party will emerge as the winner in these negotiations.

I don’t doubt that such a future is okay with Lindsey Graham, who isn’t much of a conservative and who regards himself as above Party. Graham’s name will be on landmark legislature and he will have been at the center of an historic, bipartisan deal, and that’s what matters most to him.

I would once again call Lindsey Graham the Arlen Specter of the South, but to do so now would dishonor a dead man.

Immigration reform? All they do is lie about it. Here is a list of Fat Teddy's (now sober three years) lies:

"The [immigration] bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It
will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the
standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose
their jobs."
            - Ted Kennedy, 1965

"This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal
aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again
bring forward another amnesty bill like this."
            - Ted Kennedy, 1986

"Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken
system."
            - Ted Kennedy, 2007

Just imagine Zombie Teddy (dripping wet of course) sitting in the Senate and spewing lies ('cause he can't find any brains to eat there).

Let’s hope whomever steps up does not follow in akin and mourdocks footsteps.

There should be a “rape question” litmus test by then.

I knew what that POS was up to years ago when he and McLame were yucking it up with Hitlery back in her Senate days.

She was assuring him his Senate seat was safe because she’d keep the illegals voting for him when he pissed off all of the legal South Carolinians by staying chummy with the Dems.
