I can’t wait to see a statement from Graham’s primary opponent exposing the lie that this limp-wristed siamese twin of McQueeg really is ...
That’s the only upside.
Graham, McConnell, Cornyn and I forget who else are up for re-election in ‘14 and this wound will be fresh.
We may not win them all but hopefully we can continue to thin the RINO herd.

Senator Lee Bright
In spite of Graham voting to allow Obamacare to move forward today, he is doing his best to spin the story and trick voters into thinking the opposite. Just to be clear, voting “YES” on cloture = voting “YES” on Obamacare.
Don’t let Graham get away with this! Please support us today: https://rally.org/electleebright
South Carolina State Senator Lee Bright issued the following statement:
“Once again, Sen. Lindsey Graham has ignored his constituents by helping the Democrat Senate Majority Leader pass a Continuing Resolution which includes full funding for Obamacare. Lindsey Graham has been in Washington for decades but he is still falling for the tricks of Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer.
“It is disheartening to see that, despite the heroic efforts of Senate conservatives to stop the implementation of Obamacare, Sen. Graham followed in lockstep with Senator John McCain, saying that because McCain and Mitt Romney lost the last two elections, Republicans should completely surrender to every demand President Obama makes. I disagree.
“Were I in the U.S. Senate instead of Graham, I would have done the exact opposite. I would have been down on the Senate floor doing everything in my power to block the implementation of Obamacare.
“After Senate conservatives like Ted Cruz courageously filibustered to stop this abomination, Lindsey Graham could not wait to vote in favor of ‘cloture’, which is a Senate procedural move to go directly to a vote without delay.
“I am proud of Senator Tim Scott, who recently took Jim DeMint’s place in the U.S. Senate, who ignored Lindsey Graham’s advice and voted against Reid’s attempt to use procedure to fool the voters and fund Obamacare.”
“Graham’s vote Friday allows Senator Reid to take the House version of the Continuing Resolution and strip out the language that defunds Obamacare. As a result, when it comes back to the Senate, liberal Democrats will only need 51 votes to pass the bill and keep Obamacare fully funded.
“It is telling that Lindsey Graham’s office in Washington was refusing to even answer calls from irate constituents. Any South Carolina voter, who was not a lobbyist, was simply referred to a boilerplate recording assuring callers that Graham was doing what he thought best.”
