Lindsey Graham: Why is Rubio complaining about a bill that he helped write?
Hotair.com ^ | 6/18/13

Posted on 06/18/2013 12:31:07 PM PDT by cotton1706

“How do we put together a bill and then the guy who put it together says that he may not vote for it?” Graham asked me. “I just don’t get what we’re doing here.”

His specific complaint: that GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a fellow member of the Senate “gang of eight” who had spent months drafting a bipartisan immigration reform bill, seemed to be backing away from the legislation…

Graham needed Rubio to bless the deal and stick with it, not flinch at the first whiff of tea party gunpowder.

Life is full of such questions, Lindsey. Like, why do we give benefits to people who don't belong here? Why would a "conservative" senator from South Carolina vote with the democrats so often? and other such questions. It's fun to ponder!

Gee does it matter what’s in the bill? And of course Rubio and these other idiot senators didn’t write it.

I’m no fan of Rubio’s but while Rubio may have written the bill he didn’t write all of the amendments and riders that have been tacked on to it.

Rubio is trying to play both ends against the middle. He wants to appear both for it and against it.

Schumer Republicans are hard to figure out. Nobody knows why they do what they do.

Why is Graham always supporting the Democrats?

It’s easy when you accept they are intentionally mislabeled Democrats.

Because Marco has his Co-hones in the ringer because Conservatives are telling him what they REALLY THINK!

Marco Rubio has a GREAT need to be liked, he cannot stand the criticism.

The F’ING GOP better figure out WHAT THEY ARE, and WHAT THEIR POSITION IS. This in-public infighting is ridiculous.

Graham asked me. “I just don’t get what we’re doing here.”

You're driving the last nail in your party's coffin and in the process destroying your nation as traditionally known, remember?

“This in-public infighting is ridiculous.”

I’m actually enjoying it if it’s genuine. RINO’s are used to doing the stabbing in the back, not being the ones being stabbed.

And in reality, this is not infighting, since Graham is not a republican (though he calls himself one).

May Lindsey’s Graham’s frustrations continue!!
