Who is Lizzy Gram a stalking horse for to splinter the vote to benieft whom since Lizzy Gram won’t get the nomination ?
The GOPe sends one of their pansies to attack Cruz. A third party is coming.
Sorry I had a hard time reading this. If you quote someone it is best to show who is being quoted. Not just a unidentified quote.
So I stopped reading half way down.
“First, when asked about Ted Cruz, Graham criticized his decision to shut down the government over Obamacare, saying it “hurt our party.”
Yes, it was so bad that you took over Congress in a landslide at the next election.
“He also intimated that Cruz doesn’t have the temperament or experience to bring about consensus on policy issues. “
In other words Cruz wouldn’t be a whore to the special interests like Linda and the establishment GOP is.
Most embarrassing having the same surname as this moron. Fortunately he is no relation.
Linda Graham makes me sick.
What a homo! How does this limp wristed fem keep getting elected?
WTF kinda contrived reasoning is that?
McCain’s GF gives free advice to people who will never support Linda.
“...Conservatives, on the other hand, refused to extend federal unemployment benefits. A decision, by the way, which cost this middle class family a lot.”
What, two years wasn’t enough?
Hey Lizzy Gram ?
We raised our standards with Sen. Ted Cruz, so now UP YOURS !
[First, when asked about Ted Cruz, Graham criticized his decision to shut down the government over Obamacare, saying it “hurt our party.]
“hurt our party = exposed the RHINO party.
TED CRUZ - Ronald Reagan would be proud - 2016

Don’t you just love it when a limp wristed RINO attacks someone for doing what he didn’t have the guts to do? Yeah Lindsey, it really hurt the party. You might look around and recognize that your party now holds the majority in Congress, in large part because Cruz gave people hope that someone would atand up for them.
How many Republican policies has Obama signed into law anyway?
Yeah. A lecture on temperament from a guy who wants to start about six more wars. What a stable guy!
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
As FReepers read this post, please bear in mind that Sen. Graham is a perfect example why the ill-conceived 17th Amendment should never have been ratified, state lawmakers foolishly giving up their voices in Congress when they ratified that amendment.
More specifically, misguided RINO Sen. Graham is ignoring his oath to protect and defend the Constitution by wrongly ignoring the following concerning unconstitutional Obamacare. Regardless what lawless Obama’s activist justices want everybody to believe about the constitutionality of Obamacare, Constitution-respecting justices had previously clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes. This is evidenced by the following excerpts from a Supreme Court case opinion.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress. [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The reason that taxpayers are now paying for unconstitutional federal programs like Obamacare is the following imo. When the Founding States established the federal Senate, they gave control of the Senate uniquely to state lawmakers. Part of the reason for having state legislatures control the Senate was so that the Senate could protect their states from federal government overreach by killing House appropriations bills which could not be justified under Congress’s Section 8-limited powers, Obamacare an example. This is because federal spending programs like Obamacare basically steal state revenues that could be used to finance 10th Amendment-protected state healthcare programs.
But now, as a consequence of 17A, citizens go home after voting for their favorite federal senators and watch football, oblivious to the problem that corrupt senators are robbing voter’s wallets. Senators are doing so by working in cahoots with the corrupt House to pass unconstitutional appropriations bills like vote-winning Obamacare which Congress cannot justify under its Section 8-limited powers.
Also, if it wasn’t for 17A, state lawmakers might have built up a 2/3 conservative majority in the Senate by now. This means that Congress could have possibly impeached and booted lawless Obama from the Oval Office by now.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear.
“First, when asked about Ted Cruz, Graham criticized his decision to shut down the government over Obamacare, saying it “hurt our party.”
right- and the midterm elections from last November proved his point...oh, wait.
