McCain crony Lindsey Graham throws tantrum over Obama’s amendment
HotAir ^ | 06/07/2007

The most annoying thing about this is the strain of self-congratulation to it. He’s trying so hard to make it work, you see. He’s doing what’s right, the opinions of his benighted constituents to the contrary notwithstanding. And yet some people, to his sacrifice and great good deeds on behalf of Democrats and Mexicans, insist on more. He’s only got eight pints of blood to give, you know. Must be hard to read the bill with your hands nailed to the cross like that. The Obama tantrum wasn’t his only golden moment yesterday. Immigration demagoguery is SOP for this guy, most famously when he got up in front of La Raza and vowed to “tell the bigots to shut up” by cramming a fat amnesty pill down their cakehole. Now he’s taken to hinting, in vintage leftist fashion, that it’s not hard choices between competing values that lead conservatives to vote as they do, it’s just their basic, old-fashioned inhumanity to man:

Supporters of the legislation have also accused their foes of being callous in their push to deny residency to illegal immigrants. “If you want to be the person who keeps families apart, bring this bill down,” Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina and another of its architects, said Wednesday on the floor.

Exit question: He’s up for reelection next year. If the bill passes, will there be enough bitterness in South Carolina 18 months from now to knock him out or will he be safely far enough removed from it that it won’t be an issue?

It may be time to bombard his inbox with emails, also. What a piece of excrement.

What’s the world coming to when Lindsey goes up against Obama and Lindsey looks like the complete idiot?

It’s times like this that I wish we had Taiwan-style Full Contact Legislation. I’m sure that fistfights would break out on the floor of the Senate over this amnesty bill.

Here’s a hint Lindsey, if you’re so concerned about keeping families together-how about making sure they do it on their side of the border and not ours. I’m damned tired of the excuse making of the La Raza Lackies. If I should happen to win the lottery, I’ll spend some of it on his opponent or run my damn self just to get rid of him.

These traitors must be removed -- and their pensions taken.

Their assets should be given to the families inflicted by
rape, murder, infection, from the illegal alien vermin.

A serious question for SC Freepers: Are there any viable challengers to Graham and will they run?

Lindsey is very aptly named.

Someone here on FR once called him a pillow biter. Very accurate description.

Good point. No one is stopping the illegal invaders from moseying on back to their home countries if they miss their families.

Ravenel, the SC state Treasurer has been mentioned as a possible challenger. He comes from a rich, political family. He also has very conservative credentials. I do not know if he plans on running though.
