RUSH: Lindsey Grahamnesty was on the Today show today. Meredith Vieira interviewed him. She said, "When you went home recently, you were at a GOP meeting, you got booed over immigration. A lot of people in a lot of states, conservatives who think this bill is bad and they see it as a litmus test."

GRAHAMNESTY: Here's what I believe. This is a bill is a million percent better than the current system. I mentioned working with Ted Kennedy, and I got booed. I'm a Republican conservative who believes my country is at risk by not solving immigration. I'm a member of the United States Senate who believes it's my job to work with Democrats to do hard things. This is no longer about immigration. Can your Congress, can your Senate come together to do things that one party can't do by itself? I think the answer is yes -- and if we fail here, Meredith, on immigration, good luck with doing Social Security.

RUSH: Oh, please!

GRAHAMNESTY: And if Congress punts and we don't have the political will to get this done --

RUSH: Please. Please. Save it.

GRAHAMNESTY: -- local and state government will act. There's over 1100 local laws being proposed now that would be a hodgepodge of immigration laws that would really bring this economy to our knees.

RUSH: Good Lord, what happened to this guy? He's gone from being one of the House managers in the impeachment of Slick Willie, to this! Do you think Ted Kennedy worries...? Ted Kennedy loves snookering people like Lindsey Grahamnesty. Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid love pulling the wool over their eyes, and Lindsey Grahamnesty, apparently... That's why I was saying to you new-toners, you think this is the way to get things done? What if Kennedy's bill is bad, Senator Grahamnesty? What if it's an absolute abomination? What if it's going to do more harm to the country than not doing anything right now? This idea that we don't do anything, all is lost? You had six years to do something. Why now? Why all of a sudden now? This is pure politics. We have an '08 election coming up. Both parties think that if they do the "right thing" here they're going to get these Hispanic voters. The Democrats know they're going to get 'em. The Republicans pray they can get 'em by pandering to them by being like Democrats. This is exactly what I was talking about. Democrats don't care about getting along with Senator Grahamnesty. I guarantee you, Democrats that heard Senator Grahamnesty to Today show today are licking their chops and they're rubbing their hands together and they are thinking, "Okay, that's one guy we've taken out." His job is to go to Washington, and work with Democrats? That's even more important than the immigration bill? I always thought that you went into politics because of conviction, principle, driven by desire to see that your vision for your country was enacted, not to get along and work with Democrats -- and this is one of the problems that we on our side have, this perpetual self-identification of being the minority and on the defensive all the time.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Let me just ask you a question, my friends. Do you think Chuck Schumer is interested in his objective being a United States Senator is to work with Republicans and people like Lindsey Grahamnesty?

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Still here, ladies and gentlemen, considering the comments made by South Carolina Senator Lindsey Grahamnesty saying his job is to go to Washington, go to the Senate to work with Ted Kennedy, to work with Democrats to get hard things done. So if Lindsey Grahamnesty's job is to work with Democrats, and Chuck Schumer's job is to work with Democrats (because I don't think Schumer and Kennedy think their job is to work hard with Republicans), so if you've got Schumer working for Democrats and Lindsey Grahamnesty working with Democrats, who's working with us? All right, me, exactly. And I'm unelected.

Elected RINOs believe their sole mission in life is to work for Ted Kennedy, aka Uncle Ted. Lindsay Grahamnesty said this:

" I mentioned working with Ted Kennedy, and I got booed."

OK, its clear who this South Carolina RINO thinks he represents. And he has the chutzpah to call himself a Republican conservative!

"Trabajo para el Tío Ted y estoy orgulloso de ello. ¡Aquellos intolerantes de Yanqui pueden callarse sólo!"

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Dr. Levin called it right on "Goober Lindsay Graham"! Feh!! [spits disgustedly]

[gipper81]

Grahamnesty bump

[Bulldawg Fan]

How long will South Carolina put up with this stuff?

[Mr. Mojo]

GRAHAMNESTY: "Here's what I believe. This is a bill is a million percent better than the current system."

The RINOs' (Bush, Graham, Spector, McCain, etc.) favorite talking point. Of course there's a third option they're all avoiding like the plague: Enfoce the existing laws.

[rawhide]

Rush is absolutely right, and this girlie-senator, Miss Lindsay, is a disgrace to the Republican party. I say kick him out over to the democrats, since he enjoys smooching up to Kennedy and Hillary so much. It is better your enemies are out in the open labeled as democrats, rather than stabbing us republicans in the back, as this milk-toast senator has done. What a piece of work, he/she is?

[txhurl]

I think what’s shocking the RINOS is that the RAT voters just as incensed as we are. Illegals take Rat jobs, too.

[SUSSA]

Graham is up for reelection in 08. He needs to be defeated either in the primary or in the general. He doesn’t deserve to be in government.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Just say NO to Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!

You know Teddy Kennedy cannot believe his good luck, having dolts like Jorge Bush and Lindsey Grahamnesty carrying his water for him. And I don’t suppose that arrogant sociopathic elitist snobs like Teddy Kennedy really have any friends, but I bet if Teddy did have any friends he would confide in them and privately make fun of Bush and Grahamnesty by saying that these two are every bit as stupid as they appear.

Good luck with SS, Huh? I guess that means you figure your job is to slap on a fist full of vaseline and cram your "compromise" up my ###. Well, I guess that my response could only be that if your cheated-manhood ever finds itself within slicing distance of one of my sharp edges, I'll be wearing your little peanuts around my neck.

New blog targets Sen. Lindsey Graham (About Amnesty!)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1847357/posts

Writes Mr. Dinan: “Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John McCain of Arizona both went to check with Mr. Kennedy before casting their votes to match his. Soon after, (Arizona Republican Sen. Jon) Kyl also switched his vote to match Mr. Kennedy’s.” The amendment was defeated.

Nice. Rat jewelry, lol.

“local and state government will act. There’s over 1100 local laws being proposed now that would be a hodgepodge of immigration laws that would really bring this economy to our knees.”

National Review had a post today speculating that the reason the Wage Depression interests don’t want the status quo of non-enforcement is they fear enforcement by the states. Kyl and Chertoff were pegged for this.

Graham’s statement bears that out. The bill’s backers fear is enforcement, so they create this Sneate bill which makes enforcement meaningless, despite all of its tough talk.

Graham’s lack of talking about enforcement alone as a solution as a possibility, means the “economy on its needs” means big business paying market wages for American citizens and legal residents.

Graham hates markets. And Americans.

[Shermy]

“and if we fail here, Meredith, on immigration, good luck with doing Social Security.”

Why is one dependent on the other? False linkage. Graham’s lame attempt to appeal to SS reform advocates with a lie about future changes.

Lie after lie after lie

“and if we fail here, Meredith, on immigration, good luck with doing Social Security.”

You donkey, how does putting 20 million losers who haven’t contributed one stinking dime to our Social Security program help it ???

[org.whodat]

The little no cojones needs a good bitch slapping, but he would probably like it.

[blam]

Graham, making decisions Americans won't make.

How long will it be before these Anti-American RINO's decide they need Secret Service protection?

[Danette]

Where are the democrats that feel like we do on this bill? DU is silent on the matter.

[txhurl]

The DUmpsters don't represent their party at all.

They're the 'loud' ones, like we are, who don't represent their party at all. /s
