Fox: You say the president has been AWOL...He's been writing editorials, he's been all over the media, you don't think that's an approach that's been work-...
Graham: No, no, no, no. Scaring people is not leadership. Writing an editorial that if you don't pass this bad bill, we're going to have disaster....We've had enough presidents trying to scare people into making bad decisions...[Obama] is not leading. Having lunch is not leading. Getting people in a room like Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill did to solve Social Security has not happened here. Doing TV interviews is not leading.
We need a bunch of Republicans and Democrats in a room with the White House to find out how to smartly spend money to create jobs and if it doesn't create a job in the near-term, we shouldn't spend the money.
Fox: Do you fear the risk of being labeled a partisan with that kind of talk...?
Graham: If this is bipartisanship, count me out...this process stinks. It's been a partisan exercise in the House and the Senate...I am very disappointed.
...This is not the way you spend $800 billion...$1 trillion with interest!...16 senators behind closed doors trying to figure out how to do it by tonight. That's CRAZY!!
You don't suppose that Hillary misplaced her key to that testicle lock box and a Republican stumbled upon it do you? Well, maybe...
Sorry, I meant Lindsey not Phil.
yup ... that is the only thing a politician does ... reelection and election to the next level. Quite frankly we could lose most of them and the world would be a better place.
Kind of like a post turtle. Worthless.
This group of republicans ... not enough combined intellect to jump start a moron. It why we are where we are.
Hussein can destroy the country in 4 years ... we still don’t have any conservatives with leadership or intellect to take over.
We let it get to this by incrementalism
Might be time for a “tea party”
“Did Lindsey just find his balls in Al Gores lockbox?”
Not a chance, buddy. He never had any to begin with.
Being as a lot of my kin hail from SC, I am sorely disappointed that this little mealy mouthed MFer got reelected.
I expected better of them.
The CONSERVATIVE Lindsey Graham who led the fight to impeach Slick Willie against overwheming odds is back and he's kicking @$$ and taking names.
"When it was nine to nothing that Bill Clinton had to be a participant in a lawsuit and he chose to cheat in every manner you can cheat in a lawsuit, his conduct needs to be regulated and it needs to be brought to bear under the Constitution. And if you put him in jail after his office, that would not solve the constitutional problem he created...
If we can do nothing else for this country, let us say clearly this conduct is unacceptable by any president.
These are in fact high crimes. They go to the core of why we're all here as a nation, the rule of law. And he was told to abide by the rules of litigation, and he cheated, and you've got to put him back in bounds.
Remove him.
Determining that it's a high crime puts it back in bounds."
