Lindsey Graham: I Won’t Let Ron Paul Hijack the GOP [YouTube Funs!]
American Conservative Magazine ^ | October 13th, 2009 | Jack Hunter

Posted on 10/13/2009 7:44:45 PM PDT by Palin Republic

This isn’t the best audio but more evidence of South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s complete dismissal of Ron Paul’s adherence to rigid constitutional government. Notice in the first video that instead of addressing the woman’s criticism head on, Graham simply asks her who she voted for in the presidential election. When she replied “Chuck Baldwin” Graham then attempts to marginalize her based on her support for the Constitution Party, slamming Paul in the process.

The following took place 10/12/09 at a town hall meeting in Greenville, SC:

Lindsey Graham is determined to run traditional libertarian and constitutionalist conservatives out of the GOP.

That would be stupid. I can't imagine letting anything Graham would say have any power over me!

Graham says he only cares about being a winner. That can only mean one thing, i.e., power. Wanting to win political office devoid of a devotion to principle is all about personal power and glory. I am not interested in those kinds of “winners”.

It’s not Ron Paul and the Paulians that you have to worry about, Lindsay.

There are a LOT of angry people out here in Flyoverland. They’re angry at YOU and your Senate cronies, at Pelosi and the out-of-control House, and at the TelePrompTer In Chief.

And we can’t wait for a chance to show you all exactly how angry we are, in a little over a year from now.

The fifth column is alive and well with Graham, Voinovich, Snowe and Collins.

Saul Alinsky tactics. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Statists are all alike. When you can't defend your position intellectually and logically attack your challenger.

Saw this on CNN at the Logan Boston airport today (at the bar yet) and thought of you three.

My condolences to you for having to sit at Logan. Done that many times myself, and it sucks.

A Message for Lindsey; I won't let an ass like Ron Paul hijack my party either. And sure as hell, I won't allow a guy like you who has been totally perverted by the Beltway establishment hijack it either.

Both you and Ron Paul can go take a hike as far as I'm concerned, and take John McCain and Olympia Snow with you.

We are the Republican Party... not the Libertarian Party and most defiantly not the Democrat Lite party as you would have it.

To quote a great man I once followed, government is not the solution to the problem, it is the problem, and Senator Graham, it is apparent you have become part of the problem, not part of the solution.

At this point if the choice is between Graham and Paul I’ll take Paul.

I won't vote.

“I’d be much happier with BOTH of them out of the party.”

Kick out people like Paul, you’re just left with people like Graham, McCain, Snowe, and Bush.

People who believe that there is no limit to the power of Congress and that Big Government is the answer.

Graham has got to know that only Palin’s presence on the ticket prevented far more voters from voting for Paul. For some time now, I’ve suspected that McCain chose Sarah for precisely that reason.

RE :”My condolences to you for having to sit at Logan. Done that many times myself, and it sucks. “

Yes, I was going back to home BWI. What a difference in quality. One crappy bar at Logan (inside the Airline gates I was at) and I was on the last flight . MD turned BWI inside security gates into a Mall. But it never helps me as I always fly out of here.
