Graham-Paul Dispute Highlights GOP Fissure [Paul says GOP should live up to professed beliefs]

What are they going to do with the party ... pandering to the old country club Republicans and acting like Democrats and bailout funds and TARP funds? Those kind of things just won't hold up for the Republican Party. That's why the Republican Party has been losing. And we're suggesting that they live up to what they profess to believe in.

Ron Paul is right. Lindsey Graham is a fool and a traitor.

Live up to professed beliefs? How are you going to win elections that way? (/s)

[Dan Middleton]

I’m having one of those Spanish Civil War (fascists versus communists) moments: in a fight like this, the best you can hope for is lots of casualties.

[Unam Sanctam]

I’m not too fond of either one, for different reasons.

My new nickname for Lindsay Grahamnesty is "Liberace".

Cheers!

An isolationist, peacecreep, anti-Semite kook versus a pansy, lap-dog, pro-amnesty RINO? A pox on both their houses. I wish both of them would leave the party, toot-sweet!!

This does show how far the party has fallen. We have gone from debates between Goldwater and Rockefeller, Reagan and Ford to “Vice President” Lindsey Graham and Mr. One Percent Ron Paul. On the one hand you have a fool who favors Global Warming Treaties and Amnesty so he can get good reviews in the Washington Post. And a radical libertarian who wouldn't defend the United States if Osama Bin Laden were walking up 3rd Avenue. To Hell with both of them.

[FlashBack]

LOL...That’s one keyboard ya owe me 2DV!!!
Could not have come up with a better analysis in a hundred years!

[Terpfen]

Well put, both of you.

[VRWC For Truth]

Grahamnesty needs to RESIGN and take Mr McGooser McLame with him!

[Steelers6]

We don’t want the Lindsay Graham Party either, when we are in the middle of a socialized health care battle this idiot jumps in with the previous Presidential candidate on the global warming hoax to help them push more destruction of our economy.

Graham spends his time attacking Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Ron Paul. He should be going after Obama, Kerry, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi. The people in South Carolina need to get rid of this fool.

[Buchal]

There is no evidence to support the claim that Paul “wouldn’t defend the United States if Osama Bin Laden were walking up 3rd Avenue”.

[CitizenUSA]

Graham told the Furman University audience that “I’m not going to leave the party; I’m going to grow the party.”

What a naive nutjob Graham is. Yeah, he’s really going to grow the party by taking the mushy middle. No, more likely he’s going to piss off those of us on the right who are eager to vote for conservatives. If I thought a conservative third party had a snowball’s chance, I’d jump this RINO-run Republican ship in a heartbeat! Even if I remain Republican, I will only vote for conservatives who share most of my views. The RINOs can rot for all I care!

[Patrick1]

Other than what he says?

He sort of reminds you of what people sometimes call a cat that begins with p....

An isolationist, peacecreep, anti-Semite kook versus a pansy, lap-dog, pro-amnesty RINO?

I am very curious about the charge that Ron Paul is an anti-semite. What do you base this on? I don't recall reading of any anti-semitic comments from him.

Ron Paul is perhaps one of the best positioned “Republicans” to be able to lead the pubbies out of this total absence of leadership. This is assuming that he himself is not the frontrunner- his foreign policy won’t work with many conservatives- but his domestic/ fiscal policies are looking better and better. I was not a Ron Paul supporter in the pubbie primaries until all of the conservatives had lost, and it was down to Mccain, Huckabee, and Paul, and I then voted for RP. Of course, I later voted against the Kenyan. Paul has a great following- If he could somehow rally his support to a true conservative ( Palin?) he could REALLY do some good.
