Lindsey Graham was sitting in a sedan early one morning and contentedly discussing the various fellow South Carolina conservatives who dislike him — Tea Partiers, Constitutionalists, immigration hardliners — when Van Cato, his upstate regional director, lifted a hand from the steering wheel and said: “That’s the leader of them right there. There’s his sign. He’s running for Greenville County Council.”
“Harry Kibler,” Graham, the state’s senior U.S. senator, murmured as he read the campaign poster.
“He’s the one that has that prop of your legs sticking out of a toilet in the back of his truck,” Cato added helpfully.
Graham turned away from the window. A large red flea bite, acquired during a recent trip to Afghanistan, sat aglow just to the right of his nose. “Is he running as a Republican?” he asked. Cato affirmed that Kibler was.
“Who’s running against him?” Graham asked.
“Fred Payne. He’s the incumbent.”
“O.K. Tell Fred, anything I can do, I’ll do.”
Graham is not a morning person, but at that hour in May he was thoroughly revved up, despite eating only a pack of crackers for breakfast. (Graham does not cook; it is widely believed by those close to him that he is incapable of manipulating a coffee machine, an oven, a toaster or a can opener.) Big issues rattle from his brain and out of his inert, somewhat glassy-eyed face as if dispensed by a gum-ball machine. Among these was the Kerry-Lieberman climate-change bill — or “energy independence” bill, as he preferred to call it for the sake of attracting conservative support. (“To me, it is about jobs, not polar bears!”)

The problem is phony conservatives. People who say they are conservative and call people like McCain and Linseed conservatives.
This has been the problem for many years.
Until these people and those who egg them on are exposed as sayers instead of doers, nothing will change. It seems the GOP always gets more conservative come election time. Conservatives deserve much of the blame for being gullible enough to accept words rather than actions. They do so because they are hungry for the real thing. But..time does not linger, and accepting talk for action has put us here. Candidates know what we want to hear and they play us like fiddles. The compromising and backstabbing comes later.
It is probably already too late.

He’s just begging for it. What a moron.
“Conservatives deserve much of the blame for being gullible enough to accept words rather than actions “
Charlie Brown, football, Lucy.
” Soon to be Governor Nikki Haley can inflict a lot of damage on Senator Graham, and as the article points out, she doesn’t like him at all: “
McCain is rich & powerful. He could inflict damage on Rikki, and a number of other good people. And he will. This is his last hurrah.
Yep
Conservatives are falling into the same trap all over again.
The blinders are on tight.
Lets see, McCain, Linseed, the east coast twins, Scott Brown.
Quite enough there to render ineffective any GOP victory.
If that happens, any hope of a 2012 take back of the WH will be over.
and our hopefuls actively campaign and support them.
Must be why I can’t get too pumped.
Finally some objective data on why Linseed acts as dumb as a rock—because he is! Combined SAT scores of 800! Isn’t that borderline retarded?
Me either.
” Combined SAT scores of 800! “
Source ?
(hoping )
“After tossing out a few if-I-can-make-it-anyone-can references to his humble beginnings as a pool-hall owner’s son in Central, S.C., and his 800 combined SAT score, the senator fell into his message du jour: “
That is pathetic. I thought only football and basketball players could do this ;-)
Is that higher or lower than Baraq's.
Since they're in a lockbox, we've never been able to find out.
” Is that higher or lower than Baraq’s.

If I had to guess, I would say Obama scored around 500 on each section, or a combined score of 1000. He was in “general studies” at Columbia, and had no business whatsoever in gaining admission to Harvard Law School.
