Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says in a forthcoming article that the tea party movement is “unsustainable” and will “die out” because it lacks vision.
Graham made the comments to The New York Times as part of a profile in Sunday’s magazine written by Robert Draper.
Graham argues throughout the story that the Republican Party will eventually move away from the fringe and join him closer to the political middle but that, for now, it has shifted too far to the right.
“Everything I’m doing now in terms of talking about climate, talking about immigration, talking about Gitmo is completely opposite of where the tea party movement’s at,” Graham says. “The problem with the tea party, I think, is it’s just unsustainable because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country. It will die out.”

Lindsey Graham’s political career died out first.
I think the tea party in SC should have an intermediate term vision of getting Grahamnesty’s fat ass out of the Senate.
I cannot believe the great state of South Carolina keeps electing this moron to the Senate. He probably wants McCain to run for president again in 2012. The middle has always been such a successful platform for the GOP. Unreal.
Let him think that!
Lindsey Graham NY Times GOP man of the year.
I’ll make a bet with you Linda, I bet the TEA Party is still around long after you are beat by a TEA Party candidate in 2014.
““The problem with the tea party, I think, is it’s just unsustainable because they can never come up with a coherent vision for governing the country. It will die out.””
Our vision is called the constitution, you unprincipled idiot!
I’ll make a bet with you Linda, I bet the TEA Party is still around long after you are beat by a TEA Party candidate in 2014.
I’m praying for a quick and complete RINO ‘die-out’!
May Linseed pave the way with his loose tongue, and blurred vision.
Something’s going to move, allright, but it isn’t the Tea party.

Don’t worry, let’s just treat him as an unpaid DISINFO agent provocateur, LOL
I think I detest Lindsey Graham just slightly less than Obama.
Yeah Lindsey, yuk it up with that cretinous, America hating troll Kagan you elitist sack.
