In his new profile piece in the New York Times, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said something very interesting about one of his top allies, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ): McCain is moving right because of the challenge against him in the Republican primary from former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.
As we noted, Graham predicted that the Tea Party movement will die out, saying it has no actual vision for governing the country. But that's not all Graham had to say. Here's the exchange about McCain:
I observed that if this conversation about how to resolve tough issues were taking place in 2006, I would likely be having it not with Graham but with his friend and legislative mentor, John McCain. "Totally agree," he responded. "I mean, I was the wingman, O.K.?" But, he acknowledged, things are different now: "John's got a primary. He's got to focus on getting re-elected. I don't want my friend to get beat."
I asked whether he was giving McCain a pass on anything risky this year.
"Yeah," he said. Graham added that he was thinking about a question I recently asked him: would he be so out there, in a bipartisan way, if he were facing re-election this year rather than four years from now? "The answer's probably no."

No Sh**, Sherlock.
I look forward to both Lindsey and McLame being shown the exit from the Senate.
Must reading for every Arizona voter......
Graham is a great specimen of that variety of Republican that is ashamed of the positions he supposedly holds, and who runs after the lib media and the lib politicians who so obviously loathe him. He will do anything to gain the attention of these people, like a little kid who thinks by saying what the cool kids want to hear, he will win their friendship. In fact, his open desire for their approval just makes them hate him more.
This RINO knows no shame or conscience - may Justice be swiftly applied in both of their cases!
God help us... Wake up people!
What I find particularly interesting here, is that Graham has just confirmed what a number of people on this forum have refused to admit.
MeCain is a leftist and he is acting like he isn’t right now to get re-elected.
What has caused the homo to suddenly start talking incessantly?? Yes, he is stating the obvious, but why is he always on TV talking? He’s embarassing.
How does he know what “veering right” even looks like?
I'll say.

“saying it has no actual vision for governing the country.”
Pansy means the Tea Party movement has no vision that he agrees with.
Anybody with half a brain can see Juan is running as hard as he can to the right. "Must... puff, puff, get... puff, puff, puff, reelected... puff, puff, puff, puff, [sounds of collapse]"
Uber RINO Lindsey Ping
"Republican by day, Democrat by night."
Want on or off this ping list?
Just FReepmail me.
And he’s the one who pretty much handed us Obama. What is wrong with the Republican party that this is who we got in November? This guy needed to be kicked to the curb years ago. He’s a weasel.
Ghramnasty and McStain, Trojan horses in the GOP.
look who is talking
>> Must reading for every Arizona voter......
And the foolish media-cons supporting McCain.
"Why certainly, Lindsie. And then next go 'round, you do the trick and I'll tell the press."
This is your last term Girlie Graham. I bet you pull a Charlie Crist is South Carolina.
